Declan Rice, we got him half price
Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to reflect on Arsenal's 3-0 victory over Bournemouth, keeping the pressure on Manchester City.
The Gunners equalled last season's tally of 26 wins and 88 goals scored, while David Raya confirmed the Golden Glove.
The panel talk Bukayo Saka's mentality, and discuss where Declan Rice is best suited after another man of the match performance.
Plus, questionable decisions, the super Leandro Trossard, and we hear from Art de Roché on Arsenal's dramatic victory in the WSL.

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...

Chelsea crushed - the perfect preparation for Spurs
Ian Stone has Adrian Clarke and Art de Roché on board to look back on a near-perfect performance by the Gunners in that incredible 5-0 defeat of Chelsea - not a bad way to prepare for the North London derby on Sunday. 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.

Top of the table again!
Arsenal went to Wolves at the weekend and came away with the necessary win to head back to the top of the table once more and put a dreadful week behind them - and Ian Stone, Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke are all about channeling the positivity for this episode of Handbrake Off.
It's a case of one down, five more finals to go, then, and it starts on Tuesday with Chelsea. Does Arteta rotate and rest anyone ahead of the North London derby?

Customer Reviews
Good with Amy
Generally it’s good. Yea it’s a bit poor on production sometimes with stupid questions and reminiscing about irrelevant favourite moments. Amy makes this she is excellent but she is not on every week. Stoney is a real fan and does a very good job but let down sometimes by poor format/production.
