We'll unpack all the brilliance and (mercifully little) bozo-ness, discuss favorable refereeing and transfer window prospects ahead of Mikel Arteta's first full upcoming season in charge of Arsenal...

 

...and lastly, from the bottom of our hearts, when it comes to your Arsenal-supporting futures, goodbye and goodluck: this is our final podcast episode. After almost 11 years of euphoric highs and (seemingly) guttural lows, we're heading on to pastures anew in many respects. One thing we're not leaving behind though is our love for by far the greatest team the world has ever seen, so if an Arsenal match is on, be sure to look for us in a nearby pub, wherever you may be in the US, or better yet, catch us for a game at the Emirates, COVID-permitting.

 

It's been a joy sharing these moments with you over the internet airwaves for the last 11 years, so until we see you again remember: support the Arsenal.
