Plus we discuss how the team will be taking the rest of the season, the amount of winners that there are on the pitch, and the way we'd like the international break to go.

Sunday was also a day for Jesus… as our brilliant Brazilian Gabriel returned from his three month layoff.
The boys discuss the seemingly sudden strength in depth we have in attack after worrying about it for most of the season.

With the Europa League back in action Mikel Arteta rung the changes and it showed on the pitch, but with some positives along the way.

The celebration police are back on our tails following the scenes at the end of the Bournemouth victory so we ask whether we are getting a little ahead of ourselves.
And we talk Fulham on Sunday, Cesc returning to the U18s, and the impending return of Gabriel Jesus.

Ian Stone is joined by Amy Lawrence and Art de Roche to take a wide angled lens on the squad, the current perception of the owners, and look abroad to young striker Flo Balogun as he continues to top the french scoring charts.
With the fringe players of Arsenal's squad making their impact on games we discuss how significant certain players are, what Vieira's role could be, and whether it's right to over analyse Kieran Tierney's body language.
With the government white paper due out on Thursday we look at some it's findings and ask if it's time to reassess opinion on the Kroenkes, especially in light of the football clubs that are for sale at the time being.
And Art tells us more about how Flo Balogun is doing in Ligue Un.

Ian Stone is joined by Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke to discuss the emotional rollercoaster win that was Aston Villa 2 Arsenal 4.
Enjoy reliving every key moment of that game from the terrible first half, to Jorginho's moment of truth, to the poetic justice the footballing gods served up at the end with Emi Martinez heading the ball into his own net.
We ask if this is the perfect way to win? Why Zinchenko didn't celebrate his equaliser? And what is the bare minimum requirement from the next block of games?
All that plus wonderful moments of karma from down the years too.

Watching a pre season game the summer we signed Overmars. At one point the commentator used the line "Bergkamp to Overmars" and I just realised that we were on a journey that wasn't like anything I'd ever seen as an Arsenal fan. Sat back with a satisfied smile and enjoyed the next ten years.
