in it's been a fantastic journey that the team have been on but that that would be my yeah my one criticism if you like okay matt murray thank you so much for your time we were taking the make of your background a bit earlier on we feel bad for making you move your camera now so we see more of your door and less of that wonderful trophy cabinet you've got behind you

No problem.

Thank you so much, Matt Murray.

Thanks for your time.

Coming up next on the football show, we are going to be joined live by the Arsenal head coach, Mikel Arteta.

Good morning and welcome back to the football show.

I'm absolutely delighted to say that we are now joined by someone who's fixed his connections.

It's the Arsenal head coach, Mikel Arteta.

Good morning, Mikel.

Hello.

Thank you so much for joining us.

We'll get straight into it with you.

How are preparations going?

How were the plays?

You played against Brentford in one of your friendlies.

What did you learn from that performance, despite the loss?

Mikel, we saw before the Brentford game, the players took the knee and they all each wore different t-shirts with different writing on it to symbolize their support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

I just wondered whether that was something the players wanted to do.

Was it their idea?

Was it the club's idea?
