Hold the Salt, Mikel

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast Dean Allen (@AFCamden) to reflect on a 5 star Arsenal victory as the Gunners easily beat Crystal Palace including a late brace from Martinelli. We asses Arsenal’s title chances as the second half of the season commences.

Josh In Motion

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast The Voice of Arsenal Dan Roebuck to reflect on Arsenal’s FA Cup 3rd round exit at the hands of Liverpool. We look back on how an encouraging first half failed to deliver any goals before Arsenal succumbed to two late Liverpool strikes.

The question on everyone’s lips is now whether Arsenal will now enter the transfer market in a bid to kick start a season a season that has somewhat unravelled over the last six games.

Triple Whammy at the Fairground

Defeat Through A Lens
