Show Notes
In this week’s Dugout, Jacob Hawley sits down with YouTuber, actor, and writer Alex Moneypenny for a wide-ranging chat that moves from the Emirates media box to the London theatre stage.
The two talk Arsenal from every angle — the view from behind the goal at the Man City game, why Victor Gyökeres divides the fanbase, and how Mikel Marino might have shifted the title race if you ran the season in an AI sim. They debate open-play goals, Odegaard’s influence, Arteta’s tactical tweaks, and the fine margins separating “functioning at 60 percent” from a title-winning 100 percent.
Beyond tactics, Alex opens up about pivoting from acting to writing, staging his own musical (“about a woman who thinks the Earth is flat”), and what it’s like to build creative work from scratch — on stage and on YouTube.
Smart football talk, creative energy, and a few laughs about coping with Arsenal trauma in the stands — it’s a grounded, honest Dugout you’ll want to play through twice.
