I'm away on holiday this week, so no regular Arsecast, but instead here's one that originally appeared on our Patreon feed. It's part of a series called The Players, and in this episode I chat to Philippe Auclair about Robert Pires, his career at Arsenal, favourite goals and moments, and much more. Enjoy.

On this week's show I'm joined by James Benge of Football London to discuss Arsenal players voting for captain, is this Unai Emery being indecisive or cleverly inclusive in his decision making? We also chat about the midweek game against Forest, the returns of Rob Holding, Hector Bellerin and Kieran Tierney, as well as Lucas Torreira's best position and Granit Xhaka. Then we get a Man Utd perspective ahead of the trip to Old Trafford on Monday with Musa Okwonga, chatting Solksjaer, the Glazers, midfield woes and lots more besides.

On this bonus midweek episode of the podcast, I'm joined by the Guardian's Nick Ames to talk about the departure of Unai Emery, Josh Kroenke, how the spotlight is not shining very brightly on Raul Sanllehi as he takes control of the search for a new head coach, Freddie Ljungberg and his chances of getting the job, and why a new appointment might not happen as soon as people might like.

Today is the 19th anniversary of the passing of Arsenal legend David Rocastle. To talk about him, I'm joined by his great friend Ian Wright. We discuss the influence Rocky had on him as a player and a person; how the age difference didn't matter; what kind of a player he was; the emotional moment when he was sold to Leeds; and how Ian feels about the way David is remembered and held in such esteem by Arsenal fans all over the world – whether they saw him play or not.

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.

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 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.

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.

Dismissing concerns that states are reopening too soon, President Donald Trump incorrectly said that a newly revised model projecting 134,000 COVID-19 deaths by August “assumes no mitigation.” In fact, the model assumes states will keep their existing social distancing measures in place, unless suspensions have already been announced.

The Trump administration has repeatedly claimed that there are enough COVID-19 tests for states to begin reopening their economies. While that may be true for select locations, experts say more tests are needed, even if they don’t agree on a particular number.
