THE NORTH BANK - An Arsenal Podcast

Join Holly and Chris as we strike a rather despondent chord following a frustrating draw at Fulham. Was it really as bad as it feels? Do we need to get a striker in, in January, or would a shift in current team structure do the trick? Are we creative enough from open play? Do we actually play for corners? Are we out of the title race? So many questions, so few answers. Distracting

Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we revel in the saltiness of opposition and pundits alike lose their collective minds at our set piece prowess. No Gabriel, no problem, but we do want him back for the next game! We chat about Rice, squad rotation with Kiwior and Zinchenko, and Raya's somewhat under the radar contribution to this current run. We then look ahead to Fulham at the weeken

Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we look back at what was ultimately an emphatic win at The London Stadium on Saturday. We eulogise over Saka and Odegaard, bemoan our mini wobble, and worry about some of the treatment meted out by the frustrated West Ham players in the second half. Stef has a Gabriel-centric quiz that may well leave you even more in awe of the big man (Gabriel, not S

Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we bask in the glory of our season best performance against Sporting, before looking forward to the game at the London Stadium on Saturday evening. Will Arteta rotate, are West Ham a threat, will Stef predict a win? We discuss who our best right back is, Liverpool's long term prospects and concern for Pep. There's the usual quiz, plus a bonus quickie:

Chris & Stef reflect on a relatively comfortable 3-0 win at home v Forest. Despite a few team changes, we turned in a cohesive, high-energy performance and scored 3 cracking goals. So, have we turned a corner? Has Mikel got his mojo, as well as his captain, back? And who exactly controls our stadium jumbotrons? There's a look ahead to Sporting Lisbon on Tuesday who are in fine

In the absence of Holly, Producer Chris & Stef are running the show. We celebrate the last international break of the year - although this was a strangely welcome one. We look at where we are at after 11 PL games, fringe players' form and how we might cope with the next 7 supposedly 'easy' games - can we look forward to a relatively fully fit squad and some consistency in perfo

In this bonus, CLASSICS episode of the pod, Holly and Stef catch up with Arsenal fan royalty, Dave Seager, as he talks us through his latest Arsenal book, 'Welcome to the Goonerverse'. We also chat about how Dave first fell in love with The Arsenal, his inspiration behind the book and his take on the current season. A thoroughly enjoyable chat I'm sure you'll all enjoy! Welcome to

Join Holly, Stef and Chris for our 'on the whistle' reaction to our draw at Stamford Bridge. Was it one point gained, or two points dropped? Was that our strongest starting eleven? Odegaard returned and immediately reminded us of what we've been missing, not that we needed reminding. There's talk about international breaks, warm weather training camps, Martinelli, Trossard, Timber'

Join Holly, Stef and Chris for another riveting chat about how great Arsenal are at the moment. Okay, so things aren't brilliant, but, Odegaard is back, so that's reason enough for optimism. Chris and Stef run the rule over our defeat in the San Siro, whilst we all attempt to second guess Arteta's team selection for Sunday's crunch game at Stamford Bridge. There's also a quiz - nam

Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we attempt to make sense of our current form. What needs to change to get us back to some winning, free flowing football? Is it a personnel or systemic issue? Is Odegaard the answer? Can we trace these issues back to our summer transfer business? There's also some inspired, puntastic, cheesy chat from Stef that's worth the admission price alone. You c
