    ZUBIMENDI TO ARSENAL, IT'S HAPPENING! (MEMBERS)

    We’re back with a bang! Pedro and Matt debrief a busy Arsenal news cycle as the transfer dominos start falling. 💣 Ornstein and Romano confirm the big one: Zubimendi is DONE. We break down what makes him the Rolls Royce of single pivot 6s, what he unlocks for Arteta’s midfield, and why this is a £65m coup for the ages. 💥 Sesko is the striker of choice and it’s a one-horse race. Is this the chaos merchant we’ve been missing since peak Alexis? We talk goal expectations, striker pairings, and why it’s time to go big in the market. 🔥 Garnacho to Arsenal? We react to the wild ITK whispers and explain why he’s not the upgrade some think he is. 📉 Premier League viewership is down 10%. Is the product getting stale? We go deep on VAR fatigue, Sky Sports' stranglehold, and the death-by-a-thousand-cuts effect draining the magic from match day. 🚨 Plus: A rant on Arsenal’s off-the-pitch complacency, praise for the women’s team attendance dominance, and a few spicy takes you won’t want to miss. Tap in, tune up, and turn your volume to 11—this one’s a scorcher 🔴⚪

    KEPA SIGNS, SESKO HEATS UP, PARTEY'S EXIT LOOMS?

    It’s a DEBRIEF SUNDAY (ad-free) and the vibes are immaculate, bar some plant-shaming issues. Once the horticultural trauma subsides, Pete and Johnny dive into a juicy slate of Arsenal summer narratives. First up: David Ornstein drops a bomb—Kepa is set to become Arsenal’s backup keeper. The boys dig into what that means for Raya, how it affects the young keepers at the club, and whether the Chelsea-rehab project is a low-risk stroke of genius or a recipe for chaos. Then it's Sesko time. Is the Slovenian striker the new Lewandowski? Has Johnny had a change of heart? Is the scouting department about to take a W? The duo unpacks all the data, all the vibes, and all the potential. Finally, the big midfield conundrum: Thomas Partey is flirting with Barcelona, and the boys discuss the implications of his departure—could Douglas Luiz be the answer? It's a big pod with big chat, tactical insights, and even bigger energy. Get stuck in. 🎧 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Southampton as Arsenal's bogey team? The receipts are damning. 🏆 Rare Prediction WinsA few shocking moments where someone actually got it right - including one absolutely inspired dark horse call that nobody saw coming. 📰 Breaking Transfer NewsGabriel's new deal, Ange getting the boot at Spurs (why Arsenal fans should be worried), and those juicy Šeško rumors. 🎯 The Scoring DramaReal-time point tallying with heated disputes, questionable half-points, and one host getting dangerously smug about their prediction prowess. "This is ritual humiliation... like getting hosed down after PE lessons in front of a watching audience." - Pete, mid-meltdown The kind of episode that reminds you why prediction pods are both the best and worst content in football. Essential listening for anyone who's ever been embarrassingly wrong about anything. Warning: Contains scenes of grown men being held accountable for their opinions.
