Chelsea HIJACK Arsenal Transfer! Ā£117m For Rogers šŸ¤Æ Saka & Rice MASTERCLASS for England!
We have a massive update on the transfer front, and it is not good news for Arsenal. Morgan Rogers has officially chosen Chelsea over us in a staggering Ā£117m deal. We break down exactly why he snubbed Arsenal, what this means for our transfer strategy moving forward, and whether Chelsea is massively overpaying. On the international stage, England provided absolute fireworks in a 6-4 thriller to win the World Cup Bronze match. After the disaster in the semis, our Arsenal boys absolutely ran the show. Bukayo Saka bagged a phenomenal hat-trick, and Declan Rice dropped a complete masterclass with a goal and an assist.

We have lots to talk about in today's episode.

Finally, we recap the World Cup Semi-Finals. We break down the absolute implosion from England as they crash out, contrasted with an absolute footballing masterclass from Spain as they dismantled France to book their spot in the final.

Trossardā€™s Arsenal Legacy | Epic England-Mexico Thriller + Brazil Lose To Norway
In today's podcast, we reflect on Leandro Trossardā€™s incredible Arsenal legacy following the breaking news that a deal has been agreed for his sale to Besiktas. From the moment he arrived, he proved to be one of the best-value signings in modern Arsenal historyā€”a clinical, reliable, and clutch operator under Mikel Arteta. We break down what his departure means for the squad structure moving forward. After the Arsenal chat, we dive into a truly epic couple of days at the World Cup. The knockout rounds are delivering pure chaos, and we review the massive drama from Brazil vs. Norway, France vs. Paraguay, and that absolute 3-2 thriller between England and Mexico that just concluded. Finally, we pull no punches on the absolute farce unfolding with Folarin Balogun. Getting a straight red card only to have the suspension mysteriously reversed by FIFA just in time for the USMNT to face Belgium is blatant political intervention and a total disgrace to the integrity of the World Cup. Let me know your thoughts in the comments: How will you remember Trossard's time in North London, and what is your take on the FIFA/Balogun scandal? #Arsenal #AFC #COYG #Trossard #WorldCup2026 #England #FolarinBalogun #PremierLeague ABOUT THE CHANNEL šŸ”“ Iā€™ve been an Arsenal fan since 1995.
