23/24 Is Over - What happens now?
We politely ignored the end of season stuff, as none of us were in the mood to breakdown a brilliant season that ended on a downer, so instead we look forward to what the summer will bring! We talk transfers including news about links to Benjamin Sesko, and potential departures of Smith-Rowe, Zinchenko, Ramsdale, Nketiah and Kiwior. Join us and please subscribe!

Final Day Drama? Silly Spurs Fans, Ange Fallout, Everton Preview & Season Reflections
So close yet still not close enough. City win 2-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium where time stood still as Son Heung Min failed to dispatch a simple chance that would have put Arsenal in the title driving seat going into the final game. We discuss the repercussions of that result, all of the fallout from Ange’s post match comments, look ahead to Sunday’s game vs Everton and have a general reflection on the season (so far) and what the club might need to do in the transfer window to close that 2 point gap next season.

86. Wolves 0 Arsenal 2, World Cup, Ronaldo and much more!
5 points clear at the top before the WC break! Arsenal fans are in all kinds of conflict right now, is it time to believe that a madness can happen? We discuss the win at Wolves and the other results that went our way. We also get into which Arsenal players did and didn't get a call up to the World Cup, and obviously we also touch on the biggest news story of the week - Ronaldo's truth bombs! We are good friends and also happen to be North Bank season ticket holders at The Emirates. We talk about Arsenal so...

85. Chelsea 0 Arsenal 1 - Reaction
Is this the statement win of the season? Is this finally the win that puts respect on what Arsenal have been cooking? It may be the third time in a row that Arsenal have won at Stamford Bridge but this felt different. Arsenal dominated and expressed technical superiority for the whole game, it was a lack of finishing that kept the victory down to just 1-0. On our latest live show we review the game from both perspectives of being in the stands and watching it on TV. We also look towards our League Cup encounter with Brighton on Wednesday...

Thumping win at The Emirates. In theory it’s what you’d predict when the team at the very top is at home to the team at the very bottom but as the Premier League proves so often, you just never know. So many things to talk about on reflection including Martinelli’s continued ascent to potentially scary levels of good to Reiss Nelson unexpected sub appearance being unexpectedly phenomenal. Check out our thoughts on all this and more on our latest pod as we also preview our upcoming games against Zurich and Aubameyang’s Chelsea. We are good friends and also...

82. Southampton 1 Arsenal 1 - Reaction
A draw. What a strange feeling, we never draw. Arsenal’s winning streak comes to an end in what was a quintessential game of two halves. Arsenal were outstanding in the first, and pretty abject in the second. The good news is we’re still top of the league and only one Big 6 rival managed to win this weekend. We cover all the main talking points from the game including Gabriel Jesus having a day to forget in front of goal, lacklustre substitute performances and a controversial diva-like display from the referee. We also look to our upcoming games against PSV...

What a madness of a game! From power cuts to missed pens to overturned reds to an Arsenal win, the only thing it didn't have was the Rolls Royce version of Arsenal that we've got to love this season. So perhaps leaving Elland Road with three points after that performance is yet another sign of this team being a different beast to last season? After all the other results this weekend, Arsenal are four points clear at the top. Tune in as we review the game and look towards our upcoming games against PSV and Southampton respectively.

It just keeps getting better and better! It’s almost unthinkable that you can follow up an NLD victory with an even more enjoyable win but this was arguably the case with the Arsenal boys beating Liverpool in a five goal thriller at The Emirates. So much drama, so much to talk about, but in conclusion it’s another milestone passed to evidence the progress of this vibrant and hungry side who are STILL top of the table after 9 games played.

North London is RED! What an amazing day at The Emirates! Yet another W to keep Arsenal at the very top of the league! Spurs’ boring anti-football finally got the loss it deserved as Arteta kept faith with his Plan A, dominated possession throughout and goals from Partey, Jesus and the reborn Xhaka sent the lily-sh*tes back to Mordor. We had another reason to celebrate as we welcomed Niro back onto the pod after a lengthy hiatus.

We discussed how we expect both sides to approach the game, whether a statement victory is needed by Arsenal, the possible line-ups and ways in which we can see Spurs hurting Arsenal. When he eventually turned up we got Jason’s lowdown on Spurs’ season so far, his feelings on their style of play, individual player performances, hopes for Spur...

Another dose of redemption! The team that flattened us on opening day last season got comprehensively controlled on Sunday with many calling it the most complete Arsenal performance of the Arteta era so far. The Arsenal boys go back to the top of the league as we say goodbye to the first spell of the season and enter the first international break. No Odegaard, no problem it seems. Fabio Vieira marked his full prem debut with an absolute banger off the post. Check out our latest pod where we talk about the win, Tierney’s qualities, England snubbing Ben White, th...

Check out the recording of our first ever livestreamed episode! Apologies in advance for the overexcitement during the episode but in the same way recording after a defeat is a new concept this season, so was recording live. We went into the detail of our defeat to Man Utd at Old Trafford to try and make sense of a game where we looked so impressive and dominating in patches, yet sliced open and punished repeatedly. We obviously talk about VAR too because it’s probably the most talked about thing in sport right now. We also look to our upcoming gam...

Just like Arshavin running around at Anfield with his fingers in the air, it’s FOUR wins on the bounce to continue our perfect start to the season. If you choose to ignore the celebration police, then you were probably mightily impressed with the team refusing to accept that it just wasn’t gonna be our day as we came back from a goal down to beat Fulham. On the pod we reflect across our first four victories and figure out what we’ve learnt. We talk defensive habits, attacking trends, squad depth, transfer incomings and we even preview our next g...

On an outrageously hot day at The Emirates, Gabriel Jesus was quite simply on fire. Two goals and two assists on his home debut was the least he deserved for ripping Leicester to shreds. On the pod we reflect on what he’s showing us plus much more such as Xhaka’s new attacking responsibilities, the threat of our left hand side and the nature of the goals conceded. We also spend some time talking about the catastrophic start to the season Man Utd are having and what elements of Arsenal’s rebuild they should look to copy. We finish up by...

What a brilliant start to the season. We don’t know what was better; watching William Saliba being imperious on debut or meeting Daddy Ramsdale in the pub!

We discuss how the foursome faired and whether the unit stays as it is next season. Is there a chance Xhaka leaves? Can Lokonga play a bigger role? Will Partey’s injury struggles get worse with age? Is there a future for Torreira or Maitland-Niles? We also talk about the type of midfielder that’s on our wishlist for next season and whether Tielemans could be the right guy for us. We are...

With reports however that Eddie is on the brink of signing a new five year deal, we decided to spend some time reviewing the striker situation at Arsenal. We discuss who we think should stay, how many strikers we need going into next season, and what type(s) of centre forward we’d like to see Arsenal sign this summer. We are good frien...

Regardless, The Emirates was full of positivity and support for the young team and manager that have given us much to cheer about this season.

A painful episode to record on the whistle. Arsenal limp out of the Top 4 race with a 2nd defeat in a row. No goals in two games and a fair few conceded in the process. No-one gave this young team a chance at finishing in the Top 4 and sadly in the end it looks as though barring a miracle at Carrow Road then 5th is where we’ll end up.

One centre back sent off within 30 mins, the other one injured at the end, and an absolute hammering in between. Arsenal head into the final two games of the season still in the box seat for 4th but with a defensive crisis to deal with and team confidence likely bruised in a big way.

Luckily the beatdown we gave Leeds prior to old boy Luke Ayling getting sent off was enough to seal three points and put Arsenal in a powerful position in the Top 4 race. A win on Thursday in the NLD and it’s sealed. A loss still keeps Arsenal in the box seat but with a potentially tricky away game days later at Newcastle, Arsenal fans around the world are gunning for at least a draw. Check...

West Ham 1 Arsenal 2 The chant was “Yellows! Yellows! Yellows!” on Sunday which in hindsight probably made the ref think we just passionately wanted him to book everyone. That arguably could’ve made a very drab game more exciting but who cares about excitement when you grind out a scrappy win away at West Ham to keep the UCL aspirations alive.

Arsenal lose after taking the lead (again) against a team that hadn’t won in eight and who are so bad their fans were planning to walkout in the middle of the game.

This game had a bit of everything from freak goals, great goals, penalties given, penalties not given… but ultimately it culminated in a defeat for Arsenal. Did we do enough going forward?

May we see any of the U23s who have seriously been on fire in PL2 recently? We are good friends and also happen to be North...

Ep 42 - New Kids On The Block - Arsenal 1 Norwich 0 Reaction
First game post transfer window closing and Arteta wasted no time in giving us a sense of his target future state. A new look back 5 was just one feature of a range of interesting choices made throughout the game which resulted in a desperately needed win. 30 shots on goal indicated the 1-0 win was thoroughly deserved even though the only goal was from all of 0.3 yards. Check out our latest pod where we reflect on a fun day at the Emirates and we look to our next game away at Burnley. We are good friends and also happen to be N...

Ep 40 - Make It Make Sense - Man City 5 Arsenal 0 Reaction (plus transfer chat)
An absolute mauling by Man City with a range of ill disciplined and lacklustre performances by a questionable line-up left Arsenal fans around the world with a lot of questions, some new and some old. Check out our latest pod where we ponder a few of them such as; Why aren’t the players delivering for the manager? Why are we persisting with players who have been trying to leave?

Ep 39 - Overpowered - Arsenal 0 Chelsea 2 Reaction
A highly anticipated return to a non-Covid restricted Emirates resulted in a comfortable Arsenal defeat by a Chelsea side who were better in every department. Injuries, illness and work permits removed the core of the Arsenal team but how much of an excuse was it? How badly did Lukaku bully our CBs? Was an assist and a goal from James at RB damning on Tierney? How important is West Brom on Wed and City on Sun to Arsenal? How important are those games to Arteta’s job security? We discuss all the key talking points! We are good friends and also...

Episode 36 - A Bad Dream - Euro 2020 Final Reaction
Our Starboy was dealt the cruellest of blows in the Euro 2020 Final and the country rallied around to show him the support and love he deserves.
