    THURSDAY THERAPY: SEASON OVER?
    Feb 27 2025
    🎙️ Hosts: Matt Kandela & Jacob Hawley 🔴 No Pedro, Just Pain Another Thursday, another therapy session – and this one’s needed. The vibes have swung from title talk to trauma in a week, and we’re trying to make sense of it all. 🔥 This week’s agenda: Mood swings & misery – from hope to despair in 7 days Liverpool cruising, Arsenal snoozing – how did we let this slip? Midfield meltdown – Rice, Odegaard, and the missing chemistry No No.9, No Party – the January transfer failure that’s killing us Calafiori conundrum – luxury player or misfit? Odegaard’s ghost season – where’s our captain gone? ⚡ Can we salvage this season? Can Mikel learn from his mistakes? We try (and probably fail) to find some positivity in this week's AOP Thursday Therapy session.

    🚨 EMERGENCY AOP POD 🚨: HAVERTZ INJURY CHAOS + LIVERPOOL SLOT ROT?!
    Feb 13 2025
    This one is spicy. Arsenal’s season took a gut punch with the news that Kai Havertz is out—INJURED IN A HIGH-PRESSING DRILL while the lads were supposed to be resting in Dubai. We break down what that means for the next run of games and whether Arteta’s training methods are running players into the ground. BUT… the football gods gave us a lifeline. Liverpool dropped points in brutal fashion against Everton, and suddenly the title race is back on. We talk: 🔥 The slot rot—is Liverpool about to unravel? 🔥 Man City lurking—can Pep’s side deliver a knockout blow? 🔥 Arsenal’s path—can we survive without a forward line? 🔥 The Pogmol conspiracy—was Michael Oliver on a mission? It’s all here, full of high-t takes and a little bit of existential dread. Tap in. 🎧 🔗 Patreon: patreon.com/thearsenalopinion 📩 Le Grove Newsletter: le-grove.co.uk Learn more about your ad choices.
