Taa Trent: Salt is one of my Favorite Flavors S6 Everyone 37

Welcome dear listener to the podcast of the 2024-25 Premier League Champions. I’m Paul and I am joined by Sean and Daz. We will review last weekend’s Arsenal game, and continue to reflect on a 20th top flight title. Obviously we will touch on the Trent situation. We will look ahead to the Brighton match and we’ll be looking around at what’s happening elsewhere.

Part One - Arsenal at home - xG 1.92 to 0.58 in the first half

• First half, Reds are generally magnificent

• Salah, Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo - well that was fun

• Second half - it was warm, Arsenal appeared to be beaten

• We just didn’t look the same team

• And then the booing started and the game and the whole future narrative about the game changes

• All Mikels are forever shady - ‘unscrupulous and fraudulent’

• Booing Thomas Partey

Part Two - ‘Brand Trent’, the crowd and the impact on the game - 1.99 xG conceded in the second half

• Suggestion that it was led by younger fans on the Kop

• ‘I don’t support the booing but he deserved it’

• Other issues that I’ve heard from Scousers who were upset

• ‘The ear cupping’

• The AI generated goodbye message

• You are leaving us:

• you’ve used the Scouser in our Team stuff to support your brand

• ‘Just a normal lad from Liverpool’

Part Three - 2 games left. 

• Mo Salah - FWA Player of the Year

• Brighton away on a Monday night. Nice opportunity for a beer with some friends?

• Signings - Frimpong and Kerkez seem to be high on the list. Not so much Huisen.

• Xabi Alonso, also going (back) to Franco’s boys:

We will be back after the Brighton game. Thanks to Daz and Sean for joining me, Paul. And most of all, thank you dear listener for joining us. Might need to record the night of to get it done.
