There is an exciting 3-way battle for the Bundesliga title, and it's already March!

Welcome back to the Rabona Boys Podcast! In today's episode, our hosts review the most important PL game of the year, the first matchup between Arsenal and Manchester City.

Despite dominating possesion (+60%), City surprised Arsenal and made the most of their limited chances. Join in as our resident Arsenal fan, Nik Solo, reacts to his team's performance and goes through all 5 stages of grief in 20 minutes!

In continuation from last weeks' episode, the Rabona Boys continue to address the effect billionaires are having on the game. Manchester City have been hit with over 100 charges from the Premier League for financial violations ranging between 2008 and 2017, compiled over a four-year period. If you're a fan of Rap or the American Mafia, then you'll recognize this style of prosecution, and that City are about to get hit with the Prem's version of the R.I.C.O. Our hosts recognize that the timing of this indictment is more than a little odd, but its importance cannot be understated. Our beloved sport has already become the plaything of plutocrats and nation-states, but this may be the last chance that 'pure' football may have to protect itself from the relentless, all-consuming, inevitable machine that is billionaire wealth.
