Ok, you have. It's James from Gunnerblog but this isn't an Arsecast Extra, it's still a regular Arsecast. He joins me on very short notice to discuss the midweek win over Southampton, resting Alexis at some point, Emi Martinez and the upcoming trip to Stoke. You can win goodies from Savile-Rogue and a copy of the Arseblog book, along with all the usual waffle.
