Show Notes
Remember last season at Nottingham Forest? Yeah, but those days are long behind us. Aren't they?
Luke, Jim and Jonny discuss Sunday's examination in the Midlands and reflect on Mikel Merino's remarkable piece with the Player's Tribune – and even more remarkable red mobility scooter. Yes that's right, red.
We also discuss the proposed 60 job cuts at the club and what it says about the ownership, the meaning of 'community', and what we want Arsenal to be.

More from The Thing About Arsenal
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.
Seven minutes of beautiful carnage, that's all it took in the end. Jim was there to see it all inside the Emirates! He sits down with Jonny post-match to relive a performance that went from stodgy to magnetic very, very quickly.
