Keep, Bench or Sell? We ruthlessly (or not, as the case may be) go through the squad, stating the case to either sell, keep or bench each member, with a view to making room for new arrivals and making us even better next season. There are some tough conversations to have about certain players. Can we keep relying on players whose bodies keep breaking down, is this the time to sell Odegaard, or Martinelli, is there a price at which you would cash in on Calafiori, and what do we do with the returning Nwaneri?

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. Plus, the Football League season finally comes to an end as Sids is crowned champion… and receives one of the most outrageous prizes the podcast has ever seen.It's the final Premier League episode of the season — and naturally, it completely loses the plot.Chumbawamba- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 00:00 - Pete opens for a brief remote segment after being called away urgently01:24 - Crouchy's ridiculous new BBQ setup03:24 - Plans for a future podcast BBQ episode04:00 - End of season reflections begin04:26 - Guards of honour debate kicks off05:12 - Bernardo Silva & John Stones discussion06:01 - “Where does it end?” with football send-offs06:58 - Nobody actually likes guards of honour08:18 - Arsenal title win reactions09:20 - Spurs surviving relegation and West Ham going down10:41 - Bizarre celebrations get called out11:20 - Odegaard dragging Arteta into the celebrations11:53 - Ollie Watkins partying before scoring a brace at Man City12:51 - End of season review officially starts14:31 - Players mentally switching off after the season ends15:33 - Why footballers are told to completely rest16:15 - How Arsenal balance title celebrations with Champions League prep17:30 - The Arsenal celebrations outside the Emirates17:58 - Declan Rice joins live on FaceTime after winning the league18:59 - Rice admits the pressure was huge this season: “it can't happen again”20:16 - Why Declan Rice “makes you love Arsenal”20:55 - Arteta finally gets credit for Arsenal's rebuild21:56 - Liverpool's uncertain future and Salah's comments24:07 - Has Salah's relationship with Liverpool broken down?25:08 - Southampton playoff controversy explained26:13 - Would players feel robbed by the playoff punishment?27:51 - Middlesbrough accidentally benefiting from the chaos29:13 - AI football rumours start fooling everyone29:53 - Crouchy gets completely tricked by fake Dua Lipa photos31:05 - “Dua Lipa” joins the podcast31:12 - “Game is gone” as AI takes over football discourse31:52 - Mourinho, Xabi Alonso & fake football news32:18 - Crouchy somehow ends up discussing military dolphins34:38 - Spurs fan asks how to present Player of the Year award35:34 - Why relegated clubs shouldn't even hold awards nights37:20 - Final Football League standings revealed38:21 - Paddy Power's brutal final message to Chris Stark40:09 - Sids receives an outrageous custom championship ring41:36 - The dramatic “ring ceremony” begins43:26 - Final reflections on the football season44:04 - Crouchy delivers emotional end-of-season speech44:56 - “Please continue to kiss the ring”For more Peter Crouch: Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch For more Chris Stark Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_StarkInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/For more Steve Sidwell Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14 #PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast Hosted on Acast.

Arsenal Face Big Picks For PSG, Gyokeres, Havertz, Hincapie, Calafiori, Lewis-Skelly, Odegaard & EzeArsenal face HUGE selection calls ahead of the Champions League Final against PSG, with major decisions involving Viktor Gyökeres, Kai Havertz, Piero Hincapié, Riccardo Calafiori, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Martin Odegaard and Eberechi Eze.In today's episode of The Gooner Talk, Arsenal reporter Tom Canton breaks down the massive selection dilemmas facing Mikel Arteta ahead of the biggest match of the modern era.Who starts against PSG? Does Gyökeres lead the line? Is Havertz the better fit? What happens in defence with Hincapié and Calafiori? Does Lewis-Skelly keep his place? How crucial is Odegaard's role? And where does Eze fit into Arsenal's thinking?

Scott and Adam soak in Arsenal's Premier League title and turn their attention to the Champions League Final against PSG. The episode opens with both hosts reflecting on the trophy lift and the emotional weight of finally getting over the line. After years of near-misses, eighth-place finishes, and a fan base conditioned to expect heartbreak, this one hits different. Scott traces his own 15-season journey as an Arsenal supporter and the stretch where a title felt unrealistic given the financial gap with Manchester City. Adam picks up the thread from his own entry point during the Emery transition, walking through the slow build under Arteta from top-four hopefuls to genuine contenders to champions. The conversation zeroes in on what defined this season. Scott highlights a remarkable consistency stat: Arsenal were the only team in the league to never be outperformed by more than one expected goal in any single match, while doing it to opponents 20 times. Both hosts push back on the narratives that followed Arsenal all year, from questions about Jorginho's quality to skepticism about the team's attacking output and Arteta's in-game management. The verdict: this was a team that won ugly when it had to and never stopped believing, even through the late wobble against Bournemouth and City. The second half pivots to the Champions League Final against PSG. Scott and Adam break down last season's semifinal, where Donnarumma's saves and a couple of fortunate PSG finishes proved the difference. They identify PSG's pressing intensity and high turnover creation as the primary threat, but also point to vulnerabilities when Hakimi and Nuno Mendes push high and leave space behind. The lineup discussion runs through every position: Calafiori gets the nod at left back for his ability to create moments, Mosquera slots in at right back with Timber's fitness uncertain, and the midfield debate between Lewis-Skelly, Eze, and Zubimendi alongside Rice and Odegaard takes up the most real estate. Trossard earns the left wing start on big-game pedigree. Both hosts predict a tight, low-scoring affair, with Scott floating a nervy 1-0 or a 1-1 that goes to extra time, and Adam going 2-1 Arsenal. The dream ending: a set-piece goal from a defender. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Jacob is joined by James Benge — beat reporter, CBS contributor, and one of the most measured voices covering Arsenal week to week — for a Dugout that goes beyond the scoreline and into the bones of what this club is becoming. Here's what's inside:

Arsenal v Burnley Preview : Take nothing for granted. Get the job done . Just win (and score a few please!) Episode 182 begins with Tabs and Ian (aka @arsecannonpics) still recovering from the undercover chaos at the London Stadium, the stress, the silence, the pretending, the VAR heart attack, and the surreal moment they finally celebrated Arsenal's winner 20 minutes away from the ground. With that madness behind them, attention turns to the final home game of the season: Burnley at the Emirates.Tabs and Ian break down the state of the squad after West Ham, including the worrying Ben White injury, Mosquera's likely involvement, and whether this is the moment for Odegaard to return to the XI to build rhythm ahead of PSG. They also look at Arsenal's recent run — five wins, one goal conceded since the defeat to City — and how the team have committed to grinding out whatever scoreline gets them over the line.There's also the small matter of Manchester City beating Crystal Palace, keeping the pressure sky‑high and ensuring Arsenal must be perfect from here.And then there's the other mission:the failed reconnaissance trip to Selhurst Park — “Project Trophy Lift at the Palace” — where Tabs and Ian scouted the ground, the routes, the vibes… only for Palace to ruin the plan by not doing their part. The hope now is that the team succeed where the scouting party didn't.The episode covers:, the undercover West Ham adventurethe Ben White injury and right‑back dilemmaMascara, Hincapié, and potential rotationOdegaard's minutes and the Champions League factorHavertz vs Gyökeres for BurnleyBurnley's dreadful away record and defensive collapseManchester City's win at Palace and what it meansthe nerves of the run‑in: 2 games, 180 minutes, no excusesthe Selhurst Park spying mission and the dream of a trophy lift in enemy territoryArsenal have a rare opportunity: relegated Burnley at home, Palace away with nothing to play for, and the title still within reach.

Pete had a colonoscopy yesterday. Arsenal are in the Champions League semi-finals. He's fine on both counts. Pete and Matt Candela are together on Thursday morning and the energy is genuinely electric — because Sunday at the Etihad is everything. Here's what's inside:

Scott and Adam process a deflating loss to Bournemouth and answer the questions that you provided. If you are a premium subscriber, you can listen to an ad-free version through Substack or you can add to your preferred podcast app through the personal RSS feed.  The conversation starts with the lineup. Neither host saw the announcement until moments before kickoff, and both were caught off guard by the absences of Odegaard, Saka, and Timber — none of whom even made the bench. With a midfield built around Rice and Zubimendi and Havertz dropped into a striker-adjacent role, the left side chemistry with Martinelli never clicked, and Arsenal struggled to generate open-play xG as a result. The first Bournemouth goal gets a close look: a defensive lapse in the space behind the right back, Ben White caught too central, and a Saliba clearance that agonizingly found the back of the net anyway. Both-things-can-be-true verdict: an avoidable situation that still required a bounce to go wrong. Despite the loss, Scott and Adam push back on doom narratives. Arsenal led the league in big chances in this match week, and have scored more three-goal games than any other side since December. The vibes around this team, both agree, are genuinely different from the dread-filled early kickoffs of the Emery era. The Q&A covers Havertz's best position when the attack is at full strength, and closes with a summer transfer discussion: what type of forward does Arsenal actually need, and which profile fits the left wing.

The captain is IGNORING the haters as Martin Odegaard signs Adidas deal and opens up — while fixture changes and fresh transfer links add to the latest developments around the club.In today's episode of The Gooner Talk, Arsenal reporter Tom Canton breaks down Odegaard's Adidas deal and his revealing comments. We analyse his leadership, role in Mikel Arteta's project, and why this is such a significant moment for Arsenal.We also cover the latest fixture changes — what's been altered, how it impacts Arsenal's schedule, and what it means for squad management. Plus, we dive into the newest transfer links and what they could signal about Arsenal's next moves.

Pete and Jacob are in good spirits heading into the international break — the Carabao Cup hangover is gone, the fixtures look winnable, and the Captain is coming back. This one is part title race optimism, part brutal summer honesty, and part gleeful Spurs schadenfreude. Here's what's inside:

Scott and Adam are back to break down Arsenal's League Cup Final loss to Manchester City. They push back on the post-match doom, arguing Arsenal's low-tempo approach wasn't a failure; it was a deliberate game plan built around missing Odegaard, Eze, and Martinelli. Without your A, B, and C options for getting between the lines, you adapt. City executed better on the day, but this wasn't a tactical masterclass dismantling. They also zoom out: Arsenal won the two matches that actually mattered that week, and the League Cup was always the fourth priority. Nobody's consoling themselves with a Carabao Cup if the Premier League and Champions League are still on the table. One loss, the fourth of the season and the first by more than a goal, doesn't change the trajectory of a title race. The episode closes with a look ahead, covering injury cover options, Saka's potential midfield role, Odegaard's return timeline, and what rotation might look like for Southampton and Sporting. The international break, annoying as it always is, might be exactly what this squad needs heading into the run-in. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Martin Odegaard and Jurrien Timber Injury Updates, Arsenal vs Man City Press Conference & More!Martin Odegaard and Jurrien Timber injury updates arrive ahead of a huge clash with Manchester City, as Mikel Arteta addresses the media in his latest press conference.In today's episode of The Gooner Talk, Arsenal reporter Tom Canton breaks down the latest on Odegaard and Timber's fitness, what their availability could mean for Arsenal, and how Arteta may adjust his plans accordingly. With a massive game against Manchester City approaching, every detail matters.We also analyse Arteta's press conference in full — key quotes, team news hints, tactical insight and the mindset heading into one of the biggest fixtures of the season.

Pete and Jacob Hawley are back for your Monday therapy session — because with a Champions League week and Arsenal vs Everton on the horizon, you're going to need your brain in fine fettle. Dropping early to get you in the right headspace, this one covers the full sweep from the muck of Mansfield to the biggest questions of the run-in. Here's what's inside: ☀️ The Eze Effect — is the "sunshine player" theory real, and could Eberechi Eze end up being Arsenal's most important player between now and May?

Jacob Hawley is back, the vibes are immaculate, and we're treating this episode as a much-needed therapy session. Arsenal is flying high, Spurs are crumbling, and we're breaking down all the chaotic joy. Let's revel in the title race! Key Topics Covered:

Arsenal find a way again.In this episode, we break down a tense 2–1 win over Chelsea decided by three crucial set pieces — two Arsenal corners and one unfortunate own goal. It wasn't a flowing, dominant performance, but it was decisive when it mattered.We begin with Arteta's Non-Negotiables and the pre-match context: late fitness doubts, midfield reshuffles, and what Odegaard's absence meant structurally. From there, we analyse the game's rhythm — an unexpectedly open, end-to-end contest that lacked control in key phases.The first half saw Arsenal strike from a beautifully worked corner routine before conceding from one of their own defensive lapses. We discuss the Zubimendi performance debate, the midfield spacing issues, and the growing theme of game-state management.In the second half, another corner proved decisive. We assess Timber's impact, Martinelli's directness off the bench, and whether Arsenal's attacking structure is functioning without its usual creative axis. Raya's key late saves and Arsenal's increasingly nervy final ten minutes come under the microscope — is this resilience or risk?There's a wider conversation about late-game control, possession surrender, and whether this side is defaulting too quickly into defensive protection mode.Part Two includes:– The Who Am I? Game– A full Whip Around the Grounds– A bumper VAR review featuring controversy from Bournemouth, Burnley, Leeds and beyond– Title race implications– Relegation theatre– And a look ahead to Brighton, with selection dilemmas and midfield questions front and centreThree points secured. Pressure maintained. Questions still lingering.The run-in tightens — and Arsenal stay in it.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(00:53) - Chelsea Win Context & Team News Reaction(01:13) - Line-Up Breakdown & Ødegaard Absence(03:32) - Stats of the Game, Early Rhythm & Open Midfield Debate(05:25) - Sánchez & Chelsea's Back Line(09:56) - 1–0 | Saliba Scores from Saka Corner(12:47) - 1–1 | Rice Penalty Debate & Equaliser(15:50) - Zubimendi Performance Discussion(22:31) - Second-Half Patterns & Martinelli Impact(23:35) - 2–1 | Timber Heads Home from a Corner(25:35) - Neto Red Card & Game Control Issues(29:40) - Rice Injury & “Only Ever Scoring from Set Pieces”(31:06) - 7 Passes vs 53: Late-Game Surrender, Disallowed Goal & Mighty Raya(35:16) - Did Chelsea Deserve a Penalty?

Domination Derby: Arsenal Destroy Spurs 4-1 Away from Home as Eze Delivers, Raya Recovers and the Premier League Lead Returns to Five PointsArsenal respond in the only way that matters.After pressure built following Manchester City's win, the North London Derby became more than just another fixture — it became a test of control, intent and composure. And from the opening minutes, Arsenal delivered one of the most dominant performances ever seen at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.We break down the starting XI decisions, the absence of key names, and the early intensity that set the tone. The discussion then moves into the opening goal — Saka's persistence, Eze's sharp finish — and the familiar frustration of conceding immediately after taking the lead.There's an honest assessment of Declan Rice's error, David Raya's positioning, and whether Arsenal are gifting opponents moments rather than being broken down. But this episode isn't about collapse — it's about response.We analyse Raya's in-game recovery, Gyökeres' growing confidence in front of goal, and the structural adjustments that kept Arsenal on the front foot instead of retreating into caution. Timber's contribution, Mosquera's composure, and the subtle tactical shifts in midfield all come under the microscope.Eze's performance is given full attention — his decision-making, positioning, and the wider question of how Arteta has finally unlocked his best role. We also examine the ongoing Trossard debate and what Odegaard's return could mean ahead of Chelsea.The numbers tell their own story: territorial dominance, touches in the box, xG control. But the episode goes deeper than the stats — into mentality, game management, and the standards required in a title race.Part Two features the Matchweek 27 whip-around, where we assess Manchester City's narrow win, Liverpool's controversial late goal, Chelsea's dropped points, and the developing relegation battle. VARse returns with discussion on Forest, City, Palace and the automated offside debate.Arsenal restored the five-point lead.Now the question is whether they can sustain this level of control.Chelsea up next.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(00:51) - Line-Up Reaction & “Not North London” Display Debate(03:48) - Early Intent & Fast Start(08:18) - 0-1 | Eze Finishes After Saka's Work(10:46) - 1-1 | Rice Error & Raya Questioned(13:16) - The Longest Half-Time Ever(15:46) - Raya's Save & Regaining Composure(16:47) - 1-2 | Gyökeres Strikes With Authority(18:13) - Disallowed Spurs Goal & Gabriel Controversy(21:22) - 1-3 | Eze at the Double(22:20) - Raya Big Save & Redemption Moment?(24:01) - Saka Injury Concern(24:58) - 1-4 | Gyökeres Seals It Late(28:03) - Match Stats & Dominance Breakdown(31:52) - Trossard Debate & Tactical Adjustments(37:29) - Raya Form Discussion(45:42) - Eze Role Analysis & Arteta Comments(52:34) - PT.2 Whip Around the Grounds (MW27)(59:30) - VARse: Forest, City & Palace Decisions(01:10:56) - MW27 Title Race, UCL Qualification & Relegation Battle(01:18:55) - Closing Thoughts

Manchester City suffered another major setback in the title race after blowing a 2–0 lead against Tottenham on Sunday. With just one win in six in the Premier League, are City genuinely entering a crisis?After last week's damaging 3–2 defeat to Manchester United, Arsenal responded emphatically with a 4–0 win away at Leeds to go six points clear at the top. Mikel Arteta made a bold call by starting Kai Havertz over his captain Martin Odegaard after discourse over his form and creativity. Do Arsenal have an Odegaard problem?With nostalgia around 2016 trending, the boys rewind to the 2015–16 Premier League season, the year Leicester City shocked the football world, and ask: was this the greatest Premier League season ever?And ahead of Sunday's blockbuster Liverpool vs Manchester City, the panel builds an All-Time Liverpool & Man City Combined XI.

In this episode I'm joined by Kaya Kaynak to discuss a wide range of topics, starting with the EFL Cup draw and the potential of a two-legged semi-final against Chelsea if we win our quarter-final against Crystal Palace. How seriously should Arsenal take this competition? We look at both sides. Then there's discussion of the reaction to the Wolves game and what happens next, some focus on making our attack more effective, Odegaard and Eze playing together, and we answer some listener questions about Arsenal's injury issues, goalscoring and how it impacts the title race, some mid-season awards, a bit of Thierry Henry, and lots more.Eze t-shirt link - https://www.astorelike94.co.uk/products/dragon-ball-eze-draw-like-94-manga-t : Use code FINALPIECE for 10% offPatreon gift link - https://www.patreon.com/arseblog/giftGet extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.
