On this week's quite sweary show we start with some of the positives from the North London derby. Despite the frustrating nature of the result, there were some things to be encouraged about. We chat about them, but inevitably we have to discuss the officiating, the penalty we conceded and the penalty we missed which had such a significant impact on the game. Also, social media reaction to the team selection, Emery getting it mostly right in terms of the team he picked, the upcoming United game, questions about penalties and penalty takers, the top four fight, summer transfer business and a bit of hashtag fun right at the end.

On this week's show I'm joined by Phil Costa from OneFootball to discuss the win against Bournemouth, some encouraging signs in the way we've played in the last couple of games, and to look ahead to a crucial North London derby at Wembley on Saturday. What kind of a team will Unai Emery pick, and will it be enough to get the points? Then James and I go through the remaining fixtures for Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea and Sp*rs and make predictions for each game, before totting up the points we reckon each side will get. Who comes out on top, and finishes in the top four?

On this show we look back at the 2-0 win over Southampton which saw us move ahead of Man Utd and into the top four. We chat about an impressive first half, the goals we scored and the ones we probably should have scored, the second half which was more difficult but which still showed signs of encouragement, Bernd Leno's importance, and reflect on what was a positive day overall. Then we answer listener questions about how to rotate for Wednesday's clash with Bournemouth, whether the self-sustaining model is something to be proud of, full backs, the links with Monchi as Technical Director and lots more.

It's a post-Europa League show in which we discuss the 3-0 win over BATE Borisov who hopefully we never ever have to play again. We chat corners, the return of Mesut Ozil to the starting line-up and the impact he had, and what lies ahead in this European competition with the draw for the next round taking place tomorrow. Then there are questions about the team and formation for this weekend's game against Southampton, Denis Suarez, the emotion of football, and lots more.

In this first episode: Arsenal Women will bid to win the WSL Continental Tyres Cup for the 6th time in 8 seasons when they face Manchester City in the final at Bramall Lane on Saturday. This is a repeat of last year’s final, which the Gunners won 1-0 thanks to a goal from Vivianne Miedema.
Our Arsenal Women correspondent Tim Stillman looks ahead to that game with the help of Arsenal centre half Leah Williamson. Leah talks about Arsenal Women being ‘feared and respected’ again, Vivianne Miedema, the threat that City pose and she contemplates her 7th cup final as an Arsenal player before her 22nd birthday.
Leah also talks about growing up as an Arsenal fan, interrupting a family holiday in Cornwall when she was 9 so that she could be Arsenal’s mascot and about Petr Cech taking the women’s team out to dinner on Monday night.
Tim also provides a preview to give a bit of context and there is full information on how you can watch the game on Saturday at 12.15pm.

After a busy weekend revolving around the Mesut Ozil Tweet and 'discussions' that it sparked, we discuss the German and the ongoing situation at the club. Ultimately, it's unhealthy for Arsenal but what's behind it and what can be done to find a solution that benefits the team? We chat about him, Unai Emery, Arsenal's role in it all, and hope for the kind of outcome that will pay dividends on the pitch as we chase a top four finish and the Europa League. Then there are questions about selling a star player (NOT OZIL!) this summer, whether we're in a better position now compared to a year ago, potential candidates for the captaincy, a cling-film conundrum and lots more.

In this episode I chat to Tim Stillman about our 1-0 defeat to BATE Borisov in the Europa League. Arsenal were beaten by a team who haven't played in two months, Unai Emery's team selection was conservative and his changes seemed to cause confusion more than anything else. Do the players understand what he wants from them, and are the signs from their performances a cause for concern beyond the poor results in recent weeks? We chat Kolasinac, Lacazette, Ozil, Arsenal austerity, Aaron Ramsey's status as he's about to depart and lots more, plus a smidgeon of the usual waffle.

On this week's show we look back at the 2-1 win over Huddersfield, are we worrying too much about style if the result is right? We touch on the performance, the goals we scored, the one we inevitably conceded, the team selection based on who Unai Emery had available to him, and we have to mention the Chelsea defeat which moved us up into 5th. There's some fun with the #sarriout hashtag, then serious questions about the abuse leveled at Alex Iwobi and Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Mavropanos being left out of the Europa League squad, how to approach the BATE Borisov game on Thursday, an either/or about our strikers, and more.

On today's show I'm joined by Clive Palmer to shoot the breeze as we head into the final 13 games of the season. It's a big challenge, and Unai Emery has plenty to consider, including his options at right back, does he give a chance to Dinos Mavropanos ahead of Shkodran Mustafi, what to do with Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey, and looking ahead we chat about the future and while I'm a bit scared about how much we have to do in the summer, Clive is excited. All that and a bit of the usual waffle.

On this special extra bonus Arsecast I'm joined by the BBC's David Ornstein to go behind the scenes of Arsenal's January transfer window. We discuss the signing of Denis Saurez and the pursuits of Yannick Carrasco, Ivan Perisic and Christopher Nkunku? Is he the only PSG player on our radar? We chat about the departure of Sven Mislintat as the Head of Recruitment is set to leave after just over a year in the job. Raul Sanllehi is the man with the power now, what will be done to replace Sven and who are the candidates. Plus some Mesut Ozil, KSE and the Kroenkes, Arsenal at the Super Bowl and more.
