Welcome to the two Robbie's podcast as presented by Land Rover on NBCSports.com. I'm Robbie Hill'all. I'm joined by my old sparring partner, Robbie Mustow, to take a look back on the weekend's action. All right, Mustie, I'm going to kick the conversation off with the Emirates, Arsenal. An important win over City. Were you impressed with the gunners, mate? Where did you see this one-one? Yeah, I thought it was a really good game, actually, and I thought Arsenal, I guess,

0:59.4

just kind of overlooking, first of all, Rob, I thought Arsenal looked like a team that's ready

1:03.9

to win the league. I just think they've got a lease now. There's a change. I thought it was a pretty

1:08.9

solid performance. I thought it was fairly similar in the first half. Both teams are not very good at winning the ballback. So they kept possession. They had their moments of possession. But when the possession was with Arsenal, I just thought they looked more dangerous. You know, city, we know about company missing. I thought they looked more vulnerable at the back than Manchester City were. So, you know, all the things that we talked about, Robbins football show, about the two robies football show, about different matchups. You asked about who do you prefer of this player to that player. And most of those came out, I think we agreed, that Arsenal had the better of most of those matchups. We absolutely saw it today, and Arsenal deserved to win the game. Yeah, I'll tell you what I was very impressed with today, Rob, Matthew Flamini, who we've thought maybe is he on his last legs, has he got the athleticism? He was a central guy who bossed the game, who ordered people around, who got people doing their job today, when Aaron Ramsey was a little bit more adventurous than I thought he would be.

2:01.3

Now, maybe there was a sense in Arsenal that City weren't at the races.

2:05.6

They could go and get a third.

2:07.1

But when the game was in the balance at 2-0, it was a matter of, you know,

2:11.2

Arsenal were pushing for a third when maybe at that time I wondered whether they'd be

2:15.3

better sitting in keeping what they have.

2:17.5

I just wonder, Rob, down the road,

2:20.0

do Arsenal still want to win this thing as a thing of beauty

2:23.2

or can they sort of sit on a 2-0 and say,

2:26.7

you know what, that's enough, two goals is enough and we'll keep it clean?

2:30.5

I think whichever way that you think they'll go,

2:33.1

I think as now there's more motivation in Arsenal than any other team to win the league.

2:41.0

I just think they've got more desire, Rob.

2:42.9

It's been a longer time.

2:44.0

But that's a turnaround for you, Mr. Stead.

2:46.0

That's a turnaround for you, musty, isn't it?

2:47.1

And I think now they believe they beat United, they beat City, they beat Leicester as well,
