Gooners! As pledged, here’s the second half of our Arsenal season review with Elliot. This is the bit with player rankings, transfer talk, squad building debates, off-field chatter, and our overall assessment of an ultimately frustrating season that still showed progress in certain departments.
Thanks for sticking with us this season and we’ll be popping up here and there all summer.
Tap in and UP THE ARSENAL!
It’s time to wrap up (then burn and bury) Arsenal’s 24/25 season, so we asked longtime friend of the pod, Elliot Ross (@elliot__ross on the evil app), to join us for a thorough assessment of the ups, downs, and everything between.
In this first half, we recapped the season (good, bad and ugly), including a deep dive into Myles Lewis-Skelly’s "eventful" season, the team’s tendency to defend well and squander leads, along with a player of the season debate and much more.
Tap in and expect the second half in another day or two. #COYG!

It’s only right to dedicate the first portion of today’s episode to Arsenal’s fantastic 1-0 triumph over Barcelona in the UEFA Women’s Champions League final. 🏆
However, the men also wrapped up their season with a 2-1 victory at Southampton, powered by goals from a departing Kieran Tierney and the captain, which we covered in the second half of the show.
