The Real Arsenal Deal

Trossard’s Arsenal Legacy | Epic England-Mexico Thriller + Brazil Lose To Norway

In today's podcast, we reflect on Leandro Trossard’s incredible Arsenal legacy following the breaking news that a deal has been agreed for his sale to Besiktas. From the moment he arrived, he proved to be one of the best-value signings in modern Arsenal history—a clinical, reliable, and clutch operator under Mikel Arteta. We break down what his departure means for the squad structure moving forward. After the Arsenal chat, we dive into a truly epic couple of days at the World Cup. The knockout rounds are delivering pure chaos, and we review the massive drama from Brazil vs. Norway, France vs. Paraguay, and that absolute 3-2 thriller between England and Mexico that just concluded. Finally, we pull no punches on the absolute farce unfolding with Folarin Balogun. Getting a straight red card only to have the suspension mysteriously reversed by FIFA just in time for the USMNT to face Belgium is blatant political intervention and a total disgrace to the integrity of the World Cup. Let me know your thoughts in the comments: How will you remember Trossard's time in North London, and what is your take on the FIFA/Balogun scandal? #Arsenal #AFC #COYG #Trossard #WorldCup2026 #England #FolarinBalogun #PremierLeague ABOUT THE CHANNEL 🔴 I’ve been an Arsenal fan since 1995.
