Summary
Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to conduct a quarter term report on Arsenal’s season so far.
The panel discuss how much they’re enjoying what they’ve seen, how well Arsenal have been performing, the togetherness of the squad, some of the players who have impressed them, their personal highlights, the positives of the season and the very few negatives that could be improved on over the course of the campaign.
Plus, Ian chats to Megan Feringa about Arsenal Women after their draw with Tottenham and the struggles they’ve been facing.

| 0:53.0 | And now we've got the slog where there are no international breaks. |
| 0:56.9 | And then they start again with interruptions and the home straight. |
