The Thing About Arsenal

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? And what would keeping Renée Slegers signal about Arsenal's ambitions this season? Is it now time for her to go? Join The Thing About Arsenal Club!

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. Join The Thing About Arsenal Club!

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. Did Renée Slegers make the correct substitutions? What must we do differently against Paris FC in the UWCL? And is the game against Manchester City a possible season-decider already?

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. We also take time to look ahead to the return of the Champions League tonight. Plus, anxiety is high as we face our old pals Chelsea this weekend. Join The Thing About Arsenal Club!

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.

0-0. It’s an all too familiar scoreline for Arsenal over the past couple of years. However, are things a little different this time?

It's official: Arsenal have contacted Pro Ref about Ezri Konsa's penalty on Saturday. Busy day for that lot... 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. Elsewhere, we hear your suggestions of jobs for Arsenal players, discuss where the Carabao Cup should rank in our priorities this season, and wonder just how far Mikel Arteta's self-confessed sabotage might have gone.

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. We relive that stunning Guimarães goal, analyse the size of Mikel Arteta's penalty area, and share some very minor concerns about Bukayo Saka's profligacy in front of goal. Come join us!

We've had the clean-up crew. We've had the locksmith crew. What other jobs suit the Arsenal squad? Laura and Jonny are joined by Daniyal Khan to ask that very important question. Elsewhere, Jonny has an extremely troubling confession about Martin Ødegaard, we ask if any rest key players will – or should – be rested for a tough assignment on Tyneside, and a listener gets in touch about their lifesize cardboard cutout of Mikel Arteta.

One thing is for sure this weekend: we simply cannot lose to Chelsea. Laura, Jim and Rory are here to contemplate a threatening Chelsea side rocking up at the Emirates, albeit with an absolutely awful nickname for their front three.

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?

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 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.
