| 0:02.7 | The only way to score is of course to play with a handbreak-off. |
| 0:18.3 | Hello, I'm Ian Stone. Welcome to Handbreak-, the Arsenal podcast, brought to you by The Athletic. |
| 0:24.1 | Our guest this week are the writer for the athletic, Amy Lawrence, and the writer, podcast, a tactical analyst and ex-Arsonal player, Adrian Clark. |
| 0:33.2 | Hello. Hello, everybody. Thanks for having me on. |
| 0:36.3 | Hello, guys. We're recording this, by the way, I should say, the afternoon after Arsenal scraped through against Benfica in the inverted commas home leg of our round of 32 Europa League knockout tie.

| 1:47.1 | Went and beat A.C. Milan 2-0. |
| 1:50.0 | Nesta, Maldini, Perlow, Kaka, Renzagi. |
