Show Notes
Pedro is joined by Jacob Hawley for an early week debrief, fuming at a Ballon d’Or ceremony that barely noticed Arsenal. The Hottest Takes ask what the snubs really say about this team, and why a side this good is not firing more shots.
🔥 Hottest Takes: The Ballon d’Or proves the system and Arteta are the real stars, plus why do Arsenal win so much with so few shots? 🏆 Harry Kane wins the Ballon d’Or, Saliba and Raya get snubbed, and the Premier League is penalised for being hard 🧩 Arteta has a type of full-back and centre-back, so why no type of striker? 🚪 Zubimendi falls out of favour, and why a January sale makes sense 🔴 Man United in meltdown: Carrick, Bruno, Martinez and a dressing room nobody can fix 🟨 Arteta’s technical area troubles and why referees never seem to cut him any slack 🏟️ Fleetwood at Highbury, a Gyökeres and Merino debate, and score predictions
