Here's a bonus Arsecast for you because we love you. In this episode I chat with James Benge about Mikel Arteta's comments about squad building, after he told his press conference today it wasn't about challenging the board. We discuss the boss's relationship with Josh Kroenke, how he has now assumed the position of leadership which had been somewhat vacant, his desire for improvement and how it might happen. We also chat about Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Dinos Mavropanos and his loan move, rumours of a loan for Coutinho and, of course, the FA Cup semi-final against Man City

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to a brand new R-Splug R-Scast right here on R-Splug.com. |
| 0:27.7 | How are you? |
| 0:28.7 | Well, hope your week has been going. |
| 0:30.7 | Okay, let's face it, our week started badly. |
| 0:35.7 | Depends what day of the week you like to call the start of the week whether it's Sunday |
| 0:39.1 | or Monday, but whatever day it was, it was bad because Monday was the day after the |
| 0:44.2 | North London Derby, of course, and we lost that, and that's not good. |
| 0:48.3 | That's never good, but it got a little bit better on Wednesday when we beat Liverpool |
| 0:54.4 | to won somewhat surprisingly, somewhat slightly, ever so slightly, just a little bit against |
| 1:03.6 | the run of play. |
| 1:04.8 | But that's what's great about football. |
| 1:06.6 | You just never know. |
| 1:08.5 | So my hope going into Saturday's FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City is that the |
| 1:15.1 | week which started like down, down, like down, down, down here, down here. |
| 1:21.7 | That's where the week started. |
| 1:22.7 | And then it sort of came up again a bit like this when we beat Liverpool. |
| 1:26.0 | I am hoping that, you know, Saturday evening, the trajectories are all the way up here, |
| 1:32.5 | which is me just sort of talking at the roof, which might also be construed as the actions |
| 1:38.4 | of a man who has lost what's left of his tiny little mind. |
| 1:42.6 | But I think you know where I'm going with this. |
| 1:44.7 | We do have a very difficult game. |
| 1:46.6 | Tomorrow evening against Man City, we're going to talk about that in this particular podcast. |
