Matthew, Paul and Lana get together to discuss the defeat at Crystal Palace, why it happened, and what the injuries mean for the way forward. We also talk strikers (particularly two ex Lyon heroes with contrasting fortunes), piss poor punditry and whether the kids may have to be supplemented by even younger kids!

On this week's podcast, Matthew is joined by Paul, Anita and Lyon-loving Lana to look back at beating Aston Villa, talk Mesut Ozil, Aubameyang and Lacazette while looking forward to future forwards (and wondering who they might be).

Plus, we laugh at PSG, talk Mikel Arteta cojones and marvel at Rob Holding's advancing hairline.

Matthew and Paul look back at the comfortable win over Leicester City, rave over the Partey/Odegaard/Saka hub, and give some love to Xhaka/Laca for their selfless efforts. 

We also look ahead to stiffer challenges on the horizon, speculate about tactical tweaks, and wonder what the situation at Chelsea means for the Premier League and club ownership going forwards.

Matthew is joined by Sylvain Jamet to talk about wins against Watford and Wolves and the women's wins against Reading and Birmingham, all while trying not to worry about war (although we discuss what that means for Chelsea FC). 

We also talk tactical shifts, one-touch attacking and the race for the top 4, while we grab our popcorn for the continuing Man Utd fallout, and look at Everton, grateful for Arsenal ditching Usmanov.

Matthew and Paul look back at beating Brentford from on screen and in ground perspectives, and particularly look at the front four. We talk tactical shifts, transfer targets and the next exciting U23 yo. 

Plus we inevitably touch on referees and ask what do Emile Smith Rowe & Kevin Campbell have in common...

Matthew and resident US sports (and tactics) expert Stephen Bradley look at what the LA Rams 'World Championship' and a recent state-side interview with Josh Kroenke says about KSE, how they operate and their plan for Arsenal - and how the transfer window fit into that plan. Plus we prove Arsenal's latest red card was wrong (morally AND technically), have our final say on the Auba situation, laugh at Spurs and look forward to Brentford.

Matthew and Paul return from Covid cancellations to discuss Arsenal's underwhelming (at best) transfer window. We look at the Auba situation from multiple angles, shrug our shoulders at the departure of squad fillers, and share what we've found out about Auston Trusty (A SIGNING!). 

Matthew and Paul force themselves to look back at the FA Cup exit against Forest, and look forward to the League Cup semi final - all while keeping an eye on the North London Derby. They ponder problem positions, agree on transfer priorities and wonder which government fast tracked vendor Liverpool got their PCR tests from - and somehow end up comparing the dearly departed Mesut Ozil to Colonel Walter E. Kurtz...

Matthew is joined by Helen and Paul to look back at the heart-breaking defeat against Manchester City and take stock in a bumper pod with a half hour on refs alone.

After an initial 30 mins (skip if you like!) talking about match officials and why VAR isn't working (where Matthew is, remarkably, not leading the charge), we bask in the glow of the Arsenal evolution, and reflect on progress made.

Plus we look at the striker situation, and wonder if any of them will still be here come the summer...

Matthew and Paul bask in the glow of an enjoyably easy late afternoon at Elland Road, revel in the continued development of the kids and marvel at Xhaka benefitting from refereeing leniency. 

Plus we look forward to the EFL Cup and beyond, ponder the captaincy question, and wonder what Arteta's vision for for a future front-man is.
