THE DUGOUT | KEVIN LEE KHARAS OF REAL LIES (EARLY BIRD)

Jacob is joined by Kevin Lee Kharas (@kevkharas), lead singer of Real Lies and devoted Arsenal fan, for a wide-ranging conversation that blends music, football, and the madness of modern fandom. From his surreal day filming content with Myles Lewis-Skelly and watching Piero Hincapié model Christmas knitwear, Kevin dives into why he sees Mikel Arteta as building nothing less than a dynasty. The two discuss the cult-like intensity of Arsenal players, the tactical evolution under Arteta, and why football podcasts might just be the most powerful addiction in modern Britain. Expect hot takes on the “Fat Man” Viktor Gyökeres, Martinelli’s role as an impact sub, Eze’s best position, and how Arsenal’s defence could be the foundation for turning 1–0s into fours and fives. They also look ahead to the huge clash against Manchester City at the Emirates. It’s equal parts serious analysis, off-beat humour, and a reminder of why Arsenal remains one of the most romantic clubs in world football Follow Kev Kharas on Twitter!
