Let's not forget, we did win! Tabs is joined by Ian (@ArseCannonPics) to dissect Arsenal’s scrappy 2–1 win over Wolves at the Emirates. Despite frustration at the performance, two own goals secured the points and reminded us that champions often grind out results even when below par. The pair reflect on the highlights and lowlights, including Ben White’s injury setback, the passive spell that led to Wolves’ equaliser, and the curious lineup choices with Hincapié at left‑back and Odegaard left on the bench. They debate Martinelli’s struggles against low blocks, Madueke’s absence, and the need to rediscover intensity. The episode closes with a look ahead to Saturday’s late kickoff away at Everton in their new stadium.
