THE ARSENAL OPINION - BY LE GROVE

It’s Thursday night football in 2026, and Arsenal have played out a stalemate against Liverpool at the Emirates. The result takes us six points clear at the top of the Premier League, but the performance—specifically a "f*****g awful" second half—has left the boys with plenty to vent about.

THIS PODCAST RELEASED THE NIGHT OF THE GAME - IF YOU WANT THEM EARLY, JOIN UP, MEMBERSHIP AT THE BOTTOM

Pete is joined by Matt Kandela and Johnny Cochrane to try and make wine out of a very muddy pool of water. While the table...

First Therapy Session of 2026?

Much needed, I’d say. 😮‍💨🛋️

Jacob and Pedro get into a few trigger conversations that might test your nerves, but stay calm. Talking it through is good for the soul.

On the couch this week:

🧠 Gyökeres losing the home crowd

🔥 Headloss fans. Is it merited?

🤦‍♂️ The Martinelli nonsense

🏆 Managing the Cup experience

🎯 Who takes over as the 9 in the short term

It’s a big one. Get stuck in.

The Dugout is back for 2026! Jim Campbell from the Football Ramble returns to shake off the New Year's haze (and the Villa celebration hangovers) for a jam-packed episode.

We’re looking past the "brain farts" on the South Coast and focusing on the flex. From transfer window headaches to the comedy show at Old Trafford, we’re covering it all.

On the menu this week:

The Havertz Reboot: He’s back, but will the team click or clunk with him back in the side?

Nwaneri’s Dilemma: Do we stick, twist, or cash...

That’s the way we like it… A HUGE win against a very good Bournemouth team.

Arsenal had their poor moments, but the team showed a lot of resilience and got the job done!

We discussed:

🌸 Flower time for Gyökeres?

🪄 Ødegaard’s twinkle toes

🧱 Declan the DESTROYER

⚔️ Bournemouth’s man-to-man strategy

🧐 Hincapié reappraisal

🏆 The title race as it stands

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 a...

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.

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...

All the boys are on for this one… and it was a horrible afternoon.

We got into:

🎩 Odegaard’s performance

💣 Viktor’s disaster cameo

💀 The last-minute killer blow

🚨 Defensive chaos across the pitch

👊 Unai’s revenge tour rolling on

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?

In this episode:

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...

It’s all the boys on the show, ready to take the awesome member questions that you’ve all been percolating on.

We covered a wide range of topics, including upcoming U-turns, the Ethan conundrum, predictions on trophy hauls, and much, much more.

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.

Pete, Matt Kandela, and Jacob Hawley return for a fiery therapy session — unpacking Arsenal’s international break chaos, Viktor Gyökeres’ crisis of confidence, and the looming barometer game away at Fulham.

The crew debates whether the Swede’s slump is just a blip or the start of a bigger rethink — and how long Mikel Arteta will persist before Kai Havertz reclaims the nine.

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...

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.

It's Thursday Therapy time, and the whole gang is in: Pedro, Matt, and Jacob dissect a very odd Arsenal preseason. From standout teen Max Dowman lighting up the Emirates to Viktor Gyokeres’ underwhelming first impression, there’s a lot to chew on.

We talk new signings, slow build-up play, chemistry issues, and that horseshoe of doom in possession. 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 w...

Arsenal smashed Newcastle in pre-season and the boys are BUZZING.

Mikel Merino the midfielder... but now with goal-scoring powers?

Defensive concerns – why do Arsenal concede with so few shots?

Kai Havertz – where does he fit when Gyökeres starts?

Spurs up next in pre-season – will Viktor make his d...

It’s a Friday Therapy Session and the vibes are ✨toxic positive✨. Pedro, Jonny, and Jacob get giddy over Victor Gyökeres taking the iconic 14 shirt and what that means for Arsenal’s striker fortunes. The boys also dig into Eze-mania, the logic behind the Isak non-move, and why this transfer window might be Arteta’s most mature yet.

This one is for the Wenger babies, the tattoo gamblers, and anyone who thinks 13 Premier League goals is “dreaming big.” We cover:

💥 Gyökeres takes the 14 — arrogance or alpha move?

🧠 Isak waits too long — did Arsenal dodge a bullet?<...

Pedro and Jacob dive into a late-night session after the mood hits rock bottom. Is the Gyökeres deal real or just a smokescreen for something grander? Why are Arsenal quibbling over pennies? And are we really about to watch Madueke fund Xavi Simons to Chelsea?

🔥 Topics include:

Isak rumors and why the window feels fishy

Arteta vs. Berta: A philosophical clash?

Eze, Rodrygo… or nothing?

Can Arsenal actually sell anyone?

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?

Chris believes Eze is Arteta’s 2.0 tactical unlock.

Pete lays down the law: Martinelli must go.

Johnny backs the Eze for Ødegaard revolution.

🧤 We dive deep on Kepa’s signing – is it a smart piece of undervalued business or a...

The buzz around Eberechi Eze and what he brings to the 10 role

Rodrygo bench drama at Madrid... and what it could mean for Arsenal

Kepa as backup keeper – a boringly brilliant move?

The boys are back for a sizzling Sunday Session—and things are heating up fast in the striker department 🔥

JC and Matt dive deep into the swirling chaos of Arsenal’s summer transfer hunt. With murmurs that Liverpool are sniffing around Alexander Isak, what does it mean for Arsenal’s own plans? Are Sesko and Gyökeres still the main t...

Strap in—this one’s loaded. Pete, Matt Kandela, and Jacob Hawley return for a Thursday therapy session as Arsenal’s transfer window starts to cook.

🔥 In this episode:

This week, we’re joined by Elliot from the ArsenalVision Podcast for a very spicy discussion on Arsenal’s summer so far. We get into:

💥 Zubimendi’s arrival and why it could be the most important deal of the summer

Johnny and Matt Kandela are back with a Power 30 episode dissecting the 2024/25 Premier League fixtures. Arsenal’s schedule has dropped, and it’s looking absolutely BRUTAL out the gate.

🎙️ In this snappy but spicy pod:

We break down the gauntlet that is Arsenal’s opening six games (spoiler: it's a horror show 😬)

Matt throws some 🔥 on the myth that “fixtures don’t matter”

We talk transfer urgency – will Arsenal get their striker in before it’s too late?

Devil’s advocate chat: is it better to face big boys early while fresh?

It’s a strikerless Friday and the Arsenal Opinion crew are back to make sense of the silence. Pete and Matt dive into the eerie quiet on Arsenal’s main channels, question the sluggishness of summer moves under Andrea Berta, and wonder why contract updates have vanished.

🔥 Hottest of Takes returns with World Club Cup money madness, injury overloads, and a call for NFL-style squad sizes in the Premier League.

💡 We break down:

Ethan Nwaneri’s insane U21 form – could he be Saka 2.0?

Martinelli cooking for Brazil: too soon to give up?

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...

Join Pedro and Jacob Hawley for a Tuesday night therapy session as Arsenal fans grapple with the early days of the transfer window. While other clubs are moving fast, Arsenal supporters are left watching from the sidelines.

What's Causing the Stress:

Manchester United's rapid business (Mbeumo and Cunha signings) despite their supposed financial struggles

Zubimendi's concerning quotes about his "idol" Xabi Alonso and Real Madrid links

The Benjamin Šeško saga dragging on with no clear resolution

Watching other clubs complete deals while Arsenal's targets remain uncertain

Th...

Join us for a special Crossover Thursday edition as we're joined by @FKHanage from Latte Firm to dive deep into the burning question on every Gooner's mind: Is Benjamin Sesko the striker Arsenal desperately needs?

In this early bird discussion, we break down the Slovenian forward's potential move to North London, analyzing his playing style, goal-scoring record, and whether he's the missing piece to Arsenal's title puzzle. Are we genuinely excited about this potential signing, or are there lingering doubts about splashing the cash on another young talent?

What We Cover:

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.
