About this episode
Laura and Rory discuss the opening weekend of Arsenal's new season, highlighting Bukayo Saka's return and the team's mindset.
Anyone got a number for Marc Cucurella's barber? We've got some fake lineup news to share... Laura and Rory cast their eyes over the opening weekend of Mikel Arteta's new season – and it's kicked off with the return of Bukayo Saka! We're excited, but also a little sceptical. Elsewhere, Laura explains why she's not sure Arsenal can switch their mindset so completely to start blowing teams away, while the listeners have a new plan in mind anyway. Why don't we just get the mascots to have a big old fight and decide the title that way? Join us!
