Summary

On today's show I chat with James from Gunnerblog about the arrival of new goalkeeper Bernd Leno, the departure of Jack Wilshere, our transfer business in general, and the changes at coaching level – including the retention of Steve Bould as one of Unai Emery's assistants. Then it's World Cup and specifically Iceland's involvement with ‪@Antonstotle‬. He talks about what it means to see them there, how such a small nation has made such great leaps, and we touch on the campaign so far, especially after their amazing draw with Argentina in the opening game.

There's been some good var and there has been some bad var.

Today I was watching Australia versus Denmark.

0:55.9

Denmark were a goal up Christian Ericsson scored a very good goal for them, but then Australia

1:01.2

got a penalty off the back of a var referral.

1:05.2

I don't think it was a penalty.

1:07.9

Sorry Australian listeners, I'm glad you got a draw on everything else, but I think this

1:12.8

is one that var got wrong.

1:14.6

When the var got wrong, the referee who watched the replay, I think he got it wrong.

1:20.4

But without var in the first place, he would have just carried on the game and been

1:24.2

1:27.1

Now we have seen var write some wrongs in this tournament so far and I think that is the

1:32.1

plus side of it.

1:33.6

That is where the advocates of var can say, look, the game wasn't really interrupted, the

1:37.8

flow wasn't really interrupted and the decision was right.
