Amy Lawrence and James McNicholas join Ian Stone to discuss Arsenal’s 1-0 win away to Brighton on Wednesday.
The panel reflect on the outside noise surrounding Arsenal, having perspective in relation to the difficult seasons of the past, Gabriel’s immense performance, the midfield duo desperately in need of rest, missing Merino and Odegaard, Saka scoring on his 300th appearance the club, Hincapie getting better with each game, not seeking external validation and the away fans celebrating after news of Man City’s draw came through.
Plus, they look ahead to the match away to Mansfield in the FA Cup on Saturday, respond to some listener messages and we hear from Daniel in Kent in this week’s instalment of Up Your Arsenal.
