The boys are back finally and looking forward in this brand new episode. We find who John thinks should be the next manager in quickfire john and we discuss the best and worst 11s in Arsene's 22 years. Then in our bullseye themed quiz it's 'look at what we could have won' looking back on the signings Arsene didn't make (and I didn't mention Phillipe Cocu once - even though he was the missing piece when Petit left). There is also some news about the this summer's world cup and Our Lotski at the W...

We catch up with Wayne and Nigel still trying to break the Wembley curse. John has 3 onions for tea and the Match of the Day quiz seems like a fix (but definitely isn't). Support the show

Not a clever pun on the state of the Arsenal board without David, it actually refers to real broken board games that he leant the team for their 'holiday' to Bermuda.

Keep cool during the heat of summer with this perfectly preserved episode, frozen in time courtesy of the block 5 boys. Recorded on 17 April - we hadn't lost to Spurs, hadn't even played the FA Cup Semi Final! We were at the pit of poor results with an away trip to Middlesborough live on the tele as we recorded this. Notable for our 'what if you could spend the 200 million war chest' conversation - as a clue John wanted to spend it on dogs and fish fingers... so expect a cracker. Support the sho...

As Arsene thinks that only a small proportion of fans want him out we thought that we would dedicate this episode to another poll - can we get an idea of who would like to say thanks for all the great memories but it is time to give in, and who still thinks he is capable of steering out of these choppy waters? Listeners! Let us know! All the usual fun with Matt, Stu and John is also just where you need it. Support the show

In this week’s Think of a Number the argument between who was the best number 19 came down to two club legends. Two sides of a midfield coin if you like.

Warning - this podcast may contain Tottenham fans. Spunky Nigel and Wayne took over the show and have ruined it.
