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

Hello, I'm Ian Stone, and this is Hand-Break-Off, the Arsenal podcast brought to you by The Athletic.

I'm joined this afternoon by The Athletic writer James McNiclos, aka Gunner Blog, and stepping in for Amy Lawrence, who is currently out of the country.

We have the journalist Nick Callow. Good afternoon, chaps.

Afternoon, afternoon.

And now, Nick, we like to ask everyone who comes on the show for their Arsenal credentials.

So, what are your Arsenal credentials?

I was taken to my first Arsenal game where I was a babe in a blanket.

In a blanket?

Baby in arms, I think he used to call it.

So I've got no idea what my first game is.

And then I sort of got into journalism.

And I was honoured to ghostwrite Arsman Bengers column when he used to do one for the Arsenal

Club magazine.

But I think my favourite Arsenal moment is all tied into one great night at Amfield in 89.

Yay.

Having been behind the goal when Mickey Thomas scored that goal and celebrated all night, then

had the honour of driving back to Southgate, unlike you, I think, Lee, to the winners bar

in Southgate where we all celebrated with the players, much to my amazing, continuing disbelief

to today.
