  13. Tom Clarke· Host1:03

    Yeah, exactly. [laughs] Covers all, uh, grounds. So yeah, that's a perfect way to start the show, I'd say. Let's start with Arsenal. What a week for Arsenal. Mikel Arteta, all Arsenal fans will be desperate to tune into this show, I'm sure. Martin, I'm gonna start with you. You were at the game on Tuesday night.
