Description

He’s fifteen. He’s supposed to be doing his GCSEs. And just the coursework, he shouldn’t be taking exams until next year. Max Dowman is young. But he seems to be really good for Arsenal too. Adrian Clarke was young and good for Arsenal once and he’s seen a few come through the ranks since. How does he rate Dowman and what can be done to look after the boy?



Plus we’ve got a full weekend round-up including Seb Stafford Bloor’s thoughts on Bayer Leverkusen’s shock opening day defeat. 



Listen now, follow if you like it, five star it if you really like it and if you absolutely adore it, give us a proper review, it makes such a difference.
