Two games to go. One Champions League final. The stars are aligning. Here's what's inside: πŸ”₯ Hottest of Takes β€” Jacob makes the tactical case for giving the captain back his place in the starting XI, and he's got a midfield combination in mind that could unlock everything going into the final. Pete's take on PGMOL will divide opinion β€” he thinks they deserve more credit than they're getting. Jacob respectfully pushes back πŸ‘• The Shirt Guy β€” someone rocked up near West Ham with "Champions" printed on an Arsenal shirt. Pete and Jacob aren't buying it. Not the shirt, not the story, not the source πŸ—“οΈ The Title Could Be Won On Tuesday Night β€” Bournemouth vs City. Pete maps out exactly when and how Arsenal could be crowned champions before they even kick a ball. He wants everyone in the pub βš”οΈ Myles vs GyΓΆkeres β€” The Selling Debate β€” two players whose form has picked up at the right time. Jacob makes a distinction that cuts right to the heart of what kind of summer Arsenal need to have 🧱 Gabriel β€” The Numbers β€” Pete pulls up data on blocks, clearances and percentiles that puts Gabriel's season into a completely different context. Jacob compares him to the Adams and Bould era and means it as the highest possible compliment πŸŽ‚ 1,000 Episodes β€” it slipped in at the end but it deserves to be said: AOP has hit a thousand podcasts.
