Summary
In this episode I'm joined by Philippe Auclair to talk about Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Slavia Prague in the Europa League. We discuss a disappointing result, the way game was managed, substitutions, the overall performance, the reaction to going ahead, the late equaliser we conceded, and what it says about these players. We also discuss Mikel Arteta in the context of this game, and broaden the discussion out into where we're going, compromised principles, the need for a plan and identity, how the club have committed to the Arteta/Edu project, and why, if the owners don't get more hands on, the future could be a bleak one for Arsenal.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to a brand new R-Splug R-Scast right here on R-Splug.com. |
| 0:27.7 | I hope you're doing okay, staying safe and well. |
| 0:30.7 | No doubt everybody is in sparkling form this morning after Arsols won one draw with Slavia |
| 0:35.7 | Prague in the Europa League last night. |
| 0:37.9 | There really is nothing quite like scoring a late goal, thinking you're going to win the |
| 0:42.9 | game and then conceding a fucking ridiculous equalizer four minutes into the four minutes |
| 0:49.4 | of injury time to give them an away goal to take into the second leg. |
| 0:54.3 | I mean, it's really annoying me that goal this morning I have to say. |
| 0:59.7 | Normally the cold light of day allows me to rationalize things, but that goal, the way |
| 1:04.5 | it happens, the needlessness of it, it's just so irritating in a particularly irritating |
| 1:11.9 | season. |
| 1:12.9 | Every time, it's like having an itch and every time you scratch the itch, you get a more |
| 1:17.9 | itch-itch somewhere else and in a more difficult place to scratch. |
| 1:23.0 | Last night was not good at all and I know we had chances to win the game and we should |
| 1:28.3 | have taken those chances and it would have been different if we'd scored, but you know, |
| 1:32.9 | we didn't and that seems to be a bit of a recurring theme. |
| 1:36.5 | So look, rather than me going off on one here in the opening part of the podcast because |
| 1:40.9 | the game took place last night, we're obviously not recording until today, Friday and we might |
| 1:46.6 | as well get straight into it and bring in our guest as always until I get to welcome to |
| 1:51.5 | the show, Filippo, Claire, Hi, Filippo. |
| 1:53.1 | A good morning to you, Entry. |
| 1:55.1 | This, I'm interested to have this discussion. |
