The Thing About Arsenal

Laura, Luke and Jim are here to affectionately moan about Arsenal and look ahead to a massive Saturday afternoon clash against Everton at some stadium called the Emirates. Is Bukayo Saka really injured, or is he hampered by the horseshoe of doom? Will Kai Havertz get the nod against Everton? And why is Rodri having a full-blown midlife crisis?

Plus, Luke has a troubling confession to make and Laura turns to the film 'Goal!' for advice. Said no one ever.

Today, Jim and Jonny reflect on Bukayo Saka’s poor performance and the value of having a deep squad after Noni Madueke and Kai Havertz's contributions off the bench. Plus, Luke shares his experience of watching the game at the BayArena in Leverkusen.

We've still not quite got our heads around Max Dowman and Marli Salmon. So today, Laura springs an impromptu quiz on Jonny and Lucy to REALLY make us feel old...

Elsewhere, we discuss in depth what's going on with Gabriel Jesus – and whether we need to be patient, or finally let go. Plus, pizza delivery man and Invincible Edu bites the dust at Nottingham Forest – do we look back on his Arsenal tenure differently now?

And ahead of our tie with Leverkusen, we hear from the Arsenal Germany Supporters Club! Who won't be buying their tickets on eBay this time...
