Episode 807 - Acceptable in the 80s

arseblog.com
About this episode

In this episode I'm joined first by Clive Palmer for an Arsenal Interlull round-up, starting with news of Ben White's injury/surgery, and how that has clearly been an issue for him for some time. We chat about player performance while carrying injuries, wonder if Gabriel Jesus can ever rekindle anything even close to his best form, and discuss the big off the pitch story of the week involving referee David Coote.


Then I chat to Arsenal fan and author Jon Spurling about his new book: 'Go to war - football on the brink in the 80s'. We talk about football was informed by society at the time, and some of the most difficult moments the game in England has ever endured, as well as some of the great characters and positive stories, including a final chapter than revolves around Anfield 89.


Buy Jon's book here – https://www.hive.co.uk/Product/Jon-Spurling/Go-To-War--Football-on-the-Brink-in-the-80s/29638783 – or via your local independent bookstore.
