Today’s free show mentions a video of Origi’s goal set to the music to American Beauty? Any hopes people got a link?

Hearing that Arsenal fan say Aubameyang misses more opportunities than other top strikers is why saying random stuff without actually checking the numbers means you're prone to talking nonsense influenced by confirmation bias or other such factors.

Aubameyang has scored 9 goals from 13 games, has scored 10 goals from his last 10 shots on target and is running at 32% conversion rate in terms of shots to goal.

In comparison, Aguero's conversion rate is currently 14%, Salah 22% and Kane 17%. So yeah.. I don't think Aubameyang is doing too badly in terms of missing chances.

Weirdly some of them criticised Fabinho. And they're usually defending Hendo. If they like Hendo, they should definitely like Fabinho.

Yeah I was quite taken aback by him criticising Aubameyang. Obviously don't watch Arsenal as much but seems like he's having a fantastic season

He's top scorer in the league. Arsenal fans don't enjoy happiness.

I work with a few Arsenal STHs and up until recently they haven't been effusive with praise for Aubameyang. None were saying he's poor. In fact they all said he's a very good goalscorer. The main criticism was that he hadn't scored many goals in an important game or one against a Top 4 rival. Also, his all round play is relatively average.

Those criticism might be going away somewhat this season but I don't just think the Arsenal fan on TAW was a lone voice. His criticism may not have been directed accurately but my experience is that some Arsenal fans are skeptical of whether Aubameyang is an elite level striker.

Yep, he hadn't scored or assisted against a big six team prior to the Spurs match on Sunday.

Just listened to wildcards which was recorded before the Everton game. Loved Paul saying Mane's goal couldn't be beaten and then Craig saying he'd love another last minute winner

To be honest, drunk Graves: where is he at? If TAW go through the entire festive period without a smashed Graves, then we have all been failed. Use the sponsorship millions for the power of good!

The Friday Show is probably my favourite show. Genuinely brilliant. Reminds me (mists up) of being a kid and waiting for Granada's 'Kick Off' and Football Focus in the 80's. You get insight and info on there you don't get anywhere else and there's loads of it, in depth. Can't think of a better football show on radio or TV.

It’s a review of Sean Rogers guesses about what the manager is thinking, not the actual match though, and a load of “Actually here’s my contrary opinion....”. Consistently. His latest theory was that the high defensive line — which has been immaculate a huge part of us having the best defence in the league — should start dropping deeper. I can’t listen to him any more.

I’ve got to admit I agree, I thought the review show itself yesterday wasn’t up to normal standards although maybe my expectations have been skewed after the frivolity of the post-Everton stuff. I was driving at the time and genuinely had to turn over as it was making me drowsy.

Have we even conceded from a set peice this season?

Not listened to the review just yet, but it's always Sean's personal opinion I guess. I suppose the Burnley one is a set-piece goal if you really want to call it that, but it was a very lucky one for them.

Arsenal going unbeaten in the Premier League doesn't count because Chelsea beat them in the Champions League apparently. She really does seems to have something negative to say about everything. Senior and Atkinson kept me listening.

I actually like Rebecca. She does come out with some crap but she's generally quite funny and engaging. Also she doesn't just come on and talk about her own team like they're the greatest thing since sliced bread like a couple of other occasional contributors from the other end of the East Lancs road.
