In this episode, Drew (⁠⁠@GeecheeKid⁠⁠ on Twitter/⁠⁠@supplyanddemandrew.bsky.social⁠⁠ on Bluesky), Jon (⁠⁠@305Cast⁠⁠/⁠⁠@yellowribbons.bsky.social⁠⁠), and Sham (⁠⁠@Shamsdale⁠⁠/⁠⁠@shamsdale.bsky.social⁠⁠) reflect on an absolutely magical night at the Emirates as Arsenal beat Real Madrid 3-0. First, they discuss the star of the match, Declan Rice; the guys wax poetic about both of his world class free kicks before asking the question of whether the Englishman should take over as Arsenal's dead ball specialist moving forward. They also take time to praise the performances of Myles Lewis-Skelly, Jurrien Timber, and Jakub Kiwior before giving their recommendations on the best gameplan for the away leg and allowing themselves to dream a little about perhaps finally winning the Champions League title.

In this episode, Drew (⁠⁠@GeecheeKid⁠⁠ on Twitter/⁠⁠@supplyanddemandrew.bsky.social⁠⁠ on Bluesky) and Sham (⁠⁠@Shamsdale⁠⁠/⁠⁠@shamsdale.bsky.social⁠⁠) chat one last time before the club season resumes. They begin by reacting to the news that Bukayo Saka is on the cusp of returning to action, and how much more optimistic that makes them feel about the rest of the season. They then discuss reports that Trent Alexander-Arnold is on the verge of joining Real Madrid on a free transfer from Liverpool, as well as Liverpool's handling of the contracts of Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, and how they would respond if Arsenal found themselves in a similar position. They then chat about the debate surrounding seemingly imminent arrival Martin Zubimendi before closing out with a quick preview of Tuesday's match against Fulham.

In this episode, Drew (⁠⁠@GeecheeKid⁠⁠ on Twitter/⁠⁠@supplyanddemandrew.bsky.social⁠⁠ on Bluesky) and Sham (⁠⁠@Shamsdale⁠⁠/⁠⁠@shamsdale.bsky.social⁠⁠) discuss an amazing first week of international duty for Myles Lewis-Skelly, including his debut goal, how he fits into Thomas Tuchel's England team, the differences between the new manager and Gareth Southgate, and expectations placed on Ethan Nwaneri.

In this episode, Drew (⁠⁠@GeecheeKid⁠⁠ on Twitter/⁠⁠@supplyanddemandrew.bsky.social⁠⁠ on Bluesky), Jon (⁠⁠@305Cast⁠⁠/⁠⁠@yellowribbons.bsky.social⁠⁠), and Sham (⁠⁠@Shamsdale⁠⁠/⁠⁠@shamsdale.bsky.social⁠⁠) go over Arsenal's 1-0 win against by giving their Risers and Fallers from the match. This leads to discussions regarding the impressive and disappointing performances from the match, Moise Caicedo's odd comment about Arsenal having played together for seven years, Myles Lewis-Skelly's England callup and the resulting instances of racism that been directed at the 18-year-old, whether Alexander Isak might be worth his eye-watering price tag, and the perhaps purposeful incompetence of Premier League referees.

In this episode, Drew (⁠⁠@GeecheeKid⁠⁠ on Twitter/⁠⁠@supplyanddemandrew.bsky.social⁠⁠ on Bluesky) and Sham (⁠⁠@Shamsdale⁠⁠/⁠⁠@shamsdale.bsky.social⁠⁠) try to find things to talk about regarding Arsenal's 2-2 dead rubber at home to PSV, including Raheem Sterling's performance, whether Oleksandr Zinchenko should be considered an option as one of the midfield eights, and whether Mikel Arteta could have experimented with a different option at center forward. Drew and Sham then turn to Arsenal's Champions League quarterfinal opponents: Real Madrid. They have a lengthy discuss about the various on-field matchups to consider, the lineups they would go with, and what this challenge offers an Arsenal side inexperienced in this stage of European competition. The guys close out by quickly previewing Chelsea's visit to the Emirates on Sunday.
