It's been a while since Alex Collings has been on the pod, so we sit down to discuss the three Premier League games Arsenal have played in that time: Southampton, Nottingham Forest and Chelsea.

Alex Towells is joined by Ciaran (@xCiaran_) and Abdul (@Flaminiesta) to discuss the draw against Southampton & the win at home to PSV, in the absence of Alex Collings, who has a degree to do this week.

This podcast was recorded before Arsenal's 2-0 loss away to PSV, so we don't yet know we're destined to lose that game. You can tell.

Also there are some audio issues at times - we're aware of what the problem is, and will fix it for next week, but there's not much we can do about this week unfortunately.
