It's Rice. What a goal! Declam Rice!

0:20.0

We've had an absolute rocket with a free kick. Arsenal League, one-nil. He's cutting side. Saka! Sublime's finish. He's back with a bang with Bukaiusaka 1-0. Unbelievable. Hey, there's not much to talk about, so why not just lean in the narrative? This is the Arsenal Vision Post-Match podcast. My name is 50, block me on Twitter, and you're an anchor. That's right, when there's not a lot to talk about, so why not just lean in the narrative? This is the Arsenal Vision Postmanch podcast. My name is 50, me on Twitter, and that's right. When there's not a lot to talk

0:41.3

about, why not just let the global football media set the agenda? Because everybody loves that.

0:46.7

Well, we're going to do a little of that and maybe a little less than that. I'll explain in a moment.

0:52.1

This is a countdown episode. Ten huge topics confronting the Arsenal world that must be addressed.

0:59.4

And we are going to address them in rapid fire order. We will spend no more than 20 minutes per topic, meaning just 200 minutes of podcasting.

1:08.8

It's going to be brilliant. And we're going to love you for being here. I do want to let you know, one of my favorite things that we've started doing when we signed new players, and we've signed quite a few of them, as Phil knows, having had to do the new player podcast over on the Arscast. But we will get a representative from the club from which we have signed the player to come and talk to us and just let them go and talk about the player. Well, we did one with Jim Daly from the five-year plan podcast this week on Ebrecha Eze. And it was really good. I think just really enjoyable listen to get a perspective on Aze from a palace fan. So I hope that you would listen to that. Tomorrow is Friday night, Clive. It is a live show,

1:44.5

but it's also as an audio program. And we're going to let Clive go on the power rankings, seeing what he thinks of the rest of the Premier League tomorrow and maybe one or two other things, depending on how many glasses of Sanser he's had. I do want to let you know, by the way, because some people still to this day don't know this. When you do sign up for Patreon, you just get the pods in the player you normally get anyway. So it just becomes more stuff. The video, obviously, you can watch. There's video for the Apple signups too. I will just tell you if you sign up on Apple, you're going to pay the extra Apple tax Apple, Apple toll. So if you do care about the Apple Corporation and you worry about their profits and you

think I need to support that struggling organization, then that's certainly your choice.

2:24.3

But we would love to have you there.

2:25.8

stuff every single day to listen to most of it, not even an idiot like me. We even do stuff like yesterday where we had the season preview of the women's season, which kicks off this week and history pods from Tim. You're going for walks every day? There's an entire catalog of history pods. You could learn the entire history of the Arsenal, which would be worth doing. Two minutes and 18 seconds today to get to the intros, and the intros I am here to give you is Phil Costa. Hello, Ficasta. Hello, mate. How are we doing? I am doing well. You were the celebrated host of the Football Vision pod as well, and I saw an episode came out the other day. You're talking about deadline day. So if people need their deadline day fix, check out the Football Vision podcast. But, and this is important, not right now. Ideally not. Yeah, yeah, ideally not. I mean, we love your pod, but listen to it after this one. And then we are joined by the man who is celebrated for a phenomenal performance on Monday's pod, I have to say. And that is Paul. Hello, Paz. Woo-hoo. I was.

3:25.6

Yeah, yeah, people really liked it.

3:28.0

And so I actually own apology to the listeners because I, one thing about hosting, right, is that you decide the running order and I really messed it up. I think the last 45 minutes of Monday's pod, if you haven't had a chance to listen to it yet. I think it's some of the best podcasting we've done in a very, very long time, just breaking down, not just breaking down, but analyzing the game.

4:16.1

Unfortunately, I put deadline day stuff up top and a little bit of narrative stuff up top, and I think it sort of obfuscated. It delayed. It hid some of the gold underneath, which was the analysis of the game. So if you want to go back and check that out, you're certainly welcome to. But today, we're doing the countdown. And the countdown is something normally we do on Patreon, but I thought it was good for an international break here. Ten rapid fire topics to cover related to Arsenal that are sort of in the zeitgeist right now, or maybe they're not, but they're about to be. And so I will start with number 10. Phil, is McKellar-Teta too conservative?

4:17.6

Oh, wow.

4:20.1

We're going straight in here with a big one.

4:25.2

I don't think he's conservative.

4:30.4

I just think we lack some attacking impetus and urgency.

4:34.6

That's not to say that he's defensive.

4:37.4

I just think we prefer to attack in a different way.

4:42.3

I mean, if you're comparing him to a Jürgen Klopp or an Andoni, Irola or someone like that, then yes, he probably does look a bit and feel a bit conservative because their
