4/23/202643 min
Arsenal fans may be licking their wounds after another defeat to Man City, but do the reasons to be cheerful still eclipse any sense of gloom over the Emirates? Christian and Henry put the business into the business end of the season as they assess the Gunners’ financial firepower and overall strategy and look at the profiles of the people pulling the strings behind the scenes. They also discuss the boardroom exit of one of football’s most high-profile executives after Karren Brady announced her departure from West Ham.

[bottle thuds] So drink it cold or not at all. Jägermeister. Damn, that's cold. Drink responsibly. Jägermeister liqueur, 35% alcohol by volume. Imported by Mast Jägermeister US, White Plains, New York.
