THERAPY SESSION | CAN'T SELL ODEGAARD + RETHINK ON ATLETI

Pete and Jacob reconvene the morning after the Metropolitano and the mood — despite everything — is genuinely electric. A 1-1. Players returning. Atletico coming to the Emirates. And a week that could define the season. Here's what's inside: 🔥 Hottest of Takes — Jacob slept on the VAR decision, woke up, watched it back and gave himself a slap. His take on what Arsenal's war scars mean heading into a potential final is one of the best of the season. Pete's take involves Arteta sending a message to the next set of referees — and why it might be the smartest thing he's done all year 😤 The Pitch, The Penalty, The Fury — the grass story, the watering, the Ben White handball. Pete and Jacob go through everything Atletico did to tilt the playing field and ask whether the Emirates reverse leg looks very different now 🏆 Are We Good Enough To Win This? — a brilliant conversation about why Arsenal look like a different team in Europe, why PSG and Bayern's pretty football doesn't frighten either of them, and why the rest of the continent has started looking at Arsenal as the template 🌟 Saliba — Player Of The Season? — Jacob makes the case and Pete struggles to argue with it. An extraordinary player who doesn't get nearly enough credit 💸 Andrea Berta In Turkey — what's he actually doing out there? Buying or selling? The Saudi money drying up, the age profile concern, and why Jacob wants nothing to do with Osimhen 🧒 Ethan, Miles and Killing Your Darlings — a frank conversation about the academy boys, who stays and who goes, and why Max Dowman and Marley Salmon might matter more than either of them next season Subscribe at patreon.com/theArsenalOpinion for ad-free episodes and support the show.
