This is the Arsenal Vision post-match podcast. My name's Elliot Smith. You can block me on Twitter, Yankee Gunner. Yeah, look, we have each other. We have each other. And maybe that's really what this has always been about, each other. Because the football, yeah, overrated, if you ask me, I think we can probably all agree that having each other, having the community,

having this chance to engage in whatever this is what we're doing is wonderful.

1:02.4

And then, you know, the football comes around not so much.

1:04.3

So Friday we did a pre-match live stream.

1:07.7

What a joy that was.

1:09.1

Fun, people in the chat, joking around. We're predicting

wins. We're talking about who the players of this season are going to be. We're all laughing. We're smiling. We're playing the Clive video. We're playing Paul's new video that Eddie Longbridge made was just like a drawing of some toothpaste and a silly song and a stick figure. It's great. Everybody's great. And then, you know, we all sign off that. Talk to you after the game. and then the game happens. And you're like, what is this shit? So I don't know, man. We're going to get through this together one way or the other. The good news is it gets much easier from here with Chelsea and City next. So we're going to have a lot of fun today talking about the fall of our beautiful club. No, we're going to try to keep it as light as we can, but these are serious times. So I hope that what everybody can do is recognize that we all engage with hard times differently. Paul and I, on the instant reaction pod, you know, and Clive, Paul very much expressed different kinds of emotions than the rest of us we're feeling.

1:59.5

Hello, Tim.

2:00.2

Hello there.

It's funny because in this little chat window we have, it says the Tim.

And because I will read anything that's in the prompter, I almost said the Tim, because I am literally just like Ron Burgundy from Ancerman. It is a rebrand. New season, new brand, so yeah. New brand. The Tim, the Smith, the shit we watched on Friday night. I'm going to start with you, Tim, just for a second. And then we're going to get to a sort of special segment that we've carved out today just for the circumstances that we're confronted with. But you did go to the game. And it's, you know, one of things Paul expressed in the instant reaction pod that I think, you know, some people couldn't necessarily connect with was that was fecking brilliant, as he said, right? Like, that's football. It's back. And I understand
