Ian Stone is joined by Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke to discuss the emotional rollercoaster win that was Aston Villa 2 Arsenal 4.
Enjoy reliving every key moment of that game from the terrible first half, to Jorginho's moment of truth, to the poetic justice the footballing gods served up at the end with Emi Martinez heading the ball into his own net.
We ask if this is the perfect way to win? Why Zinchenko didn't celebrate his equaliser? And what is the bare minimum requirement from the next block of games?
All that plus wonderful moments of karma from down the years too.

Ian Stone is joined by Art de Roche and James McNicholas to look back on Arsenal's home defeat to Man City but to look ahead to how they can turn things around.
The panel analyse where Arsenal weren't able to take a grip on the game when they looked like the better team at the break, talk about the shortcomings within in the squad, and whether Arteta's tactical choices paid off.
And with Aston Villa right around the corner there needs to be a shift in narrative from four matches without a win, two goals scored and now in second place, what can Arsenal do to regain momentum.

Ian Stone is joined by Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke to debate the line debacle from the draw against Brentford.
This week the panel work out what was going on with VAR, talk about where Arsenal fell short on the pitch, and whether the second half of the season is already catching up with them.
There's a look ahead to the tantalising fixture with Man City on Wednesday and the pod get very excited for what is a "proper big game" for possibly the first time at the Emirates.
And we enjoy the new artwork that's finally been installed around the stadium too.

Ian Stone is joined by Amy Lawrence and Art de Roché to assess how we’re all feeling, and how we should feel, as the expectations ramp up after each game of this unexpected title challenge.

The panel discuss a tricky looking fixture against a Brentford side who have a great record against the “top six” sides this season.
Plus there's discussion about Reiss Nelson giving back to his local community, what Folarin Balogun’s future holds once his incredible time at Reims is done, and Ian delivers potentially the cleverest joke he’s ever done on the pod…

Ian Stone is joined by Adrian Clarke and James McNicholas on this mixed weekend after Arsenal lost to Everton but saw title rivals Manchester City lose to local rivals Tottenham.
The panel discuss where the game at Goodison Park was lost, especially with set pieces. Adrian takes us on a tactical dive through the setup for corners and how it allowed Everton to score a "Burnley" goal. James talks through the inevitable bumps in the road and Arteta's "pathway of roses" too.
Plus there's discussion on Martinelli's new contract, Flo Balogun's incredible goal scoring form, and Adrian has some intriguing gossip about Declan Rice too...

Adrian Clarke is joined by Amy Lawrence and Michael Cox to talk all about Arsenal's magnificent win over Manchester United at the Emirates.
This week it's all about two Hale End boys Bukayo Saka and Eddie Nketiah as they scored the goals that gave Arsenal the three points. Michael tells how both players are able to succeed so well in their individual roles and take on the opposition so cleanly. We also discuss the impact that Mikel Arteta has had in such a short space of time and why it has worked for him, what his frustrations were as a player at the club, and the things he's brought in as a manager to improve the whole club.
