Arsenal beat Everton 2–0, and it’s time for the Gunners Group Chat player ratings, deep breath as John takes the wheel.

The lads go through the performances, debate who stood out and discuss the importance of Big Gabby at the heart of the defence.

Plus, there’s Arsenal’s trip to Bayern, a look around the Premier League, and Last Orders.

Four mates. Forty opinions. One Arsenal.

1 Nil to the Arsenal

One goal, three mates and plenty to argue about. With John missing, Tarran, Gary and Luke unpack Arsenal’s win over Nottingham Forest: Madueke’s impact, Eze’s frustrating afternoon, misfiring set pieces and whether grinding out results is enough.

Then it’s Bayern away—who starts, how Arsenal approach it and the score predictions—plus a Premier League round-up and the latest Manchester City punishment rumours.

Gary’s quiz descends into a dispute over who answered first, while last orders brings electronic referee cards, two balls on the pitch and a rugby-ball invasion. Stay past the music for the evidence: who actually said “12” first?

Ødegaard: Arsenal’s Trigger Man

Is Ødegaard the trigger that makes Arsenal’s press work? Luke takes us through the tactical elements of the Leeds game as the lads discuss Lille, debate what Arsenal miss without their captain, and question whether Gyökeres’ first touch is helping anyone.

We also pay tribute to Ken Friar and his extraordinary service to Arsenal, before Gary’s quiz and Last Orders bring the usual arguments and football nonsense.

Plus: a Porsche parking incident, Luke’s newfound expertise in grass and a barbecue invitation that still hasn’t arrived.

Chini Jr: Attack of the Vini Clone

The lads discuss Arsenal’s international break, the latest injury concerns and who should start against Leeds as the Gunners prepare to return to Premier League action.

There’s also the latest on Manchester City, what the situation means for Pep Guardiola and whether his legacy has been permanently damaged.

Plus Gary’s increasingly chaotic quiz and the bizarre internet conspiracy claiming that Vinícius Júnior has been replaced by a clone—better known to the Gunners Group Chat as Chini Jr.

Phil Phoneden

Manchester City have been found guilty—but what should the punishment actually be? The lads debate relegation, stripped titles, a possible 288-point deduction and which City player Arsenal should take if the fire sale begins.

Then it’s back to Arsenal: Arteta’s new contract, whether the club are positioned to dominate, the early struggles of Gyökeres and Eze, Ødegaard’s importance and the latest international football.

Plus Gary’s increasingly chaotic quiz, ridiculous red cards, Paddy Power trolling City—and Luke’s search for the mysterious commuter known only as Phil Phoneden.

Seven Left-Backs and Half a Striker

Brighton burst Arsenal’s bubble—but was it simply one bad day, or did they expose a blueprint for stopping Arteta’s side?

The lads debate Arsenal’s missing Plan B, whether Havertz and Gyökeres should have played together, and John’s prediction that Gyökeres, Eze and Madueke could all be gone by next summer.

Plus: the Premier League round-up, Gary’s increasingly controversial quiz, the Ballon d’Or debate, Andros Townsend versus a runaway pitch roller—and confirmation that John is not a medical professional.

Sixteen Going on Superstar

Max Dowman announces himself with two brilliant goals against Ipswich—but just how far can Arsenal’s 16-year-old sensation go?

The boys discuss Arsenal’s battling win at Sunderland, David Raya’s crucial penalty save, Bruno Guimarães’ thunderbolt and another refereeing disaster. Then things get heated over Viktor Gyökeres.

Plus Gary’s academy insight, the Premier League round-up and another chaotic edition of Gary’s Quiz.

Four mates. Different opinions. One Arsenal obsession.

Welcome back to Gunners Group Chat—the Arsenal podcast where four mates attempt to discuss football without everything descending into chaos.

In Episode 2, we analyse Arsenal’s clash with Aston Villa, praise Calafiori’s marauding madness and ask whether Havertz can score 20 Premier League goals this season. We discuss Ødegaard, Saka, Gabriel’s controversial moment and the frightening numbers behind Tzolis.

Then it’s deadline-day business: Arsenal’s transfer window, the incoming and outgoing deals, player sales, squad depth and whether the attack is genuinely stronger than last season. We also take a quick trip around the wider football world before Gary attempts to restore order with his quiz.

Expect strong opinions, questionable statistics and an unexpected journey into an Ainsley Maitland-Niles wonderland.
