38 min • 21 oktober 2022

Joining Ian Stone today it's Art de Roche and James McNicholas as Arsenal football club celebrate not one, but two big victories in European competition.

First up it's the men who defeated PSV on Thursday night with a dominant display. The pod gives the biggest shout out to Bukayo Saka who once again starred for the team, but note that the game changed when Odegaard and Partey were introduced. Plus there's a discussion about how Arteta wants his team to get used to playing every three days as that's what the top teams do.

On Wednesday night the Arsenal Women threw down the gauntlet when they smashed reigning Champions League champions Lyon 5-1. It was a landmark victory to quote James, and Art shows some love to Caitlin Foord who's been quietly going steady this whole calendar year.

We also dive into the stats to try and find out why Arsenal are playing better and we discuss which Arsenal players past and present would make the best option for the next Prime Minister.
