• ARSENAL: BEST IN EUROPE?

  Jacob Hawley is back in the Dugout with Telegraph football reporter Sam Dean to break down one of the biggest weeks in the Arteta era. Fresh off dismantling Spurs and putting Bayern Munich in a chokehold at the Emirates, the lads get stuck into the big question: is this the best-coached team in Europe? We talk through: 🔥 Bayern Demolition: Why Arsenal’s set-piece storm, tactical adaptability, and elite squad depth left Bayern scrambling. 🎯 Eze and Martinelli Link-Up: Two massive games, two massive moments… the new double act delivering on the biggest stages. 🏋️ Declan Rice Masterclass: Is Rice the most influential player in Europe right now? 🔁 The Number Nine Debate: Sam Dean drops a scorching take on Jesus, Mourinho, and whether Arsenal really need a new striker. 👶 The Kids Are Fine: Miles Lewis-Skelly and Mosquera at Champions League level. The future is silly. 📈 The Arteta Evolution: A squad that can beat you any way it wants, with elite depth and total tactical control. Plus all the usual chaos, jokes, therapy, and the best Arsenal chat you will hear this week. ____________________________ 🎧 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.

• 🧠 THERAPY SESSION | DANCING ON GRAVES, CHATTING BAYERN, LOOKING AT ROTATION OPTIONS

  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.
