1-0! He's cut inside! Saka! Supplyne finished! He's back for the bang with Bukaiusaka 1-0!

Unbelievable! I know that footballers are supposed to be role models, so I rolled around on the kitchen floor this morning holding my ankle,

but much like Cicado, it did nothing to keep my wife from being mad at me for not taking out the garbage. This is the Arsenal Vision Postmatch podcast. My name's Elisphibblog me on Twitter,

get on the ground by the garbage cans, rolled around, grabbed my ankle, cried a little bit,

shouted out, reached to the stars, help me, help me. And she just walked up to me. And she's like, what are you doing? Why didn't you take the garbage out? I said, but I, I tried and then my ankle, but no, didn't work. Just like with Keisado, didn't work. So I, you know, I also followed his lead, walked around the house, boshing my kids, pushing them down, kick the dog twice. No, I'm kidding.

I wouldn't do those things because I am not, and this is important, like Moises Caicedo, a massive see you next Tuesday. That is not what I am. And neither are you, dear listener. We love you. Thank you for being here. This is going to be an attempt to analyze a game that wasn't much of a game. I will say, I went into the instant reaction last night with Clive and Paul struggling to address it because

all I felt was emotion. Now that the emotion has receded a little bit, hopefully some analysis

can creep in. And that is in fact what we will attempt to do. Just a quick note for you that we finally, finally have some merch. So if you've been saying, gosh, you know, life feels pretty good, pretty good, Arsenal top, the table, top of the championship. I just don't have any AVP merch. Well, we knew that would be a consideration that you'd be worried about it. So you can go to shop. It's our Arsenalvisionpodcast.com and get some.

And then that one concern, the only thing left in your life that you were concerned about, resolved. I am excited to talk about this. I'm excited to talk about the reaction around it. I'm excited to talk about how we could have solved problems better or why we weren't able to solve problems better, where it leaves us. maybe a little peek ahead to Brentford.

It is relentless right now.

But I think we've been handed just a little bit of a gift with a home fixture that we should be able to navigate ahead of another difficult away fixture at the weekend. So the season just, you know, it's not going to let up. They're not just going to give us the title. We're going to have to go earn it, I'm afraid. So let's just jump right in. And we're jumping in with the only man I want to jump in with into his arms and into the discussion is Clyde Palmer. Hello, Clyde. Hello, hello. I want to be wrapped in the warmth of your analysis and cradled by it and educated by it. And I am glad to do that. Let me just start with this, Clive, because I think this is fundamentally the entry point to the conversation.

Do you regard that as a good point or a bad point? I regard it as a good point. I listen to

Tim's voice note from the ground and I understand exactly what you mean. Sometimes you

walk into a place that you just know this is not going to be our day. So how else is going to go?

And it's very hard to write that down and quantify it. But for those that go to games,

particularly away games, you get a feeling sometimes that you can get out of here with something.

It's going to be fine.

You know,

and I think if you look at this this week as a three-game week,

last weekend we had Spurs, massive game for us.
