  • Great podcast

    Hi there. Great podcast and can’t wait to listen to more. Been listening for about 5 years so amazing to win the premier league while listening to you. Pedro has sorted his mic out which is great for my ears at the start of the pod haha.

  • 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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

THE BIG INTERVIEW | TIM PAYTON, THE AST
Q: What has been happening at Arsenal off the pitch regarding sustainability and governance, and how has the board shifted?
Tim describes governance changes, the departure of Tim Lewis, the addition of finance-focused directors, and the ongoing tension between a sustainable model and aggressive spending, noting debt and financing structures as central concerns.
THE BIG INTERVIEW | TIM PAYTON, THE AST
Q: Before we get into the meat of the podcast, Tim, could you explain a little bit about the AST and your day-to-day role?
Tim explains that the Arsenal Supporters' Trust is the biggest supporters' body at Arsenal, focusing on custodianship, influence, and representation for fans, including ticket access and governance issues, with a daily role in advocating for fan interests.
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.
