Summary

Join Ian Stone, Amy Lawrence, James McNicholas and Art de Roche for a spin through the latest from Arsenal

This week: is Tomiyasu the best right back since Lee Dixon? Should Ian Wright get a knighthood? And which former Arsenal player did Viv Miedema remind Ian of this weekend?

We discuss the hopes and expectations for the season ahead, whether Martinelli could play through the middle of the pitch, and find out whether we'll be seeing any of our youngsters making a cameo for the seniors in the second half of the season.
