That's the question Luke, Jonny and Jim kick off with on today's pod. Were the margins this tight in our title-winning seasons gone by? Or are we riding our luck?

We discuss the enormous positives of a big win against Chelsea – while also asking how Mikel Arteta and his players can stop losing control of games.

Plus, William Saliba enrages a ballboy in our new favourite moment of the season, St Totteringham's Day is here, and we look ahead to Brighton – with our secret weapon in tow...

Another great home win for the Gunners, but we STILL found a way to make it difficult for ourselves as the game dragged on. Let's try and focus on those three points!

Laura and Jim grab the mics shortly after full-time with their mixed feelings, where some awesome first-half work was undone by a lapse in concentration and our level of control crumbled as the second half went on.

After an incredibly favourable draw presumably because of threats from Martin Keown, Arsenal have got a golden opportunity in the Champions League – and Man City have a potentially hellish month and a half ahead. Laura, Jim and Jonny discuss the ramifications of today's draw!

We also look ahead to Chelsea (again) on Sunday. How will Mikel Arteta spring a surprise on Liam Rosenior? We also discuss the club's very positive financial results this week, and why the season ticket price hike looks even worse. Plus, a Gooner in San Diego tells us that his local Arsenal bar is run by... a Spurs fan?!

On today’s episode of About AWFC, Laura is joined by a very special guest: Rachel O’Sullivan from Upfront and GirlsOnTheBall! Together, they’re stepping back and looking at Arsenal’s season so far.

What’s been behind our incredible month? Has Renée Slegers benefited from a lack of time to overanalyse and over-tinker?

They discuss the present and future of Beth Mead, our recent masterclasses in defence, and ask the defining question of a topsy-turvey campaign: what constitutes success this season for Arsenal?

For more on the WSL and beyond from Rachel, you can listen to Upfront right here!

Laura, Jim and Sam are high on M&Ms and Rio as they further digest yesterday's North London derby. There's lots of appreciation for Eberechi Eze's (confirmed) Booker T tribute and Gabriel's relentless tormenting of Richarlison.

Plus, a listener has a psychic birthday cake, we take a closer look at the 10-game run-in, and has Sol Campbell turned into AI? Come join us!

EZE! GYÖKERES! ANOTHER 4-1?! Luke, Jonny and Jim are together in the studio to celebrate the North London derby we were all hoping for.

They discuss Eberechi Eze's stunning performance, Viktor Gyökeres's new position and literally smashing finishes, and David Raya's enormously comforting hands.

Come relive it all. Up the Gun!

Laura, Jim and Sam reconvene after a torturously long past two days for some much-needed debriefing. What did the draw with Wolves tell us about our style this season? Has Mikel Arteta's obsession with control gone too far? And when will Viktor Gyökeres just start... shooting more?

We look ahead to the North London derby and discuss how fans and players alike need to approach a (very) emotional occasion. Plus, we celebrate the official news: Bukayo Saka has signed the dotted line for another five years!

There's no other way to say it: this was an almighty bottling. And of course, it came on a rain-soaked, sleet-battered Wednesday night at Wolves.

Laura and Jonny try to figure out just what happened and whether this was just many, many problems for Mikel Arteta and this squad finally coming home to roost. They also reflect on what it means for our season more broadly and Jonny gives some invaluable advice for all Arsenal fans going into work tomorrow: avoid EVERYONE.
