ARSENAL ROBBED AT AWARDS! WHAT WENT WRONG?
Tuesday, October 27, 2026 • Duration 50:04
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.

🏆 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

LEEDS UNITED (H) | ON THE WHISTLE | 30 MINS FREE 🔓
This episode gives everyone 30 minutes of free content. The full show, with everything below, is for members only.

⭐ Noni Madueke delivers a superstar performance
🎯 The forwards are not banging, so what is going on up top?
😶 Bukayo Saka has a "meh" outing
🛡️ The defence is rattled for the second game in a row, so what is up?
😈 Bruno Guimarães, our b*stard!
