Arsenal thrashed Manchester City on Sunday evening, inflicting one of Pep Guardiola’s worst-ever career defeats. We are left with a few questions. Was this closer than it appeared, or could Arsenal have won by even more? And how can a coach almost universally hailed as a genius send his team out to play such stupid football?

Miguel Delaney and Dion Fanning join us to talk about the transfer deadline developments and the big game of the weekend. Is West Ham a good move for Evan Ferguson? Why are Manchester United letting forwards leave without replacing them? And have Arsenal finally proved the stronger in their two-year struggle with Manchester City?
