Arseblog Arsecast Episode 356 - Once more into the breach

E

Joining me on the opening show if the new season is Jeremy Wilson to talk Jack Wilshere, the Arsenal squad and what might happen between now and the end of the transfer window. There's also a more general Premier League preview with Ken Early of Second Captains which may or may not include a lot of incredulous Mourinho chatter. There isn't room for much of the usual waffle, but there's some – I wouldn't leave you without on the first show of the new season, and it all kicks off with a jaunty musical number. Hosted on Acast.
