Episode 3632: Arsenal End City, Rice Mines, Elliot Anderson Tax, The Bezos Era, Pats Dent Rovers

The Community Shield has never lied to us yet, so what exactly should we make of Arsenal 3-0 Manchester City?

Gavin Cooney is with us to say goodbye to Man City, and to crown Arsenal as back-to-back champions. Is Elliot Anderson worth 116 million quid, or is his now-teammate Erling Haaland correct? Martin Odegaard looks like he’s got his swagger back, and Declan Rice is back for another year in the salt-mines.

Plus there’s Capitalist Gaels, the Jeff Bezos era looms at Liverpool, and Cup specialists St Pats completing Rovers’ rough week.
