About this episode

Rog and Rory recap a dramatic football weekend highlighting Arsenal's rise, the FA Cup Final, and Spurs' first win of 2026.

Rog and Rory recap a dramatic football weekend as Eberechi Eze’s stunner sends Arsenal top of the table—for now. Manchester City and Chelsea advance to a less-than-desirable FA Cup Final, leaving Rory still dreaming of a Leeds–Southampton showdown. Could Mohamed Salah limping off signal his final game in red? Plus, Spurs finally win in 2026! Their reward? Remaining in the relegation zone. Finally, Rog and Rory dig deep into the origins of the term “bottling.” Come see Men in Blazers LIVE in Philadelphia on May 12th!
