    Excellent, balanced approach. Not a fan-boy or a hater. Reasonable analysis that’s delivered in an entertaining manner. One of the few places to get post-game content. Thx from 🇨🇦

    Hi guys, love you both and really enjoy Charles’ daily updates and your weekly chats together. I’m a slightly older supporter than the pair of you 😁, not sure if that’s the reason for my differing opinion ?? I saw the news conference and heard your question Charles. I have to admit, if felt a little like ‘The Office’ and had me squirming at my desk. So I’m going to have to agree to disregard with you James. Why do we need to know about injuries, the type and duration?? Whatever team we put out,... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Arsenal Press Pass show - With Sam Dean and Simon Collings
Q: What does Mikel Arteta need to achieve at Arsenal to eclipse Wenger as our greatest ever manager?
The panel says a Champions League title alone would not surpass Wenger's legacy. Arteta would likely need several more league titles and a Champions League win, while matching Wenger's broader impact on the club would remain difficult.
The Arsenal Press Pass show - With Sam Dean and Simon Collings
Q: Does this remind you of when, due to injuries, Smith-Rowe was able to force his way into the side and took his chance?
Sam Dean sees a parallel in the possibility that Saka's injury could force Arteta to give Dowman more minutes. He stresses that Dowman is younger, Arsenal have a deeper squad and the Premier League is physically demanding, so the situations differ substantially.
Mikel Arteta press conference reaction - Saka facing two months out
Q: With everything that's happened this season and Vinicius' current form, do you honestly think we should go for him in January? Knowing what you know now, or do you think we've dodged a bullet?
Watts says Vinícius Júnior is a quality player and he had wanted Arsenal to sign him, but thinks a January move is unlikely because the player wants to remain at Real Madrid.
Mikel Arteta press conference reaction - Saka facing two months out
Q: Do you see Mikel changing the formation sometimes now that we are short of wingers? I wonder if we can play a back three when Saliba is back.
Watts says a back three is possible but unlikely because Arteta has consistently preferred a back four, even when Arsenal have had injuries.
Everton preview and Arsenal predicted XI + Arteta's Dowman comments
Q: Could Saka's injury have been avoided if Arsenal had rotated him more or managed his workload differently?
Watts says greater depth on the right could have reduced Saka's minutes, but the cause of this particular injury is uncertain and Arteta said it is difficult to know what might have contributed.
