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

How are you?

Hope you're well.

Remember being here as always, it's been a bit of a stormy week and I don't just mean

the reaction to Arsenal's 2-1 defeat to Everton, it's been really stormy here, a tree on

our road got upended and then disappeared, I think it was somebody's firewood within about

an hour.

So we've had some stormy, windy, galey, gusty, all that kind of stuff, but nothing, nothing

in comparison to the online storm that surrounded that really disappointing result on Monday

night, which I'm sure is going to be referenced in today's podcast.

I will as much as possible try and avoid crossover with the discussion that I had with James

on the R-Scast extra on Tuesday.

Not much has happened, there hasn't been any news as is usually the case with Arsenal

after a bad result.

Radio silence.

We got this like nothing, this tumbleweed, no training grand photos, no bits and pieces

apart from of course, the launch of new retro kit and tracksuits and jerseys and all

that kind of stuff, which went down a storm today Thursday as I'm recording this.

And man, do they know how to pluck on the emotional heartstrings of the Arsenal fans, retro kit,

reminds us of the good times when we were growing up, well those of us of a certain age, and

then they do stuff like here's Bacchio Sacka with a puppy.

You're like oh god, how can I stay mad?
