I was going to ask you as well, Rich, about Arsenal, because I sort of got the feeling
00:03
that in the last couple of years, when they have come pretty close to challenging Man City,
00:06
it was only two points the gap last year. It felt to me, first of all, that they really needed a
00:11
proper central striker. I know Kai Havertz has played pretty well there, Gabriel Jesus has his
00:16
qualities, but they haven't got a player who's going to score 20, 25 goals. They haven't got
00:20
even half a Haaland. And there's also that feeling that they're really reliant on players like
00:24
Bakayo Saka, like Martin Odegaard. And you think if one of those goes down, if one of them gets
00:30
injured, where's the replacement? And so I think they've sort of signed players, like Mourinho,
00:34
as Kurti said, really good player. Calafiore is a good player. Raheem Sterling, we know what he can
00:38
do at his best. But do you think they've still sort of, you know, missed a trick themselves by
00:41
sort of not signing a bit more depth up front? I do, yeah. I think that if you look at that gap
00:46
between them and City from last season, the season before that as well, there is just that
00:51
Erling Haaland-shaped hole. And it would be hypocritical of us to say, well, imagine City
00:56
without Haaland. Like you said, imagine Arsenal without Saka or Odegaard. They're a completely
01:00
different outfit as well. So I do feel they are just missing that man up front, the main go-to
01:06
guy. And I know they get goals from all over the pitch. They chip in better than most other teams
01:10
do. But you look at that team, you think, imagine if they had like a Viktor Osman up top, someone
01:15
who is just a goal-getter, that predator in the box. So I still feel that Man City are just,
01:23
they are as good as they were last season. Arsenal are a bit better, but I still think there is that
01:29
little golfing class when everyone's fit. And I think City still have the edge because they have
01:33
got that goal scorer that Arsenal don't have. Yeah. I mean, it was only two points on the
01:38
table, but it still feels like a decent sort of gap they've got to make up.
