As Arsenal lose their hugely popular Sporting Director, Edu, we ask why he'd want to join up with Nottingham Forest’s controversial owner Evangelos Marinakis? How it will impact Arteta and Arsenal's title hopes just under two months from the January transfer window? Clive Palmer from The Arsenal Vision Podcast fills us in...
Plus Gabby & Mark dissect two very different press conferences involving one former Manchester United manager (Jose Mourinho) and one incoming one (Ruben Amorim).
Later, as the world’s top eight tennis players battle it out at the end of year Finals, we look at what is life like for all the players that never make it to those heights?
