In this episode, Drew (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@GeecheeKid⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Twitter/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@supplyanddemandrew.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Bluesky), and Sham (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Shamsdale⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@shamsdale.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) are joined by Elliot from the Arsenal Vision Podcast (@YankeeGunner/@arsenalvisionpodcast.com) to chat about Arsenal's end to the season. First, Sham picks Elliot's brain about meeting Mikel Arteta at Arseblog's and Arsenal Vision's show at Union Chapel. Then, they discuss the practically makeshift side Arteta deployed at Southampton on the final day of the season and whether, purposefully or not, it sent a message regarding a lack of quality in the squad. The trio then turn to takeaways from the season the club needs to bring into the summer window, as well as their confidence levels in whether Arsenal will do enough during the offseason regarding player acquisitions. They then close out with a discussion about the Arsenal Women winning the Champions League and what it means for the club as a whole.

In this episode, Sham (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Shamsdale⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Twitter/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@shamsdale.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Bluesky) is joined by Curran (@CurranBoP) to chat about a multitude of transfer developments. First, they discuss reported contract extensions for Leandro Trossard and Thomas Partey, as well as the wisdom of executing those new agreements. Then Sham picks Curran's brain regarding the wingers linked to Arsenal, particularly Rodrygo and Nico Williams. After that, the two talk the pros and cons of signing Benjamin Sesko or Viktor Gyokeres, the online debate around the two strikers, and why it all probably doesn't matter until the final Premier League matchweek has concluded. Sham and Curran then move onto an analysis of Arsenal's last two transfer windows and how Liverpool's impending acquisition of Florian Wirtz makes the Gunners' lack of proper reinforcement even less forgivable, before finishing with statements on what the club need to accomplish this summer.
