Remember last season at Nottingham Forest? Yeah, but those days are long behind us. Aren't they?

Luke, Jim and Jonny discuss Sunday's examination in the Midlands and reflect on Mikel Merino's remarkable piece with the Player's Tribune – and even more remarkable red mobility scooter. Yes that's right, red.

We also discuss the proposed 60 job cuts at the club and what it says about the ownership, the meaning of 'community', and what we want Arsenal to be.

Seven minutes of beautiful carnage, that's all it took in the end. Jim was there to see it all inside the Emirates! He sits down with Jonny post-match to relive a performance that went from stodgy to magnetic very, very quickly.

They discuss Mikel Arteta's rotated lineup, Bukayo Saka's remarkable cameo, and Jurrien Timber becoming prime Dennis Bergkamp. Or Romario. We can't decide on the two.

We’ve had a week off to touch some grass, take a deep breath, and try to recover from the Arsenal-induced misery… but the Sunday scaries are back.

Laura and Rory return to ask the big questions: how will Renée Slegers change the story? Are the players still playing for her? And could some of our players bring their prolific international form back to N7? We also turn our attention to Birmingham City. Please, Arsenal. We’re begging you. Just win.

Well one part of the Red Cartel held up their part of the bargain. Laura, Jonny and Jim discuss the fallout from our increasingly impressive-looking win against Leeds and our increasingly concerning cool down afterwards that's left both Piero Hincapié and Martín Zubimendi injured.

Elsewhere, we thank the Fix It Crew for their service, including guest star Bruno Guimarães, and Jim tells us about the time he got looksmogged interviewing Olivier Giroud ahead of his return to the Emirates tomorrow night.

After 34 days, Arsenal were back at the Emirates. Laura and Jim are here straight after full time to react to a real champions victory at home to Leeds, or to give them their new name, Beeds.

Today we celebrate Arsenal's ability to turn an average performance into a crucial one. Plus, we’ve got a lot of love for that beautiful Italian!

For the first time in 21 days, Arsenal's men's team will play a game of football tomorrow. And my word it feels good. Imagine what Noni Madueke feels like.

Luke, Rory and Jim preview the game and try to remember what our best team is. Plus, an ode to Mikel Merino the handsome nerd, we look inside Mikel Arteta's special box, and we review the invitees to Robert Pires' testimonial in Metz. Was Samir Nasri just in the area?

Here we go again... Renée Slegers may have been too angry to get on the mic post-Paris FC, but Laura and Rory are here to voice their feelings on yet more disappointment from Arsenal. Has lifting the Brighton curse set a new curse on the rest of the season? Does the loss to Manchester City signal the WSL title is all but out of reach?

And what would keeping Renée Slegers signal about Arsenal's ambitions this season? Is it now time for her to go?

We're on the home straight for the international break! But first, Laura, Luke and Jonny have some serious stadium business to attend to: the Emirates won't be getting an expansion after all, much to the frustration of over 100,000 people on the waiting list for season tickets. But will this prove to be the best decision for the team on the pitch?

Elsewhere, a comprehensive round-up of our boys' performances abroad over the weekend, where we also take a close look at the discourse around Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze right now. Plus, the latest on Man City's refutable irrefutable appeal, which we cannot wait for every manager to refute in their press conferences on Friday.
