It’s all Unnecessary Dec 01, 2025

Show notes

Boyd, Josh and Alan get together in the aftermath of a gritty 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge as Arsenal's lead at the top of the table sits at 5 points. We look back at one of Arsenal's toughest games of the season, despite playing 10 men for almost an hour, and ponder if it's a point gained or 2 points dropped in the title race... Alan ponders on quite what is necessary in the world of TV production and football to the dismay of Boyd and Josh whilst we look ahead to important games at home to Brentford and away to Aston Villa on Saturday. Thanks as always for listening, we'll be back next week!

Eze's Prayers Answered Nov 24, 2025

Show notes

Boyd, Josh and Alan gather in the hours after a magnificent North London derby victory as Arsenal crushed Tottenham 4-1 at the Emirates. We celebrate Eze's hat trick, the first in a North London derby since 1978, providing the perfect ending to a weekend which saw Man City and Liverpool lose, giving Arsenal a 6 point lead at the top of the table. The sweetest of all afternoons... we dissect it in all it's glory and look forward to a a massive week with the games against Bayern Munich and Chelsea.

No Long Throw-Ins Nov 10, 2025

Show notes

Boyd, Josh and Alan reflected on a disappointing draw as the Gunners dropped two points after a late goal at the Stadium of Light. We discuss whether there's been an over reaction to Arsenal conceding goals and points, and how dangerous Manchester City will now be for the remainder of the season. Should we be worried about Arsenal's lead being reduced to just four points? Or are we heading into the November international break in a position we would have gladly grabbed after defeat to Anfield earlier in the season...

Thanks as always for joining us and we'll be back after the international break.

In With Fynn Nov 03, 2025

Show notes

Boyd, Josh and Alan got together to celebrate another important victory as Arsenal's extraordinary run of clean sheets continues with a 2-0 victory at Turf Moor. Boyd apologises to Trossard, reflects on a very promises 45 minutes for Gyökeres, whilst we all laud Declan Rice's outstanding performance. For the second half of the podcast we are joined by esteemed football author Alex Fynn to tell us about his book looking back at the 24-25 season, as Arsenal came oh so close to ending it with silverware...

Thanks as always for listening, we'll be back next week!

It Really Is Odds On. Oct 27, 2025

Show notes

Boyd, Josh & Alan gathered straight after Arsenal went four points clear at the top of table, in a scarcely believable weekend as both Liverpool and Manchester City lost to make Arsenal significantly odds on favourites for the title.

We reflect on another defensive masterclass, Eze’s first premier league goal, Alan refusing to clap Nketiah, another Adidas retro shirt masterclass and look ahead to Brighton’s visit in the Carabao Cup.

Thanks as always for listening and see you next week.

Show notes

Josh is away so Boyd and Sidekick Alan are joined by pod regular Rick Lawrence to discuss the textbook away victory over Fulham, whether it was TOO textbook, run the rule over how our newbies are doing, debate Arteta’s approach to games and the controversial Saka penalty decision which we eventually get to in the end… plus Predictions of course.

Drop Names Not Points Oct 06, 2025

Show notes

Boyd, Josh and Alan reflect on a routine home victory against West Ham that lifted Arsenal to the top of the table heading into the international break.

Can't Find The Handbrake Sep 30, 2025

Show notes

Boyd, Josh and Alan reflected on a joyous last gasp win at Newcastle, as Arsenal claimed what could be a huge victory at a stadium they have struggled at in recent years. We discuss whether the handbrake has been on, and if we can now truly say it's off as Arsenal go favourites with bookmakers for the Premier League title...

Alumni in the Boardroom Sep 22, 2025

Show notes

Boyd, Josh and Alan come together to reflect on an important point as Martinelli's late strike salvaged a draw at the Emirates against Manchester City. Whilst we do talk about the game in depth, we first celebrate former Footballistically Arsenal podcaster Ben Winston's appointment to the Arsenal boardroom, and reflect on how proud we are to have one of the original voices of this very show in such a coveted position. We reflected on just how crucial that late goal could be, who the pressure is on to deliver success this season, and look ahead to trips to Port Vale, and then Newcastle on Sunday. Thanks as always for listening!

A Tea Assist Sep 15, 2025

Show notes

Boyd, Josh and Alan reflect on an impressive victory against Nottingham Forest in what was a particularly enjoyable afternoon at the Emirates Stadium. We laud the performance of Noni Madueke and celebrate the strength and depth this squad has, is it perhaps the strongest since we moved the Emirates Stadium?

We look back on Zubimendi's double, Mosquera's impressive showing, Eze's silky skills... all from a performance where there was so much to enjoy. Alan admits he missed the second goal and promises to never do it again! We also look ahead to a trip to Spain in mid-week, before pondering the visit of Manchester City next weekend. Thanks as always for listening, we'll be back this time next week!
