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

Hello and welcome to Handbreak-off, the Arsenal podcast, brought to you by The Athletic.

I'm Ian Stone, joined this week by James McNicholas and Amy Lawrence.

Good morning.

Morning, Ian.

Hi, yeah.

Yeah, so not quite the outcome we were hoping for, essentially our regular thrashing at

Anfield.

Although, if there's a good four-neill, I think that might have been it, but we'll get into that.

One of the highlights certainly was Mikhail Arteta's fracker with Juergen Klopp after Marnay's horror elbow.

By the way, we'll get into that as well.

So we thought we'd ask, what are the moments of managerial passion did it remind you of?

Amy, you said it wasn't necessarily about managers yours.

No, I just, you know, we were talking before about sort of scraps and disagreements and so on with opposition.

And I always remember speaking to Frank McClintock, the legendary captain of the 1971

double winning side about one of the things that he felt brought that team together,

which was an almighty ruckus in Rome when they played against Lazio in the European Cup.

And as he remembers the story, I'll just, I won't use his accent, but I will use his words because he says it very

well, but he talked about it was quite a feisty game and somebody had tried to snap George

Armstrong in too. And Peter Story, for those of you who don't know about him, was the sort of

hard man of the team, but I really like, one of those quiet, dangerous hard men.
