Every episode, at the end of the show, I say "we love you." Obviously we love you for supporting the pod, for becoming a community that brings so much joy and connection into our lives, and for the friendships that we've built together over the years. But in recent years, that expression of love has been the least I can offer to thank you for your remarkable generosity. The way you've supported the Arsenal Foundation's work through the Coaching for Life program has obviously surpassed any possible expectation we had when we first started supporting this cause. It is a true expression of love and selflessness, that has not only made a meaningful impact for thousands of children who would be so much worse off without what you've done, but it's also reverberated through the halls of Highbury House as well.
I realize we've asked so much of you in the past, but the need in the camp is greater than ever. You'll hear the reasons for that in this episode with the CEO of Save the Children Jordan, Dana Erekat. I want to thank Andrew who has already given generously. We will be adding our donation shortly. And I'm hoping that if you're in a position to give, you'll consider supporting the fundraiser again this year. We'll have more updates out in the coming days, some interviews with players as well, and some interviews with people behind the scenes at the club. As always, there are tickets to win, or to bid on at the auctions site. So whatever you feel is the best way to get involved, we are hugely appreciative for your efforts.
I've seen first-hand what this work does for children who have so little. It's something that should give us all immense pride in the club, and in one another.
So once again, with all my heart, I want to say that we love you!

[upbeat music] It's Rice. What a goal! Declan Rice with an absolute rocket with the free kick. Arsenal lead one-nil. Look at White, cut inside. Saka! Sublime finish. He's back with a bang, Bukayo Saka, one-nil. Unbelievable.
Elliott Smith· Host0:32
It's the most important month of the year, but this time I'm not just talking about the football. This is the Arsenal Vision Post-Match Podcast. My name's Elliott Smith. You can find me on Twitter @yankeeGunner. I am recording this on April 1st, and April 1st is, and this is important to know, the start of the month of April. It is also known for April Fool's Day, and, uh, that's a bit unfortunate because this is not a prank or, uh, some kind of, uh, fake recording or fake call to action. So I need to emphasize that this is neither about the football nor about April Fool's Day. Um, yes, this month is gonna be really important for Arsenal. We may see a great deal of our fate for this season decided based on what happens in the next thirty days, and there's a chance to be a really historic few weeks for the club and for us as supporters, and we could use all the good karma we can get. And what do you know? It's fundraiser month. Um, there are many of you that already know about the fundraiser and some of you who may not. You're going to be hearing
