Arsenal are champions, but not the best

Tuchel's England Squad Selection

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is fast approaching, and Thomas Tuchel has finalized his England squad for the tournament. Frank and Eddie analyze some of his selections. Eddie explains that he understands that the inclusion of Henderson, Madueke, and Gordon shows that Tuchel wants a squad that fits his system, but will it work?  The Premier League season wrapped up with Arsenal as champions, Manchester City slipping up again, and Spurs narrowly avoiding relegation at the expense of West Ham. Roland Garros is underway in Paris, with some of the world's top players on both the ATP and WTA tours protesting prize money, but Eddie thinks they're being tone-deaf with some of their complaints.  Plus, Hull beat Middlesbrough in the Championship playoff final following the controversy of 'spygate'. The Enhanced Games failed to deliver many world records, and would you go out of your way to attend a championship parade?

Arsenal are champions, but not the best

Manchester City slipped up again and handed Arsenal their first Premier League title in 22 years, but Eddie is still adamant that they are not the best team in England. The relegation battle goes down to the final day of the season, and will Spurs do enough to stay ahead of West Ham and maintain their Premier League status? And the 'Spygate' punishment is in, should Middlesbrough feel very lucky to find themselves back in the Championship playoffs at the expense of Southampton?  Pep Guardiola's time at Manchester City has come to an end, with Enzo Maresca set to take charge at the Etihad, and Frank and Eddie look ahead to the next couple of seasons to predict who might be challenging for silverware over the next 5 years. Plus, Bevel tells Eddie his biological age, and Frank prepares for his biggest pickleball competition of the season.

Does Fox Sports really know football?

Eddie had a disappointing padel outing, but will Frank be able to cheer him up with the Fox Sports list of the 25 players that will define the 2026 FIFA World Cup? The EFL Championship playoffs have been thrown into disarray as Southampton find themselves in a very British Spygate scandal. Should Middlesbrough be reinstated? Will Hull win in a walkover? Or can Southampton survive the scandal? Plus, the NFL schedule has lined up some good holiday matchups, and more sports teams are following the example of Surrey County Cricket Club by encouraging remote work at their stadiums.

VARsenal

Arsenal moved one step closer to their first Premier League title in 20 years, but Eddie explains why he didn't like West Ham's equaliser being disallowed, even though it was a foul on David Raya. The 2026 FIFA World Cup is fast approaching, but with hotel occupancy levels well below normal, will things go smoothly in the US, Canada, and Mexico?  Plus, the Diana Rossini and Mike Vrabel scandal continues to escalate, should you swap seats on an airplane, and Eddie's latest YouTube rabbit hole.

Arsenal Riding High

Arsenal and PSG advanced to the Champions League final, although both Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich may feel they were on the wrong side of some controversial refereeing decisions. Manchester City's 3-3 draw with Everton has handed the advantage back to Arsenal in the Premier League title race, but Eddie thinks that there's a good chance that there will be more slip-ups in the final couple of weeks.  Frank decides to ragebait Eddie by bringing up Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt's addition to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And Eddie asks Frank about some complicated family dynamics and whether one should tip after receiving gambling winnings. Plus, early reactions to 'Widows Bay' and why Eddie is enjoying 'Rooster' more than he thought he would.
