Scar Tissue
A rare misstep this season saw Arsenal lose at home to Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon as Manchester City now once again lead the way at the top of the Premier League
No time, though, for Mikel Arteta and his players to dwell on the defeat as they head to Munich on Wednesday looking to progress into a Champions League semi-final
To look back and peer ahead, Mark is here and is joined by Simon Collings of the Evening Standard and football.london's Kaya Kaynak
Guess the Gooner is back, of course, although Jordan Davies is refusing to return to the pod now he has finally managed to get to grips with the concept of the game*
*Rumour has it Jordan was last seen sporting a signed Calum Chambers shirt at the Emirates on Sunday and was disappointed he did not get to meet his new hero in person... -
On a Night Like This
A long-awaited return to Champions League action did not disappoint as Arsenal drew 2-2 with Bayern Munich at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night
With the tie finely-poised ahead of a trip to Bavaria to come next week, Kaya is back in the presenters' chair and is joined by a bumper panel
Jordan Davies from the Sun, the Telegraph's Sam Dean and Jordan Campbell of the Athletic are on hand to run the rule over the first leg and what it means for Arsenal's last-four chances
Our weekly debate is taken over by a "penalty shoot-out" as the panel argue over which decisions were right and which were wrong - having already nearly come to blows over Kylie Minogue
There is just about time after all of that to preview Sunday's Premier League visit of Aston Villa as Unai Emery looks to steer Arsenal off-course (again)
We also cram in a triple-threat round of Guess the Gooner, to boot! -
Pawn Stars
Kaya is back in the hot seat following a thrilling 0-0 draw at Manchester City on Easter Sunday
With the Premier League title race taking another twist, Kaya is joined by Jordan Davies from The Sun to look back and pick the bones out of the goalless stalemate
Luton up next, though, and the reverse fixture finished 4-3 so surely there is some excitement to be found on the pod somewhere...fellas...?! -
Easter at Eastlands
In what could be a potentially huge fixture in deciding the destination of the Premier League title, the Arsenal Beat is back and we have rolled out our own big-game players
Mark is joined by Simon Collings of the Evening Standard and football.london's Kaya Kaynak to look ahead to what is shaping up to be a defining match in Mikel Arteta's reign
We also have our usual Thursday debate - as well as an important discussion about chocolate eggs - and we finish with a special outing of the best game in podcasting* Guess the Gooner
*decision pending -
The Best Churros in Manchester
Arsenal are top of the Premier League - nothing new in that given the past year-and-a-half
Arsenal, though, are also in the Champions League quarter-finals...
With Mikel Arteta's men ending a 14-year wait to get back to the business end of Europe's elite competition, only an elite Arsenal Beat panel would suffice
Mark is joined by Kaya Kaynak of football.london and the returning Nick Ames of Guardian fame to look back on two results that could shape this season and beyond for the Gunners
The trio talk continental hot chocolate options, handball, Raya and Ramsdale, Havertz, Kiwior and more
We also here from skipper Martin Odegaard as Mark coins a Karl Hein catchphrase (expect him to launch an online merch store sooner rather than later) and Nick ends the show with a bold prediction

The Blades & The Bees
Yet another thrashing handed out by Mikel Arteta's in-form side means spirits on the Arsenal Beat remain high
Kaya is back on hosting duties and is joined by Jordan Campbell of the Athletic and The Sun's Jordan Davies to look back on a fine 6-0 win at Sheffield United
The trio also cast a collective eye towards Saturday's visit of Brentford, while the Athletic's Jay Harris joins us as our Arsenal Outsider
We round things off with a thrilling Guess the Gooner as both Jordans aim for their maiden victory
