Episode 2565: Arsenal Crack, Pep’s Boy Grealo, Chelsea’s Speed Wobbles

Arsenal took 50 points from their first 19 games, and one point from their last three: Manchester City have put the pressure on, and last night Arsenal cracked.

Jack Grealish said he thought Arsenal were the better side, but his opinion is not shared by many on today’s pod.

Jonathan Wilson and John Brewin join us to discuss last night’s football. What made the difference for City last night? Is it too early to call the 22-23 title race? And do they share Ken’s childlike excitement watching all these brilliant Chelsea players try to figure out how they are supposed to play together?
