🎧 180 | Three Games to the Title — West Ham Next

From Budapest Buzz to West Ham Away: Arsenal Reset for the Final Push

Arsenal are Champions League finalists and Episode 180 opens with Tabs still riding the high of Tuesday night’s historic win over Atlético Madrid. But with three Premier League games left and the title now officially in Arsenal’s hands, the focus has to snap back to West Ham away.

Tabs reflects on the euphoria of reaching the Champions League final, securing a ticket to Budapest, and the surreal feeling of watching Arsenal return to Europe’s biggest stage after 20 years. But the job isn’t done. Not even close.

Tabs is joined by Jamie to break down the emotional comedown after Atleti, the title‑race reset after City’s draw at Everton, and how Arsenal’s mindset shifts from celebration to cold, ruthless focus. They discuss West Ham’s deceptive form, the “three games, three wins, champions” equation, and the tactical questions facing Arteta ahead of Sunday.

Then Tabs speaks with West Ham fan Adam Leatherbarrow (Dads Our Job TV) for a full opposition perspective, what’s gone wrong for West Ham, what’s gone right recently, how they view Arsenal, and what they expect from the match at the London Stadium.

This episode covers:

• the lingering joy of reaching the Champions League final

• how the Atleti win affects Arsenal’s mentality

• City’s slip at Everton and the title‑race reset

• West Ham’s form, motivation and survival fight

• whether Arteta sticks with the Fulham/Atleti XI

• Declan Rice returning to West Ham with everything on the line

• why this feels like a penalty shootout where City have already hit the post

• and why Arsenal must now go blow‑for‑blow until the finish

Arsenal are in a Champions League final. Arsenal are top of the league. Arsenal control their destiny.

Now it’s West Ham, Burnley, Palace — and the chance to make history.
