Oh, hello. Welcome to the TIFO football podcast. My name is Joe Devine. And today I was joined by

James McNicholas, aka Gunner blog, also of The Athletic. And I was joined by Sebstaffa Blore.

Now, the content of today's podcast is all about Arsenal Football Club. It's called What's Going On at Arsenal? And we attempt to investigate what is going on at Arsenal, including things like recent backroom reshuffle. That makes it sound political, doesn't it? But it's an election season. So,

you know, I've got the fever. What else do we talk about? We talked about the now infamous

Jacques' situation, which, you know, seems a shame for all involved. Abammyang as the captain,

is he or isn't he the right choice? We also talked about, of course, Emery.

He's been there for 18 months now, you know, just about long-term plans, what was expected of him when he came in at the beginning, whether he's delivered or not, how it's very difficult to see what the philosophy is, apart from quite a lot of sort of tinkering with various parts of the team.

We also touch briefly on the owners towards the end and some of the higher end structure stuff at the club um i found it very very interesting i'm so sorry i'm also a bit ill so i'm coughing got a scratchy voice today um i found it really interesting i love james he's great fun to talk to. I hope you will enjoy listening to him. He is now writing alongside Amy Lawrence and people like David

Unstein for The Athletic, writing all about Arsenal. And to be honest, I can't really think

of a better Arsenal-based line-up anywhere else, nor any other team, for that matter,

nor any other general group of football writers. We are brought to you by The Athletic.

At UK forward slash TIFO. It really, really is worth it. I couldn't emphasize that more. Eight pence per day,

£2.50 a month for the whole first year. What's that? The price of a coffee, or it's, in fact,

I bought a coffee the other day that cost me £3.60. So, you know, it's less than that if you live in a big city and you have an

expensive tasting coffee. Incidentally, I didn't buy that for myself. I don't drink coffee. I don't

need any caffeine. I'm already too sort of on edge. I bought it for someone else. And I was,

I was disappointed that it cost me that much money.

Anyway, that's all. I hope you really enjoy this episode. Whether you're an Arsenal supporter
