Hello and welcome to a brand new ArsBlog, Arscast, right here on Arsblog.com. How are you? Hope you well.

Thank you very much indeed. As always, for being here. It is a post-match pod today. We got back to winning ways after defeat to

Astonville at the weekend with a 3-0 win over Club Bruges last night, making it 6 from 6 in the

Champions League, 100% record in Europe so far this season, and long may that continue. And it was a

team which, while familiar in some places was certainly a bit

unfamiliar in others nevertheless moments of brilliance from nani madwakei or nani madwaki as martin

keon kept calling him on the tv last night and also gabriel martinelli helped fire us to a three-nill

win so we're going to get into all of that in today's show.

A couple of things just before we start, though.

It is getting close to Christmas, and maybe you're lacking the inspiration.

You don't know what to get the Arsenal fan in your life.

Well, we have you covered.

Or if you're an Arsenal fan and you want to suggest to somebody that they get you

a particular gift, we've got you covered there as well. Every week over on Patreon, Andrew Allen

puts together a really interesting newsletter, which is Arsenal content and football content

links and videos and stuff like that. This week, however, there is a bonus edition listing dozens and dozens

of arsenal-related gift ideas from official stuff to boot-like stuff to loads of independent

creators and creatives. And we have made that free to everybody. And you can find the link to that

in the show notes now. So if you're looking desperately for something for Christmas, hopefully you can find the link to that in the show notes now. So if you're looking desperately for something for Christmas,

hopefully you can find something there and hopefully as well.

It helps support a lot of these independent artists and creators whose work

we should be supporting in this day and age because it's valuable and it's important
