Summary
On this week's show I'm joined by James Benge of Football London to discuss Arsenal players voting for captain, is this Unai Emery being indecisive or cleverly inclusive in his decision making? We also chat about the midweek game against Forest, the returns of Rob Holding, Hector Bellerin and Kieran Tierney, as well as Lucas Torreira's best position and Granit Xhaka. Then we get a Man Utd perspective ahead of the trip to Old Trafford on Monday with Musa Okwonga, chatting Solksjaer, the Glazers, midfield woes and lots more besides.
Follow James: @jamesbenge
Follow Musa:@Okwonga & @stadio

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to a brand new R-Splog, R-Scast right here on R-Splog.com. How are you? Hope |
| 0:27.8 | you're well. Thank you for being here as always. We're heading into an Arsenal free weekend. Yeah, |
| 0:33.9 | that's right. Because of TV. We're not playing until Monday night when we go to Manchester to |
| 0:40.2 | Old Trafford to take on Man United. We will be getting a Man United perspective on things a little |
| 0:47.0 | bit later on in the show. So stick around for that sort of crossover Manchester United Arsenal |
| 0:54.0 | chat with Musa Aquanga, who of course has been on the show before. So we'll be chatting to Musa a |
| 0:59.9 | bit later on. We will of course have lots of Arsenal chat as well. I'll be speaking to James |
| 1:05.8 | Benj in a few minutes time, lots to get through with him, including the captaincy, whatever might |
| 1:10.6 | happen there. Of course, because the players have all made a vote. That was the story they've all had |
| 1:15.5 | a vote on who might become captain or who's going to be part of the captaincy group for Unai Emery. |
| 1:20.8 | What's going to happen is they're going to take the votes. They're going to tally the votes and |
| 1:24.5 | in a sort of proportional representation style, they're going to whittle them down to about 10. |
| 1:30.2 | From there, they're going to set up a committee. And the committee is going to sit and discuss |
| 1:36.2 | at length each candidate for the captaincy. The committee is called the captaincy remit advisory |
| 1:42.7 | project or crap for short. Then at some point in the next six to eight weeks, they will make a |
| 1:50.3 | recommendation to Unai Emery, who will then take it to the football executive committee at the club |
| 1:56.6 | Raul Senyahi, per murder sacker, edu, Josh Kronke will be involved there. And they'll have a massive |
| 2:04.6 | board meeting about who is going to be in the captaincy group. In the end, Raul will say |
| 2:12.0 | Unai make up your mind. And Unai will then go back to the players and have another vote. |
| 2:19.4 | By this time next year, we will absolutely know who is one of our five captains, at least one. |
| 2:26.6 | That's guaranteed. So it's going to be fun to see how all that plays out. But it has been a good |
| 2:33.4 | week. It's been a really good week. From a football point of view, you know, on the pitch, |
