Summary
In this week's show I chat first to Tim Stillman about a difficult week for Arsenal Women, compounded by what seems to be a serious injury for Leah Williamson. We discuss the prevalence of these injuries in the women's game, and where it leaves the season with two huge Champions League semi-finals to come.
Then it's Lewis Ambrose as we prepare to face Southampton on Friday night. We chat about the week of punditry and narrative, bottling and cockiness and all that, and examine what might be better reasons for the points we've dropped of late. We talk about the way the team misses William Saliba and discuss Rob Holding's role – all in the context of a title chasing season and the team we're fighting against. All that and much more.

| 0:38.4 | Not 100% but certainly a lot better than it was on Monday morning when I spoke to James |
| 0:44.0 | in New York City. |
| 0:45.4 | But it's getting there. |
| 0:46.4 | It's a slow process. |
| 0:48.2 | Coming back from injury, you've got to be cautious. |
| 0:50.2 | You've got to make sure that you don't push it too far. |
| 0:52.6 | You don't want to aggravate it. |
| 0:54.0 | Get another injury. |

| 0:59.2 | on the bench this weekend ready to come on. |
| 1:02.9 | You know, by half an hour to go, get stuck into the last 30 minutes of a podcast. |
