\In this episode we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Arsecast Extra. There's some football chat with discussion of some managerial departures, the January transfer window and Mikel Arteta's contract – and throughout we reflect on a decade behind the mic doing this show through good times and bad, on and off the pitch. There are some clips of classic moments, songs, jingles and samples of some of the nonsense we've put out down the years, but which has always been a pleasure and privilege to do.
From myself and James, thank you so much for being with us throughout, and here's to the next 10 ❤️
