    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.

Arsenal's big gamble + Bartishvili medical & Transfer window review
Q: Hi Charles, do you think Arsenal's window lacked a true game-changer in attack, and what are the chances for January signings given current finances?
The window didn't deliver the eye-catching attacker many hoped for; the club emphasized discipline over big-name risk, with January offering breathing room to reassess and act if the right opportunity arises.
Goodbye Gabi + Timber training & Saliba squad hint
Q: What impact does Martinelli's departure have on Arsenal's attack and transfer strategy?
The host argues that while Martinelli's exit is painful emotionally and historically, it could push Arsenal to strengthen through smarter recruitment and by leveraging internal players stepping up, particularly in goal-scoring and wide positions, though replacements must be found to sustain title-chasing aspirations.
Berta's £125m haul + Villa preview & Arsenal predicted XI
Q: do you agree that the next two games suddenly feel massive with concerns growing about a frustrating window in a weakened attack?
The host responds that every game is important, especially against Villa and Chelsea, and stresses that the window hasn't changed the inherent size of the games; the focus remains on building a strong squad and getting results to improve momentum, while acknowledging that a window with limited attacking additions could amplify fan concern.
Arteta's Alvarez hope + Martinelli exit edges closer
Q: Does the fact that Arsenal are Brazilian-heavy and Alvarez is Argentinian contribute to him not being keen on joining the Gunners?
The host suggests it's not a decisive factor; Alvarez has experienced playing with Brazilians, and the main considerations appear to be family, visas, and a realistic transfer fee. He emphasizes that football fit and personal circumstances likely outweigh simple national-team alignments.
Alvarez latest + £120m Barcola deal & UCL draw imminent
Q: Morning Charles, at this point in time, what do you think the chances are of us managing to sell Gabriel Jesus?
The host argues that Arsenal should lower price expectations to move Jesus, notes Jesus's high wage demands as a major hurdle, and emphasizes that remaining with Arsenal would likely mean limited playing time unless injuries dictate otherwise; a sale hinges on finding a buyer willing to match his wages and a favorable contract situation for Arsenal.
