Show Notes
Laura, Jonny and Shay are here for a level-headed next day review of our brilliant win over Chelsea, which may or may not start with maniacal laughter and may or may not end with Shay accusing Emi Martínez of having a bad Uber rating.
We discuss Martin Ødegaard's brilliance in more detail and Ezri Konsa's debut, just after leaving Arsenal a 5-star review on TripAdvisor too. Plus, Mikel Arteta's transfer shortlist gets leaked, more club crest chat, and Jonny's now got regrets about one of his Arsenal tattoos...

More from The Thing About Arsenal
Are Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze ready to step up in Bukayo Saka's absence? On the evidence of midweek, we're feeling good about it. And could there even be chance for Max Dowman to return to the Premier League stage?
Jim and Jonny jump on the mic after a hugely impressive performance out in Munich, where some of the lads reminded us of their immense quality and Martin Keown reminded us he's even more madly in love with the club than we are. That said, we saw a scary-looking injury and a few shaky moments – join us for all the reaction!
Another week, another Arsenal headache. Laura and Lucy are back to unpack another ineffective display and ask the big questions: has Renée Slegers missed her chance to turn the season around? Has Arsenal lost its identity? And are we now just the wounded beast of the WSL?
Did Arsenal play like champions – or are old habits dying hard? Laura, Luke and Jim reflect on our dramatic win against Nottingham Forest, which has left each of the them feeling a bit different.
And breathe... Arsenal don't make it easy for us, do they? After an incredibly frustrating first 80 minutes, Mikel Arteta's Fix it Force™ got the job done, coming away from the City Ground with a 1-0 win.
