We talk about the American players in the league, who will have the best season? Will the World Cup create more Arsenal fans? The last half of the show is spent on predictions for the season. That’s right, we made our predictions and we plan to tally things up after the 26/27 season is over to see who did the best job. We created a scoring system and everything.

  S3E146 Girona Review and Silly Season 03.08.2026 1t 12min

  Stateside Gooners review the preseason friendly with Catalonian club Girona FC and then talk transfers in and out.Stateside GoonersAug 02, 2026The transfer window is open, and if you follow Arsenal on your phone, the club is apparently signing about forty players a day. Almost none of it is true. Some of it is. This week we sort it out.We break the entire summer rumour mill into three tiers. The deals that are essentially done, the ones with real interest but a real wall in front of them, and the ones that somebody invented for clicks.If you are American and you have no idea which of these outlets to trust, this is the episode for you. We name our sources, we tell you which tier they sit in, and we tell you what you can trust.Plus, we get into the 4-1 pre-season win over Girona. Max Dowman was the story of the night, a sixteen year old who produced both a goal and an assist and was at the heart of everything Arsenal did well, including a turn and through ball for the opener that was the best moment of the match. And new signing Christos Tzolis marked his debut with a goal, showing exactly the tenacity and technical quality that has fans wondering if he might turn out to be the bargain of the window.New episodes Sunday and Wednesday nights.
