E213: Crystal Palace (A) — Final Day, Arsenal Prepare for Trophy Lift Day at Selhurst Park (Match Preview)

One more game. One more moment. One more trophy lift.Arsenal head into the final Premier League game of the season with the title already secured and a first league crown in twenty-two years confirmed. Before attention shifts elsewhere, this episode stays firmly in the present and looks ahead to one final league outing away at Crystal Palace — and everything that comes with trophy lift day.  The conversation opens with the season’s final round of Who Am I? before moving into the wider Premier League picture and a final set of prediction calls. Liverpool’s closing-day atmosphere, the noise surrounding Arne Slot, Brentford’s season, and the tension surrounding Tottenham and West Ham all feature as the hosts reflect on how strange final-day football can become when scoreboards start to matter as much as the pitch.  There is also a special Six Pack celebrating six iconic Arsenal trophy lifts — from Patrick Vieira and the Invincibles to Tony Adams, Wembley memories and the anticipation of Martin Ødegaard preparing to lift the Premier League trophy. A reflection on moments that helped define eras and what this title means in the wider story of Arsenal Football Club.  Then attention turns to Selhurst Park. The hosts discuss whether Mikel Arteta should prioritise rhythm or rotation, balancing a final Premier League performance with what comes next. There is conversation around team news, the freedom that comes with pressure removed, Arsenal’s defensive discipline this season, and whether lifting the title changes how this team plays.  The episode closes with reflections on players who have carried Arsenal through different eras, what this title means emotionally, and who the hosts are most looking forward to seeing lift the trophy when the moment finally arrives.  Champions of England. One final league game remains.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta’s Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:18) - Show Setup & Final Day Preview(01:56) - Who Am I?
