Left Field

Panenkas, Smith Beats Arteta, Goodbye PPV, Masters Menu, Biden Ball & Heights

There have never been so many penalties in football, so perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that players are finding new and ingenious ways to miss them. But we are. From Kevin de Bruyne to Zlatan Ibrahimovic via Ademola Lookman, missed spot kicks were all the rage last weekend. We talk tactics from 12-yards out.

Having beaten Manchester United, Arsenal were supposed to consolidate their big boy credentials against Aston Villa. They did the exact opposite as Dean Smith's Jack Grealish-inspired Villains put them to the sword at the Emirates. What went wrong for the Gunners?

Elsewhere in football, we discuss the premature end of pay-per-view matches, Wrexham's proposed Hollywood investors, Ranger's resurgence in Scotland and AFC Wimbledon's return to Plough Lane.

After the break, we look ahead to this weekend's US Masters and, more specifically, the menu options being offered to the players on the eve of the tournament. We also hazard a guess at who might win in Augusta.

In the week that Joe Biden became US President-Elect, we ask whether we could throw a baseball better than a 78-year-old. It's touch and go...but more likely than either of us climbing 3,000 feet up Yosemite without a harness.

Enjoy the show. It's Episode 69, after all.
