However, Luke and Marcus are here to try to make sense of that Aston Villa comeback and in particular Jhon Durán’s quite remarkable equaliser. They also take some time to explain why Spurs shouldn’t bother trying to let Man City win and the reasons none of us should be scared of Chris Wilder. Come join us for the ride!

It’s all going down to the final day. Fulham’s kite training didn’t work after all. 

Marcus, Jim, Vish and Andy wave farewell to Burnley and Luton Town, who exited the Premier League more quickly than Casemiro exited his own penalty area. Meanwhile, Marcus and Jim tell everyone about their magical time at Craven Cottage and – suddenly – Crystal Palace are the most exciting team in the league. Blimey! 

There’s also the small matter of the title race and – speaking of the best – it’s high time for a Phil Neville update…

Marcus and Luke are back with the second edition of Lions Watch before Euro 2024! This week, they react to the news that a creaky Harry Maguire might be even more creaky come June: that’s because he reportedly won’t be fit for the FA Cup final.

After the battle between England’s young midfielders on Monday night left people clamouring for Adam Wharton, Marcus and Luke debate who joins Rice and Bellingham in midfield – and why it might be time for Southgate to (gasp) experiment a little bit. Plus, it’s Michael Owen’s turn on The Take Thermometer! I wonder how he got on…

Arsenal star Jorginho believes Mikel Arteta is doing an amazing job at the club, and the Gunners gaffer deserves to stay at the helm for the long term.

Arteta has transformed Arsenal into title challengers again following years of mediocrity in the final seasons of Arsene Wenger and Unai Emery.

Before Emery left the club, the culture at the Emirates was poor, and mediocrity was allowed to prevail.

However, when Arteta arrived, he initiated a campaign to rid the team of bad influences and gradually changed the club’s culture to one of excellence.

With two games left in the season, Arsenal still has a chance to win the Premier League, thanks to Arteta’s remarkable work.

Arsenal Women and Lionesses’ formidable defender, Lotte Wubben-Moy, has earned a well-deserved nomination for the prestigious Barclays Women’s Super League Player of the Season accolade.

Throughout the current campaign, 25 year old Lotte has showcased her defensive prowess in 18 WSL appearances, triumphing in 13 matches while maintaining five clean sheets and netting a goal.

Notably, her offensive contributions have surged, evident in her record-breaking 134 progressive passes this season, marking a career high. Furthermore, her defensive performance has soared to new heights, evidenced by an increased number of tackles and blocks compared to her previous WSL campaigns.

Lotte played her way into Arsenal Women’s starting XI, after the departure of Brazilian centre-back, and the unfortunate ACL injury suffered by Lioness captain and Arsenal centre-back, Leah Williamson. Lotte has also played her way into Sarina Wiegman’s Lionesses starting XI, scoring the opener in the Lionesss 5-1 romp over Italy in February.

Lotte is also very active in the Arsenal community and received a fitting tribute, on International Women’s Day, where a vibrant mural showcasing the achievements of the Arsenal and England defender was revealed, when she visited her alma mater, Born and raised in East London, Lotte Wubben-Moy met pupils and engaged in a spirited football session alongside girls at Olgar Primary School in Bow.

The Arsenal manager recently discussed how Jurgen Klopp and his former mentor, Pep Guardiola, have served as sources of inspiration for him in his quest to bring his team back to the top.

He credits the two with being the driving force behind his success in leading Arsenal back to the top and challenging for trophies. As for him, feeling the pressure to compete with the two top coaches and wanting to come out on top has kept him going. He is determined to lead Arsenal to Premier League glory, a feat that the club hasn’t achieved in the past two decades.

“It’s a challenge, but at the same time, it’s very inspiring,” Arteta said about his firecest rivals. “When you have two of the best managers in the world [Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp] with two huge clubs, competing and facing them in their eyes and willing to be better than them, you learn from it.

“You challenge yourself and seek excellence because it’s the only way to try to beat them.

“We are so lucky that we are fighting to win major trophies. The outcome is going to be decided by small details, but with that journey, you have to really embrace and enjoy the moment.

Kieran Tierney insists he has no hard feelings towards Mikel Arteta, despite being dropped from the Arsenal team.

When Tierney first joined Arsenal, he was considered one of the best left-backs in the Premier League, and he was also useful to Arteta when the manager first joined the club.

However, Arteta wanted an inverted full-back, and Tierney struggled to adapt to the new demand.

When Arsenal secured Oleksandr Zinchenko’s signature, it marked the end of Tierney’s time at the club.

After spending most of last season on the bench, the defender is now on loan at Real Sociedad for this season.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou is focused on his team winning their remaining games of the season, even though that could help make Arsenal the champions of England.

Spurs are struggling to secure their return to the Champions League next season, and they must be perfect for their remaining matches of the campaign, including their game against Manchester City.

If they win or draw that match and Arsenal wins their remaining games of the season, the Gunners could be champions.

Having Arsenal celebrate winning the Premier League title in North London is not what Tottenham fans want, but they also need to beat City for their own good and Postecoglou said, as quoted by the Daily Mail:

‘I don’t give up on anything, I’m fighting tooth and nail every single day for everything I can get for this football club because that’s my responsibility.

Arsenal will need help from their fierce rivals, Tottenham, if they are to win the Premier League title this season.

Tottenham will face Manchester City in the penultimate game of the season at home, and if they can take points off the Citizens, Arsenal will be in a position to clinch the title, provided they win their remaining league games as well.

However, the Lilywhites are also aiming to qualify for the Champions League at the end of this season, which adds a layer of complexity to the situation. They need to win the game against Manchester City.

This puts Tottenham in a dilemma as they must decide whether they want to win and secure Champions League qualification, potentially helping Arsenal win the Premier League, or if they want to play in the Europa League to prevent Arsenal from winning the title.

But Troy Deeney insists that Spurs should want to help Arsenal become champions. He writes in The Sun:

Paul Merson is baffled that Bukayo Saka was not nominated for the Player of the Season award in the Premier League this term.

The nominees were recently revealed, and while two Arsenal players were picked, Saka was notably absent from the list.

Despite Saka’s recent struggles to find consistent form, Arsenal has remained in fine form as a team.

While it is difficult to pick only one or two players from the Gunners to challenge for the award, Saka seems to deserve a nomination based on his overall performances this season.

After seeing the list, a baffled Merson said, as quoted by Metro Sport:

Newcastle United has shown interest in signing Aaron Ramsdale since he lost his first-team place at Arsenal.

Some reports even suggested that he might join them in the last transfer window, but Arsenal had no interest in losing their second-choice goalkeeper midway through the season.

Ramsdale has remained as the backup goalkeeper, and he is now widely expected to leave at the end of this season.

Arsenal will not stand in his way if he wants to leave, and Newcastle is looking to add him to their squad.

According to a report on Team Talk, in recent days, the Magpies have stepped up their interest in his signature and are looking to sign him at the end of the season.

Manchester City star Josko Gvardiol has admitted that they discuss Arsenal’s goal difference in the dressing room, knowing it could be the deciding factor in the title race.

Arsenal has been in fantastic goalscoring form in the Premier League this season and they had the most goals in the league before Manchester City’s 4-0 win against Fulham this afternoon.

Although Manchester City now have the most goals in the league, Arsenal still maintains a better goal difference, thanks to their fantastic defensive form.

After the win against Fulham, which took them back to the top of the Premier League, Gvardiol said, as quoted by the Daily Mail:

‘We just need to be focused on ourselves and keep going that way. Of course we talk about it [goal difference] and as you can see we are trying to get there. But it is not easy, Arsenal have quality as well.’

Arsenal is stepping up its efforts to improve its squad at the end of this season with newer and better players.

The Gunners deserve a lot of credit for how they have been spending money on good signings over the last few seasons.

This strategy has been a key factor in their recent success, and Mikel Arteta’s side is keen to continue improving its options.

At the end of this season, they are looking to add several fresh recruits to their squad to make it even better, and one of their potential targets is Nico Williams.

The Spaniard has been one of the most exciting wingers in Europe over the last few seasons, and he could add significant value to the Arsenal team.

“We’ve just beat Chelsea 5-0. Shall we take this upstairs?” Marcus, Luke, Pete and Vish react to a demolition job at the Emirates and some extremely intimate celebrations for the Arsenal fans.

Elsewhere, the Ramblers show their support for Gary Neville being taken to task, even if Nottingham Forest are still embarrassing. Speaking of which, Luke also gives his thoughts on Erik ten Hag’s latest press conference. Plus, Marcus prepares to honour Bruce Forsyth live at The London Palladium!
