Another Arsecast Extra - with James from @gunnerblog. On this week's show we enjoy the thorough dismantling of Man City in the Community Shield, look at some of the stand out performances, and discuss the appointment of Mikel Arteta as captain in the wake of Thomas Vermaelen's departure to Barcelona. In the second half of the show, we answer questions from listeners about optimism levels for the new season, the reception that might be offered to some returning players, defensive midfield, and which Arsenal players we'd pick to save us from the clutches of an evil, quite despicable indeed, kidnapper.
