After all the distractions, the Europa League final is upon us! James and I discuss Wednesday's game against Chelsea, chatting about the likely formation that Unai Emery will use and the team he'll pick. Will there be a deviation from the back three we all expect? Is Mesut Ozil a sure-fire starter? How will we deal with Eden Hazard? Petr Cech in goal ahead of Bernd Leno? All that and much more, including listener questions throughout the show, including transfer targets, young players from the Academy, and, of course, our chances of success in Baku.

On today's show I chat with Charles Watts about his upcoming journey to Baku for the Europa League final, and the game against Chelsea frames the discussion. Are the team distracted by the Mkhitaryan situation? How much would Emery have used him if he were available? Who will play in goal, and who should play in goal? Then we discuss the interview with MD Vinai Venkatesham and Head of Football Raul Sanllehi, in which they laid out their plans for the summer and beyond. How confident can we be that they can get the job done? All that and some of the usual waffle.

A special midweek bonus podcast for you, in which I sit down with Ken Early of Second Captains to look back over the season. Although Arsenal still have something to play for in the Europa League final, we chat about the Premier League campaign, Man City's title winner, Liverpool's challenge, how the league can be competitive again with City's financial domination, as well as some Arsenal and the rest of the top four. There's also some stuff on the Europa League final situation with Baku, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and more.

In the May edition of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, we meet our new co-host Pippa Monique who tells you how a chance sighting of Rachel Yankey on TV began a love affair with the Arsenal Women, Pippa also talks about covering the recent Women's Champions League final and a chance encounter with new signing Manuela Zinsberger in Budapest.
Tim and Pippa trekked to London Colney a few weeks ago for an in-depth sit down interview with Gunners boss Joe Montemurro. Joe talks about his managerial philosophy, how he secured tactical buy-in from his players after taking over in 2017 and how the squad has created such a tight bond. After that, we speak with German international Tabea Kemme about an injury ravaged debut season, her other career as a policewoman and how growing up on a farm in Germany influenced her outlook on life. Both of these interviews are exclusive to Arseblog News.

We're in the middle of a weird lull between the end of the Premier League season and the Europa League final, but there's still plenty to talk about. Including: The FA Cup final and Man City's soulless treble, Pep Guardiola taking exception to being questioned, and how many fans need a measure of cognitive dissonance when it comes to their football clubs these days. Has City's financial domination seen us reach some kind of tipping point? We also discuss the Henrikh Mkhitaryan situation with regards the Europa League final in Baku, Reiss Nelson's Arsenal future, how do we fit wingers into a team with two strikers, Steve Bould, Mustafi to Milan, Santi Cazorla and lots more.

On this week's show I'm joined by The Man from East Lower and Clive Palmer to discuss our final league position, the missed opportunity to finish in the top four, Unai Emery's chance of salvation in Baku when he could win a European trophy and get us back into the Champions League next season. We then chat about the big job coming up this summer, whichever flavour of European football we have, and that's the squad rebuild. Will Emery and the club be ruthless to deal with the many issues at hand? Can we do what we need to do with the budget we have? And do the circumstances suggest that doors may be opened for young players to take their chance in a squad that requires a lot of work? All that and lots more.

In 2003-04, Arsenal went through the entire league season without a losing a game. It’s a unique achievement and one that remains unequaled to this day. The Gunners went into that campaign having fallen short of a double the season before, and with minimal summer spending.
The squad was small but with players like Patrick Vieira, Robert Pires, Dennis Bergkamp and, of course, Thierry Henry at the peak of their powers, and with a strong supporting cast, Arsenal did something unbelievable.
It was a season with ups and downs, highs and lows, but it’s one that still remains fresh in the memory. Join me, Andrew Allen and James from Gunnerblog as we revisit the 2003-04 season as Arsenal became Invincible.

On today's show we look back at the 3-1 win over Burnley on the final day of the season, two more goals for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang which saw him win/share the Golden Boot, the final league position of 5th and some overall thoughts on our Premier League campaign, before we discuss Mesut Ozil after another away game in which he wasn't even part of the squad. What are Arsenal going to do about him this summer in the wake of stories from his agent about how much he wants to stay? We then answer questions about the best and worst moments of the season, loan players, transfer business and which players from outside the top 6 we'd target, which academy players might make the step up next season and lots more.

On today's much happier and more upbeat show, we discuss the 4-2 win over Valencia which sees us in the Europa League final at the end of May. Just how good are Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette? We chat about their performances, but also their importance in the present and our future as we look to rebuild the squad in the summer, as well as how crucial Champions League football will be to that work. Then we answer questions about the final, Petr Cech or Bernd Leno, who should take penalties if it goes to that, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, what would define Emery's first season as a success or not, and lots more.

Another disappointing Premier League result has ended our top four chances. James and I discuss the 1-1 draw with Brighton – the latest in a dreadful run of form, chat about the culpability of the manager, the players, and the people running the club. We discuss the January transfer window and how that might have helped rather than hindered us, ask who is making the decisions, and worry about those running things and making decisions. Then we answer listener questions about selling Granit Xhaka, our summer transfer business, the injury that hurt us most, James comments about bad characters, selling Lacazette, and much more – including some madness from a famous parrot at the end.
