Is it merited? 🤦‍♂️ The Martinelli nonsense 🏆 Managing the Cup experience 🎯 Who takes over as the 9 in the short term It’s a big one. Get stuck in.

The Dugout is back for 2026! Jim Campbell from the Football Ramble returns to shake off the New Year's haze (and the Villa celebration hangovers) for a jam-packed episode. We’re looking past the "brain farts" on the South Coast and focusing on the flex. From transfer window headaches to the comedy show at Old Trafford, we’re covering it all. On the menu this week: The Havertz Reboot: He’s back, but will the team click or clunk with him back in the side? Nwaneri’s Dilemma: Do we stick, twist, or cash in on the teenage sensation while his stock is high? The Bournemouth Flex: Why a defensive howler didn't stop us from looking like Champions. The United Heist: Ruben Amorim’s "lottery win" photo and the search for a manager brave (or crazy) enough to take the reins. City’s Wobble: Are the juggernauts finally looking human without their Belgian King? Liverpool Looming: Why we’re ready to welcome the Reds (and why the fear factor might be gone). Plus, giving Trossard his flowers, the Eze debate, and some spicy score predictions. Tune in, get comfortable, and let's get into it. Ciao for now! 👋🔴⚪️ Newsletter + Audio: https://www.le-grove.co.uk/ Audio: https://www.patreon.com/c/TheArsenalOpinion Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Take a listen to the AOP Live Show 2025. The boys took over the Park Theatre at Finsbury Park and delivered an AOP On The Whistle like no other. We had Pedro, Jacob, Matt, and Johnny... and added Arsenal Legend Ray Parlour to the mixer as a special guest. We also closed out the show with a song from Dugout regulars, The Manor.
