Summary
On this week's show I'm joined by football correspondent for CBS, James Benge. We begin by chatting about post-match interviews, and why so many of them are bland and uninteresting. Is it the players, the questions, the strange timing of these interviews, the media landscape in which they're carried out, or a combination of all of those things. We then move on to Arsenal in a week where the squad has been trimmed, and chat about the work that Edu has to do to convince people, and in what kind of time-frame we can properly assess it. There's some Emile Smith Rowe, transfer window, analysis of the last couple of weeks, and lots more.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to a brand new R-Splog R-Skast right here on R-Splog.com. |
| 0:27.1 | How are you? Hope you're well, hope everyone in your orbit is doing okay, keeping well, keeping |
| 0:33.6 | healthy, safe and sound of body and mind. It can be tough going. So wherever you are and |
| 0:42.3 | whatever you're doing and whoever you're with, I hope everyone is doing okay. It helps, |
| 0:46.8 | I suppose, if you're listening to this, that arsenal win football games, that's always nice. |
| 0:52.7 | It helps alleviate some of the other stresses and strains and everything else. You can say, |
| 0:58.4 | look, it's only a game and the grand scheme of things are more important things in the world. |
| 1:02.1 | Of course, there are, of course. But you know, it does affect your mood. When you support a football |
| 1:07.7 | club and the football club that you support doesn't do as well as you would like it to do. So |
| 1:11.7 | when it starts to do better than it was doing, if not still as well as you would like it to do, |
| 1:16.7 | it just makes life a little bit better. And I think we could all use whatever |
| 1:21.6 | makes life a little bit better at this moment in time. What was I going to say? I don't know, |
| 1:28.9 | I don't have a great deal to say in the opening part of this particular podcast because we're going |
| 1:33.3 | into an FA Cup weekend. We've got two games in a few days against Southampton. I don't know how |
| 1:38.6 | you feel about these things, these sort of double headers when you play a team in a cup and in the |
| 1:43.1 | league or in the old days. Remember when you play a team in the cup and you draw and there be a |
| 1:49.5 | replay and there'd be a number of replays. I remember when I was growing up, there was maybe four |
| 1:56.6 | games in a row against Liverpool in the FA Cup. This season, of course, there are no replays because |
| 2:01.1 | of everything else that's going on and what have you. But back then, you didn't just have one replay |
| 2:06.2 | and then penalties. It was a replay and then another replay and another replay. I think we played |
| 2:11.3 | Liverpool four times. Could have been 1980. I remember listening to those games on the radio as |
| 2:17.2 | a nine or ten year old. There are bads anyway. Leads as well at some point in the 90s to replay |
