ON THE WHISTLE | LEAGUE CUP SEMI | CHELSEA (A) | MEMBERS

After a thrilling 3-2 win over Chelsea in the League Cup semi-final, the boys cap off a great night at Stamford Bridge. It was a match where the ‘propaganda machine’ finally got some fuel when Viktor Gyökeres (‘Big Vic’) stepped up with a goal and an assist – but is this the turning point for the striker, or just a flash in the pan?

In this episode we discuss:

• The Big Vic debate: Gyökeres delivers a “big boy performance” when it matters most. We analyze his fox-in-the-box goal, his first assist for the club and whether he can kick on from here.

• Defensive dominance: William Saliba put on a ‘Rolls Royce’ display with midfield distribution, while Benny Blanco brought the goals – and the shithouse – back to the right flank.

• Magic in midfield: Martin Zubimendi led the show, scoring a screamer and winning the hearts of the fanbase by joining Enzo Fernández at the final whistle.

• The goalkeeper’s dilemma: A mixed bag for Kepa Arrizabalaga shows just how integral David Raya is to Arsenal’s trophy hopes. Should Kepa keep his place for the second leg?

• Hottest recordings: From Saka’s ‘quiet’ genius to bold predictions about winning the league and beating Man City.

Plus, we’re looking ahead to the second leg at the Emirates and the upcoming clash with Nottingham Forest. Thank you for being a member!
