rom stadium blueprints to dressing room balance — this week’s conversation ties it all together.
The lads break down Arsenal’s ambitious Emirates expansion plans, exploring how the project could reshape matchday atmosphere, commercial growth, and the club’s long-term identity.
They revisit lessons from the original Highbury move, debate whether a temporary switch to Wembley could derail momentum, and examine how the board’s real estate reshuffle signals a more strategic era under the Kroenkes.
Then it’s onto squad management, with fresh deals for Raya and Trossard, Leo’s summer comments, and the balance between loyalty and evolution.
Finally, the crew tackle Paul Scholes’ wild Rice take, assess Big Vic’s slow start, and ask the big question: how long can Arsenal maintain rhythm without Ødegaard?
