This Week In Arsenal, Sash (@ltarsenal on Twitter) and Sham (@Shamsdale) get together to discuss Arsenal's 5-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace. But first, they cover the big news from the day: Jurgen Klopp's announcement that he is leaving Liverpool at the end of the season. Sash and Sham go over how Klopp's departure will affect the league as well as Arsenal's future chances of competing. They then chat about the Palace match, particularly with the backdrop of the open play xG conversation that has been raging on socials. The duo explain their reasons for optimism and doubt and attempt to contextualize the stats being thrown around. They then discuss why the Palace match wasn't too convincing on that front before moving on to the return of Thomas Partey and what the team can achieve with him, as well as the potential for Emile Smith Rowe to break into the side again.

This Week In Arsenal, Sash (@ltarsenal on Twitter) and Sham (@Shamsdale) are joined by illustrious guest Eduardo Hagn (@EduardoHagn) to discuss all things Arsenal transfers. However, the trio begin by giving their thoughts on a scandal of global importance: Mikel Arteta dining at Salt Bae's restaurant. From there Sash, Sham, and Eduardo talk about Ivan Toney's strong links to Arsenal, how they would feel about that signing, and their preferred CF targets. They also examine Arsenal's inability to sell players and their struggles in loaning out academy talents the way Chelsea and Manchester City do. After that, the three discuss potential non-CF signings Arsenal could make and what each think the most likely acquisition is before giving their thoughts on what could happen this month and whether Edu is enough of a needle-mover as sporting director.

This Week In Arsenal, Sham (@Shamsdale on Twitter) hosts illustrious guests Curran (@CurranBoP) and Matt (@mattjafc) to discuss Arsenal's unnecessarily thrilling comeback win at Luton Town. The trio first take on the chore of once again discussing poor refereeing, from the official allowing Luton to kick their way into competing and Mikel Arteta's ridiculous yellow card that sees him banned from the touchline at Villa Park. They then discuss David Raya's poor performance and the state of the keeper situation at Arsenal before moving on to any other factors that allowed Luton into the match. After that comes some analysis on Kai Havertz's performance, recent renaissance, and how he contributed off the ball to Arsenal's attacking success. Sham, Curran, and Matt then tackle the difficult task of finding novel ways to describe how great matchwinner Declan Rice has been since joining the club before ending with a chat regarding Arsenal's needs in January and links to Joao Palhinha.

This Week In Arsenal, Sash (@ltarsenal on Twitter) and Sham (@Shamsdale) reunite to discuss the Gunners' first two matches after the international break, which have seen them go top of the Premier League and their Champions League group. The guys first address Kai Havertz's recent spark of form and contemplate whether enough patience was shown to him (and David Raya) by the fanbase. They then highlight the odd question Thomas Frank was asked regarding Arsenal celebrating their winner as well as recent treatment of the club by English media. Following that, Sash and Sham move on to the Lens match, zeroing in on the performance of Takehiro Tomiyasu, the factors behind Bukayo Saka's and Gabriel Martinelli's excellent debut Champions League campaigns, whether Arsenal really have sacrificed attacking prowess for defensive solidity, and whether Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly should have played. They close things out by discussing the Victor Osimhen links and which position Arsenal should look to strengthen in January.

This Week In Arsenal, Sash (@ltarsenal on Twitter) and Sham (@Shamsdale) get together to discuss Arsenal's 3-1 win over Burnley. The two start by breaking down why Leandro Trossard and Bukayo Saka have been so effective together, and whether that warrants Trossard starting at CF until Gabriel Jesus returns. They then move on to a quick discussion of what Havertz's best position looks to be in this side before analyzing David Raya's performance and what his status as starter might mean for Aaron Ramsdale in the long-term. After that, the duo praise another duo in Oleksandr Zinchenko and Jorginho before playing a lightning round game of "Would You Rather" involving William Saliba and 25 other center backs.
