What was intended as the North London Derby preview podcast on That Sums It All Up turned into an excellent more general Arsenal vs Spurs discussion with Sam Lavender - https://twitter.com/SamLav20 - (yes, he's a Spurs fan).
- We discuss the issue of postponements in the Premier League, and where the blame lies in light of Arsenal's (successful) request to postpone the weekend's North London Derby.
- We then cast our eyes over Spurs' Carabao Cup semi-final exit to Chelsea, and contrast their efforts to Arsenal's valiant first leg performance in the 0-0 draw vs Liverpool at Anfield.
- There's some debate about Arsenal's recent form, including the 2-1 loss to Manchester City, and Sam offers his perspective on the work Mikel Arteta is doing his young side.
- In keeping with the podcast's essence to give all fans a voice, we turn to all things Tottenham, and I ask Sam about where he feels Spurs are at the moment. We discuss the farcical managerial merry-go-round of the last year, and assess Antonio Conte's ongoing impact.
- We sum up with our end of season predictions, broader assessments of our clubs' trajectories, and predictions for the game that never happened...

Happy New Year from That Sums It All Up, and welcome back to the first episode of 2022! I'm joined once again by Johnny Rosen to pick apart Arsenal's 2-1 home loss to Manchester City.
We discuss the exceptional first half performance from a Mikel Arteta-less (on the sidelines) Arsenal, highlighting Thomas Partey, Takahiro Tomiyasu, Gabriel Martinelli, and Bukayo Saka's outstanding contributions. We reflect upon the team's dominance over City in that first half as a culmination of the belief, positivity, and promise that the collective and individual efforts are conjuring at this moment in time .
Then, we assess the more contentious talking points of the game - VAR, penalty decisions, Gabriel's red card, and Stuart Attwell's individual refereeing performance - this leads onto the broader issues of accountability, diversity, and change.
After summing up how we, as Arsenal fans, are feeling after that performance, result, and sense of injustice, we look ahead to our FA Cup clash with Nottingham Forest, the Carabao Cup semi-finals vs Liverpool, and the North London Derby looming large in a week's time.

Episode 15 of 'That Sums It All Up' sees my lovely guest (Julian Plehn) and I discuss PLENTY of football.
Europa League progression first. The 1-1 draw to Benfica. The 3-2 win over Benfica. The next round against who – you guessed it, it’s Groundhog Day – Olympiakos. We’ll talk Bukayo Saka, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Kieran Tierney, our relentless capacity to shoot ourselves in the foot & the significance of progressing through to the next round.
Then, to the Premier League. A quick chat about the Manchester City game. But a bigger chat about the Leicester match. A positive conversation about Willian. Pepe showing his promise again. Granit Xhaka holding it all together. And all in all, a thoroughly enjoyable performance, result & momentum to take into the next couple of games – we’ve got Burnley, then Olympiakos either side of the North London Derby. Make or break yet again.
Enjoy!

Episode 13 of 'That Sums It All Up' sees my lovely guest (Julian Plehn) and I discuss Arsenal's 2-1 loss to Wolves in the Premier League.
Oh how different it could have been. Importantly, we discuss the positives from the game - Nicolas Pepe's exceptional goal, Bukayo Saka & Thomas Partey's imperious first half display.
However, as we know, David Luiz was sent off on the stroke of half-time for a controversial 'foul' that denied a clear and obvious goalscoring opportunity. Jules & I discuss the ridiculousness of the rules, but the frustration of allowing a situation like that to develop just before half-time.
We touch upon Bernd Leno's crazy red card before looking ahead to the weekend's game vs Aston Villa, and the importance of continuing the impressive form of the last several games.
And finally, we assess the success of the January transfer window in terms of trimming the squad & making two smart additions.

Episode nine of 'That Sums It All Up' sees my lovely guest (Johnny Rosen) and I deal with Arsenal's 2-0 defeat in the North London Derby.
We discuss: the worrying ease with which Spurs scored both their goals, Arsenal's tactical naivety, why Mikel Arteta didn't revert to his tried and trusted 'big game' system, Thomas Partey's injury incident & our yet again underwhelming attacking style.
And of course, the discussion inevitably leads into some of the bigger questions: is Arteta's job on the line, whether the club can afford a mid-table finish & why more generally there is serious cause for concern for Mikel Arteta at Arsenal right now.
