First half Arsenal, excellent. Second half Arsenal, nervy! Declan Rice was a general at right back. Martin Ødegaard had his best game in a while. But the real hero of the match was, David Raya who saved the day with an incredible tip over the bar to deny, Brighton.
Points vs performance keeps coming up as we scrape through second half displays. Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side is far more blue collar than champagne. Some fans want to drink the champagne. Do you care how we win, as long as we win? Have your say in our football democracy.

On this episode we welcome, Pete (aka Le Grove) back to squad central. Since the summer, many folks have lauded Arsenal's transfer business and squad depth. But after one late loss to Aston Villa, it appears the sky might be falling for a section of the fanbase...again.
There are strong opinions about Zubimendi, Eze, Madueke and Gyökeres! Opinions are never facts. So what is the truth? How have the new signings performed thus far? How have they integrated with tenured players? Have injuries hampered a true assessment? Let's dive in and dissect with, Le Grove as he grades the squad. Who gets a hall pass? Who is in detention?

A brutal last minute winner for Aston Villa ended a great run of results for the Arsenal in the league. As you can imagine, the post game reaction has been vitriolic in certain spaces, but is the sky really falling? Did the Mikel get his line-up wrong? Or did the team let the gaffer down? The image of the players down and out on the pitch at the end of the match is tough to see, but Mikel is very good at selling pain and providing a solution. Have your say in our football democracy.

Were there any positives to take? Was there a player who rose from the shadows? Did Mikel get his team selection and subs right? Dive in with us and have your say in our football democracy!

The cannon shoots the cockerel down with a phenomenal team performance. But Eze steals the show and has his seminal moment for the Arsenal. What a North London Derby debut! Trossard also shines with another electric display. We waxed lyrical about it all and had a little fun bantering the enemy. Have your voice heard in our football democracy.

Welcome to part two of my conversation with Senior Football Correspondent for GiveMeSport and Talksport Premier League Commentator, Ben Jacobs. In this segment, we dive into some January transfer talk & North London Derby.
Does Jesus still have a future at the Arsenal?
Ben discussed, Etta Eyong and how he is the hottest property in Europe right now. Could Eyong be an option for the Arsenal?
What about the clickbait headlines on Lewis-Skelly and Nwaneri? Are the media trying to disrupt the players? What does Ben make of it all?
Are Liverpool really the favourites to sign Semenyo? Ben just spent time interviewing Semenyo's personal coach so you won't want to miss what he has to say about that.
We asked Ben for his North London Derby prediction and he gave us his assessment of the enemy so far this season. Ben also shares a very interesting firsthand anecdote about, Claudio Ranieri in the season his beloved Leicester City won the title.
