| 28 Oct 2022 | #10: No Collings, No Problem (feat. Ciaran & Abdul) | 00:44:13 | |
Alex Towells is joined by Ciaran (@xCiaran_) and Abdul (@Flaminiesta) to discuss the draw against Southampton & the win at home to PSV, in the absence of Alex Collings, who has a degree to do this week. This podcast was recorded before Arsenal's 2-0 loss away to PSV, so we don't yet know we're destined to lose that game. You can tell. Also there are some audio issues at times - we're aware of what the problem is, and will fix it for next week, but there's not much we can do about this week unfortunately.

| 12 Nov 2022 | #11: In Control | 00:55:48 | |
It's been a while since Alex Collings has been on the pod, so we sit down to discuss the three Premier League games Arsenal have played in that time: Southampton, Nottingham Forest and Chelsea.

| 10 Feb 2023 | #19: Sean Dyche Is Good | 00:46:35 | |
The inevitable happened, as Arsenal lost 1-0 away to Everton in classic "new manager bounce" fashion. Towells & Collings take some time to appreciate just how well Dyche has the Toffees playing in just over a week as well as discussing what we could have improved about our own performance. We then have a quick discussion of the Brentford and Manchester City games, which somehow seem to have become even more important given recent results...

NOTE: Towells couldn't use his usual mic this episode, so his audio sounds rubbish. We tried to fix it in the edit, but we couldn't. Sorry about that. Towells & Collings discuss the most 1-0 game of all time in Arsenal v Leicester. We discuss why we struggled to break down Leicester, how playing Trossard through the middle affected our attacking line, and why the Jorginho playing for us seems so unrecognisable when compared to the Jorginho who Chelsea fans moaned about non-stop.

| 14 Apr 2023 | #26: The Anfield Test (feat. Seb Hund) | 00:52:17 | |
Towells and Collings once again welcome Seb Hund to the show to discuss our 2-2 draw with Liverpool - a result we definitely would have taken before the game, but leaves a bitter taste in the mouth afterwards. Topics include The Xhaka (non-)Incident, how we ceded control to Liverpool in the second half, and why bringing on an extra centre back seemed to make us less defensively solid, not more. Timeline: Intro: 0:00 Liverpool 2-2 Arsenal: 1:01 - 38-07

Towells is joined by the podcast's first new permanent member, Seb Hund, to discuss a second game in a row where Arsenal go 2-0 up early in the first half, only to concede once just before half time and then an equalizer in the second half.
