The Thing About Arsenal

As the week rolls on, the Man City scandal keeps getting worse and worse. Today, Shay is here, armed with his trusty whiteboard, to try to make sense of it all for Luke and Jonny.

The lads also assess how Man City’s charges affect the legacy of Arsène Wenger. Plus, Luke’s been on TikTok and bought a brand new prop for the studio.

Another game, another disappointing result. Laura and Rory are here to vent after another frustrating outing for Arsenal, this time against one of our biggest rivals, Chelsea.

Did Renée Slegers make the correct substitutions? What must we do differently against Paris FC in the UWCL? And is the game against Manchester City a possible season-decider already?

Laura, Luke and Jim convene for a bumper pod after a bumper weekend. Never thought we'd say that during an international break.

They dissect every headline and every angle after reports that Manchester City have been found guilty of all but one of the 115 charges against them. Why is it so different to Chelsea's breaches? What would happen if City get relegated? And how much has this all impacted Arsenal... and the Premier League as a whole?

We also allow ourselves to get seriously petty, and Jim has some choice words for Bernardo Silva after his disgraceful tackle on Martin Ødegaard.

Mikel Arteta has agreed a new deal. And blimey, we've come a long way since Mesut Özil's 'trust the process' tweet...

Luke and Jim are joined by an ex-Arsenal player, current Arsenal brain: Adrian Clarke! They discuss Arteta's tactical tweaks so far this season – and Kai Havertz's hamstring tweak last night. What patterns have we noticed so far? Have Brighton shown there's a method to beat us? And do Arsenal really lack pace up front? Adrian is sceptical. Come join us!

We hoped and we prayed it would be different this time but it was another WSL draw against Man United at the weekend. Today, Lucy and Rory are here to once again try to make sense of Arsenal’s attacking woes. Ugh.

But don’t worry, the football train stops for no one. We also take time to look ahead to the return of the Champions League tonight. Plus, anxiety is high as we face our old pals Chelsea this weekend.
