Is Roberto De Zerbi a tactical genius or the world’s most expensive flight risk? This week, we dive into the Italian’s arrival at N17 — bringing high-energy Rondos, a fiery temperament and a salary that laughs in the face of the club's £831m

With only seven games to save the season, we ask: will he stay if we go down, or will he flounce out the moment he spots a carton of UHT milk in the canteen?

Also in this episode:

  • Financial Fair Play-ish: Digging through the £94.7m loss—where did that "£100m war chest" go?

  • The Mikey Moore Mystery: Why was the club quieter than a library about his health issues?

  • Academy Watch: Are our loanees "desperately average" or just resting?

  • The Art of the Text: Kev’s guide to the "Calculated Mock"—when exactly is it safe to ruin a friend’s weekend?

Plus, we induct the "USA-isation" of football and the phrase "I was today years old" into Room 101.

Featuring the legendary Julie Welch, the eternally miserable-yet-optimistic Kev Acott, and actor and wannabe social media star, Lee Brown
