But but I enjoyed that.

And equally and I enjoyed the fact that you've got a lot going on on a Saturday, three o'clock.

But when when Chris makes the rare mistake that he does make, you were in like a

I did.

Um just before we get on to the England squad, because I know you chaps will have lots to say on that, two two very quick tales uh from this week to tell you at the start of the pod that I think our listeners will enjoy.

Well

What a charming

Engaging, thoroughly nice fella.

I interviewed him and I I don't do many postmatch interviews nowadays, but I was in the tunnel at Portman Road on Tuesday night.

After Arsenal had convincingly beaten Ipswich in the League Cup and Mikhail Marino was put forward as the Arsenal player.

And you know, quite often you'll do player interviews and not get much out of them.

He was fantastic, articulate, eloquent, uh gave thoughtful answers, insightful answers.

Um I I just I just came away thinking, What what uh what an incredibly nice fellow.

So if you get the chance to interview Mikel Maria, he he's now my favourite Mikel at Arsenal.

So so so that's well Mikel Marino gave a very good answer on him, actually as did Mikel Arteta.

It's quite something, isn't it, to be I mean, we talked about him last season, but to be sixteen years old and to to genuinely be able to justify a place in one of the best squads in world football, we're we're gonna see more of him and and obviously the message afterwards from Mikel Arteta in particular was go careful, don't rush too much too soon.
