One-nil to the Arsenal at Old Trafford - Trossard again

It was our 27th victory this season, the most we've ever managed in the Premier League.
William Saliba was monstrous at the back, while Leandro Trossard was on the scoresheet yet again, clutch.
Plus, how do the panel feel about supporting Spurs, as Manchester City head to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday.

Should Arsenal sell Gabriel Jesus?
James McNicholas and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to discuss the future of Arsenal's number 9.
Gabriel Jesus looks a far cry from the player who took us to a new level in the first half of last season, with only four Premier League goals this campaign.
Have this team out grown him, and should Mikel Arteta look to sell? Or can he get back to the form we know he's capable of?
Plus, what could Jorginho's contract offer mean for Thomas Partey, and a look ahead to Saturday's home fixture against Bournemouth... Let's hope it's less stressful than last time.

Havertz and Saka shine in absurd north London derby
Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to reflect on another ludicrous north London derby, as Arsenal beat Spurs 3-2 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Mikel Arteta's side have showed their maturity since the defeats to Villa and Bayern, and the win over Spurs emphasised their resilience.
Despite not being at our best, including gifting Spurs two goals, we held on for a deserved and incredibly important win.
The panel discuss stand-out performers Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka, with the former having his best week in an Arsenal shirt to date.
Plus, St Totteringham's day, Ben White's antics, and Mikel Arteta's 'Untouchables'.
3 cup finals down, 3 to go...

Do we make any changes for Spurs, or stick with the boys who did so incredibly well on Tuesday? Plus: the return of Jurrien Timber, and considerable amounts of love for the continued magnificence of Martin Ødegaard and Kai Havertz. Look out for Amy Lawrence's piece on our new favourite German.

Customer Reviews
Amy and James triumph, Lee Dixon though..
Two of the best in the biz in Amy and James, but Lee makes it difficult to listen to. He’s purely there cause he’s an arsenal legend but doesn’t offer/add anything to the analysis whatsoever.
Great podcast but
I really enjoy this podcast, would give 5 stars except the production is dreadful, constantly having to adjust the volume as the presenters are at different levels of sound. I assume there’s some post production before it’s put out here but it’s not been adjusted so it’s annoying to keep turning the volume up and down
Don’t waste your time!
Podcast emphasizing on negativity from journalist pov ! Tried it for more than 7 episodes, not for me and shouldn’t be for you! Ian Stone is a poor host.
