Another, more in depth, look back at a thoroughly enjoyable semi-final win over Chelsea. Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we pick out our highlights from the game, attempt to explain Rosenior's tactical approach and call out Neville for some odd utterances on co-comms. There's also praise for Rice, Hincapie and Havertz. Stef reflects on the atmosphere in the ground for that final minute, and beyond. We also take a look ahead to the next huge game, home to Sunderland on Saturday. Who do you think will start and what do you think the score will be? Please follow & rate where you get your pods.

The games are coming thick and fast now - no sooner have we dispatched Leeds, than we now face the second leg of our League Cup semi final against Chelsea on Tuesday. With a single goal advantage how do we approach this game? Who should get the nod in the starting 11 - go strong, or rotate, or perhaps a little from column a and a little from column b? We also have another look back at the win at Elland Road - who was your standout player? What pleased you most about the performance?

The perfect response to our recent premier league 'wobble'. Four goals, a clean sheet, open play goals, a set piece goal and an own goal. Superb. Plus, a goal apiece for our number 9s.

The season starts now. A big week lies ahead as we travel to Elland Road, host Chelsea in the second leg of the semi, with Sunderland visiting the Emirates the following Saturday. Three wins and our recent woes will be but a distant memory. Join Holly and Stef as we look back at Arteta's press conference, our performance against Kairat and ahead to the game with Leeds. Will Arteta be a bit more adventurous with his team and tactics on Saturday? Who should get the nod in our attacking positions? Odegaard or Eze or Havertz? Trossard or Martinelli? Gyokeres or Jesus?

Not the United review we hoped we'd be recording, but perhaps the United review we feared we would. Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we attempt to make everyone feel better about life as an Arsenal fan at the moment. We are still top of the league after all. We examine whether our lack of open play goals is a systemic issue, a player issue or simply a consequence of pressure. We explore possible solutions, from resting certain players, promoting others, to being more adventurous in the final third. We pick our teams for Kairat on Wednesday - should Arteta rotate the lot, or send the attackers out again in the hope they can find some confidence?  Please follow & rate where you get your pods.

It's here. The one game of the season I dread, home to Man United. Scarred by far too many defeats against this opposition I struggle to look forward to these games. But, join Holly, Stef and Chris as we chat through where we think the game can be won and lost. How will Carrick set them up? Who starts up front for us? What about left back, Lewis-Skelly, or Timber? We also react to the financial data put out by Deloitte regarding revenues, as Arsenal are moving up that table as well. There is the return of a quiz (name the 6 players to play for both clubs in the Premier League era) and a quick look back at the midweek fixtures. Please follow & rate where you get your pods.

Well that was fun, wasn't it? Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we give our instant reactions to winning 3-1 in the San Siro against Inter Milan. Arteta leaned into his squad, and boy did they reward his trust. Two goals for Jesus, one for Gyokeres, but who starts up front against United on Sunday? Special mentions for Mosquera, Lewis-Skelly and Saka. Nwaneri and Zinchenko also get a mention, and there's a little chuckle at City and Spurs. Please follow & rate where you get your pods.

For the second consecutive league game we are faced with addressing the old debate of two points dropped or one point gained. So, which is it? Forest, with no shots on target, clearly played for the draw, whilst we had an xG of over 2, created 4 big chances and could have had a penalty. Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we attempt to work out how we feel about the game itself. Focus falls on an impotent attack, and how we can get the best out of the skill sets we possess. Is it personnel, or systemic, fatigue, or an obdurate opponent? We also look ahead to the trip to Milan on Tuesday, mindful that there's the small matter of United next Sunday.  Please follow & rate where you get your pods.

Stef is our man at the City Ground for an ultimately frustrating 0-0 draw. We sneak an extra point ahead of Man City but it could and maybe should have been three..?

On to away game number three of 4 in this current run of tough fixtures, traveling this time to the City Ground for a 5.30pm kick off on Saturday. Forest may sit in 17th place, but this has all the hallmarks of an upset if we're not fully switched on. Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we talk through our chances, exploring team selection, the threat from Forest and what could be a hostile atmosphere. We all also have a final word on Chelsea, welcome our new throw-in coach and bid farewell to the BFG.  Please follow & rate where you get your pods.

A routine 4-1 away win in the 3rd round of the FA Cup for Arsenal reserves. In seriousness though, that starting 11, 10 changes from the Liverpool game, must be a terrifying prospect for all our rivals. We have such depth this season. Anyway, join Holly, Chris and, from the ground, Stef, as we react to the performance at Fratton Park. We also look ahead to Wednesday's semi-final first leg at Stamford Bridge - we explore what approach and team selection Arteta may go for, especially when looking ahead to Forest away on Saturday. Is the league cup now an important trophy, in terms of this team actually winning something? Or should he prioritise the league game on Saturday and perhaps rest a few again? We also run through a few more positives from today, and have a final word on the Martinelli narrative this week.  Please follow & rate where you get your pods.

One point gained or two points dropped? Join Holly and Chris, plus Stef at the ground, as we attempt to address this question following that 0-0 draw against Liverpool. Were we too tentative, or should we give Liverpool, the current champions let's not forget, more credit. They were only missing Salah from last season's stroll to the title. We didn't lose, we're still 6 points clear, we're one game closer to the title. There's also a brief look ahead to the FA Cup tie with Portsmouth this Saturday as we begin a run of 4 away games in 4 different competitions. Another record!

What a fantastic set of results we've seen this weekend. United, Spurs, Chelsea, Liverpool, and, most importantly, City, all dropping points. Join a very happy Holly, Stef and Chris as we look back on all the positives from our win at Bournemouth, with a healthy sprinkling of schadenfreude looking at our rivals, Villa aside. We single out Rice for some well deserved praise, doff our caps to our mental resilience, as well as acknowledging that we don't always have to leave games on such a knife edge going into the final 10 minutes. We also look ahead to the visit of Liverpool on Thursday. Who do you think will start, and what do you think the score will be? Please enjoy, like, share, etc. Thank you.
