This week, Pedro is joined by Jacob Hawley and Johnny Cochrane for an early-bird therapy session packed with hot takes, transfer angst, and a sprinkle of schadenfreude. The lads gear up for Thursday’s iconic predictions episode — last year’s winner Johnny arrives smug and ready, Jacob’s sharpening his knives, and Pete’s quietly plotting an upset.

They dive deep into Arsenal’s transfer business, debating whether Eze or Rodrygo should be the final piece, how Berta’s sales game will define the summer, and if a shock Martinelli exit could unlock big moves. Spurs sniffing around Eze? It’s messy.

There’s also a detour into football’s murky underbelly — from Vitesse Arnhem’s Abramovich scandal to multi-club ownership, PSR loopholes, and why the Premier League keeps letting the big fish swim. Finally, a surprisingly heated chat on stutter-step penalties, who should take Arsenal’s spot-kicks, and why keepers might need to adapt.

Smart takes, big laughs, a bit of chaos — classic AOP.
