Weekend Review: The night is darkest before the dawn

About this episode

The hosts review recent Arsenal matches and discuss various topics related to the team and its fans.

Today's title is a real quote from a Greek philosopher who was also an Arsenal fan, by the way. Title race in circa 56 BC. Laura, Jim and Lucy gather to do the only logical thing at a time like this: talk about Samir Nasri's Deliveroo orders in 2022. They also discuss some game that happened on Saturday and another one that happened on Sunday involving two teams in blue kits, one of which caused Lucy to swear at a child. Plus, we look ahead to Sporting and what it could mean for the biggest week of our season (again). Find us on  YouTube ,  X ,  Instagram , and  TikTok .
