Tottenham Top 4?! Max Dowman Arsenal Savior & Bruno OUT


Listen Later

Rodney drops a bold new prediction: Tottenham will finish top 4 under Thomas Frank. He lays out why Spurs’ defense, midfield balance, and Thomas Frank’s tactical approach make them a real contender this season. Brad fires back with his latest obsession, insisting 15-year-old Max Dowman is already Arsenal’s most dangerous young talent — even putting him in the same breath as Lamine Yamal — while Chuck nearly loses it trying to shut the agenda down.The crew also break down Viktor Gyökeres’ underwhelming performance against Leeds, debating whether Arsenal fans are falling for a striker who only scores against weaker opposition. At Manchester United, the conversation shifts to Bruno Fernandes — should the club cash in if Saudi money comes calling, or is Ruben Amorim misusing him in midfield? That sparks a deeper look at Ruben’s tactics, why the current formation may be setting players up to fail, and whether he’s already under pressure just weeks into the season.Later, the pod turns to Nottingham Forest’s soap opera: Evangelos Marinakis, Edu, and Nuno Santo caught in a power struggle that could derail a team about to return to European competition for the first time in 25 years. Finally, the guys preview Arsenal vs Liverpool — with Saka’s hamstring injury raising huge questions, Eberechi Eze’s role under debate, and Brad once again lobbying for Dowman to start.From Spurs’ resurgence to Arsenal’s growing pains to United’s midfield crisis, this episode is packed with predictions, agendas, and plenty of actual football insight.⏱ Timecodes0:00 – Intro0:23 – Rodney declares Tottenham WILL finish top 40:46 – Is Thomas Frank the best manager in the Prem?1:27 – Spurs defense & Jed Spence hype2:33 – Do Spurs have enough squad depth?3:24 – Are Tottenham better than Man City right now?4:17 – Brad & Rodney bet $100 on Spurs vs City finish5:22 – Arsenal fans overhyping Viktor Gyökeres?6:10 – Gyökeres’ Leeds performance under the microscope7:33 – Should Max Dowman start for Arsenal already?8:50 – Dowman vs Lamine Yamal debate gets heated10:52 – Brad bookmarks the Dowman agenda forever11:20 – Chuck flips on Bruno & Ruben at Man United12:12 – Should United cash out on Bruno to Saudi?13:25 – Chuck vs Brad: Is Bruno washed or misused?16:07 – Ruben Amorim under pressure already?18:21 – Could Ruben be sacked by February?19:26 – Pressure at Manchester United vs Chelsea19:57 – Arsenal vs Liverpool preview & predictions21:16 – Can Arsenal exploit Liverpool’s set-piece weakness?22:55 – Where should Eze actually play for Arsenal?23:56 – Brad pushes Dowman for the starting XI vs Liverpool25:25 – Chuck & Rodney clown Brad’s Dowman obsession26:00 – Nottingham Forest chaos: Marinakis & Edu drama28:26 – Did Nuno Santo deserve more respect?30:51 – Should Arsenal fans be worried about Saka’s hamstring?33:14 – Arsenal bar plans & Tottenham still undefeated?34:20 – Rodney admits Ainge “sold him a used car” at Spurs35:26 – Outro: Fried Footie signs off
