Summary

Ian Stone is joined by Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke to debate the line debacle from the draw against Brentford.

This week the panel work out what was going on with VAR, talk about where Arsenal fell short on the pitch, and whether the second half of the season is already catching up with them.

There's a look ahead to the tantalising fixture with Man City on Wednesday and the pod get very excited for what is a "proper big game" for possibly the first time at the Emirates.

And we enjoy the new artwork that's finally been installed around the stadium too.
