Foptimism: Recent Episodes
Amol
In a world which is rather getting full of negativity, especially the world of sports, I just thought it will be a nice idea to bring some positivity into the world.
That logic strongly applies to the world of sports, where every swing of bat, foot, hand, head, mouth, and even thoughts of the brain are scrutinised. Sometimes, bringing the worst out in a fan.
On this pod, you will hear news, and facts, and moments that sometimes we chose to ignore. The world is far from perfect, but it is also far from doomsday.
Host Amol Sehgal hosts lifelong Arsenal supporter, and editor at NDTV, Abhimanyu Bose to speak all things Arsenal.
From the horror start to last season, when Arsenal languished at the bottom of the table to now, when Arsenal see themselves top, the two discuss the remarkable journey of Arsenal, and Super Mik Arteta.
- Should Arsenal have persisted with Aubameyang? Could he have pushed them to a top 4?
- What would have been, if Arsenal had backed Unai Emery like Mikel Arteta?
- Have Tony Adams and Sol Campbell finally been replaced?
- The full back conundrum. A good problem to have?
- Are Arsenal better off in the Europa League this season?
- Are Arsenal the new Man City? They surely are All or Nothing.
All that, and more, on the latest episode of Foptimism.
