Summary

On this week's show there's a brief recap of the 1-0 win over Qarabag before I chat to Tayo Popoola and Clive Palmer about the Raheem Sterling incident last weekend, the reaction to it from sections of the media both positive and negative, how football can play a role in combating such abhorrent behaviour, the wider societal questions and much more. Then I'm joined by Josh James, co-author of Arsenal: The Complete Record, a fantastic new book which details Arsenal's history in informative and statistical fashion, about putting the book together, some of the great stories and beyond.

1:04.3	a podcast.
1:05.3	We'd already won the group in the Europa League.
1:07.0	We knew we were going to top the group and qualify for the knockout stages.
1:10.8	So it was about the small stories, the little stories, the things that make up the fabric
1:16.2	of a football club and a football team and there were a few of those last night, not least
1:19.9	of which was the return to action for Laurence Shellney after six months out.
1:24.9	I remember that he suffered that terrible Achilles injury in the Europa League semi-final
1:31.2	against Atlético Madrid back in May and I remember at the time I remember thinking
1:36.2	as I saw him on the ground that Diego Costa had done something to him off the ball, Costa
1:42.3	being the big evil brute that he is must have smashed him in the head and we were looking
1:47.2	the other way.
1:48.8	It turns out that the injury was so bad, Costa was actually concerned for another human
