In this Dugout edition of The Arsenal Opinion Podcast, Jacob Hawley takes the hosting seat and welcomes Jack Pitt-Brooke of The Athletic for a deep dive into the North London Derby build-up.
Across a lively and insightful conversation, they explore:
<ul>
 <li>
Tottenham through the eyes of someone who covers them, not supports them, striking the perfect balance for Arsenal listeners.
</li>
 <li>
How international breaks shape narratives, coaching trends, and fan expectations, including the role of throw-ins, set pieces, and Premier League punditry.
</li>
 <li>
Why international football may actually feel more expressive than club football right now.
</li>
 <li>
The shift from superstar match-winners to tactical systems in the modern Premier League.
</li>
 <li>
A spicy segment on Declan Rice’s best role, as Jack delivers his Hottest of Takes.
</li>
 <li>
A measured, slightly worried look at Arsenal’s injury-stricken attack heading into the Derby.
</li>
 <li>
And finally, Jack’s score prediction, which tries (and fails) to keep Spurs fans optimistic.
</li>
</ul>
This one blends tactics, narrative, nostalgia, and Derby-day tension. A perfect warm-up for the weekend.
