Nick, what was your assessment of that situation?

Yeah, I mean, as I mentioned before, it was a shocking decision.

And for VAR, I mean, I detest VAR.

It should never have been introduced.

Goal line technology is where I draw the line, quite literally.

And how, you know, I mean, the VAR is there to correct these clear and obvious errors that referees such as John Brooks seems to make more obvious.

often the most.

I mean, the Jokeres, the Maduekes, these are the players who kind of need to start impressing, don't they?

What do you think we know about this Arsenal side so far and how much can you tell about these two games?

Well, what we know is they're winners and they've got this belief now.

I think in any sport, and I've covered a lot of tennis, like Matt, we were just talking earlier about covering Wimbledon this summer.

Sometimes you get people and players, men and women, with such great promises.

Only once they break through and have a big win or win a big tournament or a grand slam Then once they've got that belief, they go on and win and win and win.

Just go to a whole new level.

They're still the same people, same sort of abilities.

Nick, how shocked were you by that result at the weekend?

They're not like Arsenal fans, are they, Nick? Nothing like an Arsenal fan,

right? So, I mean, so yeah, but I mean, this is the thing.

So I was, you know, Emmanuel Petit, you know, the 1998 World Cup winner and Arsenal double winner that season too.

He was on the radio this morning.

They were having this very same sort of conversation and he said, this was a big thing for Mbappé to say that he realised he's got to work harder defensively, become more of a team player.

And he was sort of saying, you know, he's been in dressing rooms in France where there's some big, big egos.

And he just thinks with Didier Deschamps, you know, the proven World Cup winning manager and player, in his last World Cup, it's the perfect time, the perfect storm for France to come together as one, to put egos aside.

Nick, do you have any thoughts on
