Episode 3491: Arsenal’s Stranglehold, The Hürz Locker, The Mystery Fourth Box
Jamie Hamilton joins us today to talk about whether Mikel Arteta really is leading football into a new Dark Age, made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science.
Is the Arsenal manager correct that man-to-man marking makes the current direction of the game inevitable? And is it possible that coaches, in their frantic search for the extra 1%, are failing to see a whole world of unexplored possibilities right under their nose?
We also talk about Fabian Hürzeler’s shameless insubordination, City’s slip and force Murph onto the spot about Michael Carrick’s contract situation.
