THE ARSENAL OPINION - BY LE GROVE

• 🎙️ THE DUGOUT | ALEX MONEYPENNY FROM THE DIFFERENT KNOCK

  In this week’s Dugout, Jacob Hawley sits down with YouTuber, actor, and writer Alex Moneypenny for a wide-ranging chat that moves from the Emirates media box to the London theatre stage. 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. They debate open-play goals, Odegaard’s influence, Arteta’s tactical tweaks, and the fine margins separating “functioning at 60 percent” from a title-winning 100 percent. Beyond tactics, Alex opens up about pivoting from acting to writing, staging his own musical (“about a woman who thinks the Earth is flat”), and what it’s like to build creative work from scratch — on stage and on YouTube. Smart football talk, creative energy, and a few laughs about coping with Arsenal trauma in the stands — it’s a grounded, honest Dugout you’ll want to play through twice.

• THERAPY SESSION | REVISING MERINO SLANDER

  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. There’s deep chat on Bukayo Saka’s fitness whispers, Mikel Merino’s wild evolution from “bit of a clogger” to Spain’s Cristiano Ronaldo, and how Arsenal’s new load-management philosophy could define the season. Expect tangents, accountability, and the full Arsenal Opinion flavor — with upmarket Fellaini takes, Fulham anxiety, and more truth bombs than Gyökeres shots on target If you want these podcasts when they happen, sign up to be a member below!
