On this week's episode, I'm joined by one of our long-time friends, Amy Lawrence. We chat a bit about footballers and their new initiative to donate pay to the NHS, but we mostly chat about her life and work as one of the most respected football journalists around. We discuss how she become obsessed with football and Arsenal, how she began writing for The Gooner and made her way to the Observer via FourFourTwo magazine, wearing the dual hat of fan and journalist, and lots more.

On this week's show, James and I discuss the issue player wages and the proposed pay cut by Arsenal. Is it as simple as just accepting the terms, or is it a more complicated issue that needs to be discussed carefully and considerately before implementation? On the surface it's not a great look for well paid sportsmen, but what about the owners and other highly paid executives? Where does that money go? And if players take a cut, what are the implications for other staff at the club? We chat about all that, plus answer listener questions about contract negotiations, people's relationship to football, scouting then and now, what we're missing about football and loads more.

On this week's episode, the issue of football players taking pay cuts is to the fore, and with me to discuss that is Rory Smith, Chief Soccer Correspondent for the New York Times. We chat about an issue which all clubs are dealing with, not just Arsenal, at a time when the precarious nature of football finance is becoming very clear. Should players be responsible for cost savings which wealthy owners could easily cover? What other avenues could clubs go down, regarding salary caps? Will we see a more prudent landscape when we do see games played again? And how realistic is the idea of the Premier League season finishing by June 30th? All this and more with Rory.

This week's show gets off to a strange start, but we try again and James and I discuss the latest from the world of football which includes ... er ... no football, but there's chat about the Arsenal players taking pay cuts, the roles of Mikel Arteta and Hector Bellerin, and the prospect of Arsenal and other clubs being taken over if the financial crisis in the game continues. There are also loads of listener questions, starting with our opinion on how things have gone for the club on the 2 year anniversary of Arsene Wenger's departure being announced, a new contract for Bukayo Saka, keeping Cedric Soares, hidden turtles and lots more.

On this week's episode, I'm joined by James Benge of Football London to discuss most of the Arsenal squad agreeing to a round of pay cuts. However, Mesut Ozil was widely reported to have held off from the agreement – what should we make of that, especially in light of comments made by his agent during the week. There's also some European football waffle in there too.

Then it's to New York to catch up with journalist, author, screenwriter, podcaster and Arsenal fan, Jon Ronson for some general chat about life during Covid-19, the impacts it might have on society, what he's been up to, some TV recommendations and lots more.

On this week's show James and I chat about the players coming back to training on a phased, individual basis, what they might get up to on the training ground, who should be practising free kicks, and touch on the issue of pay cuts again and dressing room harmony. There's also a lot of other stuff, including: our best non-European Arsenal XI, bank heists, how football clubs will have to change in the wake of Covid-19, Zoom calls and quizzes, Aubameyang's dad's Instagram stories, famous schoolmates, Al Pacino embracing the ham, and LOTS more besides.

On this week's show we have two guests called Nigel. First, Nigel Phillips of the Arsenal Supporter's Trust to discuss a report they issued this week about the potential financial implications of Covid-19 and the shutdown of football on Arsenal. We talk about revenue streams drying up, playing behind closed doors, the money that the club spend each month without any income, the famous cash reserves, the reported 'cash injection' from KSE and what to expect when football does eventually return.

Then I'm joined by Nigel Mitchell, who many of you know as the man at pitch-side during Arsenal home games. We chat about getting the radio bug, what a typical match day is like for him, interviewing legends, doing a dream job for any Arsenal fan and loads more.

On this week's show we discuss 'Project Restart', the Premier League's guidelines to getting football going again, despite there still being no clarity as to when sport could potentially recommence. We also chat about what kind of football we're going to get, with games played behind closed doors, will broadcasters add their own soundscapes to try and create atmosphere/block out on-pitch communications which may involve some swear words. We also answer questions about young players key moments this season, David O'Leary, ideal games to re-watch, what it's like to interview Arsenal legends, and LOADS more, including some exclusive celebrity magpie content!

On this week's show we have two guests for you. First up, Jason Shardlow-Wrest, a dispute resolution/litigation lawyer at Linklaters to chat about the difficult issue of player contracts. Some of them expire on June 30th, but proposals from FIFA to extend them are just guidelines right now. We chat about the implications on clubs, players and agents, wonder about what might happen loan players like Dani Ceballos, as well as the transfer market and players whose contracts expire next year that Arsenal might have wanted to sell this summer.

Then, for a lovely, long rambly-chat I'm joined by comedian, writer and podcaster Adam Buxton. We talk about his brand new audiobook which is out now, podcasting, being nervous when interviewing famous people like Marc Maron, my anxiety dream ahead of this interview, doing silly voices, plus lockdown TV viewing – some of it quite saucy – and loads more besides.

We never managed to get a bed larger than a queen, so king size still feels a bit ridiculous!

To be clear: I'm *real good* at putting together Ikea furniture. The Expedit was designed as a psychological stress test for teams. 

Nothing can quite compare to that first-real-job euphoria :)

Some ppl look at old pictures of themselves and go "oh look, I was so thin!". I feel like "oh, look! I still felt there was ethical employment under capitalism! XD" All told this was a really solid job that I'm really grateful that I had. I learned a lot about industry in this Province, how our energy is made (and wasted), and the scale of impact you can have in industry. Those lessons have never left me. Also, how to write an email that can stand up in court. Thanks, EnergyWise.
