I hope you're doing well. If you're watching or listening to this around the world as always. Thank you very much for joining me here on the channel, the home, of course. The Premier League champions. It is Friday evening. The weekend is very nearly here. Well, actually where you're watching this, a lot of you might already be here. It is very nearly here, over here in the UK. Anyway, and it is a big weekend. Big weekend indeed. Arsenal versus Chelsea at the Emirates. On Sunday, Michaela Arterta has been having his press conference. Earlier on today at London Colony, a head of that. So I thought I'd pop back on here now and go over some of the big talk in points from that press conference. We've got quite a bit. Team news wise, injury updates. On your in timber, Bruno, Gimmar Reich. Timber especially is quite interesting. He talked a little bit about Celebra as well, more scare-offs. He must scare or went off in the gaming and testing villa before. So we'll go over all of that. He was asked a lot about the transfer window and the attacking options or the lack of attacking options that Arsenal had. Or have now after the transfer window, so we'll talk about that as well. And then we'll throw things open into the chat.
Good to see lots of you already in the chat, which is good to see. Ember Paubertine is here. E-Tang says, how come you flipped your room? I flipped my room. What do you mean? I don't even understand what you mean. I haven't flipped my room. What I think I have. Not actually sure what flipped your room in. You have to explain that, E-Tang, because I certainly haven't done anything to my room. K-Lords has captured a live. First and a while, good to have you here as well. We've got Gregory from New York. Dan Smith says, it's the camera. The room... It's the camera. The room is opposite on camera now. I really don't understand. Your room looks mirrored. I don't know. I haven't done anything different. I haven't done anything different. So, do those not say inside Arsenal?
Is that like a backwards inside Arsenal or something that you'll see? On the screener. Let me know if that's... Can't review is reversed. That's weird. I don't know. I honestly haven't done anything. Maybe Streamyard is just flipping out or something. It's having a bit of a... Yeah. Everyone's got mad about it in the chat. Paintings are usually on the left. I can assure you I've done nothing. The room is exactly the same. It's obviously the camera or something has gone weird. I don't know what it is, but I can't... I don't really... I don't want to change anything now. I don't want to start again. Now we've started. Is it okay you just to carry on? Or is it going to wind everyone up too much? I'm pretty sure it's Streamyard. Is just having a bit of an episode or something. Because I don't quite understand what's happened. Let me have a look.
I've done nothing. I'm looking at the settings right now on the camera and it's saying, actually, nothing. To me, it looks exactly the same, which is a weird thing. Nothing looks different at all to me. But I'm going to go with it. Anyway, look, I'm going to go with it. You're going to have to deal with it on today's show. Apologies for that. Hopefully it'll all be at a level result tomorrow. But I will go with it for now. So you're going to have to deal with it. I'm afraid. I'm sure it'll be fine. I'll sure be fine. So, yes, press conference today. My colourful Tehran is press conference. I guess I'm interested in team news updates. We'll go over that. And then, like I said, we'll talk about what you had to say about transfer windows, where we spoke about Gabor Martinelli, as well as obviously that deal that has been confirmed since last time we spoke to Miguel Ateza. So on the team news, this is what you had to say on Bruno Gimmar Reich, who wasn't spotted in training yesterday. He said he had a knock against Villa in the previous game and he's being assessed. Hopefully tomorrow he'll be OK for training. So hopefully, Bruno will be training tomorrow according to Ateza Moscar as another player who missed out yesterday wasn't involved in the training session. He went from the sky cameras yesterday. He of course limped off against Ateza Moscar in midweek,
but it was Monday night. He said it was more of a precaution than anything else. So we'll have to see in the session tomorrow how he feels who then asked if Ezra Conzer is fit enough to start. And he said he's certainly available in the squad. So we'll see when we make our selection. Now, quite interesting on Jury and Timber, who we saw yesterday and took part in training with the group in the early stages of training, but then was doing stuff by himself while the cameras were down there. Anyway, Michele was asked about that. And he said he's in a really good condition at the moment. He's been a few weeks on the pitch now and he's been training with us. So he's in a really good place. So that's a positive update on Jury and Timber. And if he's going to be available for the game on Sunday against Chelsea, Michele just said we will decide again after training tomorrow. I would imagine that that's just Michele. I'll tell you Michele. I'll tell you when it comes to injuries. I'd be very, very, very surprised if Jury and Timber is involved in any way against Chelsea.
So in the squad, I would think you're looking beyond that. Obviously you've got Champions League next week. Then you've got the Sunland away. Then you've got Ipswich. You would think that Ipswich game is probably penciled in potentially for a first start during Timber. Maybe give him 60 minutes against Ipswich. Whether he gets any minutes before that in the Napoli game or the Sunland game, we'll have to see. But I would imagine the Ipswich game is just seems perfect for a first start in a long time for Jury and Timber providing everything goes well up to that point. But I'd be very surprised if we're going to see him involved against Chelsea. So that's what you had to say on Timber, on William Saliba. He was asked about that. Obviously Saliba has been included in Arsenal's Champions League squad. So that means he will be available to play in the league phase when he does return from injury, a sign potentially that maybe he's not too far away from coming back. I spoke about it this morning show that Arsenal had a very similar position with Gabriel J. Zeus the year before last. And they didn't include him in the squad. And then he came back quite early.
He came back in like November, but he wasn't able to play in those last remaining games. So there's done something different with Saliba now. And he said, we don't know the amount of weeks he's going to be out because it's all about healing process and everything's a bit different. We know we have to respect certain things. The progression has been really positive in the last few weeks, but we need to wait and see how that one reacts when we start to put some load into it. So that's what he had to say on William Saliba. So that's the latest injury news and team news from our TETA fairly positive. I would say certainly about during Timber, just seeing him back on the training ground is fantastic to see what a player during Timber is. But why it's been great so far and it's really good to see him and be able to fit and healthy and linking up again with sort of saccharin, no doubt about down that right hand side. But man, you want during Timber available. And he certainly don't want to run Ben White instead of ground because no good comes from that. We've learned that before. So the sooner you get Timber back, the better. A, because he's top quality, one of the best right backs if not the best right back in the league.
B, it means you don't have to just play Ben White week after week, minute after minute and risk that body of his breaking down. So yeah, positive stuff. I thought on the team needs to be very, very handy if Bruno is fit for the Chelsea game, be a real shame. I mean, this is a proper welcome to Arsenal for Bruno. Give my eyes, isn't it? You sort of get here, do your hamstring, come back, pick up some sort of knock in the first game, back in your only on the pitch about 20 minutes against that, to the villa. I mean, you couldn't get more Arsenal to that than that. It's good to see that he's fitting in pretty well. Obviously, there was a lot of talk about the transfer window in the press conference. And Arsenal's lack of income in certainly when it comes to the attack. Some interesting stuff I thought from Miguel on that. He did exactly what I thought he was going to do for some of the answers, which was the, I just focus on the players. I've got, I love my players. You know, it's a very Miguel Arterta type answer. We've seen him do that before and heard him do that before. It's exactly what he was sort of route. He went down when he was first asked about the attacking
options. He said, what I have to say is I love the players that we have. That's for sure. Because then I asked, you know, Chelsea, everyone's raiding about Chelsea. So I've got world class attack. Have you got any world class attackers? And again, he said, I love my players. That's what I can say in the bracket, how you want to put them. I don't know. I think the end of the season will put everybody in their place. So let's just trust them. Let's make sure that we're up behind them. And we do everything we can to help the incredible talent that we have. I thought that was quite interesting as well, because he was not stupid. MacKale, I know a lot of times he says, I don't listen to that. I don't read that. I don't look at social media or all that sort of stuff. I mean, I probably don't believe that. He's not stupid. He'll know what's being said. And he'll know the reaction that the lack of income in his cause in the transfer window. So I think that that sort of message is just a bit of a message to everyone. I'm like, OK, I get it. I know you're disappointed, but we've got a back the players we've got. And we can't sort of turn on them. Because he saw, I saw anyway, after the solace is tough, 45 minutes, which is always going to happen at some point.
But immediately then you see people jumping on his back on social media. I know he's not good enough. We need to sign someone else. And I think a lot of that stems from the frustration of what's happened at the end of the window. I think MacKale will be very keen to avoid that. It's like players are going to have bad games. They're not going to do well. It always happens. He can't be brilliant all the time. And I think MacKale will be very keen that when players do have bad games, that doesn't immediately lead to everyone getting on their back and saying that, not only Matt Awake, for example, it doesn't take much for people to start turning on not only Matt Awake. And he's going to be so important to Arsenal now between now and January. And I think MacKale will be very keen just to put that message across. So I wasn't surprised to see him say exactly that. Let's just concentrate on what we've got. So what else did he have to say on that? You see, he was asked, so many think you're sure what do you think in terms of height, in terms of short in attack. MacKale said, I don't know. Those are just opinions. The window is closed now. And I prefer to look at the incredible things that we have in this squad, not to spend any more time
on other things that are not part of us right now. And that's it. And that's my responsibility when he was asked if, whether there's a risk with the numbers of attackers asked, or we've got the fact that so many players went out, Martin Leigh Trossard, J. Zeus, went out, and you only brought Solis in. He said, I understand the point of view. But we have to understand as well the amount of minutes that those players played and the ones that were injured last year, especially in the first six months. And the data shows something completely different. But it is what it is. It is what we have, and as I said before, we already have some very, very good players. It was constantly going back to that of, we've got good players. He was, it was, I really was expecting him to do this. I wasn't surprised, do I? One thing I'll sort of, I look at that response, he said there. As he said, I understand the point of view, but you have to understand the amount of minutes of those players played. I mean, I don't know. They played a lot of minutes last season, six thousand between them. They played four thousand, I think, for Bruce. But they also contributed over 40 gold contributions. Those three players between them over the course of the season. So it's not like they were a bit part players.
They were very important players. Martin Ellian Trosson, basically the Linchpin's vast north left-hand side. So yes, I sort of, Tom asked him, Tom Kansen asked him a really good question. When he, he went back to that quote after the Champions of the Final, when he said we have to be ambitious, we have to be smart, we have to be quick. Tom said, so we all remember that quote. Are you happy that all three of those have been ticked off during the window? And he said, yes, 100% ticked. The outcome, after can be different to what you expect. But the intention is certainly there, which is my opinion, what I value the most. I thought that was an interesting response. The intention was certainly there. I don't think fans will necessarily agree with that. That all three of those boxes have been ticked just because the intention was there. But Michele there, that's kind of felt like a bit of a back-in to what those above him did in the window, a bit of a public back-in from then. James Oli asked him if the ambition in the market means intent.
And he said, well, yes, because it doesn't only depend on you when asked how hard it is to pull off a big transfer deal. He said, I think Andrea is the better person or Josh to talk to about that, because I'm not in those negotiations. They know much better than me. So I think these are questions that are related in the market. And all aspects, I think it's better than they speak about it. They can't speak about it, though, Michele. He always answers like that. That's one for Andrea Berkter. It's fine. Bring him up to a press conference. But they never do that. They never will do that. Same with Josh Konki, unless they were in the title. And then they will Josh out for a couple of interviews. So it's always a bit of a go-to response from Michele there. I'll better ask Andrea that. So well, we don't get the opportunity to do. So unfortunately, we have to ask you. I'll see you that. So those are the main talking points. Obviously, spoke about Gabriel Martinelli as well. Talked about how the gratitude, I think, was the word he used to describe Gabriel Martinelli and the journey that he'd been asked and all that sort of stuff. So there was lots of it. You can find the full press conference on haters.com.
It goes HattiesTV on their YouTube channel. You find the full press conference from there. And you also find the full transcripts on Arsenal.com as well. There was plenty of other stuff. That was talked about rights. Let's get on to the chat. Then Shao, we see what people have say in Polargana says, the age, how's life? Good to have you on here, Polargana also says, Defiant, Arteta, people still talking about the room. What the hell is going on with the room? I don't know. I can't see it. To me, it looks absolutely perfectly normal. Clearly something has gone on. And I don't, until I stop recording this and I can download it and I can see what all you guys are seeing. I have no idea. I have no idea. So yes, I am very aware, Maniche, that my background is mirrored on the YouTube feed. But I don't know why. It's something to do with StreamYard or YouTube. I don't know, I don't know apologies. The big love of what to me, company man, Arteta. Polargana says, Charles, we're in an, he's an Assassin's Creed here today. If I played Assassin's Creed, I would,
Creed, I'd know what you're talking about. But I don't. Ryan's joining for Florida. Good to have you on here. We got one from Muay, that says, Hi Charles, good content as always. Thank you. Don't you think it's time to move on from the window as it's created? Lots of negativity around the club and can affect the season. Yes, I do. But I mean, it has literally just been a couple of days and we haven't played a game since then. And this was the first press conference with Michaela Tetan. So I think this was always going to be a press conference where it's going to have to answer these type of questions. So no surprise there. I think you would have been expecting it as well. Obviously from now on, it's sort of the football starts to become the focus, start playing games week and week out. But I do think the whole of the first half of the season is going to be played out amid the kind of backdrop of what happened in the transfer window, especially if Arsenal do get some injuries in attack. I think because of their lack of the decision not to go out there and strengthen them and to let some key players go. I don't think they can really blame anyone if the focus does stay on that as well,
because that was their decision ultimately to do that. As far as I do think City will be too strong and easily when the Premier League after the brilliant transfer window. No, I don't really think they had a brilliant transfer window either. I mean, if science and players, but I don't know if I look at it as a brilliant transfer window for me. I don't think insofar and this is that good. The way he looks good, but obviously is a really, really young player who's going to have to learn the Premier League, Eddie Anderson, the recent massively overpriced, Jai, good player. Don't know how much you'll play. So I don't really look at City's window. I mean, they lost Roderick. I mean, it's just such a massive, massive loss. They've lost the best midfielder in the world who was so important to them on the same, in the same sum of their lost Bernardo Silver who was also so important to them. So I don't know. I don't look at City's transfer window as a brilliant one. I have to say, do I think they'll be too strong and easy when the Premier League know? I don't. They'll be right out there. Of course they will. They've got brilliant players, quality players. But I certainly don't think they're going to run away with the Premier League.
No, absolutely. Absolutely not. Dave says, Ezra or Solis, I presume you mean for Sunday, I would go Solis for Sunday, despite his tough afternoon or tough evening at Villa Park. I would still stick with Solis for this one. And as a bit of an impact sub in the second half either to come on in the central row or on the left hand side of Solis. Does struggle again, but look, Solis has been brilliant from the moment he started here. Every preseason game, the community shield, the gaming against Coventry, he's had one difficult 45 minutes against Aston Villa. I don't think because of that, that immediately means you have to lose your place in the scene. Last time he played at the Emirates, he was fantastic. He had everyone in that stadium on their feet every single time he got the ball. So I would stick with Solis for this one. If I was still talking about his mirror, it says, Charles, hold up your right hand. This is my right hand. I presume to you, it looks like my left hand, but that's my right hand. Dave's also asking, cons are almost scared out at cons for me. I think this is always going to be the game.
The cons came into the start in 11, even if Moscair was fit, I think cons are going to still start at this game. So I think it's a relatively easy one for me, especially with Moscair, I have any injuries. She's done great, but I think you bring in cons for a game like this against that Chelsea attack, which is going to be so strong. We know he's so strong, so fluid, he's going so dangerous, they're full of confidence. I think you go with cons for that game alongside Gabrielle, you have Declan Ryzen Bruno, if he's fit ahead of him, you know, I think that's a really, really strong spine that can try and deal with that Chelsea attack. And the best possible way, so for me, cons are... What do we got going on? Guessing is for game shows, not your business.

The end of the video. Aaron says, oh, my kids may be missed the start of the best arsenal content. Thanks, Mr. Watts, long time listener. First time send a message, keep up a great work. Thank you very much, Aaron, for sending in your first message, keep doing it. Join in the chat when you can, and thank you very much for the kind words. Appreciate that. What else have we got in the chat then, shall we? What's this from? This is on Martin Ellis. It says, when Harry says, when looking at goal outputs for a player, why do we put more emphasis on Premier League goals and Champions League? I, I, look, the Premier League is a bread and butter for Arsenal, obviously, it's the amount of it. It's a competition you watch the most, week and week out, and so, and it is a career. And for Arsenal, especially last season, everything was about the Premier League. We just had to win it. So I think there was obviously a lot of emphasis, but I did think it was very harsh when everyone just kept saying, well, it might be a good one goal last season. It's like, well, no, he didn't. He was Arsenal's joint second top goal scorer last season, and scored in really important games in other key competitions as well. So I think there was,
there is understanding a bit more emphasis because the Premier League is Arsenal, as I said, the bread and butter. It's what we see in play and in week and week out. And it's what a lot of people are judged on, but I think that was harsh and manly because it was still a not a bad scoring season for him last season, despite the struggles in the Premier League. It's an interesting one from Matt. He says, do you think our title played in capierre more once, Ezra starts getting more minutes on the left? Ezra isn't great defensively, and he would give a better defensive ballast in Califuri. Ezra, it's an interesting one. I remember asking McKellan a press conference last season about Ezra on the left and in capierre behind him. And if that's the sort of partnership that he envisaged in his head when Ezra first came in. And he did say that, yes, he does have partnerships in his mind. And that is the one that sort of jumps out as we, if Ezra is playing on the left hand side in the attack, then capierre feels like a better option for him because if it's Califuri, you can kind of see the two of them running into similar sort of areas,
whereas in capierre, when Ezra drifts into the central, then capierre will get down on the overlap a little bit more. But look, it was Ezra and Califuri that combined perfectly to set up the goal for Sackar on Monday night as well. And I do think Califuri defensively is kind of underrated a little bit. I don't really see there's a massive defensive difference in Califuri and in capierre. I think when asked about it, their best defensively last season, it was the first half of the season when Califuri was playing week and week out. And I think so far this season, he started excellently, defensively as well. So I think because he's so good in attacking sense Califuri, and he's such a unicorn type player that a lot of people just sort of look at him as an attacking player and think attacking a fallback and think our defensively is a bit suspect. But I don't really think he is. I think he's so much better now defensively. There's certainly what we saw in the early stages of his Arsenal career. But I agree, I do think that Ezra in capier does feel like a slightly better partnership. Like they work a little bit better together on that side than Califuri. And Ezra is so be interested to see what Michele does
if Ezra does sort of firmly, firmly push himself into the left wing spot. Rachel says Tottenham again relegated. That'd be nice. That'd be nice Rachel. Mitchell's feeling confident ahead of the game on Sunday. Says I think we win this easily. Also says nice to catch alive. Good to have you here. Alfonso says Charles, what's the deal with you in HHS TV? Does it mean you get, you go against your wish and have to cover other clubs now? No, absolutely not. No, no. It's just what I'm doing with HHS is just a bit of a sort of co-lab type thing, working with them on their Arsenal coverage. It doesn't change anything on this channel. This is absolutely still the thing that happens. Everything nothing changes. Shoes will go out at the exactly same time. It's just where HHS I'm just joining their Arsenal coverage basically, Match Days on occasion when I'm not in the stands. I can do stuff for them on the Match Days help them out there. And when they need me to talk to them
about various Arsenal staff analysis, insight, all that sort of stuff, I will be joining them for shows, but it's not going to affect anything else. And it's certainly not going to be me covering any other club, absolutely not. It's Arsenal. Arsenal or nothing for me. Nowadays you guys don't know fear about that. BMN says, do you believe Arsenal? Our TETA or an Arsenal injury update? I don't know. It's hard with our TETA isn't it, because he does pull the wall over our eyes a lot when it comes to injuries. I don't believe that during Timber will be available against Chelsea on Sunday. I'd be very surprised. I hope I'm right. I'll be great to see him get off that coach and be named on the sub bench against Chelsea, but I just feel it's a little bit too early. I just don't think that will happen. I think we'll see Timber. If not in Natalie then Sunland or definitely, I think it'll start against him, which if everything goes to plan. But I just feel like Chelsea will be a little bit too early and given the sort of quality of Arsenal's bench at the moment in the players who are having to be left out, I just don't think there's any need
to rush him back just to get him on the bench. That's interesting. Nick says image was also wrong way round on the bench episode. Words on posters are backwards. Why is going on? I will investigate. I'll investigate what's going on, because that is very, very strange. Because I don't think it was when I edited it and I was putting into YouTube studio. So that's interesting if the one with James has done that as well. Let's have a look. Rachel says it, switch our win in tonight. As far as says who from the under 21s can step up this season to help the senior team? I don't really think anyone will. But it's nothing Marley Sam has obviously known as the closest to helping out and being involved. And there's a lot of excitement about him. We'll see him in the car around Cup. But I don't really look at the under 21s and I'm not going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say that I'm going to say seven to six
to eight to seven to eight of you here. Because I'm going to say, you're hanging on another person. So because I can call myself a Guard player. Now even if he has the full formation and defy that guys at the same time then I'm going to say that I'm setting up our numbers Mitchell says, I didn't believe our tetas 100% ticked. He clearly felt so strongly about it. His voice cracked. We really should have got one of the options. Yes, I mean, he was always going to do that though. He was never going to come out and just slam how the transfer window is handled and slam the fact that he's not got another attacker and that loads of players have gone out without being replaced. He was never going to do that. And as I said repeatedly, I feel like there will be a lot of disappointment behind closed doors at Arsenal. Not probably not even just from our tetter, but I imagine that Bert will be disappointed. He hasn't got anyone. I imagine the cronkeys would Josh certainly will be disappointed that they haven't managed to get anyone.
And I think there'll probably be a bit of concern when they look at the strength chart on the board in André Bert's office that they have left themselves a little bit open to the injury to injuries. So yeah, I'm not sure it'll just be our tetter, it'll be frustrated with that. What else will you? Er, he says, will we be getting any new Arsenal EQT merch? No, no, I've just ordered some the way kit, the way kit shirt anyway. And that's my lot at the moment when it comes to new Arsenal merch. Just got afford any more of it. Hand of Arsenal's in the chat good to have you here mate. Appreciate all the updates and show child smashing likes. Appreciate all the updates. You give as well mate, of course. Keep them all coming. What else have we got going on in the chat there? Nathie says, I don't know what would make me happier between a 1-0 corner win or a 5-0 win. Well, I'd certainly be happy with a 5-0 win.
I did laugh the Chelsea have been training with those sort of rugby flatable things. I've been picture training with them. Michaela Satter was asked about in his press conference today and he said, look, we do it. It's a regular thing that teams train with that. But of course, it's been picked up on because of Arsenal because of set pieces because of maybe the last time Chelsea came to the Emirates and all the set piece for your array that happened after that game. And so yeah, it would be quite fun if we do beat a 1-0 set piece I've said. But I think if you're a 1-0 set piece winner or 5-0, I'm definitely taking the 5-0 note out about that. Jay says, if everything is backwards, does this mean we actually did sign a winger? Unfortunately not. Unfortunately not. Mark says, thoughts on the Yokras have a situation. Yokras know minutes so far and the way Yokras played against Villa, imagine the heat. That was Yokras. Well, thoughts are that I'm not overly surprised.
To be honest, Michaela's always going to play a have a set head of Yokras. And to be fair, I agree with him because he's just a better player. Surprise, Yokras hasn't played any minutes yet. Villa may be not so much because of the way that game pan out and the fact it was 1-0, we're 20-0 minutes to go. And I don't think Michaela would have had too much confidence on Yokras coming on and being able to hold the ball up in the last 20 minutes. I was certainly surprised against Coventry that he didn't come on three in luck against your former club. You know, why you didn't get half an hour there, I don't know whether it was just purely because he wanted to give someone a return in place to minutes who hadn't got as many minutes in pre-season and he used that to take advantage of it, I don't know. But Yokras is going to play plenty. He's going to play plenty. I think he has been on the naughty step. I think he has. I think this stuff that has gone on during the summer that didn't go down that well. Certainly with Michaela Teter and Arsenal in terms of how the, where the Barcelona links came from and stuff like that. And so I think he has probably been on the naughty step a little bit, but I think he'll come off that now the transfer window is closed and we'll start to see
Yokras getting some minutes again from an Arsenal point of view. You know, he'll definitely be playing. We got games, loads of games coming out, got Napoli wouldn't be surprised. Although I say that, actually I don't think, I don't think Michaela Wakingy changes for Napoli. I think he'll go as strong as possible pretty much there first away game in the Champions League. So might not be then we'll see Yokras start, but he'll certainly start against tips which in their caravan cup, but I fully expect him start against a minute's in a Premier League as well. No doubt about that. Mitchell says Yokras plays in the Champions League. Don't worry, there's more than enough minutes. Barack says Yokras was clearly a birter signing. Oli says, I'm assuming it's going to be raining again on Sunday, I comment the last time we played a league game in the sun. I don't know, I haven't looked yet. I am going down before the game on Sunday, I'm going over to Brixton, Kevin Campbell. I'm an ambassador for Kevin Campbell Foundation, just one of my favorite players growing up and someone I got to know
in a through sort of professional capacity later on as well and just such a tragic thing for him to lose his life so young. So I'm now an ambassador for the Kevin Campbell Foundation on Sunday. Before the game, his mural is being unveiled in Brixton where he grew up. So I'm going down to see his mural being unveiled to see his spend some time with some of his family members who are going to be down there and other people and then going to be heading over to the game afterwards getting to the game after. So hopefully fingers crossed that the sun does stay out because it'll be a real shame if it's raining down there and Brixton for the unveiling of the mural, mural, which is going to be fantastic and it's great to have Kevin remembered like that as well. And the foundation does so many great things and raises some great money as well, some great causes. And you'll see me posting about that on Sunday before the game. See, Lord says the video is reversed this morning too. Why is going on? It must be something to do with YouTube.
Let me just check something. I'm going to mute it so that it doesn't, how can I mute it? Let me have a look at something here. I know it must be something to do with streaming, I'd actually, yeah, because I'm checking it. I'm looking at what I've uploaded on the Patreon page and the words that are backwards on the Patreon page. I don't know, I will be checking it out and try and work out what's happened and set people happy with the Kevin Cam stuff. Yeah, it's great. It's great. I'm really looking forward to seeing that mural unveiled on Sunday. It's going to look very, very cool as well. It's got some good merch as well. The Kevin Camel Foundation that's coming out now. You'll see me retweeting it and stuff like that to raise money for the foundation as well. It's some very cool stuff and that's going to be on sale as well. Polargana says Nolan warned us about this internet. Oli says it's not a little icon on the camera. Is it? Is it?
It's modelling. Absolutely. And also, you were talking to the guy who managed to delete his entire podcast while trying to delete an episode, managed to delete his entire podcast. Admittedly, it was about 4 in the morning in Madrid and I'd been celebrating Arsenal, beating Ramadrida and knocking him out the Champions League of Bernabout. I wasn't exactly at the greatest of states, but that is something I did. I'm not the most technical. The fact that I manage to get shows out every single day on multiple platforms is to me a bit of a miracle. I will get it sorted, I promise. I will promise. You did the major. I did upload custom emojis to the discord. Very proud of myself for that as well. I did indeed do that. Right. I am gonna head off now anyway you guys. We've gone over half an hour Mark and I do need to actually go head off because I need to give the kids something for dinner.
