The Thing About Arsenal

Two games to go. Jim, Jonny and Rory are here to reflect on the gravity of that feeling and loads of others besides, some of which may still relate to VAR and the swirling conspiracy theories.

We preview Burnley on Monday night and the importance of goal difference in this game, while there's a slightly unwelcome trip down memory lane to revisit the last time Burnley beat us (dark times). Plus, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang goes on a rampage with a fire extinguisher, Ian Wright gets the biopic we've all been waiting for, and it's one of our favourite days of the year: kit launch day. Find out our verdict on that and loads more!

We knew it was coming, but nothing could prepare us for that exit video...

First things first on today’s show - Laura and Rory take a look back at Beth Mead’s time at Arsenal, from her heartbreaking ACL injury to that pass in the Champions League final. If anyone deserves to be called a legend, it’s her.

In happier news, it looks like Arsenal are getting their business done early and might be signing a goalscoring Gooner. Plus, Alessia Russo inspires an earnest conversation about napping and we look ahead to the final games of the WSL season.

Call a tattoo artist, we need to get booked in for our David Raya tattoos. Today, Laura, Luke and Jonny gather to relive another painful yet joyous weekend for Arsenal.

We weigh in on the ongoing VAR debate. Plus, Laura asks, in hindsight, was this result more fun than a 5-0 romp? And once we get all that out of the way, we celebrate the most important event of the weekend, Win the Dog’s birthday!

If you thought watching that game was nerve-wracking, try doing it AT West Ham. In the home end.

Lucy and Rory are almost (but fortunately not totally) speechless after one of the most dramatic games of Arsenal's season.

We unpack it all: the VAR decision that saw Callum Wilson's equaliser ruled out, David Raya's extraordinary composure to save from Mateus Fernandes, and the equally extraordinary assist from Martin Ødegaard. But we're still trying to figure out why Declan Rice went to right-back...

Even after reaching the actual Champions League final, people are still trying to bring us down. Unfortunately for the haters, they're going to have to sit this one out. We're going to celebrate, and keep on celebrating until we can't no more.

The three Ls of Laura, Lucy and Luke are here to reflect on a week that just got better and better. Plus, we look ahead to the weekend as Arsenal take the Mildmay Line across London to our noisy neighbours West Ham.
