The Thing About Arsenal

If anyone’s yet to get excited about the new season, Luke and Rory have got you covered - because they're on the pod straight after Arsenal win another trophy!

The vibes were bumping after twenty-odd seconds when Riccardo Calafiori finished off a lovely move and the boys never looked back. Join us as we recap a great win that had it all: another impressive Christos Tzolis performance, flashes of the brilliant Martin Ødegaard of old and an interesting glimpse into how the midfield might fit together once everyone gets up and running.

The Community Shield is here! Whether Arsenal are ready is another question...

Luke, Jonny and Jim look back on our pre-season and who will likely start against Man City in a game that still feels one week too soon. We also discuss Marli Salmon – how much can he truly been used? – and Jim argues why a defender in this transfer window is actually more important than a left-winger. Has he been Arteta brainwashed?

We also have a much-needed conversation about player sales in light of the Myles Lewis-Skelly reports this week. Why was this even being considered? Was this even being considered? And when will Arsenal make some proper money on a player sale?!

Laura is back with Jonny and Jim! And just in time for the news we all feared.

They discuss who the club should now have in its sights after Vinícius Júnior signs the dotted line at Real Madrid, which – don't worry – we get appropriately petty about. To continue this summer's rollercoaster, we also get very excited about Bruno Guimarães as his move finally reaches its endgame.
