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.

We're joined today by an attacking line-up. We have the Athletic Front Three of Amy Lawrence, James McNicholas and Art de Roche. Happy New Year, everyone.

Happy New Year, Ian. I'm just wondering in our front three, which one of us is Willian.

Well, and we'll get to that, certainly. Before we start all that, we were wondering about

New Year's resolutions. I've never personally made a New Year's resolution in my life,

although I did make that one this year that I want to give more money to donkeys, because I think I've seen enough of those adverts to last me a lifetime.

But that's pretty much it.

That's something attainable, I feel.

But in terms of New Year's resolutions for the players or the manager of Arsenal,

I wondered what your thoughts were.

Amy, I'll come to you first.

I would resolve to never buy a veteran player from Chelsea ever again.

Do you know what? That's fair enough, isn't it really? James, can you top that?

I was actually thinking of Emil Smith Row and I was thinking I would devoid my house of any sharp objects.

You know, don't run with scissors, wear a bubble wrap onesie.

Anything that he can do to prevent himself sustaining an injury would be great.

So it did sound a little bit like Emil Smith Row is living at your house, by the way.

You're talking about his house, I'm assuming.

His house, yeah. I'm assuming, is he living with his parents, by the way?

I mean, he's a kid, isn't he?

I imagine you're putting out a shout out to his mum and dad here to go.
