Off The Ball Breakfast - Weekdays: 7:30AM

Off The Ball, in partnership with Guinness 0.0 gave two Arsenal super fans the trip of a lifetime to the Emirates Stadium!

Eoin Sheahan and Kathleen McNamee travelled with competition winners Maire and Mark for Arsenal vs Brentford and Arsenal Women vs Liverpool last December.

From pitch side to the Guinness bar and chats with club legends Dave O'Leary and Louise Quinn, they got the full, exclusive experience of an Arsenal game day.

A huge thanks to Arsenal and Guinness Ireland for making it possible!
