In this episode I'm joined by Sam Dean to talk about Mikel Arteta signing a new contract, with discussion of the timing of the announcement, and what this next
cycle will demand of the Arsenal boss. Then we turn our attention to the injury-filled Interlull, paying close attention to the Martin Odegaard injury, and trying to figure out what Arteta is going to do without his captain – a player who is fundamental to the way the Gunners play.
Then, I catch up with Tayo Popoola, a contributor to the new book Black Arsenal by Clive Chijioke Nwonka and Matthew Harle. We chat about the significance of this publication, before Tayo catches up with Femi Koleoso - Drummer from Ezra Collective; Eddie Otchere - Photographer; and Amy Lawrence to go more in depth on the book and its themes.
