Summary

On this week's show I chat with Clive Palmer about the work Unai Emery is doing, from creating a pathway for young players to make it to the first team, to changing the mentality of the players as he looks to build a platform on which to create his own style of play. What are the improvements we've seen so far? And the Spaniard's insistence that there's still plenty more to do is a real positive. Lots of that, some daft waffle, and more.

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

0:27.0

How are you?

0:28.0

Hope you're well.

0:29.0

You've done it. Congratulations. You have made it through yet another interlull.

0:35.0

Two odd weeks without Arsenal. And we still got another few days to go of course because we don't play until Monday night giving us an Arsenal free weekend.

0:47.0

Yeah exactly exactly but we have come through the interlull. That's it until next month's interlull.

0:53.0

You know what I was thinking? We haven't done much have we to try and alleviate the lack of Arsenal during these international breaks.

1:01.0

Like we know they're happening every season they happen at more or less the same time. It's not like one minute you're expecting there to be Arsenal at the weekend and then the next.

1:10.0

Somebody says no it's cancelled because we have to play some international games in the UEFA nations league of countries of nations that are in Europe in UEFA.

1:20.0

So I mean why don't we do something to try and take our minds off the fact that there's nothing to take our minds off the fact that this international football.

1:29.0

Sounds complicated actually now that I've said it out loud maybe we should just carry on just complaining from the sidelines.

1:37.0

I think we all like a good complain every now and again and there's plenty to complain about these days. This of course without question being the single most important issue that the world is dealing with at this moment in time.

1:49.0

I did see though that Gibraltar won their second consecutive UEFA nations league of nations league of gentlemen of countries and nations football thing two games in a row one by Gibraltar.

2:02.0

Like what is the population of Gibraltar?

2:05.0

I'm going to display my ignorance here. If there's any Gibralt teasers out there apologies for not knowing enough about where it is that you live 34,571 holy shit.

2:23.0

That's much more than I thought it was going to be. I was thinking maybe like 400 people.

2:30.0

You know the what are they? Maccax the monkeys those guys I guess that makes a lot more sense though 34,000 much better than whatever I said 400 700.

2:44.0

But it's still quite small in international football terms so for them to win two games on the trot. I mean that is that is some achievement.

2:53.0

It really is. Let's say the the local bar was absolutely hopping after that win. Who did they beat? I don't know Latvia maybe Latvia. No actually just clicking around here it turns out they beat Lichtenstein to one similarly small country.

3:13.0

The bar in Lichtenstein I'd say was not so not so hopping although people might have been in there drowning their their sorrows and look at this actually Gibraltar on Saturday Gibraltar ended a 22 game losing streak in competitive football with a 1-0 nations league win away to an Armenia team captain by Henrik Mikitarian.

3:37.0

I mean that's not great isn't I'm not saying it's down to Mikitarian obviously and his lack of leadership.

3:44.0
