  S3E148 Como Recap, Community Shield Preview

  Aug 17, 202650 minS3

  A recording by Stateside Gooners about Arsenal vs Como and the Community Shield preview between Arsenal and Team 115 Charges in the 'ultimate' preseason trophy game. (?) I’ll keep this simple. Preseason wasn’t great, but it was fun seeing Cesc back at the Emirates, right? In the last game of the preseason, the Community Shield, we have a chance to win a trophy from Team 115 Charges. That’d be fun… Sure, we talk a bit about that Como game, but that wasn’t a game we wanted to spend a lot of time on, so we didn’t. We did spend more time on the preview. Tell us how we did, and what you think. Thank you for tuning in! Share the podcast, give a follow, and go on and give us a healthy five star review… somewhere. You’re the best.

  3E150 Preview Time: Arsenal 26/27 Season

  Aug 17, 20261h 3mS3

  On this episode, Eric, Kevin, and Matt discuss the upcoming English Premier League season. There are loads of new managers in the league this season, does that help or hurt Arsenal’s chances at defending the EPL title? The guys discuss if you can only pick one position to fill before the end of the transfer window, do you fill left wing or do you fill right back. You might be surprised at the answers. We talk about the American players in the league, who will have the best season? Will the World Cup create more Arsenal fans? The last half of the show is spent on predictions for the season. That’s right, we made our predictions and we plan to tally things up after the 26/27 season is over to see who did the best job. We created a scoring system and everything. Eric is going to post a table on the Stateside Gooners Substack to document our answers and provide you with the questions in case you want to create your own list of answers, so you can see how you do against the Stateside Gooners.

  S3E146 Girona Review and Silly Season

  Aug 2, 20261h 13mS3

  Stateside Gooners review the preseason friendly with Catalonian club Girona FC and then talk transfers in and out. Stateside Gooners Aug 02, 2026 The transfer window is open, and if you follow Arsenal on your phone, the club is apparently signing about forty players a day. Almost none of it is true. Some of it is. This week we sort it out. We break the entire summer rumour mill into three tiers. The deals that are essentially done, the ones with real interest but a real wall in front of them, and the ones that somebody invented for clicks. If you are American and you have no idea which of these outlets to trust, this is the episode for you. We name our sources, we tell you which tier they sit in, and we tell you what you can trust. Plus, we get into the 4-1 pre-season win over Girona. Max Dowman was the story of the night, a sixteen year old who produced both a goal and an assist and was at the heart of everything Arsenal did well, including a turn and through ball for the opener that was the best moment of the match. And new signing Christos Tzolis marked his debut with a goal, showing exactly the tenacity and technical quality that has fans wondering if he might turn out to be the bargain of the window. New episodes Sunday and Wednesday nights. Come be part of the Stateside Gooners community.
