Oof. Maybe Aston Villa with Unai Emery at home before a Champions League semi against Bayern Munich is the TRUE definition of a 'trap game'.

Join Gabby & Deen for a not at all cathartic ramble about an extremely damaging result. Tap in!

They also seek some outside perspective on the myriad issues the club is facing from one of SPS’s resident Arsenal trolls: Deen.
