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!

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!

It's Aston Villa away on Monday night for us in this round of fixtures. Not a happy hunting ground recently, with two defeats in our last two visits. But is this a good time to meet them? Rogers, Konsa, Watkins gone or going, injuries and suspensions to several other key players and only a few lesser lights in through the door thus far. Join Holly and Stef as we examine likely line-ups for both teams, with a score prediction thrown in as well. We also dip into the transfer market and champions league for your entertainment. Please enjoy, like, share, etc. Thank you. COYG!

Our first Premier League review of the season, and what better way to start than with a comfortable 3-0 home win! We discuss; team selection, which players impressed, the atmosphere, and lessons learned . We also cast our thoughts over the other big 6 games of the weekend. Who has come out of the opening round of fixtures as our main rival, and what might the remainder of the transfer window hold for these clubs? Will we be active, is Martinelli on his way, will Alvarez be convinced by our project? Join Holly and Stef as we tackle all this, and more! Please enjoy, like, share etc. COYG!

We begin the 'attack' of our Premier League title with a comfortable 3-0 home win v Coventry.

Stef and Holly were at the Emirates to witness the game and soak up the vibes of our first home game since winning the title.

Some very impressive performances, not least the collective efforts of Saka, Odegaard and Havertz who all started and all scored.

There will be a full review pod to follow so please get your comments in via the socials or Patreon to give the lads more to talk about!
