On the show this week I look at how Arsenal fans online behave in the face of intense provocation, before I chat with Ben from REDaction about the ticket opt-out/boycott they were part of ahead of Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final against Watford. Then, there's some football chat with Julian H from Gingers4Limpar, a chance to win a t-shirt and a print from Art of Football, and all the usual waffle.

In this week's show we look back at the 2-2 draw with Sp*rs in the North London derby. We discuss Francis Coquelin's red card, the selection of Mohamed Elneny in midfield, Danny Welbeck up front, and whether this was a result that we can be pleased with under the circumstances. After that we take listener's questions about the role of supporters, Alexis' body language at the end of the game, team...

In this week's rather grim show, we look back at the defeat at Old Trafford yesterday and talk about what it means for our title challenge, for the players, the manager and the club. What should happen if Arsenal don't win the league this season? More important, what will happen, bearing in mind the board and the owner that make those decisions. We chat about Theo Walcott, possible permutations fo...

We then answer listener questions about Alexis Sanchez; RamCoq in midfield; Barcelona maki...

To look ahead to this weekend's clash with Leicester City I'm joined by former Gunner Adrian Clarke. I ask him how these Leicester players will be feeling, sitting top of the table; what Arsene Wenger's approach to the game will be to try and win but not fall into their counter-attacking trap; as well as what the manager will do in midfield and centre-half where he has selection decisions to make....

We recorded this week's show immediately after the 2-0 win over Bournemouth, so we discuss that, the goals from Ozil and Oxlade-Chamberlain, Flamini's ridiculous challenge, and the ticket price stories at Arsenal and Liverpool this week.

In this injury hit episode I twang some ankle ligaments, wrench a hamstring, pull a calf (muscle, you filthy minded swines), but thankfully have no groin problems to discuss.
