What a lot of

What a popular solo

Ontario The reality of all the reason is no strong conclusions,

the second, we're definitely going to win the league.

The reality of preseason is that you shouldn't draw strong conclusions,

which is why it makes no sense after one good game against Everton to say we're definitely going to win the league. You have to say we're probably going to win the league. This is the Arsenal Vision post-match podcast. My name is Elliot Smith, I can block me on Twitter, Anki Gunner. Yeah, try to think about your opinions in preseason as malleable, right, as being a little less firm than the opinions you have during the season.

And that's why I like to think of the performance against Everton, especially the first half,

as indicating that we might or might probably win the league.

But I don't want to go far enough as to say we definitely will.

Now, having said that, this is our 600th episode.

And for that, we've got a very special thing planned.

We're going to talk about Arsenal for about an hour or so.

So I hope that you enjoy that very special, unusual podcast that we put together for this momentous occasion.

To be fair, if it weren't for the fact that I was in Portugal, I probably would have tried to pull together some special guests and whatnot.

But bear with me, we'll do it for the 1600th episode. How about

that? We'll do something special for that one, just a thousand short episodes from now.

So Arsenal did win a football game in Charm City in Baltimore, USA. And I have to admit,

like seeing the Arsenal fans there and the community and Mike from the Gooners pod and everybody having the time of their life.

Like, yeah, I'm on a wonderful once-in-lifetime holiday with my parents and my wife and my kids and I'm so, so lucky and thrilled to be where I am right now.

But I had a little bit of FOMO.

It looked really special.

And I think the performance, especially in the first half of a largely first team group of Arsenal players, warranted a little bit of that fomo, too, because it was pretty exciting. And there's a lot to tease out from that. There's also injuries to discuss and maybe a little bit of transfer stuff. Outgoings in Amari Hutchinson, incoming in Olexander Zincenko. And here to discuss all that with me now is Paul. You can find him on Twitter at Paws my pants. Hello, Paul. Woo-hoo. Can't wait to get you back from Portugal. Get you into my time zone so that I'm not getting a bat call when my eye opens above the covers first thing in the morning. So apologies, my toilette has not been fully completed, everybody.
