Summary
Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to look back on Arsenal's fairly boring win over Everton on Sunday evening.
Whilst the goal from Leandro Trossard provided a moment of magic for Arsenal, discussions on the game are dominated by the Raya v Rambo debate, the VAR decision to rule out Gabriel Martinelli's goal, and how much time is required to take a corner.
All that plus the snooker, darts, and an audio Mario Balotelli "Why always me?" moment.
Remember, you're only as good as your last pod...

| 0:00.0 | The Athletic. |
| 0:09.7 | The only way to score is, of course, to play with a handbreak-off. |
| 0:17.2 | Hello, I'm Ian Stone. This is Handbrake off the Arsenal podcast brought to you by the Athletic. |
| 0:21.2 | We'll be talking about Arsenal's 1-0 win over Everton at Goodison yesterday. |
| 0:26.0 | One goalkeeper or two and our forthcoming re-entry into the Champions League. |
| 0:30.9 | I'm joined by Adrian Clark and Amy Lawrence. |

| 0:38.1 | But you're in there on merit at the moment, as am I, it seems. |
| 0:42.6 | Never guarantee. |
| 0:43.7 | You're only as good as your last pod, aren't you? |
| 0:46.7 | So, yeah, we've got people pushing for a spot on a Monday. |
| 0:50.5 | We have. |
| 0:52.2 | Anyway, before we talk about the game or certain aspects of the game, |
| 0:56.4 | there was one particular one. There was a very questionable offside yesterday. Gabrielle Magales tried |
| 1:02.0 | to pass sideways. The ball rebounded off of the Everton striker Beto and ran into the path of |
| 1:06.2 | Eddie and Ketia, who was coming back from a marginal offside position. |
| 1:11.4 | We all know what happened after that. |
| 1:14.1 | Yet again, Arsenal seemed to be the team on whom the PGMOL test out their weird and pointless applications of the laws. |
| 1:21.6 | So in the Arsenal equivalent of Mario Ballotelli wearing a T-shirt saying, |
| 1:25.2 | why is it always me? |
| 1:27.4 | Adrian, why is it with Arsenal? |
| 1:29.3 | And what's your most memorable one? |
