Episodes

S3: Episode 24 - The Final Episode 04.06.2026

We end the season with a special episode looking back at the Champions League final as both Ricky and mysterious youngest brother Darren share their experiences of attending the game in Budapest.

S3: Episode 23 - Party at the Palace 27.05.2026

And breathe! Both sides of North London united in celebration on Sunday, but for very different reasons as Arsenal basked in the glory of their first league title win in 22 years, while Spurs finally secured Premier League survival. We report back from Selhurst Park and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on a historic week for both sides.

S3: Episode 22 - VAR You Kidding Me?! 17.05.2026

After yet another tumultuous weekend of VAR shenanigans, Arsenal emerged as the big winners and helped out Spurs in the process.

S3: Episode 21 - This One's Optimistic 07.05.2026

After a challenging couple of weeks, both sides of North London have reasons to be cheerful, with both teams picking up vital wins and other results going their way.

S3: Episode 20 - It's Not Done 22.04.2026

After a potentially pivotal weekend at both ends of the table, we look for the positives for both sides of North London as we approach the final five games of the season.

S3: Episode 19 - Misery Loves Company 15.04.2026

We begin this week's episode by discussing whether this is collectively the lowest moment for us both since the podcast began, which gives you some context for what follows as we dive deep into Arsenal's title wobbles and Spurs' relegation woes. Along the way, we also find time to complain about refs and VAR and look ahead to another huge few days for both sides.

S3: Episode 18 - Roberto to the Rescue 05.04.2026

We're back to cover another tumultuous couple of weeks in North London football as Spurs appoint manager three for the season and Arsenal lick their wounds after Carabao Cup Final defeat. We discuss all the big stories and the difficulties of maintaining your moral compass as a football fan, as well as reminiscing over previous trips to St Mary's.

S3: Episode 17 - Always Meet Your Heroes 16.03.2026

S3: Episode 16 - Mock Tudor 12.03.2026

Comfortably our longest episode to date, but perhaps understandable after a week off and given how much is going on in the world of North London football. We cover Spurs' latest travails in detail while also getting to the heart of why there's so much negativity towards Arsenal and whether Arsenal fans should care.

S3: Episode 15 - Viktory 25.02.2026

It's deja vu all over again as Arsenal once again win the North London derby 4-1, but does the result mean Arsenal have the league sewn up? Or that Spurs are going down? We discuss all the key topics from the game and plenty more besides

S3: Episode 14 - O Captain! My Captain! 10.02.2026

While the weekend's key drama may not have directly involved either side of north London, it certainly had a direct impact on the mood of Arsenal fans. Meanwhile, Spurs fans are coming to terms with the latest act from performance artist and sometime footballer Cristian Romero. We cover all the key talking points and plenty more besides.

S3: Episode 13 - Scorpion 02.02.2026

We're back after a couple of weeks away with plenty to discuss, including Spurs' dramatic comeback and what it means for Arsenal's title challenge, Arsenal recovering from last week's defeat with a resounding victory at Elland Road and lots more besides.

S3: Episode 12 - Cup and Down 15.01.2026

Coming at you in the immediate aftermath of Arsenal's 3-2 EFL Cup first leg victory at Stamford Bridge, we dive deep into that game, Spurs' FA Cup exit, Arsenal's trip to Fratton Park and plenty more besides, including the change to cup-tied rules, service station restaurant options and why players can't resist rowing with fans after games.

S3: Episode 11 - Frank Incenses 06.01.2026

With just the nine games to cover since our last pod, we can be forgiven for a slightly longer than usual episode as we try to pack in reactions to all the festive football, including Arsenal surging six points clear at the top of the table and Spurs sinking to new lows in the entertainment stakes. We cover all that, plus Declan Rice's invaluable contributions, Thomas Frank's job security...

S3: Episode 10 - No such thing as a free scarf 16.12.2025

Arsenal just about manage to tame Wolves, while Spurs can't find their way out of the Forest, we cover both Little Red Riding Hood-themed games and plenty more besides, including festive fixture schedules and if/when Spurs will be looking for a new manager

S3: Episode 9 - Emery's Revenge 08.12.2025

Arsenal's unbeaten run came to a shuddering halt thanks to Emi Buendia's injury-time winner on Saturday, while Spurs finally ended their home game hoodoo with a convincing win over Brentford. We cover both games as well as everything else that's happened since our last pod.

S3: Episode 8 - Eze Does It 24.11.2025

Recorded mere hours after the final whistle blew, we go in-depth to discuss every last detail of a seismic North London Derby that both Ashley and Ricky attended. Just how good were Arsenal? Just how bad were Spurs? And was Richarlison's goal actually the best moment of the game? All this and more are covered in this bumper episode

S3: Episode 7 - Two Twos-Twos 12.11.2025

In this special episode, we take a drive through London while discussing the weekend's North London football, as both sides conceded added-time equalisers.

S3: Episode 6 - Cornered 03.11.2025

While Arsenal cannot stop winning, Spurs' ability to win, score or even create chances came to a grinding halt this week. We discuss the last two weeks of North London football, assess whether it matters that Arsenal seem to have found a way to remove any element of jeopardy from their games and try to get to the bottom of why Spurs are so tough to watch lately.

S3: Episode 5 - Leading Leeds, leading the League 06.10.2025

Both North London clubs ensured they entered the international break in the best possible way with important wins, while results elsewhere meant Arsenal claimed top spot in the table. But Ricky's not printing a gold PL badge on his replica kit just yet, as we discuss both teams' fortunes, midfield dilemmas, striker issues and plenty more besides

S3: Episode 4 - Smash and Gab 02.10.2025

After Gabriel's last ditch winner at Newcastle, Arsenal are officially favourites to win the Premier League, but does Ricky share the bookies' enthusiasm?

S3: Episode 2 - Minor Quibbles 18.09.2025

With both teams winning twice since our lost pod without conceding a goal between them, all looks rosy in North London, but there are still a couple of things to be concerned about. We discuss beating some pretty poor opposition, summer signings bedding in and plenty more besides.

S3: Episode 1 - Ebs and Flow 03.09.2025

We're back! After a summer spent in various exotic locales, it's back to work for your favourite Spurs and Arsenal podcast as we reunite to discuss both teams' starts to the season, transfer windows and plenty more besides, including Spurs' new manager, Arsenal's new-look squad, emotional departures, retro kits and so much more besides in this bumper edition.

S2: Episode 28 - Bilbao-ing out? 23.05.2025

Ange kept his word, but will he keep his job?
