Pete and Jacob are back with the season now locked and loaded \u2014 Southampton in the FA Cup, Sporting Lisbon, Bournemouth, and then the Etihad. Six weeks that could define everything. This one sets the table beautifully.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what\u2019s inside:<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udd25 <\/span>Hottest of Takes<\/strong> \u2014 a small but potentially significant Martin Odegaard story catches Jacob\u2019s eye and raises a big question about Arsenal\u2019s direction next season<\/span><\/p>\n \u26bd <\/span>Victor Joelinton\u2019s Hat-Trick \u2014 Should We Care?<\/strong> \u2014 four goals, four shots. The Jockstraps are back. But Pete and Jacob ask the question that nobody wants to sit with: why does he get so few shots in the first place?<\/span><\/p>\n \ud83d\ude02 <\/span>De Zerbe to Spurs<\/strong> \u2014 the most combustible manager in European football, a five-year contract, eight games to save a relegation, and players who have already mentally booked their flights out of N17. Pete and Jacob absolutely relish every last second of it<\/span><\/p>\n \ud83d\udcb8 <\/span>The Summer Transfer Links<\/strong> \u2014 a Brazilian winger from Zenit Arsenal have apparently been linked to, and Goretzka at 31. The lads are not excited<\/span><\/p>\n \ud83c\udfa8 <\/span>Bootleg Football Advertising<\/strong> \u2014 a surprisingly joyful tangent about the greatest football ads ever made, from Joga Bonito to Ian Wright in the Parklife advert.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pete and Jacob are back with the season now locked and loaded \u2014 Southampton in the FA Cup, Sporting Lisbon, Bournemouth, and then the Etihad.
