The Thing About Arsenal
Weekend Review: King...... William
•
Being third on Match of the Day has never felt so good. Laura, Jonny and Jim revisit a routine home win against Everton, which gave us our first glimpse into life without Bukayo Saka – and Noni Madueke seems to be more confident than ever.
Elsewhere, we hail Gabriel's 200th PL game and ask if he's proved himself to be even more important than William Saliba. We also try to figure out the cause of The Emirates Waterfall (which Jonny can't fix on his cherry picker, sadly) and we hear your stories of sharing snacks on the terraces with other fans. Truly heartwarming stuff – unless it turns you into a cowardly wreck like Luke Kempner.

29:30|A performance somehow reminiscent of Panathanaikos in 1998.

41:51|Are Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze ready to step up in Bukayo Saka's absence? On the evidence of midweek, we're feeling good about it.

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.
