The Thing About Arsenal

A performance somehow reminiscent of Panathanaikos in 1998. More on that...Luke and Jim are straight out of the Emirates to react to our rain-soaked, windswept match-up with Everton, featuring some brilliant performances from Noni Madueke, Eberechi Eze and – most of all – Gabriel. Just don't do that kneeslide again, please. Plus, did Luke muster up the courage to pick a different chocolate bar from Annie? We're waiting with bated breath.Join The Thing About Arsenal Club!

Will we have learned our lessons from Nottingham Forest? Plus, David Raya says he wants to play in La Liga and we're totally cool and chill about that. We also give our thoughts on Arsenal's smart urinals and – by extension – the male psyche, and we get to the bottom of the mysterious snack in the Arsenal dugout.
