Summary
On this week's show I chat Lewis Ambrose about our 1-0 victory over Sporting in the Europa League, our 11th successive win thanks to Danny Welbeck's goal; the individual performances which caught the eye including Matteo Guendouzi and Rob Holding, as well as the increasing influence of Lucas Torreira; before Lewis gives us some insight into the excellent start Reiss Nelson has made to his loan spell with Hoffenheim.
Then it's Rory Smith of the New York Times to discuss the reaction of some shareholders to the compulsory purchase of their shares by Stan Kroenke and KSE, how it has affected their relationship with Arsenal, as well the wider issues of football club ownership by the extremely wealthy and how we deal with moral quandaries that presents us.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to a brand new R-Splug R-Scast right here on R-Splug.com. |
| 0:27.6 | How are you? |
| 0:28.6 | Hope you're well. |
| 0:29.6 | Quite alright sitting here on Thursday evening recording this not long after our |
| 0:34.8 | 11th straight win in all competitions. |

| 0:42.2 | A 1-0 win away to sporting in Lisbon, a clean sheet away from home and surprisingly to me anyway. |
| 0:50.2 | This apparently was our first ever European win on Portuguese soil. |
| 0:54.6 | So another little feather in the cap for Unai Emmery and his team as they continue this |

| 1:00.9 | It means now that we're top of our Europa League group. |
| 1:03.2 | We've got nine points sporting are on six and in the other game in our group this evening, |
| 1:09.2 | Vorsk Lab beat Karabag 1-0. |
| 1:12.7 | So the Ukrainians went to Azerbaijan and they beat the old carpet baggers there. |
| 1:17.8 | So they've got three points to their name Karabag propping up the group with no points. |
| 1:22.8 | It means that if we win our next game against sporting, which is in the Emirates next month, |
| 1:30.0 | then I think we top the group. |
| 1:31.4 | I don't think there's any way that we can be overtaken because I believe it's head to head |
| 1:35.2 | before you go to gold difference and all that kind of stuff and a sporting of the only team |
| 1:38.9 | that could possibly get the same points total. |
| 1:41.4 | Well then we will go through as as group winners for all the good that that does, I guess. |
