Pete and Johnny. The season is days away. The window is still open. And there’s a lot to get through before the Community Shield.
Here’s what’s inside:
🔥 Hottest of Takes — Johnny’s take is about Max Dowman becoming Arsenal’s number ten hub — and it’s more profound than it first sounds. The Henri right wing comparison, the contrast with Ethan, and why this might be the most important positional evolution at the club in years. Pete has received ITK intel from training camp that he can’t fully verify and absolutely cannot stop talking about
👶 Max Dowman — Number Ten In The Making? — Johnny makes the case that what we saw at Girona wasn’t a winger doing winger things — it was a playmaker finding his natural home. Pete and Johnny debate whether this changes the Ethan calculus permanently
🏥 Kroupi — Buy Or Walk? — Johnny goes all-in on the Frenchman.
📊 Zubimendi — The Quiet Theory — Pete has a theory about where Zubimendi fits this season that nobody is talking about. It involves Bruno, Rice, and what happens when the full squad is finally fit at the same time
🏆 The Title Race — Who’s Actually Coming For Us? — Man City without Rodri and Bernardo, Chelsea in transition, Liverpool finding their feet. Pete and Johnny go through every rival and land somewhere optimistic — with one significant caveat about United that Pete refuses to take seriously
