0:00Until they start winning big games, they've got no chance winning the league. They still cringe FC, isn't they? Did he know how to win a league? Supporting Arsenal has got so serious. I think it underlines how far they've fallen. I don't think so. That a 2-1 win against newly promoted Fulham is being received in the manner that it was. It's easy to forget that this should be something we actually enjoy. Celebrate all you like, but come on. Welcome to The Thing About Arsenal, the brand new Arsenal fan podcast that does things differently. How would you react? I'd probably cry like the players. That is probably the fair response.

He's on one and he's trying to fight fire with fire here. And I don't think we're good enough to do that. Join us for insight, healthy disagreement, unhealthy nostalgia and plenty of laughs from a group of Arsenal obsessives. Pep is the most cringe man on the planet. If you took away Pep's trophies, you'd get sectioned. Can you imagine him in a mental asylum? It would be making the other inmates worse. Yes, exactly. They'd be like, no, you can't. I can't be in with a bald man.

1:04We'll be here every Monday and Friday to discuss the latest from the men's team and every Tuesday for Arsenal women. I am so excited for this. We'll also be on the mics after the final whistle of every single Arsenal men's game. Ricardo Calafiore, I just want to see him up close. He strikes me as like the man part of a centaur. This is your new Arsenal community where we can celebrate and commiserate together. It's literally non-stop entertainment. Because the thing about Arsenal is that anything can happen. And probably will. What sort of attitude is that going into New Year with? Come on, New Year, new you.
