THE ARSENAL OPINION - BY LE GROVE

• 🧠 THERAPY SESSION | DANCING ON GRAVES, CHATTING BAYERN, LOOKING AT ROTATION OPTIONS

  We’ve moved therapy to Tuesday, but who needs therapy when you’ve just walloped Spurs 4-1? Matt Kandela and Jacob Hawley join the show to joy-scroll through the wreckage of Tottenham’s season and ask the big questions: Are we now culturally bigger than Real Madrid? And have we accidentally become the “Heavyweights” of world football? In this episode: ⚪️ Spurs in the Mud: We drink in the “sheer misery” of the Tottenham fan reaction videos and why watching them suffer is better than therapy. 🦊 The Trossard Cult: Why the “Silver Fox” is statistically our most productive attacker and why signing him over Mudryk might define the entire Arteta era. 🔥 Captain in Crisis? The hottest take of the week: With Eze playing with such swagger and goal threat, does Martin Odegaard walk back into this team? 🔁 Disrespecting Bayern: The debate on whether we should rotate heavily (start Myles Lewis-Skelly!) against Bayern Munich to save our legs for Chelsea. 🧱 Broken Benny Blanco: Timber is the best right-back in the league, so are we approaching the end of the road for Ben White? 💰 Greed is Good: Why we are not settling for a draw at Stamford Bridge. We want all three points to fuel the dynasty. _______________________________________________ 🎧 IF YOU WANT THIS CONTENT AD FREE AND ALL THE BONUS THINGS LIKE NICE WRITING, EXTRA CONTENT, AND A VERY GOOD DISCORD, PICK YOUR OPTION BELOW: WRITING + AUDIO + VIDEO: https://www.patreon.com/c/TheArsenalOpinion AUDIO + VIDEO: https://www.le-grove.co.uk/8c0cfff5 Learn more about your ad choices.

• 🧠 THERAPY SESSION | ARSENAL INEVITABLE, GOOD INJURY NEWS, STRATEGIZING BLOCK 5

  On today’s episode, Pete and Jacob limp out of the international break with bruised mouths, bruised lineups, and bruised optimism ahead of a monster North London Derby. We get into: 🧟‍♂️ Injury apocalypse Gabriel’s abductor blow, the real timeline, and how this derails Arsenal’s December monster run. 🧩 Who replaces Big Gabi? Calafiori at CB? Mosquera time? Hincapié wildcard? Or will Arteta go full galaxy brain? 🎨 Odegaard’s colour palette Why Arsenal look black-and-white without him and Technicolor with him. The weird, wrong online takes. 🇩🇪 Bundesliga myth-busting + Jude Bellingham debate Is Germany too soft a league? Why some stars flop in England. Is Jude a “moment player”? 🔥 Saka and Eze cooking for England Lovely… but Arsenal need that heat right now. Especially with the fixture pile-up. 🤕 Kai Havertz concerns The fitness worries, the durability question, and whether the Sesko vs Gyökeres conversation looks different now. 🧱 Are Arsenal inevitable? Three seasons of elite consistency. When patience runs out for top players. Why this season feels like destiny. 👶 Hale End and the teen minutes conundrum Miles, Ethan, Max — development vs pressure vs loan ideals. Arteta’s philosophy laid bare. ⚔️ North London Derby preview Where Spurs are soft. Where Arsenal must be ruthless. And why this will come down to Saka, Eze, or a Hale Ender with main-character energy. A lively, chaotic, derby-week episode filled with anxiety, tactics, agendas, optimism, and fear. Exactly how it should be. 🎧 IF YOU WANT THIS CONTENT AD FREE AND ALL THE BONUS THINGS LIKE NICE WRITING, EXTRA CONTENT, AND A VERY GOOD DISCORD, PICK YOUR OPTION BELOW: WRITING + AUDIO + VIDEO: https://www.patreon.com/c/TheArsenalOpinion AUDIO + VIDEO: https://www.le-grove.co.uk/8c0cfff5 Learn more about your ad choices.

• THE DUGOUT | SPURS BRIEFING FROM JACK PITT-BROOKE (THE ATHLETIC)

  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 right now. The shift from superstar match-winners to tactical systems in the modern Premier League. A spicy segment on Declan Rice’s best role, as Jack delivers his Hottest of Takes. A measured, slightly worried look at Arsenal’s injury-stricken attack heading into the Derby. And finally, Jack’s score prediction, which tries (and fails) to keep Spurs fans optimistic. This one blends tactics, narrative, nostalgia, and Derby-day tension. A perfect warm-up for the weekend. 🎧 IF YOU WANT THIS CONTENT AD FREE AND ALL THE BONUS THINGS LIKE NICE WRITING, EXTRA CONTENT, AND A VERY GOOD DISCORD, PICK YOUR OPTION BELOW: WRITING + AUDIO + VIDEO: https://www.patreon.com/c/TheArsenalOpinion AUDIO + VIDEO: https://www.le-grove.co.uk/8c0cfff5 Learn more about your ad choices.
