The Factor 50 podcast are pumped for our trip to go and watch Southampton Vs Charlton next month.

But let's just say we've got a bit of history with travel plans going wrong...

Here's a short story from the last time we went to watch football, at Coventry against Stoke in 2022.

World class defence.

Bitterly disappointing attack.

We can't keep failing to put teams to the sword (4 big chances missed today).

Another missed opportunity.

Is Multi-club ownership really good for football?

We think it's one of the biggest problems in the modern game!

How is it allowed, the conflict of interest is ridiculous, and just gives owners opportunities to exploit loopholes and take more money out of clubs!

Come on Arsenal, make this a really really fun day!
January 17, 2026 at 5:25 PM
The cycle continues:

Carrick scratches his way to 5th and CL qualification

Given the job fulltime

Spends £250mil in the summer

9th by Christmas

Sacked

Hire Ole on an interim basis

I feel dirty hoping for any United victory, but here we are.

⚽Danny Welbeck for England? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👀

Is it ridiculous, or does he have a chance of making the world cup squad?

And if it's not him, who are we taking to back up Harry Kane?

Let's hear your thoughts in the comments! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Is Viktor Gyokores going to come good at Arsenal?

Pre-Chelsea match, we discussed his current form and how the fans feel about his performances.

Vs Chelsea he showed he's got the ability to lead the line for Arsenal.

But can he do it consistently?

How are United fans feeling with the interim appointment of Michael Carrick?

Here's our thoughts on the appointment, and the job he's got on his hands over the next few weeks!

Let's see how he gets on...

Shame it's only one but if you win the away leg of a 2 legged semi, it's a good result.

Could have been many more though.

I hope Chelsea play like that at the Emirates.

Tie should be over between those two chances for Merino and Gabriel from the resulting corner.

Good save from Sanchez on Merino, but Gabriel should be hitting the target with that header with his aerial talent.
January 14, 2026 at 9:38 PM
Big goal! Gives us some space.

And an assist for Gyokores. Confidence is a funny old thing.
January 14, 2026 at 9:31 PM
Did we just score from a fast throw in?

Move over Nico, there's a new Dawg in town.
January 14, 2026 at 9:10 PM
Lovely assist from Sanchez!

Great work by Saka and White down the right, and just what big Vik needed.
January 14, 2026 at 9:08 PM
Another set piece goal gives us the lead in the tie. Delighted for Ben White too.

Feels like with a bit more sharpness in the final third it could have been 2 or 3.

Set piece again etc etc....

Strong lineup! I'd have liked to see MLS given the game at LB but understand taking the pressure off him a bit by playing Timber there.

Let's get rid of this terrible semi-final record shall we?
January 14, 2026 at 7:47 PM
How are we feeling about the Liverpool draw now Arsenal fans?

Personally I thought it was a big opportunity missed to make a statement.

United fans should be glad that they're out of the FA cup.

It was a distraction from finishing in the top 17.

Rotated heavily and got through (relatively) stress free.

So job done in that respect.
January 11, 2026 at 3:53 PM
Odegaard has spent his entire time on the ball just trying to find Kai Havertz.
January 11, 2026 at 3:53 PM
The depth of this squad is frightening, if we can stay injury free enough to demonstrate it.
January 11, 2026 at 3:43 PM
First hattrick for Gabi Martinelli, happy for him!
