Summary

On this week's show some reflections on what has been a difficult week on and off the pitch, and even among fans as we all get tarnished with an unfair brush after the Granit Xhaka incident and some other unsavoury behaviour. Then it's Liverpool 5-5 Arsenal, with Charles Watts, looking at the positives like Gabriel Martinelli, Joe Willock, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and, of course, the return of Mesut Ozil. Will his display be enough for Unai Emery to start him against Wolves? All that, lots of the usual waffle and some Holy God FM.


NOTE: This podcast was recorded and uploaded before Granit Xhaka's statement which was released last night: https://arseblog.news/2019/10/xhaka-releases-statement-lets-get-back-to-a-place-of-mutual-respect/

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

0:28.3

How are you? Hope you're well. It's a Friday. We've got Premier League football tomorrow.

0:32.7

We've just had caraboued cup football in midweek, mental, crazy nuts, bunkers, whatever

0:39.4

you want to call that game at Anfield. It was all of those things and probably more. So

0:43.9

we're going to talk about that game a bit of course today on the show. Isn't it really

0:48.4

the most arsenal thing you can think of to go to Anfield and score five times, five goals

0:55.9

at Anfield against Liverpool and still somehow not win the game to be leading three one and

1:02.5

to be leading four to and not win the game to be leading five four with just seconds to

1:08.1

go and not win the game. It is the most unbrand arsenal thing you can possibly think of.

1:16.7

And you know, it's been a hell of a week. All things considered on the pitch, not particularly

1:21.6

great off the pitch, not particularly great. And it's got so weird. And people are so

1:27.1

fed up with what's going on that that there's this sort of, no, I won't say a groundswell

1:31.6

of support for Jose Mareño, but certainly more support for Jose Mareño being manager

1:35.8

of Arsenal than I ever thought possible. I mean, I just, I just can't. No way. It doesn't

1:42.4

make any sense to me. Do these people not have memories? Can they not remember what a

1:46.7

massive wanker this man is? Do they not remember what a terrible job he didn't Manchester United

1:53.3

with all of that money? How he, he lost the dressing room? How the players basically hated

1:58.5

him. And when you're in a situation like Arsenal, are at this moment in time, you need an

2:03.2

appointment. If you are making a hypothetical new appointment, let me just throw that out

2:07.4

there as a crazy thing that might happen in the not too distant future. I think you need

2:11.5

somebody to come in and put out the flames, not walk in and throw oil all over them and

2:19.2

make them even bigger. Like hiring Jose Mareño is, is like having an itch on your leg.
