Hello and welcome to another Ice Block Icecast right here on iceblock.ole.ole.com.

On the eve of the first North London diary of the season, the focus of this particular

Ice Cast will be on that game, but there's other stuff.

Of course, we've had two games of football since then, West Ham and Liverpool, and we'll

be discussing those along with the Spurs game, which is Alberto Silver from GunnarBlog.com,

who will also be telling us about a special project he's been involved in, which you can

find out more about, and which you can look at, on Derby Day itself.

As well as that, R-7R Hawkins is in the house, which is good news.

He's back, Sylvester's here, and I'll be having a conversation with an actual real

like Spurs player, one of their squad, who made some comments during the week, which

really do need some further examination, shall we say.

So since the last Ice Cast and this Ice Cast, things have gone reasonably well.

It could have been better in the league against West Ham on Sunday at 2-0.

That is a game you expect Arsenal to win, especially against a West Ham team that really

didn't look like they were going to cause us too many problems, our ability to let teams

back into the game to gift them goals this season is something to behold.

It's really kind of magical in a non-magical way, well magical in a black magic way, dark

magic, nasty evil magic.

Of the goals we've conceded this season, I don't know, over 50% of them have been down

to either our errors or goal keeping errors.

And it's something we're going to have to address, if you really want to win trophies this

season.
