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

Hello, I'm Ian Stone.

This is a handbrake of the Arsenal podcast, brought to you by The Athletic, joined this week by our first line-up, I guess I could say, the first three, I suppose, which is James McNicholas, Amy Lawrence and Mr Lee Dixon. Hello, guys.

Hey. Hello, hello, nice to speak to you.

Now, we did have a bursting mail bag this week in electronic sense.

And quite a number of people contact us this week.

We will get into at some point.

One of the emails comes from David M. Blumstein, who asks, how's Lee's knee coming along? Lee you were you know

fairly sharp with Teo our producer in the sound check I would say when he asked you about

your cycling and you said well I haven't done much my knee's not very good I guess that

answers the question right well I just expect him to know a little bit more about his subjects

to be honest with you he's sitting in the back room there with his feet up and a cup of tea and he's taking no interest in my knee whatsoever.

And he should know that over Christmas it was too early to go on the bike.

But I'm back on the static bike now and thank you for asking all those people out there.

Seven weeks post-op today actually. So it's my seven-week birthday today and it's doing

brilliantly well it's the best thing I've ever done I can actually walk without looking

like you stony so it's really good I have no idea what that means I can walk

I walk regularly have you seen yourself No. I'll end it there.

Thank you.

Anyway, David, I mean, that turned out not as I was expecting to be honest with you, but at least it answers your question.

Also from the mailbag, by the way, David Terendi from Worcester, Maine in the United States of America.
