Alex, Lorcan & Towells discuss a frustrating game against Fulham, where two of Arsenal's worst recent habits reared their ugly head: Conceding within the first minute at home, and dropping into a block the moment a lead is gained.
At the top of the podcast, we discuss the passing of our friend Omar. His friend Jonathan Peters is running a marathon to raise money for the charity James' Place, who help to support suicidal men. If you have the financial means to donate in Omar's honour, you can find a link to Jon's Justgiving page here: https://www.justgiving.com/page/jonathan-peters-1690993495166?utm_medium=fundraising&utm_content=page%2Fjonathan-peters-1690993495166&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=pfp-share
