In this week's episode we discuss the 1-1 draw in the North London derby with Sp*rs.

We then answer listener questions about diving, how we might freshen things up in the wide positions, refereeing, the upcoming game against Man United, home form v away, and James reveals exactly why he posted such an interesting picture on Instagram on Saturday night. All that and much more.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week's Arsecast is kind of a landmark one. Episode 400 comes almost 10 years to the day since the very first Arsecast, so there's a bit of a look back with some moments from the last 10 years, a bit of reflection on how much has happened since then, and to talk about the football I welcome back to the very first Arsecast guest, Goodplaya, for a bit of a chat about all that.

There's also a nice little competition in there for you too, and one day fantasy football with FanDuel.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
