Mike, Myles and Dave look at the first mega-contest of the season, as Arsenal dispatched Man City 1-0 to join Spurs at the top of the Premier League. What did we learn about the teams, and who really is in a possible title race? Everton finally broke their losing streak at home with a 3-0 win over hapless Bournemouth. The lads discuss the Toffees' fortunes, and whether this can be a turning point for them. And European adventurers West Ham and Newcastle - showing some signs of fatigue - played

Mike, Myles and Dave headline this week's pod with a tactical breakdown of Aston Villa's remarkable 6-1 thrashing of Brighton. For 2 teams so stylistically similar, how did Unai Emery set up so spectacularly right? Tottenham's 2-1 win over Liverpool won't be remembered for Spurs breaking their bad streak against the Reds, but instead for an awful show of officiating. from VAR decisions gone wrong, PGMOL apologies, 2 contentious red cards and a last minute, own-goal winner, the game

Mike and Dave chat about an action-packed weekend in the Premier League. Starting at the Emirates, where Arsenal and Tottenham played out an entertaining 2-2 draw with James Maddison the heart of Tottenham's play. At Bramall Lane, Newcastle smashed 8 past hapless Sheffield United, with 8 different goalscorers. Newcastle proving that there was no hangover at all from mid-week Champions League football. How high can they finish this season? And Liverpool climbed to 2nd behind leaders Manchester

2023/09/19

Myles and Dave focus on Brighton and their stunning 3-1 win over a pretty ordinary-looking Manchester United at Old Trafford. The result contrasts just how tactically astute Roberto De Zerbi's team have become, with a burgeoning sense of chaos and crisis at United. Aston Villa looked impressive again in their late comeback win over Crystal Palace, while a glance at Chelsea's bench definitely doesn't reflect a billion-pound outlay on players. The lads discuss the fortunes of both

2023/09/11

International week brought more talking points than the lads expected, as England limped to a dull 1-1 draw with Ukraine which raised more questions than answers. Especially considering the inclusions of Harry Maguire and Jordan Henderson, which begs the question - is Gareth Southgate still the man to lead this talented group of players, or have they outgrown him? Mike, Myles and Dave discuss that, as well as Germany's future after sacking Hansi Flick following another defeat, Manchester

Mike is joined by author and Sutton United fan Johnnie Lowery to discuss mental health in football; from the perspective of fans, players, and managers. Johnnie's new book, "Match Fit" delves into the many aspects of men's mental health, and how football is intertwined with that in so many ways. In line with some of the chapters of the book, we look into the pressures of management, players dealing with addiction, creating a support network for men, and the impact of social media

Mike and Myles focus on the week's most entertaining games, starting with Liverpool's 2-1 comeback win against Newcastle. Darwin Nunez made the difference, but Newcastle missed a golden chance to take the win after Vigil van Dijk's red card. West Ham followed up their impressive win over Chelsea by beating Brighton away 3-1. With Mo Kudus joining soon, what exactly can we expect from the Hammers this season?

Mike and Dave look at a tale of 2 debuts, as James Ward-Prowse did his thing for new team West Ham, leading them to a 3-1 win over Chelsea, whose record signing Moises Caicedo had a debut to forget. Manchester United limped to a 2-0 defeat to Postecoglou Hotspurs, as Ange's Tottenham continued their evolution against a surprisingly lethargic United side. What's happening with Erik ten Hag's men at the moment? Aston Villa responded to their opening day defeat to Newcastle by humbling

The season is ALMOST back! Arsenal won the traditional curtain-raiser the Community Shield on penalties after a late late equaliser took the game against Manchester City to extra time. Mike and Dave chat about what we learned from the game, especially how each of the likely title contenders lined up. How did Rice, Timber, Havertz, Kovacic etc perform? In the Women's World Cup round of 16, England scraped past Nigeria on penalties after a Lauren James red card for violent conduct left the

Mike, Myles and Dave lock in on Manchester United target Rasmus Hojlund after a fee of around £70million has reportedly been agreed. Can that fee be justified for an unproven number 9, and what does Erik ten Hag see in him that will benefit United? Andre Onana has already made the move to Old Trafford, and is making his presence know to his defence - especially Harry Maguire, who was on the receiving end of Onana's fury in pre-season. The lads discuss United's squad right now, including

We're baaaack! After a short break, Myles and Dave discuss some major summer transfer stories developing. Including the now-confirmed transfer of Harvey Barnes to Newcastle and what he will bring, as well as the bargain reported £15m Nottingham Forest are paying for Anthony Elanga. We argue also whether Aston Villa have "won" the transfer market in terms of upgrades, and also discuss England's misfiring start to the Women's World Cup and how they can find the net.

Dave and Myles bring you more summer transfer analysis, as Pau Torres makes the move to Villa Park to join Unai Emery's Aston Villa revolution. He's been highly sought after across Europe in recent years, so how much of a coup is this for Villa - and where will he fit? Another big name moving to the Premier League is Dominik Szoboszlai, with the Hungarian joining Liverpool as their midfield rebuild continues. And in Italy, Serie A is full of transfer activity - with a few big names being

The transfer rumour mill is cranking up, and Mike is joined by Myles and Dave to chat about the futures of two clubs in particular - Arsenal and Manchester United. The Gunners are closing in on Chelsea forward Kai Havertz and Ajax defender Jurrien Timber, and we discuss where they could fit into Mikel Arteta's team. Meanwhile, Declan Rice's future is still in doubt. Manchester City are reportedly looking at Rice as a replacement for Barca-bound Ilkay Gundogan, but Arsenal are still hopeful

After two weeks away from the pod Mike, Myles and Dave are back in time to catch up on the summer transfer gossip and football news. Top of the agenda is the Saudi Pro League, where more and more top players are moving to big money. Which in itself is no surprise - China have done similar in the past. But the speed and scale of change is staggering, and the links between some clubs just ever so slightly suspicious. Jude Bellingham made his way to Ream Madrid in a move costing more than £100m,

Manchester City are two-thirds of the way to a Treble! As City beat United to lift the FA Cup at Wembley, Mike, Myles and Dave look at how the Cup was won. For City this was probably the most difficult leg of an historic Treble of trophies. For United, this was potentially their second domestic cup under Erik ten Hag. But Ilkay Gundogan had other ideas, as his brace - including a goal within 15 seconds - sunk United. Elsewhere, Karim Benzema announced his departure from Real Madrid - leaving the

Where did it all go wrong for Leicester? The 2016 Champions find themselves in the Championship next season, just 12 months after finishing 8th.

Mike, Myles and Dave look at how City won the league, and also look at the effect Forest's win had on the relegation picture. It means Forest survive, capping an excellent season for Steve Cooper's men, who will undoubtedly be happy they didn't sack him. Unlike many of their relegation rivals who pulled the
