Summary

Join Ian Stone, James McNicholas, and Art de Roché for a full and joyous unpacking of Arsenal 3-1 Spurs. And stick around at the end for a bonus chat with Amy Lawrence if you just can't get enough love for the Arsenal.

This week: we revel in the cauldron of the Emirates, ask if this is the turning point for Arsenal, and praise, well, almost everybody!

We've got love for the Hale End, for Partey, for Odegaard, and for Tomiyasu. We've got stories from the ground. And we've got a discussion on the Arsenal women's team, who are top of the league, and what Arteta could learn from Eidevall.

It's a packed show, but it's worth it, and here's how it sounds

0:47.1	We will be talking about that.
0:48.7	By the way, it's been pointed out by Abbey R producer that Hansy Flick was there yesterday,
0:52.6	presumably to look at Burt Leno.

1:01.8	I mean, I wanted to talk about the atmosphere at the game, and I genuinely think that when that third goal went in,
1:08.6	James, I know you did a little tweet talking about the noise at the Emirates, but when that third goal went in, I thought that, aside from say,
1:16.6	Barcelona at home, that might be the loudest I've ever heard it down there. So I wanted to
1:22.3	ask you guys, what is that sort of favourite noisy crowd moment that you've had.
