In this episode we look back at Sunday's 1-0 win over Chelsea. It wasn't a classic by any means, but Mikel Arteta's men did enough to win the game thanks to a goal from Mikel Merino – and his role at centre-forward is an ongoing talking point in part 1. We also chat about how well Arsenal dealt with nullifying Chelsea's attacking threat, the solidity of our defensive platform, Wesley Fofana's lucky escape, and all the other in-game incidents. Then we answer listener questions about Jurrien Timber and his contribution this season, Arteta's preferred striker profile ahead of the summer, our Champions League hopes, a Chelsea Mount Rushmore, some #angeout, and lots more.

In this episode I'm joined by Phil Costa to look back at Arsenal's 2-2 draw with PSV at the Emirates on Wednesday evening. We chat about Mikel Arteta's much changed team selection, the use of Oleksandr Zinchenko in midfield, the first and second half contributions from Raheem Sterling, the goals we scored and the ones we conceded, and our Champions League campaign in general after making the quarter-finals for the second successive year. Then we look ahead to the games against Real Madrid, round-up the other Champions League fixtures and quarter-final match-ups, and lots more.

In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie pick over the bones of a deflating 1-0 FA Cup defeat to Liverpool at Meadow Park, they discuss how much the conditions had an impact on the performance, Arsenal missing some power and explosiveness and how the cup elimination sours the vibes around the club. In the second part, there are questions about Mariona’s best position, club ambition, whether Meadow Park still offers ‘home advantage’ and summer recruitment.

In this episode we look back at Sunday's disappointing 1-1 draw with Man Utd at Old Trafford. Arsenal failed to turn first half dominance into chances, and fell behind to a Bruno Fernandes free kick, before Declan Rice equalised late in the second half. We analyse the performance, our continuing issues when we face a low block and how much that is actually a consequence of how we play rather than an opposition tactic. There's also discussion of the heroics of David Raya as the Gunners keeper made a string of saves to ensure we didn't lose the game, Rice's goal and fantastic tackle, Kieran Tierney's cameo as an attacking sub, as well as listener questions about Mikel Arteta and his post-match interview, our lack of threat from direct free kicks, the remainder of the season from a Premier League perspective, the imminent appointment of Andrea Berta as Sporting Director, and lots more.

In this episode we look back at the superb 7-1 win over PSV in Eindhoven last night. We chat about pre-game worries about goalscoring, only to see the Gunners run riot in front of goal. We chat about all the strikes, from Jurrien Timber's opener to Riccardo Calafiori's closer, Ethan Nwaneri's incredible finish, a confidence boosting night for senior players – Martin Odegaard in particular – and some moments which may have changed the complexion of the tie. We discuss Myles Lewis-Skelly's good fortune in not picking up a second yellow card, and whether this is something that needs careful management from Mikel Arteta. Then there are listener questions about which flavour of Madrid we'd like to play if we navigate the second leg without incident, Nwaneri and MLS possibly being called up by England, Nathan Butler-Oyedeji in the second leg, Ben White's return, and lots more.
