With Boyd away in New York, Josh took the reins of the podcast and was joined by Alan Alger and Ricky Lawrence to reflect on a draw in West London as Arsenal and Fulham shared the spoils. How damaging will those dropped points be to our title hopes? And is there a danger of over reliance on set pieces after yet another Arsenal corner success.

We look at Saka’s extraordinary influence, more refereeing frustrations, and a slightly cryptic Arteta…Thanks as always for listening, we’ll be back next week.  arsenalpodcast.net  @arsenalpodcast  Produced by Josh Landy  A Playback Media Production  playbackmedia.co.uk  Copyright 2024 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Learn more about your ad choices.
