And everything else on top of that.

Indo Sport
Friday panel | Evolving sports journalism, physical football, Arsenal psychoanalysis

A little bit of luck.

Indo Sport
Friday panel | Evolving sports journalism, physical football, Arsenal psychoanalysis

You need some luck along the way.

Indo Sport
Friday panel | Evolving sports journalism, physical football, Arsenal psychoanalysis

in the Premier League yeah and it's a scroll the previous week PSV went to Newcastle and got absolutely hammered

Indo Sport
Friday panel | Evolving sports journalism, physical football, Arsenal psychoanalysis

And they had been going really well.

Indo Sport
Friday panel | Evolving sports journalism, physical football, Arsenal psychoanalysis

They were on a long unbeaten run in the year to VC and had beaten Liverpool, hammered Liverpool at Anfield.

Indo Sport
Friday panel | Evolving sports journalism, physical football, Arsenal psychoanalysis

And Newcastle just steamrolled them because the physicality of these Premier League teams in comparison to the Bundesliga teams, bar maybe the top, top sides, they're overpowering these teams.

Indo Sport
Friday panel | Evolving sports journalism, physical football, Arsenal psychoanalysis

What I would say to Andy Gordon's point is,

Indo Sport
Friday panel | Evolving sports journalism, physical football, Arsenal psychoanalysis

He's obviously, he isn't mentioning these teams, but he's talking about these low block teams like a Burnley, for example.

Indo Sport
Friday panel | Evolving sports journalism, physical football, Arsenal psychoanalysis

So every week when you, when these teams play in the Premier, the Champions League, they're playing the best teams from those countries.

Indo Sport
Friday panel | Evolving sports journalism, physical football, Arsenal psychoanalysis

And those teams, so a PSV Eindhoven, are used to going out and play this free-flowing open football that's almost always good enough to beat whatever their opposition is on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon.

Indo Sport
Friday panel | Evolving sports journalism, physical football, Arsenal psychoanalysis

And so when they go to play in the Champions League, they play in a very similar style.

Indo Sport
Friday panel | Evolving sports journalism, physical football, Arsenal psychoanalysis

And so these clubs are allowing

Indo Sport
Friday panel | Evolving sports journalism, physical football, Arsenal psychoanalysis

the Liverpool, Tottenham, Newcastle to actually play.

Indo Sport
Friday panel | Evolving sports journalism, physical football, Arsenal psychoanalysis

Whereas when they go to play, because they're not going to just go out and put 10, 11 men behind the ball when they're playing Liverpool on a Tuesday evening and then have to then reprogram themselves to go and play a local team in a derby game in the Norwegian League or something on the Saturday.

Indo Sport
Friday panel | Evolving sports journalism, physical football, Arsenal psychoanalysis

And so it's almost an affront.

Indo Sport
Friday panel | Evolving sports journalism, physical football, Arsenal psychoanalysis

Like the way you hear Ernest Lott speak in recent weeks about this low block.

Indo Sport
Friday panel | Evolving sports journalism, physical football, Arsenal psychoanalysis

It's like he's actually giving out to the opposition for setting up the way they are.

Indo Sport
Friday panel | Evolving sports journalism, physical football, Arsenal psychoanalysis

You're making our lives really difficult.
