| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Arsenal Women AskCast on Ask blog.com with me your |
| 0:17.7 | host Tim Stillman. Massive game at the Emirates on Saturday. It looks like at the time we're recording there's only there were only about 100 tickets left so surely this must be a sellout. I think we fell about 200 tickets short of selling out against Chelsea in the WSL in December so hopefully a sell out. |
| 0:37.1 | However, you know more importantly just a massive massive game for Arsenal and Manchester United in the race for Champions League qualification and probably |
| 0:46.7 | two teams who quite similarly not having the seasons they really wanted so far and a lot riding on this game. |
| 0:54.0 | And to look ahead to this game, I thought we'd get a little bit of the Manchester United |
| 0:58.0 | perspective. So I'm delighted to be joined by Connor Roberts from the All for United Women YouTube channel. |
| 1:04.7 | Connor, thanks for joining us. |
| 1:06.0 | No, whereas at all, thanks for having me on. |
| 1:09.2 | I've been saying to everybody, I'm so excited and so nervous at the same time for this because there's so much riding on this game |

| 1:24.4 | criticism for coming on the show with me from other United fans. |

| 1:39.5 | kind of brothers slash sisters in arms in terms of not having the seasons they really wanted to. |
| 1:46.0 | They both started the season by not getting into the Champions League group stage because of Paris-based teams. |
| 1:52.0 | You know, there's been a lot of turnover at both teams. |
| 1:57.7 | Both teams had very busy summers kind of in and out, losing players they didn't want to lose |
| 2:02.1 | but bringing in big players and I guess |
| 2:05.2 | the principal difference between the two teams is at the beginning of the season |
| 2:09.1 | both managers had a year left on their contracts. |
| 2:12.0 | Arsenal opted to extend the owner side of ours and kind of have that certainty and stability, I guess. |
| 2:18.0 | Manchester United haven't done the same with Mark Skinner. |
| 2:21.0 | And we might come on to Mark Skinner more specifically in a moment |
