The only way to score is, of course, to play with a handbreak-off.

Hello, I'm Ian Stone.

This is Handbreak-off, the Arsenal podcast.

Brought to you by The Athletic.

Well, today we're going to be

talking about Arsenal for Tottenham Osperl 1 at the Emirates we'll have a little look at it to

by Munich as well I'm joined by Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clark what a lovely morning it's gorgeous

isn't it nice in it nice Amy's just got a big smile on her face. She's saving it. No, I was just thinking how I don't know, left them off the hook really. Oh, what? You said it should have been six or seven, really. Yeah, yeah, okay. We can get to that. I thought you were going to crack up there as you were doing your intro stony. You almost burst into laughter

before you got going. Well, there will be laughter because I'm assuming everyone's in a pretty good

mood. Eberici Ezer, probably in the best mood he's ever been in, to be honest with you. We know

he's a man of faith. He said he prayed to God for what happened yesterday. Also did extra training,

which also helps, I think. And Mikhail Oteta was very complimentary about that. They gave him two days off and he came back after one. He went, no, I want to work on stuff. I mean, that work ethic as well. But he did pray for it. I don't know if either of you guys have that sort of faith. But what are you praying for? And who are you praying to,

Amy, as well? Short term and long term, by the way, prayers. Oh my gosh. There's a lot of detail in that question. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I mean. It's a bit early for you. Is that what you're saying. I'm not a big

prayer person personally. I'm quite in some ways envious of people who are because I think if you do have that faith in something to help you through, it must be amazing. You've got faith in the arsenal, right? I mean, we've all got faith in the arsenal, haven't we? Well, you got to. That's what keeps us coming. Yeah, that's probably the closest to a religious experience that I get on a regular regular basis, that and occasionally when the music gets you in a particular mood.

I think from an arson point of view, what would I be looking to a higher power for assistance for in this coming period?

I was just wondering if there's some sort of like curse that can be put on a certain

cyborg. I think that would be really helpful. I'm not talking about something really,

really bad. I mean, this kind of goes against religion, really, doesn't it? You know,

putting curses out there. Well, you know, just something to sort of knock someone off kilter a little bit, you know, for the greater good.

I was just thinking, I don't know, like my coffee machine, it still works.

I can still get a coffee out of it, but it's really sluggish.
