In this episode I'm joined by Philippe Auclair to chat about some more end of season Arsenal stuff, reaction to the Champions League final in terms of how both teams are perceived in football style terms but without sufficient context, before we discuss the upcoming World Cup which starts today. There's focus on Gianni Infantino and the way he has made FIFA his own personal fiefdom, building power and influence, but being too cowardly to use it when his own people need it. There are some wider thoughts on the tournament as a whole, a little more Arsenal stuff at the end, a chance to win a cool celebration photo book, and more.Here's the photo-zine mentioned in the competition – https://lowerblock.com/product/arsenal-champions-again-2025-26/Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

Retour sur ces deux cas.Manchester United a bouclé sur une bonne note, dimanche, une saison absolument catastrophique. Sportivement, tout est à jeter. Economiquement, tout est à repenser. Philippe Auclair nous éclaire sur la situation inquiétante des Red Devils.Alors qu'on lui promettait un transfert au Bayern Munich cet été, Florian Wirtz serait désormais proche de rejoindre la Premier League et Liverpool.

Au programme de Tour d'Europe cette semaine, Cyril Morin vous fait passer de la France à l'Italie en passant par l'Angleterre et l'Espagne.En Ligue 1 d'abord, avec un point bilan aux côtés d'Elton Mokolo pour parler de la 38e et dernière journée de Ligue 1 et Nice qui a finalement décroché la 4e place du championnat pour assurer le tour préliminaire de la Ligue des champions la saison prochaine. (02:30)Au menu également, la relégation de Saint-Etienne en Ligue 2 la saison suivant sa remontée, mais aussi le barrage L1/L2 qui va opposer Reims à Metz (05:30). Et puis honneur au champion le PSG, qui terminé sa saison de L1 sur une victoire contre Auxerre avant de préparer ses deux finales en Coupe de France contre Reims et en Ligue des champions contre l'Inter Milan. Ousmane Dembélé a terminé avec le titre de meilleur buteur de L1 : que cela signifie-t-il pour le mercato à venir du club ? (08:00)On ira ensuite en Espagne retrouver un autre champion : le FC Barcelone avec cette question : quel effectif pour la saison prochaine ? Nous poserons la question à Anna Carreau, spécialiste de la Liga. (12:50)Direction Italie ensuite pour parler du multiplex incroyable lors de la 37e journée de Serie A et l'Inter qui a peut-être vu son rêve de Scudetto lui fier entre les doigts.

(29:00)Nous terminerons ce Tour d'Europe en Angleterre avec Philippe Auclair qui nous parlera du titre de Crystal Palace en FA Cup face à Manchester City (38:00), puis de cette finale de Ligue Europa improbable entre Manchester United et Tottenham, respectivement 16e et 17e de Premier League.
