Arsenal Limping Towards the Title

About this episode

The episode discusses Arsenal's potential Premier League title win, Manchester City's recent slip, Chelsea's financial troubles, and various sports events including the World Baseball Classic and AFCON 2025.

Frank’s trip to Colorado was severely delayed by snow, but neither he nor Eddie get why travelers take out their frustrations on airport staff. Manchester City slipped up again, and it looks like Arsenal will win their first Premier League title in 23 years, even if they’re failing to entertain in the process. Meanwhile, Chelsea look to be in some trouble as a result of financial irregularities, and Morocco have won AFCON 2025 on appeal. Venezuela upset the USA in the final of the World Baseball Classic, but the USA players upset Eddie even more by wearing game-worn USA hockey jerseys to the final. Plus, neither Eddie nor Frank quite gets the hype surrounding ’Marty Supreme’ or ’One Battle After Another’.
