Episode 1557: Arsenal’s Original Sin, Stale Spurs And The Eriksen Stalemate, Rainbows In The Riviera, Bury And Bolton
Today’s show is all about the man who made Arsenal F.C the “Edwardian Abramovich”, and why the North London had, and has, so much spite to it. Jack Pitt-Brooke of The Athletic joins us.
We try to unpick what happened last night at Nice v Marseille, where home fans trolled the reforming French sports and equality ministers with homophobic banners, resulting in the referee calling the game to a temporary halt.
The Ligue 1 derby between Nice and Marseille was suspended on Wednesday following homophobic chants from a section of the fans.

Liverpool have rejected accusations of ‘mentally bullying’ teenage forward Bobby Duncan.

David Silva sublime. David Luiz ridiculous. Eoin has some questions – cheap, nasty, and obvious ones.https://t.co/RtHnV8cFyV pic.twitter.com/liIhQKsHe8
