On this week's show I'm joined by Tim Stillman and the Man from East Lower to discuss the Champions League draw, the potential arrivals of Lucas Perez and Shkodran Mustafi in the context of our transfer business in general, how they might fit into the team, and what it might mean in terms of departures for one or two others, and the rest of the week's news. We look ahead to the Watford game, there's one day fantasy football with Fan Duel, and all the usual waffle.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We then answer listener questions about Joel Campbell's loan departure to Sporting Lisbon, why we can't seem to sell players we let go, our expectations for the rest of the window, and what we would allow Vic Akers to smear on our bodies.

This week's Arsecast required beer after the Liverpool defeat and another exciting week of nothing much.

There's one day Fantasy Football with FanDuel with a chance for you to win real cash, and all the usual waffle.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We then answer listener's questions which ask WHHHHYYYYYYYYYY?, about what we do now, whether new is new or old is old, about fans and atmosphere and much more – including the possibility of some serious nudity from James in the future.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
