103.6 FM, your favourite independent UK radio station. It's your host, Mario, Touchline Fracker, our usual,

Saturday 2 to 4 p.m. show. Why am I in such a good mood? They're all eyes on me early kickoff. Ask not I'm losing to Bournemouth. Am I joined by Dissu? Dissu, are you there? Hello, brother. Hello, brother. Hello, brother. This is what it's all about. This is what it's all about.

We've got Errol listening in. He's been telling me stick, giving me stick all season.

And we might be beginning to watch the crumble in real time. I've normally, when it's a 12.30 game,

I don't actually get an opportunity to watch it because I'm making my way in. But I left extra early today.

Extra early so I could see the haram in HD and it has been heramic.

An Aramic roost, boy.

Arsenal are currently losing 2-1 at home to Bournemouth.

Obviously this win would have taken Arsenal, what,

13 points clear with them having two games in, well, City having two games in hand. At present,

this looks like the gap will stay at 10 points with City having two games in hand and Arsenal having to go to the Emirates. The vibe is sad. They're going to kids in the crowd and they're crying this to you. Have you been watching the game? Yes, brother. I have been locked in. Talk to me about... Oh, hello? Uh-oh. Oh, hello? Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. What are you off to be?

It's so interesting.

It's so interesting watching this play out because when they went one-nil up, they did that thing that teams always do when they go one-nil up, which is they retreat and then they

stop taking risks and they stop trying to make chances happen. But what I'm watching them do now is what I wish more teams would do. The best way to stop yourself from conceding the goal is by keeping the ball as far away from your own goal as possible. So don't invite pressure. Be up in their half and try and score a goal or try and have the ball being played out like under the corner flags right and so

I'm interested to see yeah go on no yeah I agree um you know there's so many different football

cliche but one of the ones I do like and adhere to is um attack the best form of defense yeah

best form of defense and you get their ball then the opponent can't score exactly exactly and they did a lot of that In the first half And obviously Arsenal went 1-1 And via the penalty By Victor Yoccarus I think that makes it 18 goals in all competitions For him in his first season Still not having him, Dissu? Yeah, no, I'm not But today today, he's looked better physically, like,

for sure.

He's been winning three kicks.

He's been tussling, like, he's looked better for, um...
