The Thing About Arsenal

Jim and Jonny jump on the mic after a hugely impressive performance out in Munich, where some of the lads reminded us of their immense quality and Martin Keown reminded us he's even more madly in love with the club than we are.

Another week, another Arsenal headache. Laura and Lucy are back to unpack another ineffective display and ask the big questions: has Renée Slegers missed her chance to turn the season around?

Did Arsenal play like champions – or are old habits dying hard? Laura, Luke and Jim reflect on our dramatic win against Nottingham Forest, which has left each of the them feeling a bit different.

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.

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?

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.

As the week rolls on, the Man City scandal keeps getting worse and worse. Today, Shay is here, armed with his trusty whiteboard, to try to make sense of it all for Luke and Jonny.

Another game, another disappointing result. Laura and Rory are here to vent after another frustrating outing for Arsenal, this time against one of our biggest rivals, Chelsea.

Laura, Luke and Jim convene for a bumper pod after a bumper weekend. Never thought we'd say that during an international break. They dissect every headline and every angle after reports that Manchester City have been found guilty of all but one of the 115 charges against them. Why is it so different to Chelsea's breaches? What would happen if City get relegated? And how much has this all impacted Arsenal... and the Premier League as a whole? We also allow ourselves to get seriously petty, and Jim has some choice words for Bernardo Silva after his disgraceful tackle on Martin Ødegaard. Join The Thing About Arsenal Club!

Mikel Arteta has agreed a new deal. And blimey, we've come a long way since Mesut Özil's 'trust the process' tweet... Luke and Jim are joined by an ex-Arsenal player, current Arsenal brain: Adrian Clarke! They discuss Arteta's tactical tweaks so far this season – and Kai Havertz's hamstring tweak last night. What patterns have we noticed so far? Have Brighton shown there's a method to beat us? And do Arsenal really lack pace up front? Adrian is sceptical. Come join us!

We hoped and we prayed it would be different this time but it was another WSL draw against Man United at the weekend. Today, Lucy and Rory are here to once again try to make sense of Arsenal’s attacking woes. Ugh. But don’t worry, the football train stops for no one.

Lucy, Jim and Jonny have woken up to a two-day hangover, with the loss to Brighton still stinging. We wonder if Brighton’s approach represents a blueprint for how we can be got at and ask why our team of big personalities failed to react to getting whacked in the mouth early on. Despite that, we decide it’s not time for panic stations and also dish out the passports for the crazy number of our players going out on international duty - so what can we hope for over the next three weeks?

We’re going back to Highbury! Arsenal’s Carabao Cup exploits have earned them their first-ever away trip to Fleetwood. Today, Jim, Jonny and Shay have a much-needed conversation about Max Dowman's role this season. But first, Brighton away. The lads explain why it could be a tough test at the Amex Stadium.

Jim and Rory get off the sunloungers after Arsenal cruised past Ipsiwch Town in the Carabao Cup, where a host of youngsters seized their opportunity to shine. Marli Salmon by name/nature was excellent in defence, while Max Dowman tentatively reminded us that he might already be the best footballer anyone has ever seen anywhere.

Laura, Jonny and Lucy reflect on Saturday night against Sunderland and - after an incredible start to the season - ask who Arsenal's most important player is right now.

That game was Street Fighter, UFC and Saving Private Ryan all rolled into one. So how did Arsenal come out with all three points and a clean sheet? Two answers straight away: David Raya and Bruno Guimarães. Luke and Jonny tuck into a brilliant match where Sunderland threw everything and Brian Brobbey at us, but couldn't breakthrough.

Will Julián Alvarez come to Arsenal? Will he even pick up the phone to Mikel Arteta? Who knows but... do we want him to? Luke, Jim and Rory ponder on that question and all of the saga's complexities as the rumours continue to mount. But first, there's the small matter of Unai Emery's Aston Villa on Monday night! We're excited for more of the same after Coventry City, and we might get our first look at Bruno Guimarães in an Arsenal shirt in the Premier League. One thing is for sure though: the Benaissance is well and truly under way. Join The Thing About Arsenal Club! Bonus episodes, match reaction live streams, Discord access. Start your 7-day free trial.

Luke and Jim watched Thierry Henry open some balls and David Villa hit his big button and – voilá – after all the usual nonsense UEFA fanfare, Arsenal got their Champions League draw.

It’s been a winning week for Arsenal! Laura and Rory are here to look back on our preseason victories over Paris FC and Manchester City, where there were two late winners and plenty of new faces got minutes off the bench. Now, with Charlton up next in the final pre-season friendly, what do they still need to show? Elsewhere, Renée Slegers seems to be happy with her squad, but with the transfer window closing soon, Rory can't help but feel there may still be some work to do. At least Arsenal’s new set-piece coach Nikita Runnacles could bring some joy... Join The Thing About Arsenal Club! Bonus episodes, match reaction live streams, Discord access.

The Community Shield is here! Whether Arsenal are ready is another question... Luke, Jonny and Jim look back on our pre-season and who will likely start against Man City in a game that still feels one week too soon. We also discuss Marli Salmon – how much can he truly been used? – and Jim argues why a defender in this transfer window is actually more important than a left-winger. Has he been Arteta brainwashed? We also have a much-needed conversation about player sales in light of the Myles Lewis-Skelly reports this week. Why was this even being considered? Was this even being considered? And when will Arsenal make some proper money on a player sale?! Comment on Spotify or on YouTube, or get in touch with the show on X, Instagram, and TikTok.

Laura is back with Jonny and Jim! And just in time for the news we all feared. They discuss who the club should now have in its sights after Vinícius Júnior signs the dotted line at Real Madrid, which – don't worry – we get appropriately petty about. To continue this summer's rollercoaster, we also get very excited about Bruno Guimarães as his move finally reaches its endgame. And then there's the small, smouldering matter of Cristian Romero.

Jim and Luke are back in the studio the day before pre-season kicks off – and we’re delighted to be joined by broadcaster and Arsenal diehard, Daniyal Khan!
