Ep. 251 - Pre-season kicks off! Plus transfer gossip!
Welcome to our first proper live show where we talk all things Arsenal transfers and pre-season so far. We discuss both confirmed and rumoured incomings, and whether or not we are currently stronger than when we finished last season. If we are to sell 4 more players, who should they be? Is there a price at which you'd entertain the sale of Lewis-Skelly? If not Vinicius Junior, then who? Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we tackle these questions, and many more. Please enjoy, like, share etc. Thank you.

Ep. 248 - Let Transfer Season Begin!
Let the transfer window commence. I know I know, it's already started for most clubs, but we've been busy doing all our work behind the scenes and I'm confident the dominoes will begin to fall any day now. Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we mull over possible signings and departures. We attempt to explain why we are so poor at selling, especially when compared to our rivals - but does this even matter? We also look back at the closing weekend of the world cup and wonder what might have been. Plaudits for Saka, scorn for Argentina. Please enjoy, like, share etc. Thank you! COYG.

Ep. 247 - Even More World Cup and Transfers
With the World Cup drawing to a rather painful close, we look back at England's exit to Argentina and wonder what we could have done differently. Concerns obviously over the fitness of Rice and Saka, along with the news of Saliba's lengthy absence adding to our pre-season concerns. With that in mind we also look at potential incomings, including the arrival of Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge for £34m, replacing the Besiktas-bound Trossard. Will we now push ahead with attempts to sign Rogers, Barcola, Bruno G? Please enjoy, like, share etc. COYG! NEW!

Ep. 245 - More World Cup and Transfers
The transfer window. With the rumour mill in full swing, we delve into the players we'd most like to see rock up at Arsenal. We debate whether we'd prefer Rogers or Barcola. Is there a price too high for Bruno Guimaraes? Would you be happy if we ended up with 2 of those three, would they move the needle enough for you, or would you want further reinforcements? Who will we definitely sell? Trossard, Martinelli, Norgaard, would you accept a silly offer for one of our bigger players, Odegaard for example? We chat through all this, and much more.

Ep. 244 - Arsenal's Beloved XI
We've had the traitors eleven, now for the beloved eleven. Which players from our past have you enjoyed the most? Not the best, but perhaps ones that didn't quite live up to their potential, or that understood what being a Gooner meant and developed a cult following as a result. Perhaps even a player who meant something to you personally, or who entertained as much off the field as on it. Are there any players who won you over, or who you missed greatly once they left? Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we attempt to arrive at 11 of these beloved players from our past. Please enjoy, like, share etc. COYG! NEW!

Ep. 243 - Transfers, World Cup and your Questions
A cracking show for you today! We discuss the World Cup and our personal highlights after the first round of games, many of which aren't actually from the field of play. We then take on the summer transfer window and map out the players we'd like to arrive, the players we think we'll get and finally, the players we feel may end up departing. Some listener questions are also tackled, in particular a look back at players who have failed to live up to their initial hype or potential. I'll leave you with a teaser - who was Arsenal's first goal scorer at a World Cup tournament? Please enjoy, like, share etc. COYG! NEW!

Ep. 242 - Arsenal Traitors
The traitors edition. Which player broke your heart when they left? Who angered you? Who were you just disappointed with? Has time healed these wounds, or are they still festering away below the surface? Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we pick at these old traumas in an effort to gain some catharsis, to varying degrees of success. We then attempt to arrive at 'traitors 11'.

Ep. 241 - Keep, Bench or Sell?
Keep, Bench or Sell? We ruthlessly (or not, as the case may be) go through the squad, stating the case to either sell, keep or bench each member, with a view to making room for new arrivals and making us even better next season. There are some tough conversations to have about certain players. Can we keep relying on players whose bodies keep breaking down, is this the time to sell Odegaard, or Martinelli, is there a price at which you would cash in on Calafiori, and what do we do with the returning Nwaneri?

Next season, if you could only win one of the Premier League or the Champions League, which would it be? What did this season's title win mean to you, how did it make you feel?

Ep. 239 - Champions League Final and Parade Review
What a two weeks that has been - from Bournemouth taking points off City, a hundred thousand fans descending on the Emirates for a midweek party, to Palace away and the trophy lift, to Budapest and the heartbreak of a penalty defeat, to the biggest football gathering this country has ever seen in Islington on Sunday. No wonder I feel like a spent force. So, how do we rate this season overall? How proud are we of our team, and supporters?

Champions League Final: PSG 1 Arsenal 1 (4-3 pens) - INSTANT REACTION!
A quick reflection on our disappointing defeat to PSG in the Champions League Final. Holly was at the Emirates, while Stef was at the game in Budapest (but unable to send a video message!). Hard to be upbeat right now, but when we've had time to reflect I hope we'll agree this has been a successful season overall and we have plenty to celebrate.

Ep. 238 - Champions League Final Preview
One more game to go - the Champions League final in Budapest against PSG. With the league title already in the trophy cabinet, we stand on the edge of greatness ahead of this game. One more win this season could see us achieve something no previous iteration of Arsenal has ever managed. One. More. Win. Sounds easy doesn't it? Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we explore ways in which we think we can achieve this - who plays at right back, on the left and in midfield? Arteta has a few decisions to make, but whoever he selects I am confident we can achieve the win. Please enjoy, like, share etc. Thank you! COYG.

With one more league game to play, and the pressure off, join Holly, Stef and Chris as we take a joyous look back at everything that has happened since Tuesday night - the organic gathering at the Emirates, the celebrations from around the world, the team's celebrations, Arteta's very relatable fan-like approach to the City game (ie, he couldn't watch it) and the very touching account of his family's reaction to the final whistle and all that meant, plus the endless stream of content on social media that has kept us all entertained since then.
