A 93rd minute equaliser against a major rival and we're still all feeling frustrated. A sign of how far we've come perhaps, but join Holly, Stef and Chris as we try to understand what made Arteta play so safe with his starting 11. We discuss Merino, Trossard, Eze, Martinelli, a City performance full of the dark arts and yet more injury woes. We also look at who might start against Port Vale on Wednesday. Enjoy!

So that's the Champions League up and running and we're off to the ideal start. Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we look back at a hard fought, but deserved 2-0 win in Spain. We focus on Martinelli, Trossard, squad depth, a defensive master class and the wider experience of the occasion itself.

We then look ahead to City on Sunday. Which City will turn up? Will Arteta let the handbrake off a little, or will it be a 'keep it tight' game to begin with? Who would you select on the left, and who comes in for Odegaard? Enjoy and share!

Scintillating. Dominant. Comfortable. How would you describe our three nil win over Forest on Saturday? Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we purr over what was an excellent team performance from the first minute to the last. We discuss the atmosphere, the goals, the individual performances, as well as the collective. Who was your man of the match?

We also look ahead to the start of this season's champions league and a tricky away tie at Athletic Bilbao on Tuesday - we predict starting lineups and score lines. Safe to say we're all feeling rather confident. Enjoy and share!

International break is over and  Big Ange is on the horizon. Proper football is back. Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we look forward to Forest at the carpet for the Saturday lunchtime kick off. Will we get back to winning ways? Who plays on the left? We also dig a little deeper into the idea of Arteta as a conservative manager, plus take a look back at the Arsenal players who performed well for their countries over the last week or so.

And finally, can you name 5 of the 14 players to have played for both Arsenal and Forest in the Premier league era? Enjoy!

What else are we supposed to do during the International break?

Holly and Stef pit themselves against Tabs and Jamie from The Grove Podcast.

Each team sets the other questions about all things Arsenal. You can expect:

🥅Who scored the winner?

⚽️Guess the player?

📈Top 5s?

↖️Scores in the North West?

🇬🇧Scores in London?

👬Name the XI

It's Pod v Pod. Who will come out in top? And who'll get booked for time-wasting?

A frustrating result at Anfield and an exciting transfer window comes to an end. Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we attempt to process our feelings of frustration and disappointment at the performance and result against Liverpool. Was it a missed opportunity? Who or what was to blame for the defeat? Could Arteta have played his hand any differently? Has this defeat taught us anything about the rest of the season? Are you happy with 6 points from the opening 9? We also rate Arsenal's transfer window - ins very good, outs less so. Though at time of recording we did miss Zinchenko's last minute switch to Forest - good luck Zinny!

Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we look ahead to our trip to Anfield on Sunday. How are we all feeling about it? Is this a good time to travel there, with Liverpool's defence looking a bit shaky in their opening two games? We discuss who we think should get the nod - will Madueke start in place of Saka, will Eze get a full debut, or will he have to settle for a place on the bench? Does Martinelli's defensive work get him in on the left? Who starts at left back? We also run through what we think will happen in the remaining days of the transfer window. We even manage to squeeze in a little laugh at United, despite the recording finishing long before their penalty shoot out loss to Grimsby. There's the usual quiz stuff as well. Enjoy.

That didn't disappoint. Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we reflect on the first home game of the season.

Lots to discuss, including Eze, Madueke, Gyokeres, injuries, Martinelli, scoring five and, of course, Max Dowman.

Well that escalated quickly. Despair on Tuesday to delirium on Wednesday - the life of the football fan. We rather excitedly attempt to digest the news that Eze will be joining as our 7th summer signing, whilst also turning our attention to the first game of the season at The Emirates, the visit of Leeds.

Will Eze sign in time to make the bench, or will we have to 'settle' for a half time introduction? Is this the funniest hijack signing of recent history? Where does it rank in the pantheon of favourite all time signings - Ozil, Petit, Sol etc? Will Spurs ever recover? We also predict teams and scores for the actual football, and there is the return of the much-loved quiz. Enjoy.

'One nil to the Arsenal, one nil to the Arsenal...'

Join Holly and Stef as we look back at our opening day win at Old Trafford. Great result, poor performance. Is it a performance to worry about though? Should we credit United for making our lives difficult? Are we simply bedding in new players and new systems? Or is it too reminiscent of last season's issues? We focus on the new players, along with the likes of Raya, Rice and Martinelli. Also, look out for the rather unconventional guest appearance of my mate, the Spurs fan.
