Summary
On this week's show I'm joined by Charles Watts of goal to talk about how Arsenal might react to the midweek defeat to Wolves. Were there enough positives for Mikel Arteta to get back on track quickly? We also chat about the improved form of Nicolas Pepe and why he needs to stay in the team; goalkeeping worries with Alex Runarsson set for his first Premier League start due to Bernd Leno's suspension and an injury to Mat Ryan; future recruitment strategy after the big January clean up; red cards, ill-discipline and David Luiz; and a smattering of the usual waffle.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to a brand new R-Splog R-SKAST right here on R-Splog.com. |
| 0:27.2 | How's it going? How are you? How are you feeling? How's everything? How's everything hanging? |
| 0:31.6 | Hopefully to the good side. It was Groundhog Day this week. Did you see that? The |
| 0:38.6 | Groundhog decided that we were going to get six more weeks of winter. And I thought, |
| 0:44.8 | you little fucking prick. As if that's what anybody needs right now. Six more weeks of winter, |
| 0:52.0 | come on. Shit is weird enough as it is without you adding to the grainess and the gloominess with more |
| 1:00.1 | winter. I mean, there is just generally speaking a big Groundhog Day element to life at the moment. |
| 1:06.6 | And I hope wherever you are, you're dealing okay with it. I know it's more applicable to some |
| 1:11.6 | people in some countries than it is to others. But you know, it is something we're all having to |
| 1:16.2 | deal with in one way or another. And I hope you're doing okay with it. I have to say this week, |
| 1:22.3 | I don't want to say I'm struggling with it because that sounds just maybe a little bit to |
| 1:26.5 | melodramatic. I realize that in the grand scheme of things, I'm pretty lucky when it comes right |
| 1:32.7 | down to it. There are a lot of people in worse situations than I'm in and I can work and you know, |
| 1:36.9 | I'm at home and you know, I thought the greatest sacrifice in the world is it just to stay at home. |
| 1:42.1 | But there are also times where you just like to go somewhere, no? Do something where we're |
| 1:48.1 | restricted to within five kilometers of our home and you know, nothing is open in terms of |
| 1:54.2 | social activities. And this week, I think for the first time really since all this started, |
| 1:58.8 | I had a real panging for just going to the pub and having a couple of pines and just sitting |
| 2:06.2 | and people watching and talking and you know, having a chat with the barman or whatever it might be, |
