Summary

In this week's show I do my best to keep discussion of Doncaster and West Brom to an absolute minimum, so instead I talk to Rory Smith of the New York Times about a very interesting piece he wrote about Manchester City's Ilkay Gundogan, and his recovery from an anterior cruciate ligament injury. As Arsenal fans we have plenty of experience of injuries, and we expand the conversation to talk about players who are injured, either long-term or with frequency, and what they have to go through during their rehabilitation. Loneliness, self-doubt, pain, discomfort, and the range of opinion when it comes to how they're viewed by fans. We chat about the club's role in their recovery, the mental and physical impacts of injury and lots more.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to a brand new R-Splug R-Skast right here on R-Splug.com. How are you?
0:27.4	I hope you're well. I hope you're recovering from what from what I hear you say. Oh only that midweek
0:34.5	excitement that enthralling edge of your seat gripping adrenaline rushing Caprabo Cup game that we got.
0:40.9	Caprabo Caprabo is actually a chain of supermarkets in Spain. There was one around the corner from
0:48.0	my house when I used to live there. We go to the Caprabo or the the Mercadonna or if you are feeling
0:53.8	really posh and a bit flush you could go to the supermarket in the courting glaze because they've
0:58.7	got really nice stuff. But Caprabo yes it's a supermarket and what I should have said was the
1:02.9	Carabao Cup which of course is not a supermarket chain in Spain at all. It is an energy drink in
1:12.0	somewhere. I should look this up just while we're talking because I don't want to be inaccurate
1:18.5	here. Carabao drink let's have a look is it in Indonesia? Thailand. It's an energy drink made by
1:26.9	Carabao Tawandang which has an estimated 21% market share in 2014. I presume the market share of
1:34.7	energy drinks are not all drinks because that would be that would be a lot. It's half that of the
1:40.4	best-selling drink. Again I assume an energy drink called M-150. We're going big on our energy
1:46.2	drink facts today. Perhaps this might come in useful. You could be in a pub quiz maybe later this
1:52.5	month you're sitting there going wow what was that bullshit on the arsecast and they might say
1:57.6	what is the second biggest selling energy drink in Thailand. That could be one of the questions
2:03.6	and you'll be thinking well holy shit. What a piece of serendipity I heard a podcast exclusively
2:09.4	about this and I know what people want on this podcast at this stage and it is it's energy drink
2:15.2	and some football along the way and we will do we will do some football but it was one of those
2:20.2	games wasn't it the Carabao Cup game against Donkaster Rovers a 1-0 victory for Arsenal. We're into
2:26.2	the next round where we face NARGE but not one of those games where you don't really want to talk
2:31.1	on off a lot about it once it's over. In fact you are while you're watching it willing it to be
