Happy New Season everybody! Join Holly and Stef for our first match preview of the season, and it's a corker! We look ahead to one of THE fixtures each season, away at United, on Sunday. What sort of mood will United be in? Will it reflect their 17th position from last season or renewed hope after spending over £200m on a brand new front line? What team will Arteta go for? Will it be Timber or White, Calafiori or Lewis Skelly? Martinelli or Madueke on the left? Isn't it great to have so many exciting options! Who will come out on top in the battle of the strikers? We also take a little look at the latest from the transfer window, and conclude with a shocking prediction from Stef.

The North Bank. An Arsenal Podcast.

Produced by The Podcast Company.

It's finally here - 77 long days since the final games of last season were played, we can finally look forward to the start of the new season next/this weekend. Anything is possible, the quadruple, finishing 8th, and anything in between.

Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we look, excitedly, ahead to the new season and what it may hold. There is genuine excitement at our new signings, at overcoming our difficult start, at finally getting over the line for a trophy.

We predict our player, signing and young player of the season. We map out what a successful season would look like - we don't all agree. There is a lot of love for the third kit release, and look out for a bold Max Dowman prediction!

The North Bank. An Arsenal Podcast.

Produced by The Podcast Company.

Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we bask in the glory of the Lionesses' success at the Euros, where Arsenal basically won the tournament for us. We also assess our first two pre-season games - notable mentions go to Zubimendi, Havertz and of course, Max Dowman. We also cast a cursory glance at what our rivals are doing in the transfer window, where it appears Liverpool can do no wrong at the moment. And finally, for a bit of fun, we each predict the starting line up for our season opener at Old Trafford.

Introducing The North Bank Picks... where we sit down to select an Arsenal XI based on a particular topic.

Today, Holly and Stef walked down memory lane to choose "The Ultimate... oh yeah, they DID play for Arsenal XI."

Think players synonymous more with other clubs, players who came in on loan to varying degrees of success and youth players who went on to bigger and better.

*Must not turn into a Chelsea Reject XI.

Berta certainly isn't hanging around, is he?! We could have as many as six (6) new signings in the door ahead of our pre-season tour. Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we run the rule over the super six so far; we also explore who may be sold to generate some cash. There is also discussion of the reaction to the Madueke signing, the training camp in Spain and Norgaard's heartwarming moment with his son. And finally, there's a little quiz to round things off with.

In this episode Holly chats to co-host of The Same Old Arsenal podcast, Amanda about her life as an Arsenal fan.

There's a wonderful recounting of that game at Anfield in 1989 - the buildup, the ground, the game, the journey home which included the congo at a service station and Nigel Winterburn celebrating with the actual trophy on the team bus.

Amanda has such a rich backlog of Arsenal related stories, we barely scratched the surface. Enjoy!
