Vinai Venkatesham The main theme from the most recent podcast by me and Blackburn George is our skepticism about whether the sacking of Raul Sanllehi represents a real change in direction by Arsenal Football Club. The Arseblagger was his usual frank and outspoken self proclaiming “The King Is Dead, Long…
Sanllehi
Dusting off another enemy in Peter Hill-Wood style. So Raul Sanllehi was asked to leave, sacked, given his walking papers, whatever. Choose your euphemism.

Blackburn George and yours truly discuss how the club now treats players like sh*t and destroy the values…
I will watch today’s friendly between Arsenal and Barcelona with great interest. Whether we win, lose or draw, I expect Arsenal to play positive, attractive football demonstrating the club’s intent for the upcoming premier league season. Arsenal might flatter to deceive, as we did at the start of last season…
