Arsenal Close in on Premier League Title While Playoff ‘Spygate’ Dominates Headlines

Posted on: 05/12/2026

Max Rushden is joined by Barry Glendenning, Robyn Cowen, and Philippe Auclair to break down a thrilling weekend of football action.

The panel focuses on Arsenal, now just two wins away from the Premier League title after a dramatic late VAR decision denied West Ham an injury-time equaliser. Was Pablo fouling David Raya? Were the Gunners fortunate, or did referee Chris Kavanagh get the season’s biggest VAR call right? The team debates whether Arsenal have been undone by their own set-piece tactics and questions just how many replays are too many.

Elsewhere, Manchester City kept the pressure on with a dominant 3-0 victory over Brentford, while Liverpool fans voiced their frustration by booing manager Arne Slot after another disappointing draw against Chelsea. Bournemouth continued their unlikely push for a Champions League spot, Brighton bounced back in emphatic fashion, and Tottenham kept their survival hopes alive ahead of a trip to Leeds.

The podcast also covers Celtic’s advantage in the Old Firm clash, the Championship playoff “Spygate 2.0” after Southampton were charged for alleged spying on opponents, Rochdale’s dramatic return to the EFL, the Women’s FA Cup semi-finals, and Philippe’s thoughts on the growing petition to “kick out Kylian Mbappé.”
