It's Rice. What a goal! Declan Rice!

We've had an absolute rocket with a free kick. Arsenal League, one-nil. He's cutting side. Saka! Sublime's finish! He's back with a bang with Bukaiusaka 1-0. Unbelievable. I'm a stress case at the best at times, so you can only imagine how stressed out I am now trying to figure out how to fit everything into this podcast. This is the Arsenal Vision Postmatch podcast. My name is Elliot Smith. You can buy me on Twitter. Yeah, everything that happened on Saturday, like, that's seven weeks of podcasting. Arsenal, what are you doing to me? What am I supposed to do with this? How am I supposed to cover all this? There's a signing, there's an announcement, there's injuries, there's a win, there's goals,

there's penalties, there's a brace for Yocras, there's a debut for Max. I mean, come on, man,

we're only human. There's city looking not great. There's a lot, a lot to cover. We'll try to cover all of it. And some good breaking

news as we record on Sunday today unusually that Bikaiosaka's injury, not as bad as feared. And we'll

touch on that a minute. I do have to say the instant reaction is so, so interesting yesterday

because the idea behind the instant reaction is to connect to the immediate

emotion. And it was like a descent into madness. We're, we're upbeat, we're excited. And then the

news that McKell says it's a significant injury for Saka. And that had us downbeat and just felt

like went on such an emotional journey with this club and with the events of yesterday. We obviously had Friday night clive on Friday. I think we'll probably get another rewatch opportunity this week. Maybe sneak in a power rankings this week as well. It might be time to have our first early look at that. So if you want to join us over on Patreon, it's AVP 50 as the code, a couple of quid, and you can check it out. You'll have instant reactions at full time of every match, and pretty

soon that'll mean every three days. So hopefully we as podcasters and they as players are ready for that. But you know who's ready for this? It's Tim. Hello, Tim. Hello, Tim. Hello. And Clive, hello, Clive. Hello, hello. So, all right. I think we start at the beginning of the day, and we just try to work through it because that's the only way I can think I'm making this work. We don't often do chronology, but I think chronological is the way to go. So let's start with the as-a thing. And, Clive, I'll just start with you. I wasn't sure the announcement was going to happen. It felt like are they going to be able to get it done? McKellartetti himself said he didn't think they were going to and at the last minute found out they were going to be able to pull it off as they gets to walk out on the Emirates pitch as a 10. It's as beautiful as I ever hoped and dreamt it could be. I loved the let it all work out video that they released.

It just felt like a super pure moment that I kind of had to pinch myself about.

I was on cloud nine about it.

How about you?

Yeah, before the game was in 12 pins and bumped into Charles Watts.

And he said to me, announcement at five,

get there early, mate, get there early.

And I thought, okay.

And that whistled around the pub in no time at all.

And suddenly the pub emptied normally,

much earlier than it normally did.

That was a sign, you know,
