The Athletic FC Podcast Network.

The only way to score is, of course, to play with a handbreak-off.

Hello, I'm Ian Stone. This is Handbreak-off, the Arsenal podcast, brought to you by The Athletic on Saturday. The Arsenal, Drew 1-1 with

Brentford. And a bit like the podcast last Monday, we're going to reflect on the game and more

importantly, look ahead to the Champions League quarter-finals, second league tie against Rayon,

Madrid. I'm joined by Art de Roche and Adrian Clark. Morning evening.

Afternoon. Afternoon. Oh yeah, that's true. Afternoon. All right. We're doing all three in one go.

Oh my God. Yeah, we will talk briefly about Brentford, but obviously their focus is going to be on Wednesday night.

I mean, obviously, I hope we win. I've never hoped for something as much as this. I mean, obviously, we win.

I've never hoped for something as much as this, I don't think.

Has ever you ever hoped for anything more than this, Adrian?

I mean, I just really, genuinely thinking about it.

It's really, it's hard to think of anything more.

Yeah, I'm not a big sort of hoper. It's not, like, I don't really think about getting stuff or, like, I'm not a big sort of hope. It's not, like I don't really think about

getting stuff or, like, I'm not, no.

Have you seen the Shoreshant redemption?

I have, yeah.

Hope is a good thing.

Possibly the best thing.

Andy Dufrein said that, mate.

Yeah, I get it.

I like it.
