Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros react to Lionel Messi's historic hat trick in Argentina's 3-0 victory and discuss what it means for his final World Cup. With Messi now tied for the most World Cup goals ever, the guys debate who had the best opening performance of the tournament: Messi, Kylian Mbappé or Erling Haaland. They also discuss Christian Pulisic's calf injury and whether Mauricio Pochettino should protect his captain against Australia or trust him to lead the United States once again. Next, The Cooligans welcome Ben Fawkes for another World Cup betting segment. The crew breaks down the over/under for USA-Australia, debates whether Folarin Balogun is the safest goal scorer bet, and examines England's attacking options against Croatia. They also look at Mexico vs South Korea and ask whether tempers could boil over after the chaos of Mexico's opening match, while discussing Ismail Saibari's chances of scoring again for Morocco against Scotland. To wrap up the show, Christian and Alexis preview another packed day at the World Cup. Can Mexico take control of Group A against South Korea? Will Colombia avoid an upset against Uzbekistan? Can Ghana get a result against Panama? And with England set to face Croatia in one of the marquee games of the group stage, the guys discuss what the Three Lions need to do to prove that football really might be coming home.

Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros react to one of the biggest shocks of the World Cup so far as Cape Verde earn a stunning draw against Spain. Are Spain already in trouble, or is this just an early bump in the road? The guys also discuss whether Cape Verde can ride the momentum all the way to the knockout rounds before turning their attention to Lionel Messi. With what is likely his final World Cup underway, can Messi put the GOAT debate to rest forever by winning a second World Cup, or do Pelé and Maradona still have a claim to soccer immortality? Next, The Cooligans break down Tunisia's decision to appoint World Cup specialist Hervé Renard as head coach for the remainder of the tournament. Can Renard work his magic once again and guide Tunisia to an unlikely place in the knockout stages? Christian and Alexis also debate Cristiano Ronaldo's role with Portugal and ask whether the legendary forward is still one of the team's biggest weapons—or whether his presence has become more of a problem than a solution. To wrap up the show, the guys are joined by England presenter Michael Timbs to preview the Three Lions' World Cup campaign. Which players will be key to England's success? Can this generation finally deliver on decades of expectation? And after all these years, is football finally coming home?

️ BRIT SIX 2025/26 – Ep. 31 El podcast del Big 6 de la Premier League ⚽️ Resumen de Temporada: Arsenal: una temporada histórica. El equipo de Mikel Arteta conquistó la Premier League por primera vez desde 2004, superando al Manchester City gracias a una campaña marcada por la regularidad, la solidez defensiva y el gran nivel de figuras como Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice y Viktor Gyökeres. Además, los Gunners alcanzaron la final de la Champions League tras eliminar a gigantes europeos y también llegaron a la final de la Carabao Cup, consolidando definitivamente el regreso del Arsenal a la élite del fútbol europeo. Manchester City: combinó títulos y transición. El equipo de Pep Guardiola terminó segundo en la Premier League detrás del Arsenal, pero conquistó la FA Cup y la Carabao Cup, reafirmando su dominio en las competiciones domésticas. En Europa, en cambio, sufrió una dura eliminación en Champions League ante el Real Madrid, en una campaña marcada además por el anuncio de la salida de Guardiola al final de la temporada, cerrando una era histórica en el club. Manchester United: el club tuvo una clara recuperación tras un inicio complicado. La llegada de Michael Carrick al banquillo revitalizó al equipo, que terminó asegurando el regreso a la Champions League gracias a una gran segunda mitad de temporada y triunfos importantes en partidos grandes. Los Red Devils recuperaron competitividad, estabilidad y optimismo de cara al futuro, pese a no lograr títulos en las copas domésticas. Liverpool: una campaña marcada por la irregularidad y la frustración. Tras comenzar como candidato, el equipo de Arne Slot perdió consistencia con el correr de los meses y terminó peleando apenas por asegurar puestos de Champions League, lejos de la lucha por el título. Además de los problemas futbolísticos y defensivos, la campaña quedó atravesada por el duro impacto emocional de la muerte de Diogo Jota y por la despedida de Mohamed Salah, quien cerró su etapa en Anfield. Chelsea: los Blues atravesaron múltiples cambios de entrenador y nunca lograron encontrar regularidad, terminando lejos de la pelea por la Premier y los puestos de Champions League. En Europa quedaron eliminados tempranamente ante el PSG, aunque lograron alcanzar la final de la FA Cup y las semifinales de la Carabao Cup. El club cerró la temporada anunciando la contratación de Xabi Alonso para el próximo curso. Tottenham: la temporada fue una auténtica pesadilla para el club. Los Spurs atravesaron varios cambios de entrenador, pasaron gran parte del campeonato peleando por no descender y recién aseguraron la permanencia en la última fecha de la Premier League. Una campaña marcada por la irregularidad, los problemas defensivos y una larga racha sin victorias. Aunque lograron reaccionar sobre el cierre y evitar el descenso, la temporada dejó una profunda crisis deportiva e institucional que obligará al club a replantear su proyecto de cara al futuro. ️ Adrià Jiménez Muñoz, Javi Parra Peña, Víctor Diéguez, Adrián Bernárdez, Andrés United & Rubén Calvo. ---- Si quieres tener acceso exclusivo al podcast (y ayudarnos con el proyecto), pueden ingresar aquí: https://www.patreon.com/britmaniaradio

One match. One trophy. One chance to make Arsenal history.Arsenal are one game away from completing a season that has already delivered Premier League glory.In this Champions League Final Preview, Elliott, Justin and JJ prepare for the biggest European match in Arsenal's history as Mikel Arteta's side travel to Budapest to face reigning Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain. The panel reflects on the magnitude of the occasion, where this fixture ranks among Arsenal's greatest matches, and what it means to arrive at the final as Premier League champions and unbeaten in Europe. The discussion revisits Arsenal's journey to Budapest, from an unbeaten League Phase campaign through the knockout rounds, highlighting the standout moments, performances and players who have carried Arsenal to the biggest stage in club football. David Raya, Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka and Viktor Gyökeres all come under the spotlight as the hosts reflect on the road to the final. Attention then turns to the significance of the occasion itself. The panel discusses what lifting the Champions League would mean for Arsenal Football Club, the impact it would have on Mikel Arteta's legacy, and why this opportunity feels different from anything Arsenal have experienced in recent years. The second half of the show focuses on Paris Saint-Germain. Elliott, Justin and JJ break down Luis Enrique's side, analysing their route to the final, attacking strengths, defensive vulnerabilities, tactical structure and key threats. The conversation explores where Arsenal can hurt PSG, how the midfield battle may develop, and whether the wide areas could ultimately decide the destination of European football's biggest prize. There's also a special Champions League-themed Six Pack, counting down six of Arsenal's most memorable European nights before the panel debates team news, predicted lineups, selection dilemmas and potential game-changing substitutions. Finally, the hosts make their Champions League Final predictions, discuss the possibility of extra time and penalties, and share what victory would mean for Mikel Arteta, Martin Ødegaard and Arsenal supporters around the world. Budapest awaits.Up The Arsenal.

Twenty-two years of "nearly" and "not quite" have officially been erased. The Premier League trophy is back in North London, carried there by the sheer, unyielding will of Mikel Arteta's meticulously constructed football machine.In this episode, we break down Arsenal's historic 2026 title-winning season—a campaign defined not by flashy showmanship, but by a cold, brilliant, and utterly suffocating pragmatism. We dive deep into the analytics and moments that shaped this historic run, including:How David Raya and the powerhouse duo of Gabriel and William Saliba conceded a miserly 26 goals all season.The tactical genius behind Arsenal's record-breaking 28 goals from set-pieces, including 18 devastating goals from corners.The evolution of Declan Rice into an unstoppable complete midfielder, Bukayo Saka's talismanic brilliance, and how new faces like Viktor Gyökeres and Martín Zubimendi provided the perfect final pieces to the puzzle.From the dark days of 2019 to the red-and-white euphoria sweeping from the Emirates to Islington, this is the definitive story of how Arteta silenced the doubters and built a champion in his own obsessive image.

This was supposed to be a match review.Instead, it became something else.Arsenal closed the Premier League season with victory away at Crystal Palace — but the football quickly gave way to reflection, celebration and everything that came with finally seeing the trophy lifted after a twenty-two-year wait. Elliot and Justin react to the final day atmosphere, the guard of honour at Selhurst Park, the celebrations in North London and the emotions of finally watching this Arsenal side complete the journey. There's discussion on the trophy presentation, the symbolism of seeing ownership hand over the title, Martin Ødegaard's moment as captain and the scenes shared across the Arsenal fanbase worldwide. On the pitch, there is still a game to review.The lads work through Mikel Arteta's heavily rotated starting XI, discuss Martin Zubimendi's surprise role at right back, look at Max Dowman's involvement and reflect on Gabriel Jesus marking the day with a goal in what could prove to be one of his final Premier League starts for Arsenal. The performance itself is unpacked through the lens of freedom, rotation and whether anything meaningful can actually be learned from football played after the title is already secured. There's also reflection on the moments behind the moments — player leadership, the conversations that helped carry the squad through difficult periods, the significance of lifting the trophy after years of near misses, and what this achievement means for the club's future rather than simply its past. And finally, one image, one quote and one feeling.Standing there together.Standing in our dreams.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:18) - Match Review Setup & Champions Reflection(00:58) - Guard of Honour & Final Day Atmosphere(03:07) - Trophy Lift Emotions & Watching Arsenal Become Champions(06:15) - Kroenkes Deliver the Trophy & Symbolism Discussion(07:58) - Arteta's Entrance & Trophy Presentation(09:33) - Ødegaard Lifts the Trophy & Celebration Moments(10:41) - Favourite Celebration Scenes & “We Are Unbearable”(12:18) - Starting XI Reaction & Rotation Discussion(13:14) - Max Dowman Impressions & Christian Nørgaard Start(13:58) - Martin Zubimendi at Right Back Debate(15:53) - Midfield Selection & PSG Thoughts(18:50) - Gabriel Jesus Goal, Captaincy & Future Discussion(22:07) - Arsenal's Freedom, Match Context & Performance Reflection(23:47) - Palace Push Back & Closing Match Moments(25:42) - Match Stats & Control Analysis(28:30) - Post-Match Scenes Around North London(30:30) - Global Arsenal Celebrations & Fan Connection(32:29) - Mikel Arteta's Trophy Lift Reflections(34:02) - Josh Kroenke, Belief & What Comes Next(38:51) - Martin Ødegaard's Journey to the Title(41:10) - Declan Rice, Player Meetings & Leadership Voices(44:36) - Bukayo Saka, Perspective & “Standing In Our Dreams”(47:35) - PSG Question & Looking Towards the Final(49:22) - Outro & Champions Sign Off

The Cooligans break down why Luis Enrique may have built the perfect tactical trap for Mikel Arteta's side and whether Arsenal are truly ready for the biggest match in club football.

Michael Olise is on a ridiculous run, closing in on Lionel Messi's single-season assist record and forcing a real conversation: is he the best winger in the world right now? We break down what's actually driving his production, whether the Messi comparisons are fair or completely out of control, and what it says about how quickly fans crown “the next Messi.” Plus, PSG just ran through Liverpool, and now questions are getting louder around Arne Slot—is this a system problem, a personnel issue, or something deeper? Then we get into one of the messiest stories in global soccer right now: World Cup ticket chaos. Fans are realizing their tickets might not match what they originally bought, as FIFA continues to adjust seating categories behind the scenes. Is this just modern dynamic pricing… or are fans being sold something that doesn't fully exist yet? We unpack why this feels bigger than just expensive tickets—and what it says about who the World Cup is really for now. And finally, disaster for the USMNT. Patrick Agyemang is out with a torn Achilles, leaving a massive hole in the squad heading toward the World Cup. We talk through how the team replaces his presence, whether anyone is actually ready to step into that role, and what this injury reveals about the depth—and fragility—of this USMNT group at the worst possible time.

In this episode we look back on Sunday's disappointing 2-0 defeat to Man City in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley. We start with discussion of team selection informed by injury, the early chances for Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka, and the way the dynamic of the game potentially changed after the Piero Hincapie yellow card. Arsenal struggled to deal with City's tactical set-up, which leads to a discussion about Mikel Arteta's decision to start Kepa over David Raya. There's focus on the keeper after his big mistake, but were we also impacted by the drop off between him and Raya with the ball at his feet? That goalkeeper decision comes under real scrutiny as Arteta gave into sentiment, which is not really like him, before we examine both goals we conceded and our difficulties at the other end. We also talk about how it's ok to feel annoyed at losing a final even if we have lots more to play for, and there are listener questions about number 2 keepers in general, Rice and Zubimendi, Bukayo Saka, and lots more besides.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.
