This week Im joined by the Man from East Lower to discuss all the Arsenal goings on, including the absence of Santi Cazorla and how we might cope with that, the EFL Cup game in midweek, decisions to be made at right back, the back of November and lots more. There's some discussion of the tragic event in midweek involving Chapacoense and some of the worst media coverage of it, a quick look ahead to West Ham, lots of Christmas commercials and a dollop of the usual waffle.

In this week's show we look back at the 3-1 win over Bournemouth, two goals from Alexis, one from Theo Walcott, a solid performance from Granit Xhaka, dodgy penalty decisions, as well as taking time out to enjoy the misery of others in the Premier League this season. Then we take listener questions about the EFL Cup, what to do at right back and should we play a left-back there, Alexis and his dogs, trying to understand Nutella, and lots more.

In this week's show we look back at the 1-1 draw with Manchester United on Saturday. We assess Arsenal's lacklustre performance but enjoy the result itself, discuss the midfield conundrum and how Aaron Ramsey fits into this team, if he fits into it at all. We also talk about Alexis, an angry Olivier Giroud and all the rest, before taking listener questions about the timing of substitutions, whether United should have had a penalty, what kind of team we might see against PSG on Wednesday, great headers and lots more.

Ahead of the game this weekend I get a Manchester United perspective from Musa Okwonga, before we look at things with Arsenal eyes with Andrew Allen. How will United set-up? Will Alexis play? Can we break down the many hoodoos that hover over this particular fixture? It's all in there, along with lots of the usual waffle including that bizarre Gallas/Nasri taser story, and lots more.

In this week's Interlull episode we try and figure out what the hell is going on with Alexis and his hamstring. Should he have common sense and not play? What will be the impact if he does play and aggravates his injury? We have an Interlull round-up of the Arsenal players away with their countries, and then there are listener questions about the youth set-up, what approach we should take when we face Man Utd next weekend, the most outrageous moments of skill from Arsenal players, wasps, what we think about and lots more.

After some waffle 'inspired' by this week, I sit down to chat with Stephen Bradley, a former footballer and currently Arsenal's chief scout in Ireland. He was a huge prospect when he arrived at the club as a 15 year old, but for various reasons he never made the jump to the first team. We discuss that, a football career that ended at 27, his move into coaching and managing, another Irish lad who almost made it at Arsenal, what he looks for in young players, if there are any young Irish prospects we should be keeping an eye on and lots more.

In this week's episode we discuss the 1-1 draw in the North London derby with Sp*rs. We chat about what was a disappointing performance, our lack of conviction from an attacking point of view, defensive frailties, whether it was a fair result or not, some individual performances that caught the eye for various reasons, and a Premier League round-up. We then answer listener questions about diving, how we might freshen things up in the wide positions, refereeing, the upcoming game against Man United, home form v away, and James reveals exactly why he posted such an interesting picture on Instagram on Saturday night. All that and much more.

Time for this week's Arsecast, and I'm joined by Tim Stillman to discuss that Mesut Ozil goal, and the German's influence on this team at the moment.

In this week's spooky Halloween episode we look back at how we sucked the blood out of Sunderland at the weekend; two goals each for Alexis Stabchez and Olivier Grrrrrrroud; a great reaction to being pulled back by their penalty; all the weekend's action in the Premier League; and a look ahead to Champions League action against Bloodogrets. We then answer listener questions about Jack Wilshcare, Steve Boooooooould, which left back deserves the nod against the evil of Tottenham, Arsenal nightmares, and there's stuff about ghosts, zombies, and killer clowns.
