The Thing About Arsenal

The WSL is back! Thankfully, Arsenal successfully lifted the curse that is Brighton away. Despite this, we weren’t at our absolute best, but Laura and Rory saw plenty to be optimistic about.

Elsewhere, we celebrate one of our sleeper agents taking points off Chelsea and cautiously review London City Lionesses' opening day win. Plus, we look ahead to a vicious Champions League draw.

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...

It’s Sunday night, Arsenal have beaten Chelsea at home and Laura and Jonny are here with a brand-new match reaction. Just take a moment to enjoy this feeling.

Do we still underestimate how good this team are? We reflect on that. Plus, Jonny has a theory about Morgan Rogers and a new nickname for the Arsenal bench.

One thing is for sure this weekend: we simply cannot lose to Chelsea. Laura, Jim and Rory are here to contemplate a threatening Chelsea side rocking up at the Emirates, albeit with an absolutely awful nickname for their front three.
