The Dressing Room

Are Arsenal Wobbling, What’s next for Slot and What happens when players and managers fall out?

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Wayne (and his dad) is very happy after Saints stun Arsenal in the FA Cup, so are The Gunners about to bottle it again and what advice would the guys give to Arteta? Plus are Liverpool in crisis and is a management change likely, what REALLY happens when managers and players don’t see eye to eye, can West Ham turn FA Cup disappointment into league form and - somewhat randomly - the guys discover benefits of ‘Hot Yoga.

Also as it’s the eve of The Masters, and as the lads love their golf, they follow in Rory McIlroy’s footsteps and choose their ‘Champions Meals’. Which menu do you prefer?

A heads up we’ve got the legend that is Eidur Gudjohnsen joining us next week so if you have a question for him, email us at hellothedressingroom@gmail.com

Joe, Carlton and Wayne assess what could be a decisive weekend in the the race to be Champions, while at the bottom things are ‘as you were’ after Spurs, West Ham, Forest and Leeds all picked up a point - but who will be the happiest?

Joe, Carlton and Wayne discuss the ugly scenes in the Champions League tie between Benfica and Real Madrid, where Real forward Vinicius Junior received alleged racial abuse. The guys dissect Arsenal’s 4-1 victory in an electric London derby against Spurs. We go deep on the battle for the title - will City hang on to glory or will Arsenal silence the doubters accusing them of being “bottlers”. With Pep Guardiola encouraging his players to enjoy some cocktails having piled on the pressure on the Gunners, the boys offer up their finest City / cocktail puns (spoiler alert - it’s a mixed bag…). We celebrate James Milner who reached a record breaking 654 Premier League appearances last weekend.
