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

What a goal! Declan Rice!

We've had an absolute rocket with a free kick. Arsenal League, one-nil. He's cut inside. Saka! Sublime's finish. He's back with a bang with Bukaiusaka 1-0. Unbelievable. Yeah, well, I wasted my Saturday at a dance competition for six-year-old.

No, I'm not talking about Arsenal. This is the Arsenal Vision Post-Match podcast. My name is a big black mentor, Inc. No, it was an actual dance competition for six-year-olds and 10-year-olds, to be fair. My daughters did well. Got Platinum's, very proud of them. Unfortunately, I regret to inform you, I watched the game beforehand. So I am equipped to talk about it.

I wish I wasn't.

It's a really, Unfortunately, I regret to inform you, I watched the game beforehand. So I am equipped to talk about it.

I wish I wasn't. It's a really, really low moment. And all glib humor aside, it is a moment like this where we just tend to tear strips off each other and tear each other part. And I want to say that whether you tend to be more positive in these moments or you tend to gnash your teeth and

want to scream and curse all the players and the manager in these moments, your way of dealing

with it is totally your right and you're entitled to do it. We're all hurting. And so let's all

try to be good to each other and be together, even if we disagree in the manner in which we go about analyzing it, discussing it, or reacting to it emotionally. Because we've all, we're all we've got. As I've said before, McKell will go, these players will go, the leadership will go. We will remain, right? We will remain. We will be the through line to this club. Whether that happens this summer, five summers from now, 10 summers from now, whether we're at a parade in May or we're in the gutter in May, and we might be in the gutter even with the parade. It's also possible. We're the through line, so let's be good to one another. And I'll simply say, I won't plug the fundraiser other than to say, I looked at it, it put a smile on my face, and it reminded me, yeah, the wins and losses are what animates all of this, but I'm really, really lucky to be part of this community. So I'm really lucky to have the three gentlemen here I'm going to talk to. Really lucky to have the friends and I would say family of people that I've gotten to know because of this. And I am no less excited to see people in D.C. on the 25th or see people in London for the Union

Chapel event, no matter what happens. But obviously, obviously, it's a painful moment right

now for us as we confront the reality of what could be really a historic collapse for a team

that we thought was going to deliver a lot of joy for us. So we're going to do our best to break

that down. And I think it's a great moment to have everybody on the pod so we can get a really nice perspective on how everybody's feeling. If we don't say the thing you want to hear today, get in touch and tell us how you're feeling about it. But just do it in a way that gives us an entry point to a discussion, if you can. Okay. Enough throat clearing. Apologies, we're all adults here.

He says, usually not acting like an adult. And here to discuss it with me now, the men I am fortunate to call friends. Tim, hello. Hello, that. Paul, hi. Woo-hoo. Clive, howdy? Hello, hello. I will say that Paul and Scott had to man the instant reaction. I think it's one of the better ones I've listened to.

I think without railing of the better ones I've listened to.

I think without railing, it covered all the issues. I left a solo voice note. Clive left a solo voice note too, so you can hear the immediate emotional reaction to it there. But we're going to try to do a little bit more of an analytical deep dive right now. But I do think it is important to start with the emotions. We are recording this right on the heels of the city game ending and, well, about to be ending. And City 3-0-up as we record it with just moments to go. They look like the best team in England right now, and we certainly don't. I regard this as a low moment of our season. Maybe a low moment of the project feels like a fulcrum moment is coming so clive i just want to get

your thoughts high level on what's gone wrong where where are you psychologically right now in

terms of this season this project this moment how is this hit you where's your emotional barometer yeah you start with the easy ones cl, how has this hit you? Where's your emotional barometer?

Yeah, you start with the easy ones. Clyde, where has this gone wrong?

Where's it all gone wrong, Clive? And how do we fix it? And give me your 10-point plan.

You've got two minutes. So I think, where should we start? I mean, the last three games have been really instructive, really.
