In this episode we look back at the 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday afternoon. Not a lot happened in the first half, and Mikel Arteta made a change at the break bringing on Noni Madueke for Eberechi Eze. We discuss how much of today's performance was about what Arsenal were missing in terms of attacking quality and how much the home side made life difficult for us. We assess Madueke's match-winning contribution, then relive the final three minutes when Forest had three very good chances to score and try to understand how that happened, before we try and make an assessment of the team so far this season. In part two we have questions about Eberechi Eze, the impressive start Ezri Konsa has made to his Arsenal career, Declan Rice and Bruno Guimaraes, Max Dowman's scant minutes so far this season, and lots more.

In this episode I'm joined by Andrew Allen to discuss the 3-0 win over Lille in the Champions League. We chat about the manager's team selection, and his comments about Noni Madueke and volume, before we discuss a decent – if not great – first half, and the way Arsenal changed things in the second period. There's some focus on Jurrien Timber after his excellent goal, as well as Eberechi Eze hopefully kick-starting his season, and increasing the technical level with the introduction of Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard. We also speak about the Mr Ken Friar after he passed away this week, paying tribute to his legacy and incredible tenure at the club, as well as reported job cuts, and more.

In this episode we look back at Saturday's 2-1 win over Leeds. We begin with some surprising selection decisions from Mikel Arteta, and a first half which saw the opposition pose more goal threat than Arsenal. Then, after falling behind in the second period, we got ourselves going with Riccardo Calafiori's equaliser before Bruno Guimaraes came off the bench to score the winner. There's discussion of how the game changed, the impact of the subs, how to frame the performance and the result, and some chat about players who didn't get off the bench. In part two we answer listener questions about Bukayo Saka and his performance, how left footed we were from the start of this game, being more creative in open play, the Arsenal crest/badge, and lots more.
