Handbrake Off - A show about Arsenal The Athletic

Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone, having rung out their clothes, to discuss Wednesday night's all out attack 4-0 victory over PSV.
This week the spotlight falls on Gabriel Jesus, Martin Odegaard, and William Saliba for their contributions to the night's events.
The panel talk about keeping the dressing room happy - especially in light of the David Raya/Aaron Ramsdale situation.
And there's the small matter of a North London Derby coming up on Sunday so the team look ahead to that.

Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to look back on Arsenal's fairly boring win over Everton on Sunday evening.
Whilst the goal from Leandro Trossard provided a moment of magic for Arsenal, discussions on the game are dominated by the Raya v Rambo debate, the VAR decision to rule out Gabriel Martinelli's goal, and how much time is required to take a corner.
All that plus the snooker, darts, and an audio Mario Balotelli "Why always me?" moment.
Remember, you're only as good as your last pod...

There’s no doubt that Bukayo Saka is Arsenal and England’s starboy. The individual accolades have been piling up ever since his name first cropped up on the teamsheet. Listed for the FIFA Golden Boy Award in 2021, he is the back to back England Men’s Player of the Season, twice he has been awarded Arsenal Men’s Player of the Season, he's the PFA Young Player of the Year for 2022-23, and now FIFA Balon d'Or nominee 2023. In short the 22 year old’s career is on the up and up.

Over the course of this podcast The Athletic looks back on Saka’s brief story so far. Topics include first impressions of Bukayo as a boy, his values, how a player goes from the Academy to professional player, comparisons with Arsenal legend David Rocastle, the aftermath of the Euro 2020 Final, and what his future holds.

You will hear from former players Ian Wright and Adrian Clarke, Saka’s former coaches Greg Lincoln, Stephen Morrow, Andries Jonker, Arsenal administrator Lynn Chaney, and The Athletic’s Amy Lawrence and James McNicholas.

Get ready to fall in love a little more with the Starboy.
