#11: In Control

It's been a while since Alex Collings has been on the pod, so we sit down to discuss the three Premier League games Arsenal have played in that time: Southampton, Nottingham Forest and Chelsea. In doing so, we discuss what it means to be "in control" of a game, and what Arsenal are doing this season to be just so gosh darn good at it.
