Summary
In this episode we look back at Arsenal's 3-1 win over Brentford on Wednesday evening. We discuss team selection, going behind and the way we reacted to that, the importance of goals from Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli right now, how we controlled things at 3-1 up, an impressive first Premier League start for Ethan Nwaneri, and how this was a fine collective effort from the Gunners to take all three points. Then we answer listener questions about who plays right back against Brighton with Jurrien Timber suspended and if we might make a sneaky defensive signing in January, William Saliba's contract with Real Madrid reportedly sniffing around, Mikel Merino and his role in the team, contract extensions for our veteran central midfielders, and lots more.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another Arscast Extra as always with James from Gunner blog. |
| 0:16.4 | James, a goodly morning and a goodly new year to you. What a nice way to kick off 2025. |
| 0:22.4 | Wow. Happy New Year. You, Andrew, and everyone at home. Yes. I text to you about this yesterday, |
| 0:27.6 | but I can't get my head around 2025. There's something about that number that feels very |
| 0:32.8 | sci-fi to me. Yeah, I agree. I thought like maybe it's sort of the boiling frog thing, you know, |
| 0:40.6 | where if in, you go back to like when I was a kid in 1982 or something like that and you told |
| 0:47.4 | them all the stuff that you could do and have available to you and all the technology that was |
| 0:51.6 | around, you go like, holy fuck, that's a may, you mean what? |
| 0:55.6 | All the information in the world on a tiny slim device that I can fit in my pocket? |
| 1:00.7 | What are you talking about? |
| 1:01.8 | That's crazy. |
| 1:03.5 | But, you know, when you're living it in the moment, it feels a bit underwhelming at times. |
| 1:08.3 | We don't have our hoverboards. |
| 1:10.3 | Don't have our hoverboards. Don't have our hoverboards. |
| 1:12.7 | Yeah. Where are the hoverboards? I feel like that's what we were promised. |
| 1:17.4 | This is the real marker of technology and progress is like how close you are to hoverboards being |
| 1:24.4 | ubiquitous. Surely that's what Trump and Musk are discussing in their tete-to-tets. |
| 1:31.9 | You know what I mean? |
| 1:32.8 | If they want to really bring progress, it's got to be hoverboards. |
| 1:38.8 | I'm sure that's exactly what they're cooking up. |
| 1:43.7 | But listen, so far the year's treating me well, an Arsenal win. |
