Summary
Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Miguel Delaney, Charlotte Duncker and Dan Kilpatrick to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.
We kick things off at the Emirates, where Arsenal’s 2–1 defeat to Bournemouth breathes new life into the title race. Is Miguel right to question Arteta’s fine-margin tactics as the finish line draws near?
Staying with the title race, are City starting to smell blood—and could a domestic treble be on the cards? Dan isn’t expecting a huge points tally from this season’s winners, but worries Arsenal are fading when it matters most.
Next, we head to The Masters, where Rory McIlroy is joint leader heading into the final day, despite a difficult Saturday. Riath Al-Samarrai joins us from Augusta, calling ‘moving day’ extraordinary and Cameron Young sensational—but could this be more than a two-horse race?
And finally, we dive into Roberto De Zerbi’s arrival at Spurs—does starting his reign in the relegation zone only increase the pressure? Dan says he’ll return to the show in full Arsenal kit if De Zerbi lasts his contract.

| 0:57.7 | Squeaky gun time is the headline in the mirror as Arsenal lose to Bournemouth breathing fresh life |
| 1:04.6 | into the title race. To the Telegraph who carry quotes from Mikhail Artetta who says the loss is like a punch in the face, |
| 1:12.6 | they also feature Rory McElroy's rollercoaster day at Augusta National. |
| 1:17.6 | He'll start the final round as co-leader. |

| 2:36.0 | Miguel, you were there. How damaging was that defeat for Arsenal? And what was the most worrying aspect do you think if you're an Arsenal fan? Well, I think there are many concerning elements. I mean, |
| 2:40.1 | talk about the most damaging. I think the biggest there actually is that there have been a few |
| 2:44.4 | occasions in 2026 when Arsenal have had the opportunity to press home at advantage and really |
