Summary
In this episode I'm joined by Sam Dean to chat about Ben White and the focus on his 'antics' from corners. Why the focus now? Will it force him and Arsenal to modify behaviour from set-pieces? And does it obscure discussion of his outstanding quality and consistency as a footballer? We also talk about Gabriel Jesus amid reports around his future, Oleksandr Zinchenko perhaps being more 'at risk' of a departure, the new contract offered to Jorginho and what that means for the summer, as well as chat about proposed new financial rules in the Premier League, games being held in the US, and lots more – including details of our donation to UNICEF.

| 0:00.0 | And the Hello and welcome to a brand new Arsplog arscast right here on Arsplog. How are you? |
| 0:29.2 | Hope you're well. Thank you very much indeed as always for being here. It's been a relatively quiet week hasn't it? |
| 0:35.8 | You know we had the Triumph in the North London Derby beating Tottenham, Tottenham losing, |
| 0:42.2 | us winning, spurs not winning, all that stuff was fantastic and great. |
| 0:48.0 | And there's been a little bit of fallout in terms of Ben White, which we'll talk about in a few minutes on this particular episode. |
| 0:54.1 | But beyond that, it's been fairly quiet, at least in the context of how the last few weeks have |
| 0:59.4 | been, there's been a game every three or four days, midweek games. |
| 1:03.0 | And there hasn't really been any way of just switching your brain off. |
| 1:07.0 | And I've kind of enjoyed that about this week, that the Darby win always feels good, and we've kind of been able to enjoy it over an extended period because we haven't been straight back into the saddle with a Tuesday game or a Wednesday game or something like that. |
| 1:23.2 | So it has enabled us to enjoy the fact that we won the Derby and that Tottenham fans |
| 1:29.2 | appear to have lost their tiny little minds. |
| 1:33.0 | If you see some of the reaction that's been going around, people accusing Perry Groves of |
| 1:37.9 | committing hate crimes because he celebrated an arsenal goal in the press box at White Heart Lane or the toilet |
| 1:45.3 | ball whatever it's called? |
| 1:46.3 | You're ashamed yourself, you're on the radio, cause you're right here you will. |
| 1:50.0 | Excuse me, I don't have a scary please, I want to report a hate crime. I mean I do think that guy was on just a little bit of a wind-up with that video |
| 1:57.1 | but still remember last season when Aaron Ramsdale was so good in this game |
| 2:02.2 | that one of their fans was so outraged and |
| 2:05.5 | incensed at either the quality of his performance or the lack of quality in |
| 2:09.6 | the Spurs performance study he kicked down Ramsstale and then ran off. The online reaction |
| 2:15.9 | this week from so many Tottenham fans has been the digital equivalent of that and I |
| 2:21.2 | think it's very important that we take a moment to enjoy that |
