  • Great podcast

    Hi there. Great podcast and can’t wait to listen to more. Been listening for about 5 years so amazing to win the premier league while listening to you. Pedro has sorted his mic out which is great for my ears at the start of the pod haha.

  • Decent pod but…

    Unnecessarily raining on Wenger, saying he stayed 8 years too long. Give it a rest, you don’t know how lucky we were to have him.

  • Great dose of Arsenal positivity

    Johnny can be a bit OTT (though great on predictions) but Pedro and Matt are top quality podcasters. Funny, knowledgeable and always entertaining. Addictive for Gooners

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ARSENAL ROBBED AT AWARDS! WHAT WENT WRONG?
Q: Does Martin Zubimendi's reduced playing time suggest Arsenal should prepare for a January sale?
Jacob believes Zubimendi's style overlaps with Rice and Ødegaard and has not fit the midfield well. He recommends selling him while his market value remains high if he is not going to play regularly.
ARSENAL ROBBED AT AWARDS! WHAT WENT WRONG?
Q: Is Arteta trying to get more out of the attack, or is Arsenal's success partly built on being a low-risk team?
Jacob says the team's system and defensive approach have been highly effective, while the striker position remains difficult in Arteta's setup. He questions whether Gyökeres can consistently create shots and suggests the team needs to rebuild his confidence.
THERAPY SESSION | BIG VIK TROUBLES? | @LATTEFIRM CROSSOVER
Q: What do we make a Victor? Why isn't it getting better? Or maybe you think he's just a misunderstood man.
FK says Gyökeres is struggling to connect with Arsenal's style, which leaves little space for his runs and demands link-up skills that are not his strength. He remains concerned but believes confidence and a goal could help, and says Arsenal must find a way to use him.
THERAPY SESSION | BIG VIK TROUBLES? | @LATTEFIRM CROSSOVER
Q: I wanted to know what your feelings on Arsenal style this season has been. Do you feel that there is a new Arsenal? Is this Arsenal with players back?
FK says Arsenal's attack has become more confident and expressive, with 20 of 21 goals coming from open play. He credits returning players, a settled squad and reduced pressure after winning the title rather than a deliberate tactical shift.
ARSENAL SNEAK A WIN, WHY IS ATTACK SO BAD?
Q: Does Arteta deserve better or is Arteta part of this problem?
Jacob Hawley says Arsenal's attack needs transfer-window changes, including a winger and a number nine, while questioning why previous transfer windows have not resolved the problem.
