Dalu and AK Haruna break down a chaotic weekend of football. Chelsea’s collapse gets a full post-mortem—boardroom chaos, poor recruitment, and players not stepping up. Then it’s over to the title race, where Doku goes full demon mode but Everton still snatch a huge result, putting Arsenal firmly in control.
The boys also debate whether this Arsenal side finally has the mentality to deliver, before diving into Champions League predictions—can Arsenal handle Atletico’s dark arts, and will Bayern or PSG come out on top?
Banter, pain, and bold predictions—this one hits everything.
