Arsecast Extra Episode 459 - 21.02.2022

In this episode James and I discuss the 2-1 win over Brentford on Saturday, a game where the scoreline definitely did not tell the full story. We chat about Arsenal's control and dominance, some contentious decisions from the officials, but ultimately the winning contributions from Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka. We also examine our top four chances, before answering listener questions about Lacazette's role as centre-forward, whether we can get all the 'Fab Four' in the team at the same time and how, Martin Odegaard, Champions League coming too soon, and much more – including James' singing songs to his dog and a lot of journalists.


And if you haven't seen it, here's the amazing work from @SebbyV21 - https://twitter.com/SebbyV21/status/1494465787733716993

    In this episode I'm joined by Arsenal fan Alfie Steiner, to talk a little bit about the Gunners, but more about food and his incredibly popular 'Alfie Cooks' channels on social media.
