To distract us from the tedium of another international break, we invited questions from our listeners. And boy, did they deliver.

Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we ponder a season's best premier league 11 of non-Arsenal players, Arteta's approach to the low block, treating Fulham and Everton as if they're Real Madrid, whether or not there's a price high enough to accept for selling Gabriel and how many Liverpool players get into the Arsenal team, assuming everyone is fit. And finally, there's a lot of love for Lewis-Skelly.

After sending Chelsea packing with comparative ease, we enter into another international break. Join Holly and Stef as we look back on Sunday's game. When did Chelsea become so bad? So much money spent, so little to show for it. We highlight Merino's contribution, praise Martinelli and the defence. We also run through who's off with their countries - at least we don't have to worry about too many strikers coming back broken! The League Cup final, the upcoming St Totteringham's day and Saka's return all get some attention as well.

All the talk is about the Real Madrid quarter final, but there's the none too small matter of Chelsea at the Emirates on Sunday to discuss. Join Holly and Esteban (Stef) as we look ahead to a hugely important game in terms of securing our top 4 berth. Who gets the nod in midfield and up front? Does Martinelli start through the middle? Who gets the nod at left back? Thoughts return to the champions league where we debate whether Real or Atletico would have suited our current team's strengths/weaknesses the most, and applaud performances of some of the second string against PSV. And finally, we have the return of the quiz to get you all thinking!

Another disappointing result and performance, this time in the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford. Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we try to work out whether it's a personnel problem or a systemic one. Positives include the Martinelli return, Rice and Raya. Negatives too numerous to mention. We also talk about waning defensive solidity, Arteta, Andrea Berta and PSV.  And Holly doesn't disappoint on the stat front.

Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we try to work out just how we managed to score 7 (seven) goals away at PSV. We run through a whole host of records that were smashed. Holly even predicts a chance to avenge the 2006 final loss against Barcelona, such is the unfettered joy in this pod! We also turn our attention to the small matter of Sunday's visit to Old Trafford. Will it be goals goals goals, or, more likely, a narrow, tight affair? Who gets the nod in midfield and up front, and how will United approach the game? Plenty to ponder.

The league season is over and we've just entered March. Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we debate where it all went wrong for us. Is it the player, the manager, the board, or what about the refereeing or injuries? We also look ahead to PSV and wonder where the goals are coming from. Calafiori in the middle, Tierney out wide? Or opt for Sterling and hope for the best!

Will we ever score again? At least we didn't lose 3-0 eh! Join Holly and Stef as we attempt to analyse a game that has quickly become irrelevant. We discuss the team selection - was there much different that Arteta could have done? Could Ben White have started, or Sterling (stop laughing at the back!)? Where do we go from here? Are we going to have to get used to this for the next few weeks?

Our title bid, such as it was, went the same way as West Ham's hopes today (fade and die). Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we pick the bones off that particular carcass. We trace today's defeat back to a missed opportunity in the summer transfer market, compounded by further negligence in the January window. Players running on fumes, with no support off the bench to make any meaningful impact. Where does the blame lie? Individual players? Arteta? The board? We also briefly look ahead to Forest on Wednesday.

Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we get rather excited, reacting in real time to the Liverpool draw at Villa.

Eight points behind with a game in hand - we couldn't, could we? With that in mind we look back at what worked well against Leicester - in particular, Nwaneri and Merino, along with the defence. We also look ahead to West Ham at the weekend. Should Merino start up front? Should Sterling get another opportunity? Will White see some minutes, and who gets the nod at left back? Brentford, Biereth, Rwanda and Chris' punctuality (or lack thereof) also get a mention.

Join Holly and Chris as we ponder what might have been. Who is to blame for our current plight? Poor squad management, or simply bad luck with injuries? Is the season over, or have the wheels started to come off for Liverpool - dropped points and red cards galore! We look ahead to the Leicester game - not the most difficult team selection we've ever been tasked with predicting, but what formation will he adopt? Our 10 game winning streak must start on Saturday!

We'll also have a go at predicting win, lose or draw for all of our remaining games (as well as Liverpool's) and see where that leaves us...
