In this episode we look back at Saturday's 1-1 draw with Brentford, Arsenal's 12th of the season. We chat about the context of the game between the two Real Madrid ties, team selection decisions, whether Brentford should have had a man sent off as well as Gabriel Martinelli's comments about that challenge afterwards, the goal we scored and the one we conceded, and finishing the game with 10 men. Then we answer listener questions about Gary Neville's punditry, how to approach the second leg in Madrid, what to do in midfield if both Jorginho and Thomas Partey are unavailable, Josh's basketball distractions this summer, and loads more.

In this bonus half an Arsecast Extra, James and I look back on last night's incredible 3-0 win over Real Madrid in the Champions League. We assess an intense, high quality first half, before we get into the second half action, key of which were two extraordinary free kicks from Declan Rice. We chat about how those goals fed into what was already an amazing atmosphere, James talks about his experience in the stands at the Emirates, and then the third goal from Mikel Merino to ice the cake. There's also discussion of how big a night this is for the team in the context of this season, how the tie lies going into the second leg in Madrid, Myles Lewis-Skelly, and lots more.

In this episode we discuss the 1-1 draw with Everton on Saturday, starting with an atypical team selection from Mikel Arteta who obviously had the Champions League in mind when picking his starting XI. We discuss the first half, the goal we scored, a sloppy start to the second half and the penalty awarded to Everton. Was it more a referee error, or VAR? We chat about that, and how we still had plenty of time to find a winner but as has been the case more than once this season we failed to do so. We then answer listener questions about this season as a whole, defensive and attacking selections for the Real Madrid game, Jakub Kiwior, David Raya's penalty saving technique, and loads more.

In this episode I'm joined by Andrew Allen to discuss the 2-1 win over Fulham on Tuesday evening. We start with the good stuff, in particular the goalscoring return for Bukayo Saka, and a really bright performance from Gabriel Martinelli. Then we discuss the injuries to Gabriel and Jurrien Timber, as well as pre-game news about Ben White, and where that leaves us going into the Real Madrid games. What are the options available to Mikel Arteta, who tried to put a brave face on things after the game? And why are we sustaining so many injuries?
