Hello and welcome to a brand new ArsBlog arsecast right here on arseblog.com. How are you? Hope you well.

Thank you very much indeed. As always for being here. This morning we're going to look back on our

three to win over Chelsea in the Carabaut Cup

last night, the first leg of the semi-final. And look, a win is good. We haven't won a semifinal

in quite some time, so that's an improvement in and of itself. But this is a game. I think that

maybe Arsenal will have some regrets over big chances to make it 4-1 and to

basically put the tie to rest in the first leg. We don't take those chances. They score a scrappy

kind of goal and all of a sudden it's 3-2 and the tie is still alive. But look, that's football

a couple of individuals as well.

So let's get into that. And with me, to talk about the good stuff, the not so good stuff,

and everything in between is Phil Costa. Good morning, Phil. Good morning, Andrew. How are we doing?

We're doing all right. You know, I think you go away to Stanford Bridge, even if you have some regrets.

You come back to North London with a win.

I don't think you can argue too much.

There's plenty to unpack from this one, but I think overall, you know, going into this game,

we knew it was going to be tough.

We knew they were going to be up for it, given, you know, their season is not where ours is. And I think we acquitted ourselves pretty well overall. So like I said, there's lots to get into. Let's just start with

the team news. I guess it was pretty much as expected. The only real change or the only thing
