Hayley McGoldrick is back for another episode. She and Irfan talk about the new KC team in the NWSL and, refer to the problem that forced the sale of the team: the toxic racist and sexist environment previously created by then owner Dell Loy Hansen and chief business officer Andy Carroll. Their behaviour ultimately changed the culture for Real Salt Lake, Monarchs, and Royals. A new endeavour led by Angie and Chris Long provides as a fresh start for a fan base and the player/personnel that deserve another chance at a better culture! 

Irfan also asks Hayley about the turnaround in Arsenal's play with 8W2D2L (updated) in all competitions since the Chelsea win. The loss of Ozil will be felt but both agreed that Arsenal are building a team for the future that is truly Arteta's to coach and no longer carries the imprint of Wenger.
