As the new Arsenal season begins, the guys from The Short Fuse take a look at what's about to happen by answering as many reader questions as possible.

Episode 13: The Arteta of War

Apr 16th, 2012

The guys discuss Mikel Arteta and Yossi Benayoun's importance to this Arsenal campaign, as well as whether or not taking a break in a game you're safely winning is a good idea.

Episode 12: UGH

Apr 5th, 2012

Well, we hadn't lost to a relegation-threatened team for a while, so why not now? Also: cursed pubs, a dent in the left flank, and iTunes.

Fusillade 10: Verminated

Apr 5th, 2012

Newcastle has been Verminated. Who's going to get the next one? Rosicky? Chamakh? HLEB?!

Fusillade 11: Thieran Walgibbs

Apr 5th, 2012

Two Arsenal wins in one podcast? Surely you're kidding! No, friends, this is just the New Arsenal. With fully functional fullbacks.

Fusillade 0: The Pilot

Mar 29th, 2012

The pilot episode of The Short Fuse's new podcast, starring Thomas Wachtel and Aidan Gibson. We'll complain about missed chances against Wolves, debate the merits of Thierry Henry's return and Lukas Podolski's possible transfer, and preview QP

Fusillade 1: Return of the King

Mar 29th, 2012

There's only one Thierry Henry, and he's back from New York to (hopefully) be better than Marouane Chamakh. Also we use FIFA 12 to predict the outcomes of some upcoming games, which should tell you how Thomas feels about most match predictions

Fusillade 2: The Michael Owen Injury Watch

Mar 29th, 2012

Well, that went well! We spend more time than anyone really wanted on the Swansea game, but trust me - the podcast really gets good when we preview the Manchester United match, mostly by making jokes about Michael Owen. Catharsis!

Fusillade 3: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Mar 29th, 2012

So the Manchester United game didn't go quite as we'd hoped. We break that down, then talk about some ancillary details - like our collective distain for fans booing their team's players.

Fusillade 4: Winning and Sagna Are Bac, but Jack has a setback

Mar 29th, 2012

Ted and Aidan discuss Arsenal's dramatic come from behind victory against Aston Villa, as well as Jack Wilshere's injury.

Mar 29th, 2012

The gang review the Blackburn rout and preview the Sunderland match.

Fusillade 6: Everything Was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt

Mar 29th, 2012

So, that was fun! The guys discuss the last-minute win on Sunderland's beet patch, Thierry Henry's unadulterated awesomeness, and the specter (spectre?) of AC Milan looming. Also some mad skillz from Cristiano Ronaldo, for no real reason.

Fusillade 8: 5-2, Even Rosicky Scored!

Mar 29th, 2012

We beat Tottenham. Yeah.

Fusillade 7: Everything Was Awful And It All Hurt

Mar 29th, 2012

The pod go over, reluctantly, Arsenal's capitulation against Milan and their exit of the FA Cup, plus pessimistically predict the Spurs match.

Fusillade 9: Valor in Defeat

Mar 29th, 2012

Few predicted it, but Arsenal almost managed to pull themselves out of a self-imposed 4-0 hole to get past Milan in the Champions League. We talk about that, beating Liverpool, and the future of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (among other things).
