In this episode I’m joined first by Lewis Ambrose to discuss the Arsenal players who went away during the Interlull, and how that might benefit them and us.

Morning all. Let’s start this morning with Arsenal Women who are through the semi-finals of the Champions League after an aggregate 3-2 win over Chelsea. It seems there was drama, with the Chelsea manager enraged by a hair-pulling incident involving Katie McCabe late on, which saw Sonia Bompastor red carded. She was so furious, she […]

Morning. It’s still all about the injuries and the Interlull this morning. Let’s start with Kai Havertz who played one half of Germany’s 2-1 win over Ghana, and scored a penalty just before the break to put his side 1-0 up. We all have our fears about players going away, but he – along with […]
