## Resource

In this episode I have five guests with me to look ahead to the new season. We hear from Amy Lawrence, Alfie Steiner, Laura Kirk-Francis, Andrew Allen and Dara O'Briain individually about how they feel going into the new season as champions, and what that changes based on previous campaigns. We also discuss things they're excited about, things they might be worried about, players they're most looking forward to watching, what remains of the transfer window and lots more besides. There's some other waffle, a look ahead to extra content over on Patreon, and a bit of Holy God FM too. Check out TheArtetaEpic.com – and use the code ARSEBLOG50 at checkout for 50% off.
