We spent our Sunday at Wembley, cheering on our non-league side AFC Whyteleafe in the final of the FA Vase. Sadly, for us, the result didn't go our way with Whitstable Town winning 2-1. Despite the result it was an unforgetable day at the home the football.Also this week, we talk about the play-off between the worst non-relegated Premier League teams, otherwise known as the Europa League final.

2025/05/06

It's rare that we get to the month of May with all of us on the podcast supporting clubs that are still chasing prizes. Terry's Crystal Palace are in the FA Cup final, Jan's Sunderland are in the Championship play-offs, and Graham's Arsenal are still in with a (slim) chance of winning the men's and the women's Champions Leagues. Perhaps more notable though is the side that we all follow, AFC Whyteleafe, who make their Wembley debut this weekend in the FA Vase final against Whitstable

As the end of the season approaches we're starting to get a clearer idea of who'll be where next season. After a hectic Easter weekend, Leeds United and Burnley have secured their return to the Premier League, but how will they get on next season?Also in the last week, Virgil van Dijk confirmed that he will be staying at Liverpool, just a few days after Mo Salah confirmed he had signed a new two year deal to stay. Speculation still hangs over the future of Trent Alexander-Arnold. Meanwhile, after

The three teams that were promoted to the Premier League last season look certain to be going back down to the Championship - just as they did last season. Southampton are already down and Ipswich and Leicester could join them with as many as five rounds of fixtures to play.Also this week, Graham and Jan try to come back down to earth after their non-league team AFC Whyteleafe secured their place in the final of the FA Vase, to be played at Wembley Stadium in May.

The FA Cup quarter-finals were short on surprises. Who out of Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest are best placed to challenge Manchester City's dominance of the competition?Forest will be the first to try to stop Pep's side reaching a third consecutive final but will they be distracted by their push for Champions League football? Aston Villa meanwhile have the pressure of a Champions League quarter-final against Unai Emery's former side, PSG, and a potential semi-final against

On Friday, Harry Kane scored his 70th goal for England in a comfortable 2-0 win against Albania, their opening World Cup qualifier. Will he still be Thomas Tuchel’s choice as captain and main striker by the time the final tournament comes around next summer?Also this week it seems that Trent Alexander Arnold took a step closer to becoming a Real Madrid player next season, with a pre-contract agreement reportedly having been made.

2025/03/04

Some people (not us) will tell you that the FA Cup doesn't mean much any more, but you wouldn't think that from the passions that boiled over on the field during this weekend's FA Cup fifth round. In total there were three straight red cards. The cards shown to Anthony Gordon and Matheus Cunha came from frustration but the card shown to Millwall's goalkeeper Liam Roberts, while perhaps the most unintentional, was by far the most dangerous.VAR, which made its return to the FA Cup for this round,

It might still be February but in the Premier League both the title race and the relegation battle already look to be over. Now all that's left is the race for Europe. While that may not seem that exciting, with the likely prospect of a fifth Champions League place on offer the likes of Forest and Bournemouth have an excellent chance of playing on the biggest stage next season. On the subject of slim pickings, Sir Jim Ratcliffe is at again at Old Trafford, now removing free meals for the

2025/02/18

Does the continuing good form of big target men like Chris Wood and Jean-Philippe Mateta signal a shift back towards more direct forms of attack in the top flight of English football? Playing as an old-fashioned centre forward can't be that difficult, Mikel Merino hasn't played in that position since he was a small boy but scored twice in 20 minutes as Arsenal's number nine in their win at Leicester on Saturday.Also this week we discuss the news that DAZN is now part-owned by Surj, the sports arm

This weekend's FA Cup fourth round had more than its fair share of surprises, none bigger than bottom of the Championship Plymouth Argyle knocking out top of the Premier League Liverpool. There were upsets, amazing goals, some industrial language and technology-free controversies. All that was missing was the replays but somehow we still ended up with a game on a Tuesday night.With so many of the usual suspects already out, it feels like there could be a different name on the famous trophy this

It's been a frustrating weekend for fans of the North London clubs. On Saturday, Arsenal were enraged by the decision that saw Myles Lewis-Skelly sent off against Wolves. The following day, Tottenham fans watched their team lose at home again, this time to Leicester.The red card sparked outrage amongst pundits as well as Gunners' fans, for as much as anything because it didn't feel like a decision you should see in the Premier League. Tottenham's fans showed their dissatisfaction with recent

As we reach another milestone for the podcast, we look at where football is at the halfway point of the 2020s using the weekend's FA Cup third round as our frame of reference.The lack of replays and the shadow of the absent VAR all made for a very 2025 set of matches, where surprises were hard to come by. Our old friend Chris Nee joins us help us make sense of it all. For more information on the podcast and links related to the subjects discussed, check out the Show Notes on our

After a disappointing display in Liverpool's weekend home match against Manchester United, has Trent Alexander Arnold's head been turned by the offer of a big money move to Real Madrid? Also this week Everton and West Ham appear to be in a race to hire Graham Potter as their new manager - before either side has dispensed with the men currently holding those positions.
