1:55

everyone Charles what's here welcome back to inside

1:58

arson with his Friday the weekend is very

2:00

nearly here I hope you haven't a good

2:02

one wherever you're watching or listening to this

2:04

around the world arson We're back in a

2:06

Premier League action of course this weekend with

2:08

a game against Bournemouth tomorrow evening 5 30

2:10

p .m. Kickoff at the Emirates head of

2:12

the second leg of the Champions League semi

2:14

-final against PSG McKellar Tetra is going to

2:16

be speaking a little bit later on today

2:18

at his press conference We'll see what he

2:20

has to say there About i suppose the

2:22

mood around the place following the feet in the

2:24

first leg during the week any sort of

2:26

team news updates what sort of changes he might

2:28

have in mind for today's game we're going

2:30

to talk about that in today's show look at

2:33

the sort of starting 11 that i said

2:35

to might go for i think it's going

2:37

to go pretty strong i'd be very surprised we

2:39

see wholesale changes ahead of the game against

2:41

psg but i think there'll be a few tweaks.

2:43

here or there to give a couple of

2:45

players a little bit of rest ahead of that

2:48

trip to Paris. Going to talk about the

2:50

latest from PSG, Usman Dembele, injury doubt for the

2:52

game in mid. We got a few other

2:54

comments and questions from you guys as well,

2:56

as well as going over last night's Premier League

2:58

action, which does have quite a big say

3:00

in terms of the race for the Champions League

3:02

places as well. But let's start with Bournemouth,

3:04

shall we? And the kind of decisions Miquel's gonna

3:07

have to make when it comes to his

3:09

team selection. Now, I don't think he's gonna make

3:11

too many changes for this one. I'll be

3:13

really, really surprised who does. He never tends to

3:15

anywhere. We know that about him. But I

3:17

think there will be some here or there.

3:19

The full backs, I think, will definitely see some

3:21

changes. That is the area where I think

3:23

he's the most confident about making changes because he

3:26

knows the strength and depth he has in

3:28

those areas. So I imagine Timber starts.

3:30

I don't think Lewis Skelly will start. I

3:32

think we'll probably see Ben White on the right,

3:34

for example, and then I reckon

3:36

maybe Alexander's in Chanko, but it could well be

3:39

Kieran Tinney. It's sort of further forward where you

3:41

look at it and think, now, is there anything

3:43

that you can do here? Now, obviously, we spoke

3:45

about Mike Odegaard a lot in the last 24

3:47

hours or so and the criticism that's coming in

3:49

his way, his poor form of late, his poor

3:51

performance against PSG. You know, is this

3:54

a good opportunity to take Odegaard kind of out the

3:56

firing line, give him a bit of a breather? I

3:58

think it probably is. If I

4:00

was Arteta, you know, after that performance against

4:02

PSG, when Odegaard was far from his best,

4:04

was very ineffectual. Just

4:06

take him out the side for this guy. I think

4:08

he plays in the second leg, you know, I said

4:10

that yesterday I don't think whatever happens I don't think

4:12

he's gonna get dropped for that second leg But I

4:14

think you could take him out the fire and I'm

4:16

a little bit for this one and that's something I

4:18

would probably be doing with these one that Ethan one

4:21

area coming in in that role alongside Declan rice I

4:23

think Thomas pie will come back into the team. I

4:25

don't think he'll do it I'm saying that's

4:27

what I think I would do I think

4:29

he'll probably stick with Odegaard in that position.

4:32

And if Monari does start, does come into

4:34

the start in 11, he'll probably be on

4:36

the right hand side. I think that's where

4:38

we're seeing Miquel use, use Ethan more and

4:40

more of late. I just don't think he

4:42

believes, and this is kind of opinion,

4:44

but I don't think when he, when he look at,

4:46

for all your doubts about Odegaard and lots of you

4:48

have got them, you've all expressed your feelings in the

4:50

comments in the last 24 hours or so. But

4:53

the one thing that he does do, you know,

4:56

he set the press, he does all that sort

4:58

of stuff. He has an awful lot of responsibility

5:00

for how Arsenal play and how they press and

5:02

all that sort of stuff. And I'm not sure

5:04

Arteta right now feels Ethan is clued up enough

5:07

to be able to do that in terms of

5:09

the importance of that position to the team. I

5:11

think he would probably rather him be out on

5:13

the right -hand side in place of Saka and

5:15

then Kipo to guard in that position. So even

5:17

when... came on for Odegaard against PSG. I thought

5:20

it was very notable and interesting that he went

5:22

out on the right hand side and it was

5:24

Sako He sort of moved inside to play more

5:26

in that Odegaard role. So I think that's an

5:28

area we might see a difference obviously Thomas party

5:31

comes back in I think he comes into midfield

5:33

and you can have push Marino further forward I

5:35

think maybe you rest Martin Ellie then and Trossard

5:37

could move from the left if you're playing Marino

5:39

Up front so there are options and I do

5:41

think it's important that some players get a rest,

5:44

but it's just not going to be wholesale

5:47

ones. You know,

5:49

you can imagine you could just basically chuck the kids

5:51

in for this game, but I don't think he'll

5:53

do that. It is an important game. So I think

5:55

he'll go sort of bits and pieces. I reckon this

5:57

might be the sort of lineup that we see

5:59

again. This is not the lineup that I want, that

6:02

I would necessarily want, but I think this is sort

6:04

of give or take. If you watch on YouTube,

6:06

you can see the image I've put up on screen

6:08

now. Give or take, I wouldn't be

6:10

surprised if this is a sort of lineup we see against

6:12

Bournemouth tomorrow. So

6:15

obviously there I've gone Raya white Saliba

6:17

kivyles in Chenco party odegard rice and

6:19

one airy merino Trossard, um, I obviously

6:21

who is it Brentford wasn't it before?

6:24

Um, recently the Arsenal play was it Brentford?

6:26

I think it was Brentford when sterling played

6:28

knows Crystal Palace. Sorry Crystal Palace When sterling

6:30

played I doubt we'll see that again. I

6:32

don't think sterling will come in for this

6:34

one. I'll be surprised but There is that

6:36

option There, of course, you could move in

6:39

Chenco into a sort of midfield role if

6:41

you want to play Tierney there as well.

6:43

So there are options to maybe if you

6:45

want to give Declan Rice a rest ahead

6:47

of the game against PSG, which would be

6:49

preferable for me, because it's just one of

6:51

those things. If you play Declan Rice, you

6:53

play Thomas Party and they get injured and

6:55

they miss the second leg against PSG, you

6:57

know, Othett is going to get

6:59

absolutely hammered for that. But then if you

7:01

don't play them and Arsenal lose the Bournemouth

7:03

and then go into the PSG game on

7:05

the back of a defeat and Champions League

7:07

still not being secured, then he's going to

7:10

get hammered for that as well. So it's

7:12

kind of a A lose -lose situation, but

7:14

I just know in sort of Michael the

7:16

way your priests like I do I would

7:18

just be I think he'll He will sort

7:20

of move towards playing the stronger 11 Daniel

7:23

here got in touch and said the Bournemouth

7:25

game is not a must is definitely not

7:27

a must win It'd be nice, but the

7:29

player selection rotation should be all about Tuesday,

7:31

which is quite an interesting point. I wonder

7:33

how many people sort of think

7:36

that as well that it is not

7:38

absolutely must I think it is pretty

7:40

much a must win game for Arsenal

7:43

this one I just think you want

7:45

to put top five to bed and

7:47

basically if you win this one it

7:49

is I mean the results last night

7:52

in in the Premier League it was

7:54

Brentford obviously going tonight in the forest

7:56

and winning 2 -0 and then you

7:58

look at that league table now Forrest

8:01

and Chelsea are both on 60 points with

8:03

four games to go Arsenal on 67 in

8:05

second with four games to go Forrest and

8:07

Chelsea play each other on the final day

8:09

of the season So the most that both

8:11

of those teams can get to one of

8:13

them can get to 72 Obviously, but if

8:15

one of them gets to 72 that means

8:17

one of them has lost that final game

8:19

at a season So the highest they can

8:21

get to is 69 if both of them

8:23

win three of their last four games and

8:26

then draw when they play each other They

8:28

both get to 70 points. So if Arsenal

8:30

win On Saturday you're on 70 points there

8:32

with a much better goal difference You've basically

8:34

got top five secured if you win on

8:36

Saturday, whatever happens And then you've got three

8:38

games to go where you don't really it

8:40

doesn't really matter and you've got Southampton on

8:42

the final day So you're pretty much done

8:44

and dusted really even if you get a

8:46

point at the weekend I think that should

8:48

be fine as long as you beat Southampton

8:50

Which let's face it Arsenal should do on

8:52

the final day that will get you to

8:54

71 points and it doesn't even matter what

8:56

happens against Liverpool and against Newcastle

8:58

with those two games in between. So I do think

9:00

this game is an important one. I also think it's

9:02

important just to go into the PSG game on the

9:04

back of a win. You know,

9:06

it's been so stop -start for Arsenal of

9:08

late of sort of getting one win, then

9:11

having a really stodgy Premier League game, dropping

9:13

more points, drawing. There's been no momentum, anything

9:15

like that. And I just think it's important

9:17

to go into a game as big as

9:19

PSG next week, just with that winning feeling

9:21

in your mind. I just think it'd be

9:23

so much better. as sort of

9:25

morale, whatever you want to call it, then going

9:28

into it on the back of another disappointing game

9:30

where you've dropped more points when you've sort of

9:32

had a lot of scrutiny on your performance on

9:34

your result. Fans aren't going to be too happy.

9:36

There's going to be fallout. If Arsenal dropped more

9:38

points against Bournemouth, it just doesn't feel like the

9:40

ideal situation to go into a game as big

9:43

as that PSG second leg where you're basically going

9:45

to have to produce, you know, one of your

9:47

best ever performances to turn it around and give

9:49

yourself a chance of getting into the Champions League

9:51

final. I'd feel so much better

9:53

about that going into going into it on the

9:55

back of a on the back of a win

9:57

So I think it's an important game and I

9:59

think Michael certainly view it as an important game.

10:01

So I don't see Massive changes as I said

10:04

few definitely in the full back area is probably

10:06

a couple in the attacking areas But that is

10:08

about it. But let me know your thoughts on

10:10

it in the comments below I'll pull some of

10:12

those together get them including tomorrow morning's preview show

10:14

as usual. And like I said, press conference happening

10:16

a little bit later on. So we'll get to

10:18

see or hear what McKell has to say on

10:20

that very matter pretty, pretty soon. Progressive

11:22

Right just quickly sort of turning our

11:24

attention over to France and PSG of

11:27

Susan Dembele's goal was the difference on

11:29

the day on the night Sorry last

11:31

night last night on Tuesday night in

11:33

the Champions League semi -final He went

11:35

off for about 20 minutes to go

11:37

in that game with a Suspected hamstring

11:39

issue and he is not going to

11:41

be available for their game this weekend

11:43

So he's considered a doubt for the

11:46

arsenal second leg something tells me he'll

11:48

play There's reports coming out of France

11:50

right now. Just before I did this

11:52

video the keeper have done a story

11:54

on its end He's going to miss

11:56

the game this week, but PSG are

11:58

hopeful that he will feature against Arsenal

12:02

And you would imagine if he answers any sort of doubt

12:04

over him, it's the right move for them just to not

12:06

have him involved because he's so so important to them. He

12:08

scores so many goals. He's

12:10

absolutely essential to the house, his PSG team play at the

12:12

moment and the sort of new form they found in the

12:14

second half of the season. So if there's any sort of

12:16

doubt over him, any sort of concern, they're going to give

12:18

him the weekend off and do everything they possibly can to

12:20

make sure he is fit for the game. It would be

12:22

a huge boost for Arsenal if you were to miss out.

12:24

Obviously, you've got to worry in yourselves, go

12:26

and do the job yourselves, but. It would be

12:28

a big, big boost for Arsenal if they didn't

12:31

have to use Ben Dembele to worry about. Obviously

12:33

PSG have got a lot of strength and depth.

12:35

They showed that with the substitutions they made in

12:37

the semi -final on Tuesday night. But, you know,

12:39

Dembele is so, so key to them. He's such

12:41

a threat. He scores so many goals. You

12:44

know, he's... Hit him find informed the way

12:47

he has in the second half of the

12:49

season has been such you know It's been

12:51

key to the transformation that they've shown over

12:53

the second half of the season as well

12:55

certainly in Europe so Yeah, we'll wait and

12:57

see we'll keep an eye on that one

12:59

see if anything develops on it by the

13:01

moment He's considered a doubt but PSG are

13:03

hopeful that he will recover, but he won't

13:05

be playing this weekend Right,

13:09

moving on. Now, we've got one from Goon at

13:12

72 who's got in touch. Thank you very much.

13:14

He says, I do think the Odegaard thing is

13:16

getting out of hand, really. He has been our

13:18

best player for two seasons and has rightly been

13:20

awarded the title, the Player the Season Award. He

13:22

suffered a pretty nasty injury early on. He's not

13:24

been the same player since. Hopefully, having the summer

13:26

off will give him enough rest to come back

13:28

stronger next season. He has enough in the bank,

13:30

in my opinion. See, this is where I am

13:32

on it and I'm not going to spend too

13:34

much more time. I spoke about it a lot.

13:37

yesterday in both shows I did and Honestly reading

13:39

the comments So many you're not listening to what

13:41

I was saying in it as well, you know,

13:43

I'm not defending Odes up guards for me It's

13:45

not been good enough and he deserves to get

13:47

criticism for that Of course he does he's Arsenal's

13:49

captain if you're not performing if you're not playing

13:51

well and he didn't play well against PSG Then

13:53

you deserve criticism. What my problem is is just

13:56

some of that how over the top some of

13:58

the criticism Feels to be yes critique criticize the

14:00

player, but you've also got support the player. He's

14:02

still his Arsenal's captain I don't know that maybe

14:04

that's just me as that how I feel about

14:06

supporting the players on my team

14:08

that yes, he's having a bad time. Yes, I

14:10

want him to do more. Yes, it frustrates me

14:12

when I see him basically be a passenger in

14:14

a game, which he was against PSG. Arsenal need

14:16

more than that. And I don't think he should

14:18

be above being dropped. If he's not playing well

14:21

enough, then our tetters should drop him. I wouldn't

14:23

play him this weekend, for example. But I still

14:25

think as Gooners 72 says here, he has enough

14:27

in the bank. And I'm still, you know, I'm

14:29

still sure, confident, hopeful, that we will see,

14:31

might I know, I'll get back to the type of form that he has

14:33

shown in the previous two seasons, that he hasn't shown it this year. and

14:36

that's disappointing but that sort of comment at

14:38

the end he's got enough in the bank

14:40

in my opinion I still think he is

14:42

in that position as far as I'm concerned

14:44

I get it other people have other opinions

14:46

and that's what football's about and so that

14:48

that's fine but I just think and again

14:50

I don't want to go too much into

14:52

it I just think some of the criticism

14:54

it just gets into this sort of hyperbowl

14:56

stage of get him out on my club

14:58

I'm not saying everyone's doing that but I

15:00

see it get him out on my club

15:02

sell him and just like just to me

15:04

I just sit down and think it's mad.

15:07

It just seems absolutely mad to me. But

15:09

again, not going into it anymore. I said,

15:11

said what I had to say yesterday on

15:13

it. Thank you very much, Gooner 72 for

15:15

getting in touch on that one. Nick

15:18

here has also got in touch and says, Charles, this

15:21

is Nick from St Kitts. Oh, lovely

15:23

stuff. It's Thursday afternoon here and I'm watching

15:25

two of the worst teams in the Premier

15:27

League would in Europa League semi -finals. One

15:29

of which will be in, will win European

15:31

silverware this year. I know you mentioned that

15:33

you try not to listen to opposing fans,

15:35

but imagine the noise that will be coming.

15:37

We just have to win the Champions League.

15:39

Nick, I'll be honest, we do have to

15:41

win the Champions League. But

15:43

that is not to do with someone else

15:46

winning the Europa League. I couldn't care less.

15:48

Honestly, I couldn't care less if their fans

15:50

are going to make a load of noise.

15:52

I already saw Jamie O 'Hara, a tweet

15:54

on James being shared on my timeline straight

15:56

after the full -time whistle yesterday, saying if

15:58

Tottenham win the Europa League, they've had a

16:00

better season than Arsenal. I

16:03

mean, I don't care. I

16:06

don't care. And if anyone, Tottenham might

16:08

win the Europa League, they

16:10

might have had a better season for Arsenal because

16:13

of that. Not in my view. No, they've lost

16:15

20 Premier League games. They're 17. They could easily

16:17

be in a relegation battle this season if we

16:19

didn't have three of the worst Premier League titles,

16:22

three Premier League sides ever in

16:24

the league. They're not a good

16:27

team. They're in it. They

16:29

can win a competition that Arsenal can't win

16:31

because Arsenal aren't in it. So I just

16:33

don't buy into it. If they win it,

16:35

they win it. I just don't really overly

16:37

care. I hope they don't. I'd rather Man

16:39

United win it than them. But

16:42

the fact that Man United, again, could win a

16:44

European title as well. It's mad, but it is

16:46

what the Europa League is now. No Champions League

16:48

teams drop into the Europa League anymore. Of course,

16:50

this is the first season. It hasn't happened. So

16:53

the Europa League is far weaker when it gets

16:55

to this stage. Tottenham are playing Bodo Glint in

16:57

the semifinal. You

16:59

know, that's just that and that's no disrespect to

17:01

Bode who's got a brilliant home record. And by

17:03

the way, that ties not over yet. That late

17:05

goal for Bode yesterday, you know, any two goals

17:07

in it going into that game and Bode at

17:10

home are very, very strong. We know that on

17:12

that sort of plastic pitch or artificial pitch of

17:14

theirs. So that ties not over. But yeah, I

17:16

just Nick, I don't really care about the noise

17:18

that will be coming from their fans. It really

17:20

I just far more focused on on Arsenal. And

17:22

yes, we do have to win the Champions League

17:24

because it would just be

17:26

unbelievable for us not really to silence

17:29

noise from other clubs that I have

17:31

to say it just doesn't that whole

17:33

thing on social media of other fans

17:35

taking the piss out of other teams

17:37

for stuff it just washes over my

17:39

head now you know it really doesn't

17:41

kind of I'm 44 years old I've

17:43

got two kids I can't be I've

17:45

got too much time trying to worry

17:47

about them and what they're doing than

17:49

worrying about some people I don't know

17:51

on social media some rival fans having

17:53

a go and taking a mitt, it

17:55

just, it does not bother me in

17:57

the slightest, I have to say. But

18:00

yeah, interesting. I know lots of people are

18:02

watching that Man United Athletic game yesterday and

18:04

weren't too impressed with Nico Williams' performance. I

18:07

didn't see it. I have to say I didn't watch either of them. But

18:11

yeah. Not too many

18:13

people to impress with Nico Williams's performance in that.

18:15

I think he's just coming back from an injury

18:17

though So maybe there is a bit context to

18:19

be put behind that anyway, and that's it for

18:21
