In this episode, Jon (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@305Cast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@yellowribbons.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠), and Sham (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Shamsdale⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@shamsdale.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) engage in a much-needed therapy session after Arsenal's 1-1 home draw with City. They jump in with a long discussion about the lineup, particularly the selections of Leandro Trossard and Mikel Merino, as well as critiques of what those two players offered, the drawbacks of playing game-managing profiles at the beginning of matches, and Mikel Arteta's seeming reluctance to trust attacking players like Eberechi Eze and Ethan Nwaneri. Jon and Sham then turn to positives from the match, namely Arteta's quickness to make changes and Gabriel Martinelli's second game-saving goal in as many matches. The two close out the episode with a chat about their concern levels regarding Viktor Gyokeres and how they're looking at Arsenal's Premier League campaign with Liverpool now five points ahead.

In this episode, Jon (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@305Cast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@yellowribbons.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠), and Sham (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Shamsdale⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@shamsdale.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) get together to talk about Arsenal's 2-0 win at Athletic Club. They first spare a thought for Liverpool, who continue to blow two-goal leads but pull off stoppage time winners. They then focus on their own match, starting with some praise for Athletic Club. They then discuss Eberechi Eze's and Viktor Gyokeres' performances, as well as the over-analysis that can accompany those performances. Jon and Sham zero in on Thierry Henry's critique of how Gyokeres approached one of his chances. They then talk about the match-winning contributions of Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, the savvy change in attacking dynamics those changes represented, and what it means for how observers should think about squad roles at Arsenal. The two close out the pod with a preview of Manchester City's upcoming visit to the Emirates -- what to expect from Pep Guardiola's men, predicted lineups for both teams, and confidence levels heading into the significant clash.

In this episode, Drew (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@GeecheeKid⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Twitter/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@supplyanddemandrew.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Bluesky), Jon (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@305Cast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@yellowribbons.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠), and Sham (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Shamsdale⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@shamsdale.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) discuss the Gunners' 3-0 triumph at home to Nottingham Forest. They start with a quick chat about what they expected from Ange Postecoglou's Forest side before delving into the collective displays of Noni Madueke, Eberechi Eze, and Viktor Gyokeres. After that, the trio turn have a conversation regarding whether the injuries to a number of Arsenal's stars have overly burdened the new players too soon into the season. The guys then address Ethan Nwaneri's performance in relief of the again-injured Martin Odegaard, Cristhian Mosquera's performance and how much Mikel Arteta can rely on him, and whether concern is warranted regarding the continued absence of Ben White due to injury. They close out with a quick preview of Arsenal's upcoming trip to Athletic Club in the Champions League.

They also touch on highly encouraging showings from Noni Madueke and Cristhian Mosquera before wrapping up on the topics of how social media has warped football fandom and whether Arsenal's title challenge is still on in light of the Anfield result and Liverpool's deadline day signings.

They then turn to Arsenal's imminent signing of Bayer Leverkusen's Piero Hincapie and discuss how the Ecuadorian defender will fit into the team. After that, they chat about the departure of Jakub Kiwior to Porto, which sparks a long conversation about the Gunners' unimpressive track record when it comes to selling players. They touch on Arsenal's draw in the Champions League league phase before ending with a preview of the upcoming trip to Anfield, what lineups they expect, whether Max Dowman should feature, and score predictions.

In this episode, Sham (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Shamsdale⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Twitter/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@shamsdale.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Bluesky) is joined by Curran (@CurranBoP) to discuss Arsenal's 5-0 win over Leeds in their first home match of the season. The two briefly address continued policing of Gooners' joy by rival fans before discussing the significance of Eberechi Eze's arrival at the club. The two then turn to whether the result should have done more to convince supporters of the viability of this Arsenal team. Afterwards, they zero in on Viktor Gyokeres' performance and whether he has done enough yet to prove he can succeed at the Premier League level. They then dig through some new tactical elements of this Arsenal side, discuss how this summer transfer window has finally given the team the options they need to win trophies, and how Arsenal could potentially line up at Anfield without Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, and Kai Havertz.

The guys discuss how Eze will fit in on the pitch, what he brings to the team, and what this move represents on a larger scale for the club and the 25/26 season. They also rate the summer's acquisitions on a scale of 1-10 before taking a moment to laugh at Spurs, of course. The trio then chat about the news that Kai Havertz has sustained a knee injury, how long he could potentially be out for, what that means for the team, and how Arsenal can cope in the German's absence. They wrap up on the subject of Leandro Trossard's pay bump and Arsenal's reasons for rewarding the Belgian.

Drew and Sham close things out by discussing Arsenal's continuing issues counterattacking, how good they think United will be this season, and the prospect of Eberechi Eze joining Spurs.
