About this episode
We knew those bloody balloons were a bad omen. Laura and Jonny react to Arsenal's chastening defeat at Southampton as we crash out of the FA Cup.
We discuss where it all went wrong, from the errors across the backline, to the general lack of urgency and reactivity in both the players and Mikel Arteta that is becoming a growing trend.
There's praise for Max Dowman – but also the startling realisation that he was by far Arsenal's best player. It's fair to say Laura and Jonny kept this one real, so come join us.
