The big season review podcast is here! Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we chat through the highs and lows of the season. Who was your player of the season, what was your goal or game of the season? Which moment sent you into a tailspin of despair, or sent you to that place where you felt anything was possible? What was your biggest complaint of the season? There is plenty to be cheerful about too - our young players, our defensive solidity and mental resilience. Our listeners also have their say on the season, likewise looking forward to a busy summer in the transfer market, ahead of the new season. There is also high praise for Arsenal women and their champions league success against Barcelona. And finally, we bid a fond farewell to Tierney, wishing him all the best as he returns home.

Finally, at the 4th time of asking, we managed to deservedly beat Newcastle. Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we focus on an impressive reaction to losing to PSG - 4 points from games against Liverpool and Newcastle speaks of superb resilience and offers plenty of hope for next season, provided those folk 'upstairs' do their job in the upcoming transfer window. The boys discuss the game itself, the lap of appreciation, an Emirates goodbye to Tierney and Jorginho and the post match speech from Arteta. We also touch on injuries, Isak, penalties, as well as looking ahead to the final game of the season on Sunday, away at Southampton, and a reunion with Ramsdale!

A very creditable 2-2 draw at Anfield. Mental strength and resilience to the fore. Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we look back on the game, some individual performances, not to mention some odd crowd behaviour from the locals. We also look ahead to the final home game of the season and the visit of Newcastle. Somewhat of our bogey team this season, wouldn't it be lovely to sign off with a win. But who have we got left to actually start the game? With a possible 9 first teamers missing, are we finally grateful for the plethora of left backs we have, as we could see as many as four of them play! There is also a little quiz - name the starting 11 for Arsene Wenger's final match as Arsenal manager, 7 years ago today.

Well that was a bit crap, wasn't it?! Familiar failings, but no faulting effort. Lack of a clinical finisher, luck, tired legs and minds, and we have to bow out of the tournament at the semi final stage. Join Holly and Stef as we explore how we feel the day after, proud of the effort, frustrated with the wider context. Has this season seen us progress, plateau or slide? It's not all about reflection though - we have the small matter of a trip to Anfield on Sunday, where we'll have to pick ourselves back up and go again. I'll be honest, our score predictions aren't looking too optimistic!

Well, that wasn't the best preparation for a Champions League semi final was it?! Join Holly and Stef as we try to work out why that last 30 minutes in particular was so bloody awful. Were minds, and bodies, already on the train to Paris? Do we now have a problem defending set pieces? Will it have any bearing on what happens on Wednesday? We talk about what we need to focus on ahead of the game, how we see the game playing out - one of us predicts a defeat, one a draw and the other a win, but we all opt for the same starting 11. Let's spend the next few days sending positive vibes to Arteta and the team - this season could still be one to remember!

Paris PainIt's half time in the champions league semi-final and it's still all to play for. Join Holly and Stef as they acknowledge the quality of the opposition, whilst simultaneously seeing the potential for glory in Paris. We discuss the team selection, the absence of Partey, the atmosphere, the tifo, the early goal and the reaction. Reasons to be positive include Partey's return, lessons learned from the first game and only the one goal deficit. We also take a little look ahead to the Bournemouth game on Saturday and the small matter of wrapping up champions league qualification for next year.

Palace blah blah, another draw blah blah, dropped points blah blah. Let's be honest, it's all about PSG on Tuesday - join Holly, Stef and Chris as we rather excitedly look ahead to only our 3rd ever champions league semi final. There are plenty of good omens, if you know where to look. Sure, it won't be easy, but we're off the back of a 5-1 demolition of Madrid, so we have every right to be confident. We discuss the build up, the atmosphere and the team. Just how big a miss will Partey be? Will Trossard deliver again? We even have a little quiz to keep you guessing over as well!

Arsenal demolish Ipswich at a canter. It's Crystal Palace next up on Wednesday. But all everybody is really thinking about is next Tuesday and PSG. Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we try (in vain) to push all thoughts of champions league glory to one side and focus on the efforts against Ipswich. There is praise for Merino, Martinelli, Trossard and Kiwior, less so for sections of the Ipswich fanbase. We explore what we think Arteta might do against Palace, with one of us hoping for the most non contact of games the premier league has ever known! 

With Holly in Ireland but out of Wifi range, it's over to Producer Chris and Stef on his return from Madrid, still very much buzzing and full of song, to relive the magic of our superb 2-1 win. We touch on all the main points of the game as well as what it means for us going forward.

There's also the small matter of Ipswich away in the PL and the need to pick up some points to secure 2nd place. We share our team and score predictions while furtively looking over our shoulders at the chasing pack...

As Holly heads off on his Easter hols, Stef & Chris are left to pick over the bones of the Brentford draw. Although the game didn't mean much in terms of the title (gone), it gave us a good idea of how we might shape up for the Real Madrid CL QF return leg on Wednesday...depending on who's fit.

Talking points include the Norgaard challenge and what constitutes a red card, Real's mind games and Stef's plans for Madrid.
