We've had the traitors eleven, now for the beloved eleven. Which players from our past have you enjoyed the most? Not the best, but perhaps ones that didn't quite live up to their potential, or that understood what being a Gooner meant and developed a cult following as a result. Perhaps even a player who meant something to you personally, or who entertained as much off the field as on it. Are there any players who won you over, or who you missed greatly once they left? Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we attempt to arrive at 11 of these beloved players from our past. Please enjoy, like, share etc. COYG!

A cracking show for you today! We discuss the World Cup and our personal highlights after the first round of games, many of which aren't actually from the field of play. We then take on the summer transfer window and map out the players we'd like to arrive, the players we think we'll get and finally, the players we feel may end up departing. Some listener questions are also tackled, in particular a look back at players who have failed to live up to their initial hype or potential. I'll leave you with a teaser - who was Arsenal's first goal scorer at a World Cup tournament? Please enjoy, like, share etc. COYG!

Keep, Bench or Sell? We ruthlessly (or not, as the case may be) go through the squad, stating the case to either sell, keep or bench each member, with a view to making room for new arrivals and making us even better next season. There are some tough conversations to have about certain players. Can we keep relying on players whose bodies keep breaking down, is this the time to sell Odegaard, or Martinelli, is there a price at which you would cash in on Calafiori, and what do we do with the returning Nwaneri?

Next season, if you could only win one of the Premier League or the Champions League, which would it be? What did this season's title win mean to you, how did it make you feel? What is your biggest takeaway from this season - our defence, our set piece prowess, our resilience, our fan base or something else?

What a two weeks that has been - from Bournemouth taking points off City, a hundred thousand fans descending on the Emirates for a midweek party, to Palace away and the trophy lift, to Budapest and the heartbreak of a penalty defeat, to the biggest football gathering this country has ever seen in Islington on Sunday. No wonder I feel like a spent force. So, how do we rate this season overall? How proud are we of our team, and supporters? Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we attempt to make sense of everything that's happened in the last fortnight. Please enjoy, like, share, etc. COYG!

A quick reflection on our disappointing defeat to PSG in the Champions League Final. Holly was at the Emirates, while Stef was at the game in Budapest (but unable to send a video message!).

Hard to be upbeat right now, but when we've had time to reflect I hope we'll agree this has been a successful season overall and we have plenty to celebrate.

Join us for a full-length pod in the coming days...

One more game to go - the Champions League final in Budapest against PSG. With the league title already in the trophy cabinet, we stand on the edge of greatness ahead of this game. One more win this season could see us achieve something no previous iteration of Arsenal has ever managed. One. More. Win. Sounds easy doesn't it?

Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we explore ways in which we think we can achieve this - who plays at right back, on the left and in midfield? Arteta has a few decisions to make, but whoever he selects I am confident we can achieve the win. Please enjoy, like, share etc. Thank you! COYG.
