WRITING OFF ETHAN NWANERI? BEHAVE YOURSELF!
Johnny and Jacob are back with a new midweek format. World Cup is on. Arsenal's window is heating up. This is part one. Here's what's inside: 🔥 Hottest of Takes — Jacob wants Saka sent home from the World Cup. Right now. Johnny's take is a long overdue verdict on one of Arsenal's biggest calls of last season — and whether they got it badly wrong 👶 Ethan Nwaneri — Don't Write Him Off — Johnny makes the case that the kid everyone's moved on from could be about to have the season nobody saw coming 💸 Was The Summer Spend Worth It? — Gyökeres, Eze, Madüeke — none of them started the Champions League final. Jacob asks the hard question. Johnny has the answer 👕 The New Kits — the leaked black 1992 remake has both lads reaching for their wallets.

BOUADDI THE BADDIE FOR £70M | AD FREE
Pete and Matt are back for the Monday debrief. The World Cup is underway, the transfer window is fizzing, and there are two enormous stories to get through before England vs Croatia on Wednesday. Here's what's inside: 🔥 Hottest of Takes — Matt goes all in on England winning the World Cup after watching the Brazil game and makes a genuinely compelling case. Pete is suspicious. The Tuchel appreciation society is open for business 🏀 Knicks vs Arsenal — A Tale of Two Celebrations — Matt was in New York for the Knicks parade. Pete was in London for the Arsenal one. They compare notes and agree they're not really comparable — and both are okay with that 💸 Julian Alvarez — The Spanish Media Are Saying It's Only Arsenal — Real Madrid made a bid. Atletico laughed them off. Barcelona haven't got the money. Pete and Matt rate the likelihood of Alvarez ending up at Arsenal this summer and land somewhere that will get pulses racing 🎯 Barcola vs Alvarez — Berta's Game — Matt makes the case that Berta has bids out for multiple targets and will wait to see which envelope opens. The theory: if Barcola happens, Alvarez doesn't. If Barcola doesn't, get ready 😬 Cucurella to Real Madrid — Chelsea Unravelling? — Cucurella does an Athletic interview, gets what he wanted, and heads to Mourinho's Madrid. Pete and Matt on whether Alonso can actually build something at Stamford Bridge without experienced heads in the dressing room Subscribe at patreon.com/theArsenalOpinion for ad-free episodes and support the show.

ARSENAL PREDICTIONS REVISIT | WAS IT A HORROR SHOW?
Johnny has been trying to schedule this for two weeks. He's been buzzing. That tells you everything you need to know about how his predictions went. Pete, Jacob and Matt sit down to wave the receipts and apportion praise and blame accordingly. Here's what's inside: 🔥 The Receipts Are In — category by category, prediction by prediction, the lads go back to what they said in August and face the music. Some brave calls. Some stinkers. One man playing it so safe Jacob compares him to Zubimendi when he's tired 🏆 The Winner — joint top. Johnny is not happy about the joint bit. Matt is very smug. A tiebreaker format is being discussed for next year involving a quiz question or a fight to the death 💸 Fabio Vieira — The Rhian Brewster of 2026 — news drops mid-pod that stops everyone in their tracks. Pete has been calling him a dark horse for two years. The fee, if real, is a Berta masterclass. The lads lose their minds 🌟 Barcola vs Vinicius Jr — The Big Debate — the pod ends up somewhere unexpected and absolutely brilliant. Champagne vs Prosecco. Data gets pulled up live. The Anelka and Overmars comparisons come out. Jacob makes a pressing argument for one. Pete makes the case for the other 📊 The Hivemind Verdict — three out of five for the listener predictions.

SELL AN ARSENAL FAN FAVORITE DEFENDER?
Johnny and Jacob launch a new summer format — the Midweek Roundup! Here's what's inside: 🔥 Hottest of Takes — Jacob drops something that will genuinely upset people: a feeling about Calafiori and a name that could make it happen. Pete's take is seismic — a complete attacking overhaul is coming this summer, and he thinks nobody's position is truly safe. Including Saka's 🌍 World Cup Chaos — Ian Wright puts out a video and the lads wade in. Strip searches on the tarmac. A referee refused entry. Iran's travel complications. Pete and Jacob on what it says about hosting a tournament in Trump's America 🍕 Calafiori — Keep Or Sell? — Jacob raises the concern. Pete pushes back with passion, invoking the parade, the sing-songs with Declan Rice, and the question of why you'd sell a player who just fell in love with your club 🏹 Morgan Gibbs-White — The Dark Horse — the lads go through the numbers from last season, the Berta web-of-contacts theory, and why turning down Spurs tells you everything you need to know about a player's character 🎙️ Coming Up — Kruppi and Vinicius Jr — Pete teases what's coming in part two. The deep dive transfer pod. Both names are in the frame. Go find it Subscribe at patreon.com/theArsenalOpinion for ad-free episodes and support the show.

BIG MORGAN GIBBS-WHITE ARSENAL LINKS
Pete and Matt are back for the first Monday debrief of the summer. World Cup is days away, the transfer window is heating up, and neither of them can quite stop thinking about Arsenal long enough to care about England vs Croatia. Here's what's inside: 🔥 Hottest of Takes — Matt's World Cup dark horse will raise eyebrows and he's got the data to back it up. Pete goes with a Scandinavian option featuring two of Arsenal's own and reasons why the heat might be their only enemy 💸 Fabio Vieira — The Cautionary Tale — rumours of a move for very modest money. Pete and Matt on what happens to a player's value when a big club doesn't work out, and why Berta will be pushing hard for more than he's likely to get 🎯 Barcola vs Morgan Rogers — The Debate Continues — Pete drops a touch statistic on Rogers that will make you wince. Matt flip-flops live on air and ends up landing somewhere Pete didn't expect. The Gareth Bale comparison gets floated ⚽ Morgan Gibbs-White — The Dark Horse Signing — Pete makes the case with numbers and it's harder to dismiss than you'd think. Proven in the Premier League, high floor, goal threat, doesn't get injured. Matt is almost convinced before Barcola pulls him back 🌍 World Cup Incoming — England vs Croatia is ten days away. Neither of them knows this until they Google it live. Neither of them particularly cares. They'll be mainlining transfers regardless Subscribe at patreon.com/theArsenalOpinion for ad-free episodes and support the show.

BRADLEY BARCOLA | TOO SMALL OR TOO PERFECT FOR ARSENAL?
Pete and Jacob. No more games. The season is over. And they couldn't be more excited about what comes next. Here's what's inside: 🔥 Hottest of Takes — Jacob drops a cold shower on the most talked-about transfer target of the summer and makes the case for someone else entirely. Pete pumps the brakes on the whole conversation and reminds everyone what this team just actually did 🌊 Bradley Barcola — Weapon of Mass Destruction — PSG are moving him on. Pete makes the full-throated case for why he's the missing piece on that left-hand side. Jacob is very much on board 🤔 Do We Actually Have A Left Side Problem? — Martinelli was brilliant in Europe. Trossard is beloved. So why is everyone in such a rush to sell them? Pete and Jacob dig into whether the problem is as bad as the discourse suggests 🏭 The Academy Pipeline — six players aged 16-17 banging on the door. Jacob makes the case that signing certain types of players is now a waste of money when you've got what's coming through. He uses Madüeke as the example and does not hold back 😂 Don't Let The Clowns Get You Down — Jacob is now officially part of the TalkSport network and has some thoughts on how to protect your Arsenal joy. His description of the TalkSport presenting style is one of the lines of the summer 🌍 The World Cup — Jacob is faking his enthusiasm. Pete can tell.

ARSENAL PLAYER RATINGS | SEASON FINALE
The one Johnny’s been building towards all year. Every number, every game, every player — compiled into one spectacular mosaic. This is the hallmark of the AOP calendar. We are giving you a little taster of what you get by being a member of the AOP. Here’s what’s inside: 🏆 Player of the Year — Timber wins it for the second year running. Johnny makes the case that the most consistent player at Arsenal this season doesn’t court attention, doesn’t grab headlines, just quietly dominates every single week. The numbers back him up completely 🥈 Joint Second — Gabriel and Declan Rice share the spot. The King of Brazil as a Tony Adams-level beast. Big Deck Energy as the heir apparent to Vieira. Both had monster seasons. Johnny breaks down exactly why 🧤 Raya — So Close — a phenomenal year, but the nature of a defence so good means a goalkeeper has a soft ceiling on how high his ratings can go. Johnny explains the logic and it’s hard to argue with 📊 The Spreadsheet — Johnny has been building this all season. The defence is green. The attack is red and orange. The story of how Arsenal won the league is hiding in plain sight in the colour coding 😬 Martinelli — A Cautionary Tale — a real falling off in the second half of the season that the numbers make undeniable. And a midfielder’s late-season surge that saved the title 🌟 Max Dowman — Special Mention — not enough games to qualify for the main list, but Johnny is not letting this season go by without putting on record exactly what that kid did Subscribe at patreon.com/theArsenalOpinion for ad-free episodes and support the show.

TRANSFER MARKET IS BROKEN! | DUGOUT SPECIAL WITH TIM STILLMAN
Jacob is joined by Tim Stillman — of Arsenal Vision and Arseblog fame, and the most thorough writer covering the Arsenal women's team — for a Dugout that goes deep on the season just gone and the summer ahead. Here's what's inside: 🔥 Hottest of Takes — Tim opens with a claim that will provoke debate: Myles Lewis-Skelly starts in central midfield next season. Permanently. And Zubimendi quietly finds himself in a Jorginho role. Jacob asks whether we might be watching a repeat of Ben White at right back — accidental permanence 💸 The Transfer Market Is Broken — Jacob's hot take: there are no players worth a hundred million pounds, which means every player costs a hundred million pounds. Tim has a lot of sympathy for what Berta is trying to do this summer and explains why in a way that makes you feel slightly better about everything ⚽ Gyökeres — The Honest Assessment — Tim fell on Pete's side. And then Gyökeres just quietly got on with it. No side changing the outcome of the argument, but undeniably no title without him. Where does he fit next year? 🌟 Max Dowman — The Fabregas Comparison — Tim goes there. Carefully. Jacob talks about a World Cup preseason and what happened to a certain Spanish teenager in the summer of 2004 🔴 What Does Arsenal Actually Need This Summer? — the left wing spot, the striker question, and why Tim thinks Arteta might have to sacrifice one of his principles to find the attacker that changes everything 🌱 Calafiori — Keep Him — Tim's horse-without-a-jockey analogy will become the definitive description of watching Calafiori run at full pelt down the right wing having started at left back. The lads agree: don't sell this man Subscribe at patreon.com/theArsenalOpinion for ad-free episodes and support the show.
