Summary

Joining Ian Stone for this one it's Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke as they talk about the idea of fans going along to training sessions. Could it work? What would you get to see? And will it ever happen?

We discuss which of the Arsenal teams from down the years you'd like to see an "All or Nothing" documentary on and why really there is only one answer.

Wednesday night was the first chance that fans had to see Fabio Vieira in an Arsenal shirt, we discuss what he will bring to the senior team when he gets his chance.

Amy and Adrian gets their teeth into the question of squad depth and look at the opportunities players will have to get game time.

And finally there's a nod to Nacho Monreal and his time at the Emirates
