Handbrake Off: The Athletic FC's Arsenal show

Join Ian Stone, Amy Lawrence, and James McNicholas for a look back on Arsenal's win over Leicester on Sunday evening.

After a relatively comfortable win over Leicester we talk about the importance of Martin Odegaard and his comments about happiness in the team. We discuss the roles of Xhaka and Tierney too. And after Chelsea's owner Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the UK government, we ask what does that mean for Arsenal and football?

Oh and James has a great story that involves a bus stop and a former Arsenal player.

Flo Lloyd Hughes joins to tell us all about the disjointed state of Arsenal Women and answer our questions about the likelihood of Miedema's Arsenal exit.
