Summary
This is a bit of a strange one: the last ever Arsecast with Arsene Wenger as manager. He's been a constant throughout the lifetime of this show, so I chat with James from Gunnerblog about that, this long goodbye we've had with him, some typically wonderful press conference stuff from the boss, and what comes next.
Then I chat with writer Tom Williams about his excellent new book 'Do you speak football?'. This is a glossary of football words and terminology from around the world. How many different ways can you say nutmeg? Why is a clean sheet unique to English? And what on earth is a BATTLE PIG? Find out more in the show. There's also a final farewell to a long time Arsecast character, not so regular anymore, but he pops in at the end to say his goodbyes.

| 1:02.9 | He has always been the manager of Arsenal as long as I've been doing a podcast. |
| 1:09.6 | It's always been his team selection. |
| 1:11.4 | It's always been his transfers. |
| 1:13.0 | It's always been his tactics. |
| 1:14.6 | It's always been him. |
| 1:18.0 | And for the very last time with Arsene Venger as manager, I'm sitting down to talk into |
| 1:23.6 | a microphone to spout the usual nonsense and waffle that I have done for the last nearly |
| 1:30.3 | 12 years. |
| 1:32.3 | And it feels strange. |
| 1:33.7 | I know it's the end of a season and that usually results in a bit of downtime or things |
| 1:38.3 | not being as hectic as they normally would be. |
| 1:42.0 | And it's the end of a season is a time for change in many respects. |
| 1:46.6 | It's when you say goodbye to players. |
