BOOK REVIEW: MY ARSENAL LIFE
On this very special episode of The Arsenal Opinion Podcast, we welcome My Arsenal Life author Martin Wengrow — a lifelong Gooner with over seven decades of matchday stories, transfer heartbreaks, and pure red-and-white devotion under his belt.
We dive into:
What inspired the book and the role of co-author David Fensome
Martin’s early Arsenal memories and the traumatic punishment that nearly broke his fandom 😢
Inside stories of missed signings — including Dennis Law and Danny Blanchflower
The parallels between George Graham and Mikel Arteta
His glowing take on Miles Skelly and why he’s unlike any youth prospect we’ve ever had
The emotional highs, the bitter lows, and everything in between
This episode is a love letter to Arsenal Football Club through the eyes of someone who lived it, challenged it, and never stopped loving it — even when it didn’t love him back.

💥 THE SUMMER OF STRIKERS: WHO’S IN, WHO’S OUT?
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.

💡 We break down:
Ethan Nwaneri’s insane U21 form – could he be Saka 2.0?
Martinelli cooking for Brazil: too soon to give up?
Double striker talk: Is Watkins + Sesko the dream duo?
Selling smart: Zinchenko & Kiwior to Milan?
Spurs chat: Big Ange OUT, Thomas Frank IN – do we care?
Nuno Tavares to Saudi for £40m(?!): where’s our cut?
A packed episode full of spice, strategy, and speculation. If you like your Arsenal chat unfiltered and intelligent, this one’s for you.

KEPA SIGNS, SESKO HEATS UP, PARTEY'S EXIT LOOMS?
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 change of heart? Is the scouting department about to take a W? The duo unpacks all the data, all the vibes, and all the potential.
Finally, the big midfield conundrum: Thomas Partey is flirting with Barcelona, and the boys discuss the implications of his departure—could Douglas Luiz be the answer?
It's a big pod with big chat, tactical insights, and even bigger energy. Get stuck in. 🎧
