This week, we’re shining the spotlight where it actually belongs — on the underappreciated greats of the game.

2026/02/18

With Valentine’s Day in the air, Dan and James put sentiment aside and go head-to-head to decide one thing: what is the greatest title rivalry in Premier League history?Is it the fiery, era-defining war between Manchester United and Arsenal — a rivalry built on tunnel bust-ups, mind games, and pure passion? Or is it the modern tussle between Manchester City and Liverpool - where 98 points still isn’t safe and perfection almost became the bare minimum? And where do Chelsea fit in all this? No

25. Fixing... The Cole Palmer Train

2026/02/09

It finally arrived! The train we have been discussing for so long has turned up at the station, filled from front to back with so many passengers willing to blindly follow the narrative that Cole Palmer is world class. He may have had some purple patches in his short but meteoric career, but has he done enough to justify this cult-like status he has already achieved?

Is Saka a good dribbler? What about Neymar? How about Busquets? What even is dribbling anyway??

2025/12/25

Boxing Day used to mean wall-to-wall football. Now it’s been trimmed down to a single, underwhelming fixture. This week, Dan and James take aim at how broadcasters and schedulers have quietly stripped the day of its magic, turning one of football’s greatest traditions into just another calendar slot.From packed festive slates to a lone kickoff, the lads ask how Boxing Day football lost its soul — and how it can be fixed before the tradition disappears for good, alright?!

Football Is Fixable, Alright?! ·

2025/12/16

From “back in my day” logic to shameless club bias, former footballers dominate football coverage — but should they? In this episode, James takes Dan back to school to question whether playing experience alone still qualifies ex-pros to analyse today’s game.

2025/12/02

With great confidence, I will be able to predict that you have overrated a footballer at some point in your life. We can say this confidently because we are convinced that everyone rates players incorrectly. The boys introduce a new way to accurately judge players, and come up with a list themselves of players that they judge to be overrated.

2025/11/11

Fans are often fickle, fashioning fragile fantasies of their favourite football clubs' fortunes, while failing to fully confess their foundering faults. They flip and they flop from fervent faith to fiery frustration faster than a free kick flies in a typhoon. From flawless form to floundering fiasco, their feelings forever fluctuate. Yet, for all their fussing and fretting, they're faithful to the crest they follow. Feel free to listen to this week's episode and find out how these fine fellows fix

Don't you hate Hate-watchers?! Watching football with the express decision to hate on their rivals is a hateful thing to do. On this podcast, we hate it when people hate on others for no other reason than to hate. Is it just me, or is the word 'hate' now sounding a bit silly?

Football Is Fixable, Alright?! ·

2025/09/29

The Oxford English Dictionary defines 'Genius' as "an exceptionally intelligent person or one with exceptional skill in a particular area of activity". When you hear this, James sees only one name - the Everton legend of Mikel Arteta. Is he truly a genius for making Arsenal once again a force to be reckoned with, as well as regular title challengers? Or is he a young manager that's spent more than both City and Liverpool since he took over at Arsenal, with no title to show for it? We'll get to the
