Further information about Arteta’s pickpocket plan has come to light – Ken reports on today’s revelations in The Athletic from the former Arsenal Football Methodology Analyst, Kevin Balvers. Get ready for some pre-match activation chat.

Plus there’s the pampered player strike, indie sleaze enters the studio discourse and Eoin’s editorial judgment is once again called into question.
