  • Arsenal through the generations: Sesko vs Gyokeres
    Jun 5 2025

    Welcome to this special edition of Handbrake Off where the multi-generational crew have decided to reconvene to see if they can reach the kind of consensus Mikel Arteta and Andrea Berta need on the hot topic of a new striker for Arsenal.


    Amy Lawrence is joined by our range of Arsenal fans from across the years. Arthur, The Athletic’s resident teen, Handbrake's Art de Roché, and Richard, our most mature (legendary) supporter.


    So, the key dilemma that is keeping Arsenal fans from sleeping soundly is to Sesko or to Gyokeres, that is the question. The drip drip of whispers and hunches, breaking developments about concrete talk - god forbid any talk should be non-concrete - is already getting irritating.


    The panel discuss the options, with the aim of agreeing on who they would choose if they were Arsenal’s new sporting director.
