EZE AND RODRYGO ON THE ROCKS
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’s messy.
There’s also a detour into football’s murky underbelly — from Vitesse Arnhem’s Abramovich scandal to multi-club ownership, PSR loopholes, and why the Premier League keeps letting the big fish swim. Finally, a surprisingly heated chat on stutter-step penalties, who should take Arsenal’s spot-kicks, and why keepers might need to adapt.
Smart takes, big laughs, a bit of chaos — classic AOP.

GYOKERES HUSHES THE DOUBTERS!
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.

THERAPY SESSION: ANOTHER PRESEASON DOWNER?
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 would try
The Saka false-nine experiment
Why Arsenal can't sell players (again)
Rodrigo and Eze — dream or delusion?
Grab a drink, put your feet up, and enjoy a pod that’s equal parts therapy, preseason panic, and transfer dreaming.
