2023/05/15

Mike and Myles this week try and figure out whether Arsenal's 3-0 loss to Brighton is really the latest example of "bottling the League", or whether the season should be considered a success. And what about Brighton? They looked so impressive, as they have all season. And with Aston Villa beating Tottenham, the race for Europe is becoming incredibly tight. Mauricio Pochettino looks highly likely to become the next Chelsea manager. After an awful season, is this the right move for both

On Coronation weekend, Arsenal continue their push to be crowned Kings of the Premier League, winning 2-0 against a tough Newcastle team at St James' Park. Myles, Mike and Dave chat about their chances after this win, and the pivotal roles of Martin Odegaard and Jorginho in particular. Sam Allardyce's return to management at Leeds was met with sneers this week, but he limited Man City to a 2-1 win when it could have been much worse. Will this desperate roll of the dice keep Leeds away from

In a weekend packed with goals, it was at Anfield where we saw the most action in a 4-3 win for Liverpool over Tottenham. Myles and Dave look (and laugh) at how Spurs yet again went and Spurs-ed it up, pulling back from 3-0 down to draw level, only to gift Liverpool a winner seconds later. Thrilling for the neutral, but sickening for Tottenham fans. They also ask whether Jurgen Klopp's touchline behaviour deserves more criticism, after his rant at the fourth official was so angry, he pulled a

As Newcastle smashed Tottenham 6-1 in a performance that showed the direction that both teams are headed in, Mike and Dave look at the state of each team's season. Eddie Howe's team look right at home in the top 4, but how did they get there? And as Spurs sack Christian Stellini, how low will they go until the end of this nightmare season? Leicester finally ground a 2-1 win over relegation rivals Wolves in Dean Smith's first home game in charge. What has he changed at the club, and is

How high can Aston Villa finish this season? Unai Emery has said the new target is "top 6", but Villa fan Myles has dreams of Champions League qualification. After a statement 3-0 win against high-flying Newcastle, Mike and Dave ask Myles - what is the realistic goal for Villa now? Manchester United steadied their recent wobbly form with a comfortable 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest, with Brazilian star Antony having one of his best games in a United shirt. Maybe he is pretty decent after

2023/04/10

Mike and Dave look at Arsenal's Easter blockbuster against Liverpool at Anfield, where the Gunners relinquished a 2-0 lead to finish 2-2 in a game that Liverpool could (should?) have won. That's gotta go down as 2 points dropped in the title race, where Man City continued relentlessly with a 4-1 win over sorry Southampton, keeping the pressure on Arsenal. Roy Hodgson's re-appointment at Crystal Palace raised eyebrows, but their 5-1 win away at Leeds dispelled any myths about any

Mike, Myles and Dave chat about TWO managers getting the chop in the Premier League this week. Graham Potter is finally shown the door at Chelsea, a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa enough to send them into 11th in the table. What went wrong for Potter at Stamford Bridge? At Leicester, a limp defeat to Roy Hodgson's Crystal Palace deep into injury time spelled the end for Brendan Rodgers. His time at the Foxes has been a success on the whole, but this past year has been awful. We delve into why, and

It's the international break, and England started their Euro 2024 qualifying superbly with wins over Italy and Ukraine. And among this, Harry Kane became England's record goalscorer with goals in each game, cementing his place as an England legend. Mike, Myles and Dave discuss his impact for the Three Lions, as well as standout performances from Bukayo Saka and Jude Bellingham, and the impact of James Maddison on his full debut. Tottenham finally parted ways with Antonio Conte, with

So Crystal Palace decide to cut their losses and sack Patrick Vieira after an awful run of form, and the club lying in lowly *checks notes*.... 12th place?! Mike and Dave discuss whether the Palace board have made a huge mistake, or whether the future really is in the past, with a possible Roy Hodgson return. Antonio Conte's time at Tottenham is surely coming to an end, after his unbelievable press conference became a rant about all the things that Spurs are doing badly. How long does Conte have

This week's conversation has been dominated by the BBC's decision to pull Gary Lineker from Match of the Day duty, after political comments on his personal Twitter account were deemed to breach impartiality guidelines. Putting the politics aside, Mike and Myles have a chat about their thoughts on pundit-less MOTD and what the future of football highlights looks like. And on the pitch, Liverpool followed up their 7-0 thumping of Manchester United, with a sorry 1-0 defeat to spirited Bournemouth. The

An unbelievable weekend in the Premier League saw Liverpool rattle SEVEN goals past Manchester United in a 7-0 humbling for Erik ten Hag's men. Myles and United fan Dave try and make sense of what they saw, in one of the craziest games of the season so far. Arsenal's title credentials were tested yet again, after going down 2-0 to Bournemouth before eventually running out 3-2 winners. A 97th-minute winner from Reiss Nelson capped an incredible comeback for the Gunners, who were in danger of losing

After Manchester United lifted their first silverware for 6 years - and the first trophy under Erik ten Hag - Mike and Myles discuss what's changed at United, and how they set up to sweep Newcastle aside 2-0 in the Carabao Cup Final. In the Premier League, Ollie Watkins made history by becoming the first Aston Villa player to score in 5 consecutive league games, ending a run of 3 defeats for Unai Emery's side in a 2-0 win over Everton.

West Ham and Chelsea's miserable seasons continue, adding yet more pressure on David Moyes and Graham Potter. Mike and Dave discuss their chances of turning it around, as fans of both teams become more divided on their futures. After Arsenal were beaten 3-1 by Manchester City in a potentially pivotal moment in the title race, the Gunners then bounced back with a resilient 4-2 win over Aston Villa - as City dropped points against Nottingham Forest in a 1-1 draw.

Mike and Dave take a moment to celebrate some of the Premier League's more unsung teams this week. Firstly Fulham, whose 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest continues their fine season so far. How high in the table can they stay this season? Likewise, Brentford produced a fantastic performance against league leaders Arsenal, earning a 1-1 draw with another inspired performance from Ivan Toney. VAR played a big part in Brentford's goal, but they definitely deserved something from the game. Arsenal can

A bombshell week for Manchester City, as the Premier League announce more than 100 charges of financial irregularities against them over a period of a decade. Mike, Myles and Dave discuss the ramifications for City, and what the Premier League might do next - dock points, relegate, or worse? Jesse Marsch was also sacked by Leeds after a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest. We'll have a look at whether or not this was the right move for Leeds to make.

So, Frank Lampard has been sacked as manager of Everton after a 2-0 loss to fellow strugglers West Ham, leaving the Toffees in a mess near the foot of the table. Mike, Myles and Dave ponder where the club goes next - to the Championship? Or do they sound the Sean Dyche klaxon to save their season? At the top of the Premier League, Arsenal passed their biggest challenge yet by beating Manchester United 3-2 in an end-to-end encounter. The result is a reality check for Erik ten Hag's improving team,

Manchester is Red! United beat City at Old Trafford to move within a point of Pep Guardiola's team, with a bit of controversy for United's equaliser. Mike, Myles and Dave discuss whether it was in fact offside, and also how Erik ten Hag continues to shape this United team. City's defeat handed yet more initiative to Arsenal, who streak into an 8-point lead after their 2-0 win over Tottenham.
