Summary

In this episode I chat to Charles Watts of Goal about the crazy week we've all experienced with regard to the Super League announcement, and then collapse. We discuss Mikel Arteta's responses as he became the first person associated with the club to speak publicly, KSE showing their hand and making their end-game clear, and whether or not this might have an impact on the team when we still have so much to play for this season.


Then it's Akhil Vayas from the AST to discuss the Fans' Forum meeting at which Josh Kroenke was questioned about the Super League, the owner's commitment to the club, potential further attempts to make something like this happen, and lots more.

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

0:27.5

How are you? Hope you're well? Been a pretty quiet week old, not much going on. I guess we'll

0:33.8

find something to talk about between now and the end of the show, but you know, tumbleweeds

0:39.6

all over the place this week. I mean, what the fuck? What the fucking fuckity fucking

0:50.6

fuck was that? I mean, there wasn't even time to get annoyed or frustrated properly with

0:58.8

a one-one draw against full-of-them before all this super league stuff blew up and then

1:04.2

it blew up some more and we were all scared and worried and terrified and then it collapsed

1:10.5

and here we are at the end of the week and we're still trying to come to terms with, you know,

1:16.6

what's happened and how it's happened and what it's told us and what we've learned from

1:20.6

this and there are things that we have learned that we already knew, but boy or boy, have

1:25.0

they been absolutely cemented by what has happened this week? We don't quite know what,

1:31.3

if any, impact it's going to have on the team, you know, for a while, for a couple of days

1:36.8

it was like football was pointless. Well, what's the point of it? What's the point in finishing

1:41.2

anywhere in the Premier League? What's the point of the Europa League and trying to win

1:44.8

it and gain entry into next season's Champions League if there is no Champions League? How

1:51.0

do you get yourself up for games that ultimately don't matter, which of course is the ironic

1:55.3

thing is that that's true of the super league itself. None of the games will matter or would

2:00.8

have mattered and then it all fell apart and then all of a sudden you're going, well,

2:05.0

we've got a game against everyone on Friday, we've got a Europa League semi-final next week

2:09.4

against FIARIL. The players weren't consulted, the manager wasn't consulted, there was no

2:14.4

communication from the top to the fans in any significant way, we had that statement that

2:19.6

they put out, etc, etc. So it is just, it's just been chaotic, it has been damaging, it's
