  • Arsenal Crumble? Man City Smash Chelsea as the Title Race Blows Open! Rio & Ste Tease JoeL
    Apr 12 2026

    Welcome back to Rio Presents, brought to you by CRAFTD.


    We’re live and direct after a huge weekend in the title race, with plenty to get into following Manchester City’s clash with Chelsea and another frustrating chapter for Arsenal. The conversation starts with a closer look at the impact of half-time decisions, and how the contrast between Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta is becoming more and more evident when games are on the line.


    Rio also reflects on dressing room moments from his own career, revealing how the right message at half-time can completely transform a team’s performance. From there, the focus shifts to some of the standout players driving City forward this season, including the unpredictable brilliance of Ryan Cherki, the incredible output from Nico O’Reilly at left-back, and the growing influence of Marc Guehi during this crucial stage of the campaign.


    As always, we dive into the stats behind the story, comparing City and Arsenal’s attacking numbers and asking serious questions about where things are going wrong for Arteta’s side. With teams seemingly finding a blueprint to disrupt Arsenal’s build-up play, we explore whether the rest of the league is starting to catch on, and what that means for their title hopes.


    There’s plenty of debate throughout the show, including fan questions on everything from recent criticism around key players to the bigger picture at Arsenal, and even whether this could be a defining moment for Arteta’s future at the club. We also touch on wider talking points across the game, including Chelsea, Liverpool, and standout performers across Europe.


    To round things off, there’s a quick look at Roberto De Zerbi’s difficult start at Tottenham, plus a well-deserved shoutout to one of the young talents we’ve been backing on the podcast, Rio Ngumoha, after a special moment at Anfield.

  • Reasons Man Utd need to sign Elliot Anderson and Dutch Wonderkid
    Apr 6 2026


    As attention switches back to the Premier League and Manchester United’s Champions League qualification - Rio is joined by Ste Howson and Joel Beya to discuss the midfield and how it needs to be improved in the transfer window along with a potential signing from Holland that nobody is talking about.


    There’s discussion about Arsenal’s title run-in after a shock defeat to Championship side Southampton. After Max Dowman was the Gunners’ stand-out performer in that match, Rio goes into detail of how he should be protected and utilised by his manager Mikel Arteta.


    There’s a European player that’s reminding Rio of why he fell in love with football - plus you’ll hear why Rio brands Marcus Rashford’s potential transfer to Barcelona as a “robbery”.
