🎧 Episode 133 — “Hammered: Gunners Go Top ”

Arsenal hit the summit after dismantling West Ham — and the lads are loving it. Gav, Ells and Jus are back together to unpack another dominant win, the injury that dampened it, and the performances that defined it.

They dig into Odegaard’s setback, Declan Rice’s ice-cold goal against his old club, and the ongoing VAR farce that somehow finds new lows every week. Saka’s penalty, finishing frustrations, and the growing confidence around Calafiori all get their moment too.

In part two, attention turns to Arteta’s 300th game, Saka’s 200th Premier League appearance, and what those milestones say about the club’s evolution. The panel debate whether this is already the best Arsenal team of the modern era, touch on new contract talks for Rice and Timber, and celebrate the leadership core taking shape in North London.

Plus: a whip-round of Premier League results, another chaotic VAR segment, and an honest look at the upcoming international break — from injuries to England’s new direction under Tuchel.

It’s another lively, informed, and unfiltered episode of The Non-Negotiables.
Top of the league. Arsenal are flying.
