| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Arsenal Women Askcast on AskBlog.com with me, your host, Tim Stillman, looking back on Sunday Subway League Cup quarterfinal win over Crystal |
| 0:22.3 | Palace at Sutton United. Another marathon for me. I went to the men's game away at Everton |
| 0:29.5 | on Saturday evening, got a bus at midnight from Liverpool, got to London, Victoria in central |
| 0:36.1 | London just before 7am, had a copy and something |
| 0:39.3 | to eat, and then went straight to Sutton to cover the game. So I did it on no sleep till |
| 0:44.5 | Sutton, for those of you who recognise the Beastie Boys reference. But anyway, here to discuss |
| 0:51.6 | that on almost certainly our last podcast of 2025, as ever, |
| 0:56.4 | our co-host Jamie Spanger from I presume Sunny Melbourne. |
| 0:59.9 | How are you doing, Jamie? |
| 1:01.9 | Tim, I'm good. |
| 1:03.0 | I can't believe 2025 is drawing to a close. |

| 1:39.7 | So I was away like Tuesday to Thursday, came back, had one day, and then basically lost my whole weekend. |
| 1:45.4 | And like, when you miss a night's sleep, it's really discombobulating. I've just been like, I've been the whole day. I've been like, oh, yeah, it's Monday, isn't it? And like, and yeah, obviously going into that time of year where it's going to lose even more meaning now. And particularly, like with the men's schedule it's just going to be like oh god and usually i do my like weekly column |
| 2:04.2 | for the site on a Thursday and that's Christmas day. So how am I going to do that? And the men's schedule is so insane. Like we're looking at when we're going to record podcasts and stuff. And yeah, it's just just like the general insanity of Christmas. |
