Not quite the perfect start to the season, but 7 wins out of 8 isn't exactly a disaster. Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we look back at the Brighton game and assess the current state of play at the top of the Premier League. What lessons should Arteta learn from the Brighton defeat, is our summer transfer business coming home to roost now and should we be concerned about our lack of threat from set pieces so far this season? We explore these questions, plus much more. Please enjoy, like, share etc. COYG!

Brighton 3 Arsenal 0. What can you say about that? We have a reaction from the ground from Stef, who beats a philosophical drum, whilst Holly and Chris provide some further reaction back home to our first defeat of the season.

Please 'enjoy' like, share etc. It could be worse, we could be Spurs, or Chelsea. COYG!

Seven wins from seven games to start the season. Not bad. The latest saw us cruise past Ipswich 4-2 in the League Cup. Some great performances to whet the appetite, notably from the two youngsters Dowman and Salmon, but also Zubimendi, Madueke and Merino. Less impressive performers also come in for some examination. Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we look back in more detail at that game, whilst also casting our eyes forward to Brighton away at the weekend. A tricky ground to visit, even more so as Brighton are top scorers this season so far. Will Hurzeler get under our skin again or will we continue our perfect start to the season? Please enjoy, like, share, etc. COYG!

The perfect start to the season continues with a hard fought win away to Sunderland. It wasn't without incident though, and, despite the narrative, we won it despite the referee, not because of him.

Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we look back at all the key decisions, laud Raya's penalty save, wonder if we've seen a better first goal for an Arsenal player than Bruno G's and ultimately applaud the effort, resilience, skill and determination of the entire team. There's also a look ahead to the Ipswich game in the League Cup. Other topics include refereeing standards, VAR incompetence and laughing at Spurs. Please enjoy, like, share, etc. COYG!

Well that wasn't easy, was it? Enjoy Stef at the ground and Holly at home for this instant reaction to our away win at Sunderland. Say, we are top of the league, say we are top of the league...

Our superb start to the season continued with as convincing a 1-0 win as you are ever likely to witness. This team continues to impress and entertain in equal measure. Join Holly and Stef as we pore over the many individual performances in Naples, from Odegaard to Konsa, Saka, White and Rice.

We also look ahead to another tricky away game in Sunderland on Saturday evening, where the rest of the league will be praying for a repeat of last season's dropped points. Who makes your starting 11, who plays on the left, will we see the immediate return of Calafiori and Tzolis? Will Odegaard maintain his level of performance? Will our finishing be a little more accurate than on Wednesday? Please enjoy, like, share etc. COYG!

Well this was a joyous podcast to record! A dominant 2-1 victory over Chelsea, men against boys as described in some circles, leaves us with maximum points from our opening three games. Is there something inevitable about Arsenal this season as that's three very different victories thus far? Join Holly, Sted and Chris as we explore all that went right, from the reaction to conceding so early, the energy, the fluency, the control, the scintillating atmosphere. Who was your man of the match, what was your moment of the match, are we relying too heavily on open play goals now ;) ? We also look ahead to Napoli away on Wednesday and wonder what Arteta will do with his starting eleven selection - should he rotate heavily or go strong and just focus on one game at a time? Please enjoy, like, share etc. London is Red. COYG!

With all three of us at the game, it's Producer Chris who raced home to put this pod together after a breathless, tense and hard-earned 2-1 victory over Chelsea.

Hear Stef & Holly's thoughts from the Emirates as Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard's strikes (both from open play) ultimately clinched three vital points.

Join us for the next pod too, in which we'll go into more detail on this game and look ahead to our first CL game - away to Napoli on Wednesday.

Enjoy, share, rate and of course...UP THE GUNNERS!

The first big six clash of the season for us at the weekend as we welcome Chelsea to The Emirates. With arguably the most potent attack up against the stingiest defence, who will come out on top? Us, obviously.

Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we highlight their strengths, but also their weaknesses, and explore how we may be victorious. We also summarise our views on the transfer window, for us, and our rivals. And finally, we bid Martinelli goodbye, wishing him all the very best for the future. Once a Gooner, always a Gooner.

So the transfer window slammed shut and we are left without that ceiling raiser in attack. But should that cloud a window in which we reinforced in defence and in midfield with real high quality experienced players? Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we examine our window in more depth, attempting to calm the nerves and keep things positive. We also look back at our 1-0 victory at Villa Park, a brilliant result from a familiar performance perhaps? There is praise for Calafiori, Rice, Saka, Eze and Bruno G, with some criticism of an attack that failed to click into gear. Please enjoy, like, share etc. COYG!
