    Delighted to see this podcast back.

    The journalists on it often have insight into the club that I don’t get anywhere else.

    They haven’t released an episode for

    six months and I am pleased it is back.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Kai's the Limit
Q: Is Havertz firmly established in a key role after his goal and impact?
Yes, Havertz is showing versatility and chemistry with the rest of the attack, particularly with Odegaard, and Arteta seems intent on maintaining continuity to maximize his contribution in upcoming Champions League games.
The Kai's the Limit
Q: What was it like inside the stadium for the Chelsea-Arsenal clash?
It was a brilliant, end-to-end atmosphere with a responsive crowd; even when Arsenal went behind, the energy stayed positive and the team delivered a strong response, reflecting the atmosphere's lift from winning the title.
To the Viktor Go the Spoils
Q: Where do you see Havertz vs Gyökeres starting on Friday, given the Community Shield performance and the different roles they could play?
Havertz is likely to start, especially in a game of this magnitude, with Gyökeres providing impact as a dynamic option off the bench or in select matches; Arteta seems to favor Havertz in the big games while Gyökeres earns his spot through consistent performances.
To the Viktor Go the Spoils
Q: Simon, do you think it purely was last year because it was an injury-hit campaign, or do you think there were questions about his influence on the Arsenal team and his ability as well?
Injuries significantly limited Odegaard's game time last season, which masked his true influence; with a fitter squad around him and a deeper midfield, he could be central to Arsenal's attacking balance and creativity this season.
