This week The Team is joined by longtime Friend of the Show Samson as we discuss Arsenal beating Chelsea in game of the weekend.

Another prime time 4:30 kick off for Arsenal vs Chelsea and granted it wasn’t an instant classic as neither team played to the very best of their abilities, the game was decided by three set piece goals to have the neutrals crying about the state of the game (WE DON’T CARE CRY MORE!)

Despite the attacking struggles and lack of genuine champagne football on offer this ended up being a routine win for Arteta against Chelsea, he’s unbeaten in 11 against The Blues and unbeaten in 5 years at home against them as well! Chelsea must be sick of the sight of Arsenal now after enjoying a period of dominance in the mid 2000s the tide has turned back to early Wenger days!

Elsewhere, Manchester United kept up their fine form under Michael Carrick to go third in the table with a win over Crystal Palace. Can United end the Season in a Champions League spot and if so does Michael Carrick get the job as the permanent United Manager?

This week the Team discuss Arsenal’s emphatic 4-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur in the 199th North London Derby in major Competition.

It was the Eze & Gyokeres show, the much maligned summer signings scored a brace each as they helped Arsenal run riot all over the hapless Spurs. Arsenal showed a ruthlessness that had been missing for a couple of weeks and this victory helps keep their title aspirations on track, whilst Spurs seem hellbent on relegation this season!

Manchester beat Newcastle in the late fixture on Saturday, it wasn’t a vintage performance by any means but that win keeps the pressure on Arsenal as City look to win their 7th Prem in 9 seasons, do they have enough to pip Arsenal to the post again?

Last week the dark side of football reared its ugly head again as Real Madrid’s Vini Jr was the subject of racial abuse by Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni. To make matters worse Benfica head coach Jose Mourinho decided to back his player and lay blame at Vini Jr for the overtop celebrations! We discuss what needs to change in Football and society as Racism has no place in either, especially in 2026.

This week the Team are joined by guest Kai as we discuss Sunday’s heavyweight clash between Liverpool and Manchester City, for over half a decade this was the premier fixture in the League as both sides battled to win the League outright. This match the stakes were high for only one side though, Man City and they got what they came for in dramatic fashion. They managed to do the League double over Liverpool for the first in 90 years and keep their hopes alive.

League leaders Arsenal took care of business at home against a dogged Sunderland side who have been the surprise outfit of the Season, much maligned Striker Gyokeres got a brace off the bench to seal the victory. With the most goals scored in 2026 has he finally found his confidence in front of goal?

Manchester United beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 over the weekend in the early kickoff, their job was made easier by the stupid sending off of Spurs Captain Cristian Romero! With 4 wins a row, Carrick is restoring the feeling for Manchester United fans and surely with this good an audition he must have one hand on the job permanently?
