14 Years in the Making
Show notes
Josh and Alan are raced back from Liverpool to join Boyd for a celebratory podcast as the trio rejoiced Arsenal, finally securing a victory at Anfield for the first time in 14 years as the Gunners go 3 points clear at the Premier League.
We celebrate Arsenal's impressive defensive steel, Declan Rice's outstanding display, the seamless integration of Ezri Konsa and all round good feeling as Arsenal go clear favourites in the Premier League title race.
We also briefly look back at disappointment against Fleetwood Town, but safe to say it was put right with victory at Anfield. Thanks as always for listening.

A Day To Remember
Show notes
Boyd, Josh and Alan gathered to celebrate Arsenal's victory over Everton as Josh experienced his first game taking his daughter whilst Boyd was living it up in the director's box.
We talk about the outstanding defensive duo of Konsa and Gabriel, our two goal scorers on Saturday, and discuss Arsenal's brilliant squad depth as the Gunners ease to victory.
For the second half of the podcast we are joined by Alex Fynn to discuss his latest book which reflects on Arsenal's journey in the Champions League last season.
Thanks as always for joining us and we'll be back next week.

Hair Management
Show notes
Boyd, Josh and Alan gathered in the wake of a narrow 1-0 victory in Nottingham Forest as Arsenal return to second place in the Premier League.
We reflect on a largely flat performance that lacked attacking threat for the vast majority of the game.
We ponder the impact on Eze's half-time withdrawal, if we should be concerned by the style of play, and most importantly of all Noni Madueke's hair management.
Thanks as always for listening, we'll be back next week.

Looking Back In Anger
Show notes
In our first podcast of the City Officially Guilty Of 114 Charges era, while Josh sleeps, Boyd and Alan ponder the Leeds victory, how we turned it around, should we worry about our attack, and how it feels to watch Premier League football in these dark times and celebrate Mikel Arteta’s new contract.

Blip On The Coast
Show notes
Boyd, Josh and Alan gathered in the wake of a sobering defeat on the South Coast. We reflect if Brighton were outstanding or Arsenal wildly out of sorts and how concerned we should be looking ahead.
With the international break upon us we reflect on the opening five games of the season, assess whether this squad is ready to go the distance and if Arsenal will be back to their brilliant best in the weeks ahead after an international break that might have come at just the right time. Thanks for listening, we'll be back in a couple of weeks.

Arteta Ticks The Boxes
Show notes
Boyd, Josh and Alan gathered in the wake of another successful week for the Gunners with victory in Naples followed up by a 2-0 win at the Stadium of Light as Arsenal's 100% start to the season continues.
We discuss Arteta's anger almost overshadowing his joy at victory as our goalkeeper makes a stunning penalty save before Bruno's first goal for Arsenal gifts us a victory in a very tricky fixture.
We discuss if Bruno could be the most impactful signing since Declan Rice and look ahead to the games against Ipswich in the Carabao Cup and Brighton next weekend. Thanks as always for listening.

We Can Get Satisfaction
Show notes
Footballistically Arsenal is back with Boyd, Josh and Alan reacting straight after Arsenal’s brilliant 2-1 win over Chelsea. We discuss Arsenal’s attacking flair, the incredible response to going 1-0 down, the magnificent atmosphere and why we were so delighted with the level of performance and why we're really attacking the title, not defending it. Alan tells us what it was like sitting in the directors’ box, chatting to Mick Jagger and meeting Arsenal legend George Graham, plus, we look ahead to two intriguing games against Napoli and Sunderland. Thanks as always for listening.

Bad Window
Show notes
Boyd and Alan are joined by Oli Shorts (sidekick Josh is busy) during the disappointing finale of transfer deadline day to discuss a transfer window that might have delivered more. As Boyd deals with his his anger, they turn to the game against Villa and ask why opposition fans boo Saka, what Thierry Henry said to him on Sky and just how good is Calafiori?

Tzolis Has Landed!
Show notes
Boyd, Josh and Alan gathered to look back on Arsenal's opening day success against Coventry as Arsenal cruised to victory against Frank Lampard's side. We discuss our Greek debutant on the wing, the arrival of Ezri Konsa and the extraordinary strength in depth our squad has heading into the new campaign. Boyd takes us back to the times of Brian Marwood and vocalises his discontent on the chips situation under new catering at the Emirates. Thanks as always for listening and we'll be back next week.

We Are Unbearable
Show notes
Josh, Boyd and Alan gathered once more in the wake of the Premier League trophy lift at Selhurst Park as Arsenal formally ended their 22-year wait to lift it! We look back on an incredible day, discuss our favourite moments and quite how it feels when you've waited so long for something you want so much. It's our tribute to Mikel and this incredible group of players who have put Arsenal firmly back at the top of the tree and given us pleasure and joy on a level we have dreamed of. We also look ahead to the small matter of the Champion's League final on Saturday in Budapest and the chance to complete the greatest season in Arsenal's history.

Tale Of The Tape
Show notes
Boyd, Josh and Alan gathered as for the first time in our podcast's history, we record a show as Premier League champions.
We can scarcely believe what we're saying and look back on an extraordinary season, celebrate our favourite moments and look ahead to running out as champions at Crystal Palace on Sunday.
It doesn't matter if you were a believer or otherwise, it's a time for pure joy and celebration from all the Arsenal fanbase.
We hope you're enjoying it wherever you are, and will continue to for many months ahead. Thanks for listening!

Five Unbearable Minutes
Show notes
Boyd, Josh and Alan gathered in the wake of one of the most dramatic endings in Premier League history as VAR came to Arsenal's rescue in the most dramatic of circumstances to keep Arsenal's title dream very much alive, and possibly send West Ham to the championship. We look back on the hugely controversial incident, reflect on the tense, gritty victory, hear from Boyd on his experience watching it whilst at the BAFTAs, and also look back on making a Champions League final and why the next three weeks could be the greatest in the club's history!

Myles High Club
Show notes
Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast Dean (AFCamden) to rejoice after an impressive 3-0 victory against Fulham gave Arsenal a six-point lead at the top of the table ahead of Manchester City's trip to Everton on Monday night. We reflect on the outstanding performance from Myles Lewis-Skelly, an excellent week for Viktor Gyökeres, ponder the role of Zubimendi and look ahead to a huge game on Tuesday night as Arsenal look to book their place in the Champions League final. Thanks as always for listening!

Turning A Short Corner
Show notes
Josh, Boyd and Alan got together in the wake of Arsenal's gritty and nervy 1-0 victory against Newcastle which saw them go back to the top of the table, after a wondrous Eze strike from a third short corner routine that had left the stadium initially uncertain. We discussed why the title race couldn't feel more of a coin flip, how much we'll miss Havertz, the importance of Saka's return, and look ahead to a huge Champions League semi-final trip to Madrid. Thanks as always for listening!

Keep The Faith
Show notes
Boyd, Josh and Alan gathered in the wake of a potentially pivotal defeat for the Gunners away at Manchester City, as their solid showing failed to yield any points and Manchester City closed the gap to just three points in the title race.
There's an element of pride in the performance, yet a sobering reality of what a defeat means.
Five games to go, no more room for error, And whilst we're no longer the favourites, we're certainly not out of it... Keep the faith.

Reheat The Dinner
Show notes
Boyd, Josh and Alan gather in the wake of a deflating weekend which saw Arsenal surprisingly beaten at home by Bournemouth whilst Manchester City closed the gap to 6 points with victory at Stamford Bridge. We discussed which side is now in pole position and whose situation we would rather be in. We reflect on what went so wrong on Saturday and whether we can put it right against Lisbon, and then away at Manchester City in the biggest game in many a year on Sunday... Thanks as always for listening!

Insert Jesus Headline
Show notes
Sidekick Josh is away again leaving Boyd and Alan on their own to survey Arsenal’s current situation after a crushing defeat to Southampton in the FA Cup. What does the performance mean for our season and just how much more excruciating and tense can the run-in get?

Hard Cheese
Show notes
Boyd, Josh and Alan gathered in the wake of the Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester City to reflect on an afternoon that never really looked like going our way. We ponder the goalkeeping selection, how Manchester City were able to dominate Arsenal and if the defeat will have any bearing on the rest of the season. A lovely day out at Wembley until the game... But even a nice cheese board couldn't hide our disappointment.
