Podcasts about Granit Xhaka

Daniel and Jason each independently rebuilt Chelsea from scratch — same £1 billion budget, same rule: only sign players who were actually available during BlueCo's tenure. What they found out about their own club is not flattering.We've been threatening to do this episode for about a year, and we finally sat down and did it: rebuild the entire Chelsea squad using only transfers that were realistically available since BlueCo took over in the 2022–23 window through last winter. Same rough budget as the real thing — just under £1.5 billion, since that's what's actually been spent — and we did it completely independently, without comparing notes beforehand.The RulesNothing unrealistic. No Erling Haaland, no Kylian Mbappé — just players Chelsea could conceivably have gotten given the timing and their wage structure. Beyond that, anything goes.Defense: A Back Four That Could Have Played Together for Four YearsBoth of us kept Levi Colwill without question. From there it diverges into “what if” territory: Cristian Romero (Cucurella's Tottenham countryman) as one option at center back for the money Chelsea actually spent on Wesley Fofana, alongside cheaper alternatives like Gleison Bremer and Josko Gvardiol — both of whom were on the table for less than what Chelsea paid for Axel Disasi or Benoît Badiashile. At left back, it's Marc Cucurella against the tantalizing alternative universe where Chelsea signs Nuno Mendes instead — now arguably the best left back in the world — plus a nod to keeping Ian Maatsen around instead of selling him off.Midfield: The Two Nobody Argues WithMoises Caicedo and Cody Palmer were the two names both of us kept without hesitation — Caicedo for £116m looks like one of the better bits of business BlueCo has actually done, and Palmer, whatever you think of the scouting behind it, has been the one genuine coup. From there, the discussion opens up into names Chelsea could have had for a fraction of the outlay on Romeo Lavia, Dário Essugo, or Carney Chukwuemeka — including a free transfer for Christian Eriksen that was floated on this podcast for months before Chelsea ignored it.Wide Areas: Same Brain, Same AnswerIndependently, we both landed on Raphinha for the left wing — a name Chelsea were actually linked with around the same price point. The right wing is where it gets painful: Chelsea's actual buy in that window was Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, while Michael Olise was there for the taking and slipped away purely over wages. We also dig into whether Olise or Pedro Neto is the better player today, and what it means that Chelsea ended up paying more for the worse option.Strikers: João Pedro Stays, But Look at Who Got AwayJoão Pedro remains the starter in both our rebuilds, but the exercise turns up striker options Chelsea could have had for less than what they eventually spent — Dominic Solanke, Alexander Isak, Victor Osimhen, Viktor Gyökeres, and Jørgen Strand Larsen all get a mention as players who were on the market at some point during BlueCo's reign and went elsewhere.The Bench, and the Real NumbersWe round out both squads with backups at every position — Matheus Nunes, Adam Wharton, Youri Tielemans, Martín Zubimendi, and even Granit Xhaka (available for a fraction of what Sunderland reportedly wants for him now) all show up as realistic squad depth options.Then we do the sobering part: laying out, window by window, everything BlueCo has actually bought and sold since 2022 — and it is a genuinely rough list to read back. Almost a billion and a half spent, barely half of that recouped in sales, and a scouting department that, by our count, has produced maybe six good buys and three academy graduates in four years. Everything else is filed under “just terrible business.” This is a public episode.

The World Cup semi-finals are set after a weekend that produced drama, controversy and tragedy in equal measure. Spain beat Belgium 2-1 in Los Angeles, with Mikel Merino scoring a late winner. That goal came after Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois went off injured and his replacement Senne Lammens spilled a shot from distance. England beat Norway 2-1 after extra time in Miami, with Jude Bellingham scoring both goals for his team. Argentina beat Switzerland 3-1 after extra time in Kansas City. Alexis Mac Allister struck first then Switzerland equalised in the second half through Dan Ndoye, before Breel Embolo was controversially sent off following a VAR review under the mistaken identity protocol. The referee had initially booked Leandro Paredes, before VAR identified the foul as a dive by Embolo, who received his second yellow card of the game. Switzerland were furious, with captain Granit Xhaka saying the decision changed the game. The weekend's most sobering news was the death of South Africa midfielder Jayden Adams at the age of 25, just weeks after playing at the World Cup. France face Spain tomorrow at 11pm UAE time. England face Argentina on Wednesday, also at 11pm. Mina Rzouki presents Trending Middle East's World Cup round-up, a daily bonus series from The National for the duration of the tournament.

In this electric, late-night episode of The Cooligans After Dark, Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros fire up the microphones live from Miami to unpack a chaotic day of World Cup quarterfinal action. The guys kick off with Argentina's high-stakes 3-1 victory over Switzerland, a match far tighter than the final scoreline suggests. They dive headfirst into the massive refereeing controversy surrounding Breel Embolo's game-altering second yellow card for simulation. Spurred by the new "mistaken identity" VAR protocol, the hosts engage in a fierce debate over whether video review belongs anywhere near yellow cards, while praising a clutch, world-class brace from Julián Álvarez that saved an exhausted, human-looking Lionel Messi against a disciplined Swiss squad anchored by a legendary Granit Xhaka. The theater only intensifies as the guys shift focus to the watch party tour's very first extra-time thriller: England's dramatic 2-1 triumph over Norway. Alexis and Christian tackle a double dose of tournament controversy, starting with Erling Haaland's disallowed go-ahead goal that was nullified by a highly questionable, soft defensive flop. They then dissect Jude Bellingham's crucial equalizer, which was clouded by allegations that a Norwegian goal kick struck an overhead skycam cable—a claim the players explicitly pointed out but FIFA's advanced ball sensors conveniently denied. To close out the night, the hosts look down the bracket to preview the titanic semifinal matchups ahead. Christian and Alexis trade tactical blueprints and drop official score predictions for the highly anticipated Spain vs. France heavyweight bout. Finally, they map out the psychological warfare and massive historical narratives set to collide when the Three Lions meet Argentina with a spot in the World Cup Final on the line.

In this high-energy live reaction episode of The Cooligans, Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros broadcast live from a remarkably humid Miami to break down Spain's dramatic 2-1 victory over Belgium in the World Cup quarterfinals. The guys dissect an unpredictable game of two halves that saw a cagey opening explode into a chaotic, vibe-driven second period. They analyze Belgium's impressive defensive resilience and Charles De Ketelaere's shocking header that broke Spain's clean-sheet streak, all before a devastating gluteal injury forced world-class Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois out of the match. The hosts heap praise on Spanish midfielder Mikel Merino, dubbed the squad's ultimate closer, who stepped onto the pitch and scored the game-winning goal just three minutes later. They weigh the post-match fallout of the result, reflecting on the poignant international retirement of Belgian maestro Kevin De Bruyne. The conversation highlights a fiery "Stock Up" and "Stock Down" segment, evaluating Lamine Yamal's performance under constant double-teams against an erratic outing from Spanish goalkeeper Unai Simón and a disappointing shift from Jeremy Doku. Alexis also leverages Belgium's competitive display to launch a passionate critique of the structural flaws, pay-to-play dynamics, and developmental discrepancies holding back U.S. Soccer. Looking ahead to the next phase of the tournament bracket, the guys preview a monumental semifinal heavyweight clash between Spain and a relentless France team. They also cast their eyes toward the remaining high-stakes quarterfinal matchups. Christian and Alexis debate whether Erling Haaland and Martin Ødegaard can exploit an injury-hampered England backline, and map out tactical expectations for a highly physical battle between Switzerland—led by Granit Xhaka and Swiss-Dominican hero Ruben Vargas—and Lionel Messi's resilient Argentina squad.

We break down the tactical predictions and statistical golden boot races unfiltered:France vs. Morocco (Prediction: 3-1 France): We expect a beautifully open, front-foot attacking spectacle in Boston. While Morocco's transitional counter-attacks can easily hurt teams out wide, Achraf Hakimi's aggressive overlaps will invite devastating space for Bradley Barcola, Michael Olise, and Kylian Mbappé on the break. We review the massive boost for Walid Regragui as newly signed Bayern Munich midfielder Ismael Saibari's hamstring injury appears far less severe than first feared.Spain vs. Belgium (Prediction: 2-0 Spain): Luis de la Fuente's squad will comfortably coast into the semifinals. Spain's defensive line has been an impenetrable fortress, remaining the only team all tournament to maintain a flawless clean sheet record. With Belgium heavily unbalanced upfront, low on winger depth, and managing a knock to Djed Spence, Domenico Tedesco will be forced into a defensive 4-5-1 block to pray for a penalty lottery.Argentina vs. Switzerland (Prediction: 2-1 Argentina): Lionel Scaloni's defending champions have heavily ridden their luck, looking defensively lax and chaotic against Cape Verde and Egypt. If core Swiss speedsters like Dan Ndoye and Johan Manzambi can recover full fitness, Switzerland's disciplined structure can easily punish Argentina on the counter. However, Lionel Messi's unmatched quality to drop deep and play for the collective unit will just edge the tie.⏱️ MID-SHOW HYDRATION BREAK

Griffin Warner talks betting for Tuesday. Griffin Warner opens episode 59 of What I Bet by looking back at two rough nights in Atlanta, where a blown ninth inning save on Sunday and a brutal extra inning loss on Monday turned safe unders into painful beats, leaving the show at 3 and 2 over its last five picks and 6 and 4 over its last ten heading into a Tuesday, July 7 card loaded with a World Cup window and sixteen Major League Baseball games. Warner turns first to the United States exit from the World Cup, describing goalkeeping mistakes on Monday night as some of the worst imaginable and pointing out that Portugal and Spain, both heavy favorites, needed stoppage time goals just to survive, a pattern that has produced ten stoppage time losses on his card this tournament even as he remains over five hundred overall. He breaks down an 11 a.m. Central kickoff between Argentina and Egypt, explaining a heavily juiced one and a half goal Argentina favorite against plus money on Egypt at a goal and a quarter, walking through how a one goal loss wins half the bet, a draw or win cashes it fully, and a two goal loss loses it all, while noting Lionel Messi alone can move plenty of money before the noon Eastern kickoff. He follows with a 3 p.m. Central match between Switzerland and Colombia, praising Swiss captain Granit Xhaka as one of the best midfield conductors in Europe and leaning toward Switzerland at any underdog price alongside the under at two and a quarter goals, while crediting Colombia's group win over Portugal as more a product of betting against Portugal than betting on Colombia itself. Warner then details how both World Cup moneylines have moved before shifting into a full baseball slate that opens with a Milwaukee and St. Louis doubleheader, where Jacob Misiorowski takes the mound fresh off a rough outing against Cincinnati. He works through Chicago and Baltimore, where an injury prone veteran finally looks like himself, Atlanta and Pittsburgh, where two bad bullpen nights make the matchup tough to trust, New York and Tampa Bay, Detroit and Oakland, Seattle and Miami, Houston and Washington, Philadelphia and Cincinnati, Kansas City and New York, a Boston and Chicago battle he calls tricky given his rule against road favorites, Cleveland and Minnesota, the doubleheader nightcap between Milwaukee and St. Louis, Los Angeles and Texas, Arizona and San Diego, Toronto and San Francisco, and a closing matchup between Colorado and Los Angeles that Warner calls far too cheap on the favorite. He closes the show with an update on an expired promo code, a promise to try to bring it back for Pregame.com, and his best bet of the night on the Miami Marlins and Max Meyer at home, calling it backing the hand that has fed the show all season and refusing to bite it before pointing listeners to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Straight Outta Vegas AM on social media.

Trainer Murat Yakin setzt im Duell gegen seinen Vorgänger Vladimir Petkovic auf Mut – und wird belohnt. Zwar tut sich die Schweiz phasenweise schwer, zeigt aber eine reife, abgeklärte Leistung und zieht verdient in die nächste Runde ein. Im Achtelfinal wartet nun entweder Kolumbien oder Ghana. Im Fokus stehen mehrere Schweizer Leistungsträger: Denis Zakaria überzeugt mit einer starken Partie als Rechtsverteidiger, Dan Ndoye bringt viel Dynamik ins Offensivspiel, und Johan Manzambi überzeugt mit nur einer Bewegung: Seine Vorarbeit zum 1:0 durch Breel Embolo ist spielentscheidend. Ausserdem erreicht Granit Xhaka den nächsten Meilenstein: Gegen Algerien absolviert der Captain sein 150. Länderspiel und reiht sich damit in einen exklusiven Kreis internationaler Topspieler ein. In der 354. Ausgabe der «Dritten Halbzeit» analysieren wir den Schweizer WM-Sieg gegen Algerien, diskutieren Murat Yakins Matchplan, bewerten die Schlüsselspieler und blicken auf die Chancen der Schweiz im Achtelfinal.Die Themen dieser Episode: 00:00 Intro 02:26 Die Szene des Spiels 15:15 Yakins Aufstellung 26:15 Man of the Match 34:00 Achtelfinal-Ausblick 41:55 Canada Day In der Dritten Halbzeit wird über den Schweizer Fussball diskutiert.

Wie gross ist der Einfluss von Petkovic auf das heutige Nationalteam noch? Was würde ein Sieg gegen Algerien für Murat Yakin und seinen Platz unter den grössten Schweizer Nationaltrainern bedeuten?

Recorded live (sort of) after Germany's shock exit from the World Cup — Daniel and Jason dive straight into Chelsea's chaotic summer.We almost didn't make this one. Jason was late. Daniel had to leave early. Nobody had spoken to each other beforehand. And we'd just watched Germany bottle a penalty shootout to Paraguay in one of the wildest World Cup moments of the round of 32. Naturally, we talked about Chelsea.The Xhaka SituationChelsea opened negotiations for Granit Xhaka with an £8 million bid, and the internet completely lost it. We actually defend the bid — Xhaka turns 34 next week, Transfermarkt has him valued at €8 million, and this is just how transfer negotiations work. You come in low, Sunderland counters, you meet somewhere around £15 million. If it goes above that, we have a problem. The real mystery is why Chelsea fans were more insulted than Sunderland apparently was.The Maresca StatementChelsea FC officially released a statement about Enzo Maresca's departure — confirming they received £17 million from Manchester City, plus an undisclosed amount. The club's framing? Maresca upended the whole season by wanting to leave. Which... isn't wrong. But as someone on Twitter put it: who keeps hiring these managers? Blueco picked Liam R. Sr. too, and you don't get a pass for that. We get into whether a John Terry interim would have changed the trajectory of last season (short answer: yes, at least in terms of locker room morale).Young Signings, Overcrowded Positions & The Hato DebateChelsea have brought in Barcoa, Quinde, and Amaga — three young players, two pulled straight from Strasbourg. We're high on Quinde but scratching our heads about where he actually plays. And Daniel makes a case that Hato, as much as we like him, is a center back — not a left wing back. Victor Moses made the wing back conversion work under Conte, but that was a very specific set of circumstances.The Shirt Sponsor SagaNewcastle just signed Knox Hydration as their front-of-shirt sponsor for £60 million a year. A 12th-place Newcastle team. Meanwhile Chelsea — one of the biggest clubs in the world — are heading into their third straight season without a proper shirt sponsor. The rumor that Knox approached Chelsea first and were turned down is maddening, if true. We lay out the three possible explanations: the asking price was too high (hard to believe after Newcastle), nobody wants to work with Blueco (possible), or they just... haven't tried (our money is on this one).Next episode: Back on Monday — no Thursday transfer episode this week.

In this episode there's some more background to Arsenal's reported interest in Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, as well as a conversation about the player versus the person. He would certainly add quality to the midfield but our chequered past with him as an opponent gives us, as fans, something to think about if a deal does go through. We also chat about Granit Xhaka being linked with Chelsea, and further departures from the medical team which will see that area of our backroom set-up require a significant refresh. As well as that we answer questions about where our priorities lie next season between Premier League and Champions League, potential full-back signings, Piero Hincapie, ranking our World Cup players as the best of their nation to ever play for us, plus there's waffle, nonsense, geographical ignorance, and lots more.

On this episode, Harry Symeou discusses the latest Arsenal news. We talk Ayyoub Bouaddi, Yan Diomande's preference of Paris Saint-Germain and what that means for the future of Bradley Barcola - a player the Gunners are reportedly keeping a close eye on.

Die Schweiz steht nach zwei Spielen an der Fussball-WM 2026 so gut wie sicher in der K.o.-Phase. Zeit für eine erste Zwischenbilanz: Welche Teams haben bisher überzeugt? Wer hat überrascht? Und welche Geschichten prägen dieses Turnier abseits des Nationalteams? Natürlich richtet sich der Blick aber auch auf das Team von Murat Yakin: Stellt der Trainer zu vorsichtig auf – trotz des Erfolgs gegen Bosnien-Herzegowina? Muss Johan Manzambi nach seinen starken Leistungen in die Startelf? Und weshalb steht Granit Xhaka bei jedem Turnier im Mittelpunkt? Ausserdem diskutieren wir die grösste Frage aus Schweizer Sicht: Wie weit kann es für das Team an dieser WM gehen? Die 351. Ausgabe der «Dritten Halbzeit» liefert Analysen, Debatten und Einschätzungen zwischen San Diego und dem Podcast-Studio in Zürich – inklusive eines Blicks auf ein überraschend abwesendes Thema: Wo steckt eigentlich US-Präsident Donald Trump an dieser WM? Die Themen: 00:00 Intro 01:46 WM-Stimmung in der Schweiz 08:13 Kein Trump, kein ICE, aber volle Stadien 17:57 Diese Teams haben überzeugt 27:26 Unser Eindruck der Schweiz 32:16 Dauerthema Granit Xhaka 40:39 Stellt Yakin zu ängstlich auf? 44:43 Ist Manzambi zu gut für die Bank 52:13 Vorschau auf das Kanada-Spiel 01:00:35 Ist Kobel gut genug? 01:05:07 Werbepausen, Experten und WM-Momente In der Dritten Halbzeit wird über den Schweizer Fussball diskutiert.

Die Schweiz gewinnt ihr zweites Gruppenspiel gegen Bosnien-Herzegowina überzeugend 4:1 und steht damit praktisch in der K.o.-Phase der Fussball-WM 2026. Doch die Partie kippt erst nach der entscheidenden «Hydration Break» in der zweiten Halbzeit. Beim Stand von 0:0 beweist Murat Yakin ein goldenes Händchen: Mit Johan Manzambi und Ruben Vargas bringt er genau die Spieler, die das Spiel zugunsten der Schweiz entscheiden. Vor allem Johan Manzambi liefert eine beeindruckende Antwort auf die Kritik nach seinem Auftritt gegen Katar. Der 20-Jährige wird zum Matchwinner und prägt den Schweizer Sieg mit seinen zwei Toren und einer herausragenden Leistung. Aber auch Granit Xhaka zeigt einmal mehr, warum er dann besonders stark ist, wenn der Druck am grössten ist. In der 350. Ausgabe der «Dritten Halbzeit» – oder neu: «Fünftes Viertel» – analysieren Tilman Pauls und Dominic Wuillemin den Schweizer Sieg direkt aus dem Stadion in Los Angeles: die Startelf von Murat Yakin, die taktische Bedeutung der Trinkpause, die Schlüsselspieler der Partie und die Atmosphäre auf den Rängen. Eine Folge über starke Wechsel, mutige Entscheidungen und einen Abend, der für die Schweiz richtungsweisend sein könnte. Die Themen: 00:00 Intro 05:00 Die Kraft der Trinkpause 09:53 Parallelen zum Katar-Spiel 15:52 Shootingstar Johan Manzambi 22:39 Die Reaktion von Granit Xhaka 28:26 Stimmung und Stadion In der Dritten Halbzeit wird über den Schweizer Fussball diskutiert.

Reizfigur, Boss und Torschütze: Rund um Granit Xhaka gab es einige Schlagzeilen nach dem enttäuschenden 1:1 der Schweizer gegen Katar. Mit dem 4:1 gegen Bosnien-Herzegowina gelang eine starke Antwort - vor allem durch das Ergebnis, das viel mit dem Freiburger Shootingstar Johan Manzambi zu tun hat. Warum es trotzdem keine Entwarnung für die Schweiz geben sollte, erklärt kicker-Reporter Jim Decker aus Kalifornien. Dazu alles andere Wichtige aus der WM-Nacht und die Frage: Sollte sich bei allem Tempo von Diomandé und Co. nicht auch die Elfenbeinküste Sorgen wegen der DFB-Elf machen?

Die Schweiz startet mit einer grossen Enttäuschung in die WM. Gegen Katar ist die Nati über weite Strecken das bessere Team, erspielt sich die klareren Torchancen und kontrolliert das Spiel. Doch ein Eigentor von Miro Muheim in der 94. Minute sorgt für einen bitteren Tiefschlag: Statt eines Pflichtsiegs steht zum Auftakt nur ein 1:1 gegen den vermeintlich schwächsten Gruppengegner. Wie konnte die Schweiz trotz ihrer Überlegenheit kein Tor aus dem Spiel heraus erzielen? Weshalb fehlte im Abschluss die Konsequenz? Tragen Führungsspieler wie Granit Xhaka und Manuel Akanji Verantwortung dafür, dass die Mannschaft ihre Dominanz nicht in einen Sieg ummünzen konnte? Oder waren es die Einwechselspieler, denen es an Disziplin und Ordnung fehlte? In der zweiten WM-Ausgabe der Dritten Halbzeit analysieren wir den Schweizer Fehlstart, die Rolle von Trainer Murat Yakin, die Folgen für den weiteren Turnierverlauf und die Stimmung im Stadion von San Diego. Ausserdem diskutieren wir, weshalb dieses 1:1 unangenehme Erinnerungen an frühere Rückschläge weckt – und warum der Druck bereits nach dem ersten Spiel deutlich gestiegen ist. In der Dritten Halbzeit wird über den Schweizer Fussball diskutiert. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Die Fussball-WM 2026 beginnt – und kurz vor dem Start gerät die Schweizer Nationalmannschaft doch noch in die Schlagzeilen. Captain Granit Xhaka kritisiert die Einstellung und die Trainingswoche in San Diego, während sich die Einreise von Breel Embolo wegen Visa-Problemen verzögert. Wie gross sind die Chancen der Schweiz an der WM 2026? Welche Rolle kann das Team von Murat Yakin spielen? Und wer sind die grossen Favoriten auf den Titel? Ausserdem sprechen wir über die Begleitumstände dieses Turniers in den USA: Tickets für mehrere Tausend Dollar, Parkplätze für mehrere Hundert und eine Fifa, die den Fussball immer stärker kommerzialisiert. Welche Rolle spielt dabei Donald Trump? Und können wir uns darüber überhaupt noch empören? Marcel Rohner und Oliver Gut diskutieren mit Dominic Wuillemin, der das Schweizer Nationalteam an der WM begleiten wird, sowie mit Tilman Pauls, der bereits in San Diego vor Ort ist, über die Chancen der Schweiz, die Favoriten des Turniers und die Herausforderungen dieser Weltmeisterschaft. Die Themen: 00:00 Intro 06:23 Granit Xhaka schlägt Alarm 16:12 Breel Embolos Visum 28:32 Ist Murat Yakin wirklich so cool? 38:19 Die Stärken des Schweizer Teams 44:05 Wer wird zur Überraschung? 49:42 Rückblick auf die WM 1994 57:03 Ticketpreise, Trump und Infantino In der Dritten Halbzeit wird über den Schweizer Fussball diskutiert.

On this week's Week in Football show, Elliott and Justin look back at a chaotic end to the domestic and European season as English clubs continue to dominate across the continent.Crystal Palace make history by winning the UEFA Conference League under Oliver Glasner, while Aston Villa lift the Europa League with Unai Emery collecting yet another European trophy. The lads discuss what these victories say about the growing financial and competitive power of Premier League clubs in Europe, and whether Emery's remarkable Europa League record changes how he should be viewed among modern managers.There's also reaction to Tottenham surviving relegation on the final day while West Ham go down despite beating Leeds, with discussion around Spurs' injury crisis, the media reaction to their survival, and the wider state of both clubs heading into next season.Elsewhere, Granit Xhaka's Sunderland secure European football in their first season back in the Premier League, Chelsea collapse out of Europe entirely after defeat to Sunderland, and questions continue around the structure of their bloated squad and long-term direction.The show also reflects on major Premier League farewells as Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, Bernardo Silva and John Stones all potentially close chapters with Liverpool and Manchester City. The conversation explores what those exits mean for the identities of both clubs moving forward.Plus: Hull City return to the Premier League after late Wembley drama, Southampton's Spygate fallout continues, Leicester City's decline into League One is examined, and the lads close by reflecting on football's ability to move quickly from glory to crisis.A wide-ranging look at the week that was in football — through an Arsenal lens.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:18) - Week in Football Introduction & Final Day Overview(01:27) - WATG: Premier League Final Day Roundup(03:59) - Tottenham Survive & West Ham Relegated(13:07) - Arsenal, Media Narratives & Premier League Coverage(19:42) - Granit Xhaka's Sunderland Reach Europe(24:44) - Chelsea Collapse & Squad Questions(28:05) - Manchester City Farewell: Bernardo Silva & John Stones(34:32) - Mohamed Salah, Robertson & Liverpool's End of Era(41:19) - Liverpool's Rebuild & Arne Slot Discussion(44:57) - Aston Villa & Crystal Palace Win European Trophies(51:10) - Unai Emery's Legacy & European Record(54:21) - Hull City Promotion & Southampton Spygate Fallout(01:00:12) - Leicester City's Decline & Football's Cruelty(01:03:19) - Outro

Qatar döms samtidigt ut som en total katastrof efter ett svagt 2025. Panelen tipsar om att hålla ett extra öga på den bosniske giganten Edin Džeko, som gör sitt sista mästerskap, samt det 20-åriga schweiziska stjärnskottet Johan Manzambi.

Arsenal are Premier League champions.In a special instant-reaction episode, Gavin, Elliot and Justin react to Bournemouth's late result against Manchester City confirming Arsenal as champions of England for the first time in 22 years.  The lads relive where they were for the final whistle, the surreal emotions of watching the final seconds tick down, and the feeling of finally seeing Arsenal get over the line after years of rebuilds, near misses and setbacks.  There's reflection on Mikel Arteta's journey from the early rebuild years through to delivering the title, the evolution of the squad across multiple seasons, and the players who helped shape the project along the way — from Emile Smith Rowe and Granit Xhaka to Aaron Ramsdale, Kieran Tierney and Jorginho.  The episode also looks at the scale of Arsenal's global support, the scenes outside the Emirates Stadium, the reaction across social media, and what this title means to supporters who have waited more than two decades for this moment.  The hosts revisit some of their defining moments of the season, including David Raya's huge save against West Ham, Gabriel's winner at St James' Park and Gabriel Martinelli's late equaliser against Manchester City.  There's also discussion around Arteta's tactical evolution, squad building, recruitment, injuries, mentality and how Arsenal adapted across multiple title challenges before finally becoming champions.  Finally, attention turns to the celebrations at the Emirates this weekend, the atmosphere around the club, and why nobody inside the Arsenal fanbase wants to think about anything beyond lifting the Premier League trophy.  Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:35) - Arsenal Confirmed As Premier League Champions(00:58) - Final Whistle Reactions & Emotional Scenes(03:44) - Watching The Clock During Bournemouth vs Man City(07:41) - Arteta's Arsenal Journey & Players Who Didn't Complete It(13:13) - Edu, Josh Kroenke & Arsenal's Structural Rebuild(15:04) - “We Kept The Receipts” | Rival Reactions & Online Narratives(17:19) - Arsenal's Growth Into A Global Football Power(19:51) - Emirates Celebrations & Supporter Connection(21:34) - Worldwide Arsenal Celebrations & Global Fanbase Discussion(23:45) - Arsenal Content, Club Media & Celebrating The Moment(25:46) - Moment Of The Season Picks(29:42) - Mikel Arteta's Impact, Evolution & Squad Building(36:56) - Palace Celebrations, Sunday Atmosphere & Staying Present(39:01) - Champions League Final Put To One Side(40:30) - Crystal Palace Rotation Discussion & Outro(42:20) - “Champions”
