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

Hello, I'm Ian Stone, and this is Handbrake-Off of the Arsenal podcast, brought to you by The Athletic.

We're coming to you the morning after our second team got beaten by Brighton's second team in the Do We really have to play this Carabelle Cup third round time?

We're joined by James McIllis and Art de Roche. Morning chaps. Good morning. Morning.

Morning. I should say at this point that I met Art for the first time ever last night,

in the flesh. In the flesh. I've obviously seen each other through a screen and he's wider than I

thought he would be, James. I'll be honestly. He's wider. I don't know why I thought he was less

wide but he's wider. Well, he's three- thought he was less wide, but he's wider.

Well, he's three-dimensional for one.

That's what it was. That's what it was. I got art in the full HD last night, which was great.

Now, yeah, Carabar Cup third round tie, really felt almost pointless in a lot of ways.

Not completely, which we'll get into. But we thought before we start, name a more pointless thing that you've watched in a third round Carabal Cup tie. Bear in mind,

by the way, at this point, unless you're in the stadium, you literally couldn't have watched it

because the best team in the country at the moment and one of the best teams in Europe were not

broadcast by anyone. That tells you a lot about what people think about the Carabal Cup third round.

What's a more pointless thing that you've watched

than the third round Carabar Cup tie out?

I'm not sure about watched,

but if we're going quite recent,

there have been days where I've probably spent hours

playing Ultimate Team on FIFA.
