  • Decent pod but…

    Unnecessarily raining on Wenger, saying he stayed 8 years too long. Give it a rest, you don’t know how lucky we were to have him.

  • Great dose of Arsenal positivity

    Johnny can be a bit OTT (though great on predictions) but Pedro and Matt are top quality podcasters. Funny, knowledgeable and always entertaining. Addictive for Gooners

  • Relentless spice

    Started listening in lockdown and have listened in lock step ever since. Loving this season’s Pedro and Johnny “will they won’t they” subplot. Mr Kandela brings laconic incision and a stunning array of knitwear. Jacob is often well lubricated and suspiciously well informed. Question: how do paid subscribers through Apple Podcasts get to access the Discord? Top work lads! #FreeJohnny

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

THE DUGOUT | JAMES BENGE SPECIAL | ODEGAARD SCAPEGOATED?
Q: What's your take on Odegaard's role and how fans have reacted to him this season?
Odegaard has often been scapegoated even though he has been a captain showing commitment in big moments; around the club there is belief that his contributions, leadership, and pressing influence have been underappreciated, especially when injuries limit his availability.
ARSENAL CANNOT WIN! 😡 | THE DUGOUT FEAT JAMES ALCOTT
Q: Who do you think should win Player of the Year if Arsenal finally lift the league, and why?
Declan Rice is a strong candidate and likely to win Player of the Year if Arsenal win the league, given his impact and leadership in midfield.
ARSENAL CANNOT WIN! 😡 | THE DUGOUT FEAT JAMES ALCOTT
Q: So James, what's your hot take about Arsenal right now?
My hot take is that Arsenal are winning but cannot win; there's a sense that their success is fragile because of the narratives around style and legitimacy, even when results are strong.
THE DUGOUT | MIGUEL DELANEY | BORING ARSENAL?
Q: What is Miguel's hottest take on Arsenal right now?
Miguel offers several hot takes, including the idea that Arsenal's build-up and adaptability could hinge on how they manage key players like Havertz and Saka, and that the calendar and international breaks are shaping tactical decisions more than any single game plan.
☎️ THE AOP PHONE-IN | U-TURNS, LEGEND DREAMS, TROPHY HAUL PREDICTIONS
Q: Do you think Arsenal could win multiple trophies this season?
Yes, I believe they can win both the Premier League and the Champions League this year.
