Hello there, welcome to a brand new R-Splug R-Scast right here on R-Splug.com.

How are you?

Hope you're well.

It's a little bit different.

The podcast schedule is different obviously because we played in the Europa League last night.

We beat Cologne 3-1, but that in itself wasn't the big story.

What happened before the game?

Inside the stadium?

Outside the stadium?

During the game with fans, with tickets, with stewarding, with policing?

Well, that was unusual to say the least.

It's been a very long time since we've seen scenes like that at Arsenal, and I don't think

we've ever seen anything like it in the Emirates era.

So we're going to try and examine it from the various viewpoints, from Arsenal fans'

point of view, from the Cologne point of view, from people who were inside the stadium and

outside the stadium.

We'll touch on a bit of the football as well because obviously it was a good win in

the end.

A 3-1 win, a bad first half, but a good second half, some good goals and some positives to

take from that.

Obviously, there's a game against Chelsea coming up this weekend and we'll try and touch

on that one as well.
