In this episode of the pod Ben Haines is joined by former Liverpool, Manchester City, West Ham and England goalkeeper David James and ex-Wales, Swansea and Aston Villa left-back, Neil Taylor as they deep dive into Sunday’s biggest football stories. They start with Mikel Arteta – who made the headlines after an extensive interview he gave to Spanish newspaper, Marca. In it he talked about turning around the fortunes of the club, how impressed he is by Kai Havertz and his relationship with Pep Guardiola. They get a fan's perspective, as Harry Symeou from the Chronicles of a Gooner Podcast joins the chat and gives his reasons as to why many fans would not be happy if Havertz did join the club. And the elephant in the room gets mentioned too… the future of Declan Rice - will he go to Arsenal or Manchester City? (David also gives a West Ham fan angle to the debate…which includes a move abroad.) Then, with news of Aaron Ramsey being linked to his boyhood club, Cardiff City – Ben, David and Neil discuss ‘romantic’ transfers and if the lull of being back home and nostalgia is a key factor for players in the transfer market. And David and Neil talk matters off the pitch – with the projects that they are working on to promote diversity in the game. Neil shares his work with the PFA’s Asian inclusion scheme and David lets us in on the job he is doing to promote more diversity in refereeing at all levels of the sport, from grassroots to the Premier League.
