    Episode 621 - A perilous moment

    In this episode I'm joined by Philippe Auclair to talk about Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Slavia Prague in the Europa League. We discuss a disappointing result, the way game was managed, substitutions, the overall performance, the reaction to going ahead, the late equaliser we conceded, and what it says about these players. We also discuss Mikel Arteta in the context of this game, and broaden the discussion out into where we're going, compromised principles, the need for a plan and identity, how the club have committed to the Arteta/Edu project, and why, if the owners don't get more hands on, the future could be a bleak one for Arsenal.

I would want to be lucid for every single minute…” – Lynsey Hooper • “This country has a unique problem with toxic masculinity.” – Philippe Auclair   Presented and produced by Andrew Harrison.

    Episode 641 - Odegaard back, Arteta backed

    On this week's show I'm joined by Simon Collings of the Evening Standard to talk about the impending signings of Martin Odegaard and Aaron Ramsdale; how the former will provide creative, attacking threat that we need, and what the implications of signing a £24m 'back-up' might be for current number 1 Bernd Leno. We also chat about the need to sell players, how much compromise will be required in the final weeks of the transfer window, and about how the backing Mikel Arteta has been given this season has to start producing results – even if the month of August looks pretty difficult. Then I talk to Philippe Auclair about an article he spent 18 months investigating about the links between the Premier League and potential money laundering via the less than transparent world of online gambling.
