I'm

Shaka Rice Tril Strz Ertigard White Everything's going right After those are so good they're goring by mistake. I'm totally over the refereeing incident from the weekend, but I have been spending the day running around, grounding my kids and screaming, Letter of the Law at them. This is the Arsenal Vision post-match podcast. My name is Alex Smith, McGovern. That's right. I've been just pointing at my children. Letter of the law, you're grounded.

I don't know what it's for. Just doing it, just doing it, getting it out of my system. Letter of the law. Letter of the law. A couple of things. So the transfer window happened and closed. Feels like a million years ago at this point, doesn't it? So we're going to do a Sterling scouting video. So that'll be over on Patreon this week.

We're going to do a Brighton rewatch.

We're going to do a Brighton rewatch. We're going to do a power rankings because when Chelsea lose and Spurs lose and United lose, you kind of got to do a power rankings because even though Clive doesn't like Shadenfreude, I can slip some in. It's the perfect Trojan horse for Shadenfreude. So we've got the opportunity to do that. if you can't totally celebrate your own successes,

you can always laugh at your rivals.

Failure,

that is an important part of what we do. Here it is Labor Day as we record this year in the United States of America, meaning that Paul and I are off on a holiday Monday, which is nice. I am feeling very sort of holiday oriented. I don't know who said that. You might have heard a voice in the background there, but as no one has been introduced yet, it is unclear who that person might have been. So anyway, yeah, we're going to keep you busy during the interlull with loads and loads of good stuff over on Patreon, but we'll also have our main pods over here. And we'll have a bonus pod for everyone tomorrow that I think you're going to absolutely love. So just tease that. That's coming out tomorrow and there'll be a chance to win a book and there'll be all kinds of fun stuff there. So that's coming up. Let's get into a podcast that'll go like this. We're going to do the ref chat up top. Firstly, because I think until it's been handled, it's hard to get any other stuff out of the way. It kind of hangs over the conversation. So we'll do that first. Then we're going to break down the Brighton game from an actual tactical analytical standpoint because whatever you think of the refereeing decisions, there's still the obligation for Arsenal to play the game and play the game as effectively as possible. So we'll discuss that. Then we'll get into the transfer window stuff and we'll talk about Rahim Sterling and maybe just touch on Saudi Arabia coming in for Trasard, who's not going anywhere as of last reporting.

So we'll get all that out of the way. It's going to be a long podcast. And here to do it with me is the voice you heard earlier. His name is Paul. You can find my Twitter. Pass my pants, whole boss.

Woohoo.

And Glyb, you're going on Twitter,

Clive, BFC, hello,

Hello, Glyb.

Tim will be back soon,

covering lots of women's game stuff at the moment right now, though,

which is great.

And so we're thankful to have him doing that content, but currently that means he's not doing this content, which we're disappointed about. But you know what? Swings and roundabouts. All right. I think the first thing we want to do is just touch on the fallout from the Brighton game.

And the rice sending off really feels like being punished twice because we wind up not winning a game that I think we were on course to win.

And we lose him for one of the toughest fixtures of the season and one of the fixtures we would most want to win in the season at Spurs. You know, if you said to me going in any season, I'll let you win three games. You can pick three games. Everything else will be the chance, but you win these three games. City away, certainly. And then the next two would probably be Liverpool away and Spurs away. Those are the ones, right? They'd say, give me those. I'll leave all the rest of chance.

So losing rice for that, compounded by losing Marino to injury, I think has made what felt like

an injustice feel even worse. And now we're all being gaslit with all the usual. Here's why it was
