Podcast appearances and mentions of Declan Rice

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?

Entre o 'ralhete' da mãe de Declan Rice por causa de uma foto e a lição de estilo de Mourinho a Morata por levar um carro "velho" para o treino, o Mundial começa com muito humor e zero descanso.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

England finished off their World Cup warmups with a 3-0 win over Costa Rica in Orlando, but only after they'd been made to wait by adverse weather. Declan Rice, Anthony Gordon and Ollie Watkins scored as attention now turns to the game against Croatia next week, as Thomas Tuchel's men look to finally bring football home. Back on domestic soil, one of England's stars is the subject of a mega-money bid from Manchester City. Elliot Anderson is a wanted man, with City reportedly having bid over £100m for the Nottingham Forest midfielder. Despite being no longer a Premier League side, Wolves are making headlines too. They've sacked Rob Edwards just days after he was instrumental in the signings of Kieran Trippier and Raul Jimenez, and are replacing him with Portuguese boss Cesar Peixoto.

The NN Pod begins its end-of-season player review series as Gavin returns to the show following Arsenal's Premier League title celebrations and a football-filled trip across England, Scotland and Europe. From the atmosphere around the Emirates on trophy-lift day to watching the Champions League Final in Amsterdam, the hosts reflect on a memorable few weeks before turning their attention to the squad review.  Part One focuses on the foundation of Arsenal's title-winning side. The panel grades the goalkeepers, defenders and deeper midfielders, discussing the seasons of David Raya, Jurriën Timber, Ben White, Cristhian Mosquera, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhães, Piero Hincapié and Riccardo Calafiori.  The conversation then moves into midfield, where Declan Rice, Martín Zubimendi, Christian Nørgaard and Myles Lewis-Skelly come under the microscope. The hosts debate Player of the Season contenders, discuss the impact of injuries and availability, and consider which players exceeded expectations during Arsenal's championship campaign.  With grades ranging from A* to F, there are disagreements, surprises and plenty of discussion around the players who helped Arsenal lift the Premier League trophy. Part Two, covering the attacking players, follows next week.  The grades are in.

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.

On this week's episode of the Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids wrap up another chaotic Premier League season… but not before getting distracted by AI-generated football conspiracies, military dolphins, and Declan Rice answering a FaceTime call LIVE on the podcast the morning after his 5am title celebrations.The lads dive into Arsenal finally getting over the line after 22 years of waiting, with an emotional live chat from Declan Rice fresh off the back of the celebrations, plus debate whether guards of honour have officially become the most awkward tradition in football.There's also discussion around Liverpool's uncertain future, Mohamed Salah's comments, Spurs surviving the drop, and the absolute madness surrounding Southampton's playoff controversy.Elsewhere, the pod spirals beautifully into conversations about fake AI football news, Jose Mourinho rumours, and whether anyone can actually trust the internet anymore.

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

Avsnitt nummer 50 av Expressen Fotboll! Therese Strömberg och Pär Lagerström inleder med ett massivt fokus på Arsenal som (äntligen), efter 22 år, kan titulera sig Premier League-mästare. Vi diskuterar det märkliga i att vinna "i kavaj" , Mikel Artetas fenomenala tränargärning, lagets riskminimerande spel och frågar oss varför de möts av så mycket kritik och ifrågasättande. Vem har egentligen varit lagets MVP – David Raya, Gabriel eller Declan Rice? Dessutom delar vi ut betyg till Viktor Gyökeres debutsäsong i Arsenal. Vi djupdyker även i det juridiska kaoset inför Championship-kvalet och det uppmärksammade fuskandet i "Spygate 2". Som grädde på moset utsätts panelen för en blindranking av fotbollshistoriens värsta skandaler – från Calciopoli till Ekvatorialguineas könsfusk. Snäcke bjuder traditionsenligt på kvällens vassaste speltips. I avsnittets andra hälft ansluter Frida Olsson för att summera den dramatiska finalen i svenska cupen där Hammarby besegrade Häcken efter förlängning. Vi dissekerar Anna Anvegårds betydelse , den växande rivaliteten i damallsvenskan, Malmö FF:s trevande inledning och haveriet i Djurgården. Till sist blickar vi fram emot den stundande Champions League-finalen på Ullevål mellan giganterna Barcelona och Lyon.

In this episode we look back at Sunday's dramatic 1-0 win away at West Ham. We chat about the bright start Arsenal made with numerous chances in the opening 20 minutes before momentum was halted by Ben White's injury and Mikel Arteta's decision to use Declan Rice at right-back – a decision which was hard to understand. We also discuss second half subs as he endeavoured to change things around, and the three key incidents in the final stages: the Mateus Fernandes chance, Leandro Trossard's goal, and the 'goal' West Ham scored which was ruled out for two obvious fouls on David Raya. There was a lot to go through for Arsenal fans at the time, and since with some frankly dishonest commentary and punditry, but in the end we took three vital points. We also answer listener questions about what we do at right-back if White's injury is bad, the collective effort being more important than any one individual, Zubimendi's reaction to being a sub who was subbed, and lots more.EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/arseblog Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

Rio is joined by Ste Howson and Joel Beya to break down Manchester United's frustrating performance against Sunderland and why the reaction from some fans has gone completely over the top.While Ste labels the display “terrible”, Rio pushes back on the idea that one bad performance should suddenly end the discussion around Michael Carrick's future - arguing that supporters are being disrespectful both to Sunderland and to the wider rebuilding process at Old Trafford.The trio also debate what United's squad should look like moving forward, including which players Ste believes should leave the club, the recruitment strategy INEOS are finally getting right and why goalkeeper Lammens could end up winning the Players' Player of the Year award.Rio also gives insight into the mentality needed inside elite dressing rooms after Aurélien Tchouaméni was fined for repeatedly striking team-mate Ernesto Valverde at Real Madrid - explaining why arguments between players are often a positive sign and revealing how former Rangers manager Walter Smith actively encouraged fights during training sessions during his time at Manchester United.There's also a heated discussion around Bruno Fernandes winning the Football Writers' Award over Declan Rice and Erling Haaland, with Rio insisting that football awards should be based on performances rather than sportsmanship or narratives.Plus Rio explains why Marcus Rashford could still be one of the bargains of the summer transfer window, why David Raya may have just won Arsenal the Premier League title and why he believes Arsenal could now be favourites for the Champions League.And as always, there's chaos around VAR decisions, bizarre rule change suggestions and a typically fiery debate between Rio and Ste over what Manchester United fans should actually expect from this current team.

In this episode I'm joined by Tim Stillman to look back on Wednesday's 0-0 draw at home to Sporting, a result which sees us qualify for the semi-finals of the Champions League for the second year in a row. We chat about some of things Arsenal did and didn't do in the wake of Saturday's defeat to Bournemouth, with focus first on a forward line that has some fundamental limitations that hamper our ability to play the kind of attacking football we'd like. As well as that, we discuss the way we controlled the game in the second half, leaning on the areas of the pitch where we do have top class talent, and how we restricted the opposition to just one shot on target all night. There are some interesting comments from Declan Rice about how the players feel about progression in this competition, parallels with some other European campaigns, and spotlight on how we're the only English team left in the Champions League after everyone else, and giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona fell by the wayside to set up a fascinating clash with Atletico Madrid in the next round.EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/arseblog Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!If you can donate the April fundraiser, the link is here - https://www.justgiving.com/page/avp2026Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.
