Host Jacob Hawley is joined by actor and comedian Ed Kear for a debut appearance on the pod. The pair dissect a frustrating but vital win against Wolves, the strange feeling of being five points clear without fully clicking, and why this season feels different to previous title charges. In this episode: The Screen Smasher: Ed talks about the relief (and rage) of the Wolves win and why dropped points against Villa and Sunderland still haunt the fanbase. The Gyökeres Debate: Is it the player or the system? Ed argues that Arsenal aren’t exploiting Gyökeres’ attributes, while Jacob suggests the striker is suffering from “Main Man-itis” and a lack of confidence. Captaincy Call: A bold claim that the armband might be better suited to Declan Rice or Gabriel Magalhães to drive the team through the nervy moments. Odegaard’s Evolution: The boys discuss whether the captain is being too safe, if he should be moved back to an #8 role, or if he’s just suffering from a lack of “fantasy” in the final third. Everton Away: Why the upcoming trip to Goodison Park feels like a season definer, and the “vibes” based argument for starting Gabriel Jesus.

It wasn't pretty, but it was effective. The boys gather to break down a "nail-biter" against Wolves that saw Arsenal escape with a win and move five points clear at the top of the table. Despite a "destruction 11" lineup that failed to destroy, the panel discusses why winning ugly—even with two own goals—is the hallmark of champions. In this episode: The Ugly Win: Johnny labels the performance "full blown shit," but admits that finding a way to win when nothing is going right is a massive signal of intent for the title race. Jesus vs. Gyökeres: Pete declares Gabriel Jesus the "antidote" who brought Brazilian flair and energy to a stagnant attack, while the panel worries that "Big Vik" is running out of time and confidence. Super Subs: A look at how Arteta’s substitutions saved the day, with Trossard and Odegaard providing the quality and "game changer" energy needed to break the deadlock. Saka’s Ceiling: Matt asks if Saka is reaching "Hall of Fame" status, while Johnny compares him to Eden Hazard—a player who steps up to decide the biggest moments when the chips are down. The Eze Debate: Jacob defends Eze against claims of being anonymous, arguing the new signing needs time to adjust to Arteta's complex system, much like Declan Rice did.

Fresh from a cold open training session at London Colney, Simon Collings (The Standard) joins host Jacob Hawley for a new episode of The Dugout. The pair dissect the “gut punch” defeat at Villa Park, analyzing how the match descended into an “Unai Emery basketball game” and asking the big question: Can this team survive the winter without the aura of Gabriel and William Saliba? On the agenda: Defensive Frailties: Analyzing the makeshift backline and Hincapié’s adjustment to the Premier League. The Eze Debate: Is he struggling to adapt to the system, or does he just need time like Declan Rice did? Odegaard’s Role: Why Arsenal need the 15-goal version of their captain back. Squad Rotation: Looking ahead to Club Brugge—will Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly finally get minutes? The Striker Situation: Gyökeres’ fitness, the Jesus wildcard, and the Noni Madueke conundrum. Simon’s Hot Take: Why he is doubling down on his prediction that Arsenal will win the league by 10 points.

We’ve moved therapy to Tuesday, but who needs therapy when you’ve just walloped Spurs 4-1? Matt Kandela and Jacob Hawley join the show to joy-scroll through the wreckage of Tottenham’s season and ask the big questions: Are we now culturally bigger than Real Madrid? And have we accidentally become the “Heavyweights” of world football? In this episode: ⚪️ Spurs in the Mud: We drink in the “sheer misery” of the Tottenham fan reaction videos and why watching them suffer is better than therapy. 🦊 The Trossard Cult: Why the “Silver Fox” is statistically our most productive attacker and why signing him over Mudryk might define the entire Arteta era. 🔥 Captain in Crisis? The hottest take of the week: With Eze playing with such swagger and goal threat, does Martin Odegaard walk back into this team? 🔁 Disrespecting Bayern: The debate on whether we should rotate heavily (start Myles Lewis-Skelly!) against Bayern Munich to save our legs for Chelsea. 🧱 Broken Benny Blanco: Timber is the best right-back in the league, so are we approaching the end of the road for Ben White? 💰 Greed is Good: Why we are not settling for a draw at Stamford Bridge. We want all three points to fuel the dynasty. _______________________________________________ 🎧 IF YOU WANT THIS CONTENT AD FREE AND ALL THE BONUS THINGS LIKE NICE WRITING, EXTRA CONTENT, AND A VERY GOOD DISCORD, PICK YOUR OPTION BELOW: WRITING + AUDIO + VIDEO: https://www.patreon.com/c/TheArsenalOpinion AUDIO + VIDEO: https://www.le-grove.co.uk/8c0cfff5 Learn more about your ad choices.

In this Dugout edition of The Arsenal Opinion Podcast, Jacob Hawley takes the hosting seat and welcomes Jack Pitt-Brooke of The Athletic for a deep dive into the North London Derby build-up. Across a lively and insightful conversation, they explore: Tottenham through the eyes of someone who covers them, not supports them, striking the perfect balance for Arsenal listeners. How international breaks shape narratives, coaching trends, and fan expectations, including the role of throw-ins, set pieces, and Premier League punditry. Why international football may actually feel more expressive than club football right now. The shift from superstar match-winners to tactical systems in the modern Premier League. A spicy segment on Declan Rice’s best role, as Jack delivers his Hottest of Takes. A measured, slightly worried look at Arsenal’s injury-stricken attack heading into the Derby. And finally, Jack’s score prediction, which tries (and fails) to keep Spurs fans optimistic. This one blends tactics, narrative, nostalgia, and Derby-day tension. A perfect warm-up for the weekend. 🎧 IF YOU WANT THIS CONTENT AD FREE AND ALL THE BONUS THINGS LIKE NICE WRITING, EXTRA CONTENT, AND A VERY GOOD DISCORD, PICK YOUR OPTION BELOW: WRITING + AUDIO + VIDEO: https://www.patreon.com/c/TheArsenalOpinion AUDIO + VIDEO: https://www.le-grove.co.uk/8c0cfff5 Learn more about your ad choices.

This week’s Arsenal Opinion is therapy in name only — because everyone’s feeling suspiciously good. Pedro, Matt, and Jacob try to process the weird calm that comes with a 10-game winning streak, a record defensive run, and a fanbase already booking trophy parades. They dive into: 🔥 Hottest of Takes — Saka’s missing his mates, the clean-sheet obsession is getting dangerous, and one host admits to moving a stag do for the trophy lift. 🧱 Dual Monsters & Defensive Evolution — Why Arsenal are now the trendsetters in modern football, how Hincapié fits Arteta’s lab-built vision, and what it means for the rest of the squad. 🧠 Ethan’s Growing Pains — The panel debates whether Nwaneri’s central evolution is genius planning or just a little premature. 👶 The Hale End Boom — Max Dowman, Andre H, Marley Salmon… Arsenal’s teen wave is real, and Arteta’s “Bilbao model” might just be working. 💰 Selling Smart vs. Selling Souls — Do Arsenal need to rebrand their shopfront? And would you sell Ethan for £70m if it meant landing a new winger? A light-hearted but sharp chat full of nostalgia, overanalysis, and joy-fuelled dread — the kind only Arsenal fans can deliver. 🎧 IF YOU WANT THIS CONTENT AD FREE AND ALL THE BONUS THINGS LIKE NICE WRITING, EXTRA CONTENT, AND A VERY GOOD DISCORD, PICK YOUR OPTION BELOW: WRITING + AUDIO + VIDEO: https://www.patreon.com/c/TheArsenalOpinion AUDIO + VIDEO: https://www.le-grove.co.uk/8c0cfff5 Learn more about your ad choices.

In this week’s Dugout, Jacob Hawley sits down with YouTuber, actor, and writer Alex Moneypenny for a wide-ranging chat that moves from the Emirates media box to the London theatre stage. The two talk Arsenal from every angle — the view from behind the goal at the Man City game, why Victor Gyökeres divides the fanbase, and how Mikel Marino might have shifted the title race if you ran the season in an AI sim. They debate open-play goals, Odegaard’s influence, Arteta’s tactical tweaks, and the fine margins separating “functioning at 60 percent” from a title-winning 100 percent. Beyond tactics, Alex opens up about pivoting from acting to writing, staging his own musical (“about a woman who thinks the Earth is flat”), and what it’s like to build creative work from scratch — on stage and on YouTube. Smart football talk, creative energy, and a few laughs about coping with Arsenal trauma in the stands — it’s a grounded, honest Dugout you’ll want to play through twice.

This week, Pedro is joined by Jacob Hawley and Johnny Cochrane for an early-bird therapy session packed with hot takes, transfer angst, and a sprinkle of schadenfreude. The lads gear up for Thursday’s iconic predictions episode — last year’s winner Johnny arrives smug and ready, Jacob’s sharpening his knives, and Pete’s quietly plotting an upset. They dive deep into Arsenal’s transfer business, debating whether Eze or Rodrygo should be the final piece, how Berta’s sales game will define the summer, and if a shock Martinelli exit could unlock big moves. Spurs sniffing around Eze? It’s messy. There’s also a detour into football’s murky underbelly — from Vitesse Arnhem’s Abramovich scandal to multi-club ownership, PSR loopholes, and why the Premier League keeps letting the big fish swim. Finally, a surprisingly heated chat on stutter-step penalties, who should take Arsenal’s spot-kicks, and why keepers might need to adapt. Smart takes, big laughs, a bit of chaos — classic AOP.

Arsenal’s final pre-season game brought the spark we’d been waiting for — Big Vik GYOKERES silenced the doubters with a bruising, goal-filled display, Zubimendi oozed Cesc Fabregas energy in midfield, and Kai Havertz turned up looking like he’d spent the summer living in the gym. Pete and Johnny break down the key performances, the new-look attack, and why this win could be season-defining. We also dive into Maduweke’s surprise left-wing role, what it means for Martinelli, and how Arteta might rotate a now fully loaded squad heading into a brutal start to the Premier League season.

From standout teen Max Dowman lighting up the Emirates to Viktor Gyokeres’ underwhelming first impression, there’s a lot to chew on.

Jacob brings some in-stadium Guinness scouting, some ITK heat on Nonny Madueke, and Pedro bangs the table demanding a “NOW” team. We also cover: Defensive issues and preseason sloppiness Tactical tweaks we wish Arteta would try The Saka false-nine experiment Why Arsenal can't sell players (again) Rodrigo and Eze — dream or delusion?

Pedro and Johnny are back in the AOP studio for a spicy Friday edition that dives straight into the most debated transfer of the summer: Noni Madueke. Is this a shrewd move from Andrea Berta or a head-scratching overpay to help Chelsea out of a PSR jam? We get stuck into: The internet-melting £48.5m fee The mystery of Arsenal’s sudden generosity Why Madueke might be more than just a backup to Bukayo Saka Shifting recruitment philosophies under Berta Comparisons to Sterling, Adebayor, and Jovinho (yes, that one) Johnny’s theory that Madueke is gunning for Martinelli’s spot And Pedro’s refusal to believe anything until the fax arrives 📠 If you’re looking for balance, spice, and a healthy dose of paranoia about agent fees and hairlines, this is the pod for you. 🧨 Join the debate. Get your takes in. And remember: until we see the spreadsheet… it didn’t happen. We also plug the Drake Ramberg (Nike Arsenal kit designer) interview – an iconic kit designer behind Arsenal’s 90s lightning bolt look and a must-listen for the shirt nerds (drops tomorrow). 🔗 Listen now and support us at: Patreon.com/TheArsenalOpinion 📝 For your Arsenal newsletter: https://www.le-grove.co.uk/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Arsenal are licking wounds after a 1-0 home loss to PSG, and Pedro’s back with Jacob Hawley to sift through the Champions League aftermath. They dive deep into the Odegaard discourse: is the criticism fair or is the captain just carrying more than we know? There's talk of midfield rotations, the brutal learning curve of Champions League knockout football, and whether the atmosphere hype is helping or hurting. They reflect on the TIFO drama, revisit the madness of Inter vs. Barcelona, and preview how Arsenal can turn the tide in Paris with Partey, tactical tweaks, and a little less desperation. Plus: striker shopping gets serious. Is it time for the Gyokeres hammer? Or is Sesko the smart long-term bet? We hope you ENJOY this. Thank you.

Myles Lewis-Skelly takes over Europe, Saka sets sights on Madrid, and Arsenal hit 143k subs! 🎙️ Featuring: @iJohnnyCochrane & @LeGrove The international break is usually the graveyard shift for football chat… but not this week. We’ve got unexpected debuts, tactical fireworks, and a new England darling to fawn over. Pete and Johnny crack into a surprisingly juicy pod with a mix of hot takes, serious chat, and a massive shout to the AOP community. 🎖️ We kick things off celebrating a massive milestone — our silver YouTube trophy finally arrived (after three weeks marinating in the back of Pete’s car). We’ve officially passed 100k subscribers — actually 143k, if we’re bragging — and Johnny demands we make a big fuss. So we did. 🔥 Then it’s onto the Hottest of Takes : Johnny puts all his faith in one man to take us to glory against Real Madrid: Bukayo Saka . Pete counters with some emotional vindication after Myles Lewis-Skelly makes his England debut, bags a goal, and leaves rival fanbases in a puddle of tears. He’s not just good. He’s the guy . 🧠 We go deep on the tactical side too. Tuchel vs. Southgate. MLS as an inverted left-back / double six hybrid. Is Arteta cooking something special or getting a little too cautious? Are we really practicing transition football mid-season for a Madrid showdown? 👀 Then we dive into the cultural conversation. Johnny lays out why MLS's rise matters beyond football. Confidence. Swagger. Representation. The tired old tropes from media dinosaurs need to be put in the bin. We're not letting our next superstar be defined by clickbait narratives. 👶 We touch on Ethan Nwaneri ’s usage — or lack thereof — and whether Arteta should lean into the youth revolution more. Plus a warning: let’s not Wilshere these kids. Manage the minutes. Build them slowly. 😩 There’s also some bad news: Calafiori picks up another knock with Italy. Pete rants about the signing, the injuries, and whether £40m on another centre-back was ever a good idea when he’s not even playing in his best position. ⚖️ And finally, we tie it all together with a few spicy debates: Can defence really win you titles in 2025? Have we learned how to manage egos and character in the modern game? And why is it that Arsenal fans always seem to be the first to get lectured when our boys show a little sauce? 📍All this and loads more in a surprisingly banging international break edition.

Michael Rainey is BACK for another awesome episode of The Art of Culture (72 hours Early Bird for Members).

Talent Churn (How to Approach the Inevitable) Warning Signs : The podcast discusses subtle cues that indicate a player or employee may be preparing to leave, such as shifts in focus, body language, and communication breakdowns. Dangers of Persuasion : Michael Rainey highlights the risks of convincing someone to stay when their heart isn't in it, including long-term underperformance and a negative impact on team morale. Managing Dips in Focus : Suggestions for maintaining standards during transitional periods, including setting clear expectations and fostering open communication to prevent disengagement. 2.

Preventing Homogenous Thinking : Ideas for fostering true diversity, ensuring that differences in opinions or backgrounds strengthen rather than fragment a team. Diversity of Opinion vs. Diversity of Backgrounds : The podcast emphasizes the value of balancing philosophical diversity with inclusivity across cultural and religious lines. 5.
