The Thing About Arsenal

We're on the home straight for the international break! But first, Laura, Luke and Jonny have some serious stadium business to attend to: the Emirates won't be getting an expansion after all, much to the frustration of over 100,000 people on the waiting list for season tickets. But will this prove to be the best decision for the team on the pitch?Elsewhere, a comprehensive round-up of our boys' performances abroad over the weekend, where we also take a close look at the discourse around Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze right now. Plus, the latest on Man City's refutable irrefutable appeal, which we cannot wait for every manager to refute in their press conferences on Friday.Join The Thing About Arsenal Club!

Laura, Luke and Jim convene for a bumper pod after a bumper weekend. Never thought we'd say that during an international break.They dissect every headline and every angle after reports that Manchester City have been found guilty of all but one of the 115 charges against them. Why is it so different to Chelsea's breaches? What would happen if City get relegated? And how much has this all impacted Arsenal... and the Premier League as a whole?We also allow ourselves to get seriously petty, and Jim has some choice words for Bernardo Silva after his disgraceful tackle on Martin Ødegaard.Join The Thing About Arsenal Club!
