  • Great pod

    Being physically away from my beloved club and other fans, this is the place that gives me a real sense that I am part of the Arsenal family. Great hosts. Thank you all for being funny even during the hard times.

  • Fills my Arsenal needs

    The thing about Arsenal team getting a pod out a few hours after a game at the weekend has to be massive ratings boost.

    There are soo many football podcasts the day after, getting some immediate extra post game content is brilliant.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Preview Show: One last push
Q: How do you see this playing out between Arsenal and PSG?
The guest predicts a closely fought final, with Arsenal having a chance if midfield control and momentum moments are capitalized on, possibly extending to extra time, but ultimately leaning slightly toward PSG due to freshness and balance.
About AWFC: Don’t overthink it
Q: What has driven Arsenal's improved form in the run-in to the season?
Improved defensive organization, brave managerial decisions, and a string of decisive results against top teams have built confidence; plus not overanalyzing problems due to the crowded schedule helped maintain momentum.
Chelsea 2-3 Arsenal: Viktorious
Q: Do you think that it was more Chelsea forced their way back in or we let them back in?
We let them back in a lot of the time. It was both times. It was that was like the old arsenal.
