How do you rate our transfer business so far? A slow start, or actually pretty decent? Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we discuss the likely arrivals of Zubimendi, Kepa and Norgaard and look at what else we might do. We also predict our starting 11s for the opening game at Old Trafford, and calculate how many points we'd like to get from the opening 6 games.

There is also talk of rotation, injury and strange encounters on Holloway Road.

In this episode Stef chats to comic and co-host of the hugely popular Screenrot podcast, Jacob Hawley about: liking not being liked as an Arsenal fan, having Ally McCoist commentate a 5-a-side game he played in and buying a TV just to watch Rice's free-kicks against Madrid.

In this episode Stef chats to rising comic, Alfie Dundas about: how devout he is towards Arsenal and Arteta, how his life as an Arsenal fan began with a chance encounter with an Invincible and some of the highs and lows he's had as an Arsenal season ticket holder for the last decade.

Would you rather lose Saka and win the league, or keep Saka and finish second? Would you rather 3 new signings - Sesko, Sane, Rogers - or every member of the current squad to remain fit for the entirety of the season? Would you rather have dinner with Saka, or have Kiwior build a shed?

Join Holly, Stef and Chris for a highly enjoyable and contentious 'would you rather' epsiode. There is also plenty of transfer chat to kick us off at the start.

Join Holly, Stef and Chris* as we go through each member of the current squad and assess their place moving forwards. Would you keep or sell Kiwior? What about Zinchenko or Trossard? Will Martinelli and Havertz be starting our first game next season? We also have Jeorge Bird who provides a run down on players from the academy we should be looking out for next season. But be warned, we do spend the first 7 minutes discussing the transfer market!

*viewers of the video version will notice a video/audio sync issue on Producer Chris. Apologies!

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!
