Boyd and Josh are joined by Jim East Lower to catch up after last week’s victories over Leicester and Leeds, how we feel about Conte’s appointment at Spurs, Watford coming up and lots more.  arsenalpodcast.net  @arsenalpodcast  Produced by Josh Landy  Engineered by Leon Gorman  A Playback Media Production  playbackmedia.co.uk  Copyright 2021 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Boyd and Josh were joined by chocolatier Oliver Shorts as the trio revelled in one of the best performances of recent times as Arsenal outplayed Aston Villa with a comfortable 3-1 win. The joy of Emile Smith Rowe is the standout topic, with his importance to this side now seemingly unquestionable, whilst Lacazette’s impressive first Premier League start leaves us all wondering quite how Arteta fits him in after two impressive performances. There’s time to look ahead to Leeds, thoughts on Benjamin White and touch upon the abuse some AFTV regulars have been getting at the stadium. arsenalpodcast.net  @arsenalpodcast  Produced by Josh Landy  Engineered by Leon Gorman  A Playback Media Production  playbackmedia.co.uk  Copyright 2021 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast Alan Alger, to reflect on a last gasp 2-2 draw against Palace, with Lacazette finding his first goal of the season to salvage a point. Boyd had trouble getting into the stadium and wasn’t happy with the queue to get his free beer in club level, but most of the podcast was spent with the trio discussing Sambi’s exclusion from the starting line up, Saka potentially needing a break, Aubameyang showing his worth and slight fears over signs of defensive frailties. The unbeaten run continues after a miserable start to the season and who knows, if we can beat Villa by 9, we could be up to 8th come Friday night. arsenalpodcast.net  @arsenalpodcast  Produced by Josh Landy  Engineered by Leon Gorman  A Playback Media Production  playbackmedia.co.uk  Copyright 2021 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Boyd and Josh were joined by Gareth The Bear Parker to reflect on a point gained on the South Coast as Arsenal and Brighton drew 0-0 whilst the trio reflect on the state of Arsenal as we head into another International break.   Is this the most settled Arsenal side in years? Is Gabriel’s dentist the busiest around? How will we cope without Xhaka and is Aubameyang going to rediscover the kind of form that once made him a golden boot winner?   Thanks for listening and we’ll be back in two weeks time!

Boyd and Josh were joined by Arsenal Twitter Royalty as Geoff Arsenal was back on the podcast as we rejoiced after the terrific 3-1 win in the North London Derby.  Where to start? Glorious. Two academy products scoring goals, an atmosphere better than we’ve heard in a long time, Spurs fans leaving before Half-Time, Tomiyasu and Ramsdale on their way to becoming cult heroes… it was a day of celebration.  So where can this new found, injury free Arsenal side go from here?  Thanks for listening and we’ll be back next Monday.

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast, PR aficionado Max Goodbourn to reflect on successive wins for the Gunners that are starting to make the so called crisis move a little ever further away.  We all enjoyed a gritty 1-0 win to the Arsenal, a thing of beauty so associated with the club during a successful period in the 1990s, was just what was needed in a must win fixture as Arsenal start climbing the table.  We look ahead to a big week, where Arsenal will seek more success, with AFC Wimbledon first visiting in the Carabao Cup, before Spurs arrive next Sunday at the Emirates looking for their first North London Derby away League win since 2010. But who will be in goal. The assured Ramsdale or is Mr Falk right that Leno is heading back between the sticks? Frankly, who the Falk knows. Thanks for listening and we’ll be back next Monday.

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast Dean Allan - aka ‘Afcamden’ on twitter to reflect on the last two weeks in North London. Arteta referred to the last fortnight as his best in football and whilst Boyd wants to query how true that is, we’re all delighted The Gunners are off the mark with a win and to be off the foot of the table. With a fully fit first choice back four, a returning Thomas Partey and Aubameyang scoring goals perhaps the dark clouds that have been set over the Emirates may slowly pass as Arteta hopefully steadies the ship. Meanwhile there may have been 30 attempts at goal, but all that really took Boyd’s attention on Saturday was what was going on under Tierney’s shorts. All will be revealed.  Thanks for listening and we’ll be back after the Burnley game next week. Check out Review From The Terrace that kicks off with distinctly Scottish view of Braveheart.

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast and voice of Arsenal, Dan Roebuck for a reflection on the home defeat to Chelsea and look ahead to what is to come this season. With a whole host of players out it was always going to be a challenge up against the European Champions and so it proved as Arsenal were limp in their North London Derby defeat to Chelsea. Are there reasons for optimism in amongst the gloom from two opening defeats? A plan in place with transfers that we should get behind or a man in charge who isn’t right to take us forward?

Sidekick Josh has outrageously gone on holiday to avoid Arsenal-based chat but we still have top-notch insights from Alan Algar and Ricky Lawrence as they join Boyd to discuss just how bad that performance was against Brentford, the manager’s bizarre comments on Auba, why he seems to be aping Pep’s tactics with massively inferior players and if Arteta will be gone by Christmas. Plus - are we excited about the probable signing of Odegaard and of course predictions of how we’ll cope with Chelsea on Sunday.

We’re back! A new season brings new hope… or does it? Has the fanbase ever felt quite so pessimistic about a new campaign?  Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast, television star Alex Brooker to look ahead to the new season.  Boyd reports on the status of the queues at Snappy Snaps whilst Alex reveals how his latest leg artwork came about, as we look to find reasons for optimism. The trio consider the new signings, players they’d forgotten were still at the club and ponder what the new season is likely to have in store.

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast, television star Alex Brooker to look back on a frustrating season. Boyd and Alex reflect on what it was like being back at the Emirates for a final day victory, with Boyd enjoying even more space than usual in Club Level as his butler delivered his drinks to his table. Alex meanwhile had the strictest steward keeping an eye on him down with the masses. Do we have reasons to be optimistic or just concerns to worry about? What happens next?

Arteta seems set for another season, which can’t be said for David Luiz and the trio discuss further changes we’re expecting to see this summer. There’s excitement to be back in the stadium for the Brighton game and hope against hope results fall our way and The Gunners can yet sneak into Europe.

Well, the big prizes are no longer a possibility after the misery of our Europa League exit but the double of relegating Big Sam and finishing above Spurs is still just about a possibility.

Arsenal Supporters Trust who has been at the heart of key meetings with the government, Josh Kroenke and Spotify owner Daniel Ek in recent weeks as football ownership has been firmly in the spotlight.  Meanwhile on the pitch, the biggest game of the season is just two days away as Arsenal look set to welcome Villareal to North London.

Boyd and Josh were thrilled to be joined by Formula E Driver, Arsenal Fan Alex Lynn, fresh from his podium finish at the Valencia GP. After an extraordinary week off the pitch, Goalkeeper Bernd Leno ensured an equally strange finish on it, as his peculiar own goal gave Everton all three points all but ending our slim hopes of European qualification via the League. We discuss more of the Super League fallout, any hopes of a change of ownership and how the eggs look being entirely in the European basket Listen to Season 2 Trailer from Middle Please, Umpire - a Cricket Podcast on the Acast app https://aca.st/ae002b arsenalpodcast.net  @arsenalpodcast  Produced by Josh Landy  Engineered by Leon Gorman  A Playback Media Production  playbackmedia.co.uk  Copyright 2021 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

We were thrilled to welcome Leader of the Labour Party Keir Starmer to react to an extraordinary week in English football. We hear what Keir think of the last few days with the demise of the Super League, foreign ownership, fan protests, the importance of football in politics and how football can restore some of the natural balance of power it’s now missing.  We also hear about Keir’s love of the club, favourite players, memories and which box to box midfielder he bases his own game on.

It’s been a peculiar 24 hours and there was barely time to talk about Arsenal’s draw at home to Fulham as the podcast was unsurprisingly dedicated to the extraordinary news about the European Super League and Arsenal’s proposed participation.
