Ep 3632: Arsenal End City, Rice Mines, Elliot Anderson Tax, The Bezos Era, Pats Dent Rovers - 17/08/26
About this episode
The Community Shield has never lied to us yet, so what exactly should we make of Arsenal 3-0 Manchester City?
Gavin Cooney is with us to say goodbye to Man City, and to crown Arsenal as back-to-back champions. Is Elliot Anderson worth 116 million quid, or is his now-teammate Erling Haaland correct? Martin Odegaard looks like he's got his swagger back, and Declan Rice is back for another year in the salt-mines.
Plus there's Capitalist Gaels, the Jeff Bezos era looms at Liverpool, and Cup specialists St Pats completing Rovers' rough week.
