  Episode #5

  Season 2 Episode 5 - Doomsday at the Etihad

  Sep 28, 202636 minS2

  We don't normally record during the international break, but when Manchester City get found guilty on 114 of the 115 charges, you make an exception. In this special episode, Dave, Paul and Adam break down what City were actually charged with, why Dave is calling it pure fraud, and how City escaped UEFA on a technicality last time. Paul makes the case that modern football isn't built for new clubs to break into the elite, sparking a debate on salary caps and whether City could have done it the slow way. Then the big question: what's the right punishment? Fines, transfer bans, expulsion, points deductions or stripping titles, the boys go through them all. Paul puts a number on the points deduction, Dave explains why sending City down isn't as simple as it sounds, and Adam brings up Lance Armstrong and the Melbourne Storm. Plus: Did Pep know? Will City still be in the Premier League by May? And the argument of the night: did Chelsea cheat? Paul says no. Dave has thoughts. Lots of them. Oh, and Paul has discovered Instagram collabs.

  Season 2 Episode 4 - Two Reds, No Blues

  Sep 22, 202642 minS2

  Paul's out. Not with a cold, not with a virus, but with "a virus without the viral symptoms" and a bad case of sore legs, delivered via voice memo roughly ninety seconds after his Chelsea got flogged 3-0 at Brentford. Funny that. So it's two Liverpool fans, no Chelsea in the room to fight back, and open season. Dave and Adam tear through a loaded weekend: Chelsea's heart-monitor season and why Alonso is somehow untouchable, Arsenal getting dismantled 3-0 at Brighton in maybe the performance of the season, and Dave's grand unified theory of why you hate a title winner (bad football, cheating, or bad characters, and why Klopp's Liverpool passed all three). Then it's the good, the bad and the ugly: Jeremy Jacquet's breakout, the Florian Wirtz flop debate, Liverpool grinding out Bournemouth, Man City going five from five with Haaland's golden boot locked, the charges that never seem to land, Manchester United's first-ever home loss after leading at half-time in 551 games, Spurs sitting dead last, and El Sackico looming. Plus a Ballon d'Or rant and the sack-race sweepstakes. Up the Reds. Get well soon, Paul. Allegedly. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  Episode #3

  Season 2 Episode 3 - Ten Men, No Excuses

  Sep 15, 202652 minS2

  Dave and Paul are back for Season 2, Episode 3, and this week kicks off with possibly the least football related opening in the show's history. Before a ball is kicked, the lads go to war over toilet paper (over or under), whether you sit or stand to do your business, and the now infamous Hyrox poo saga that has to be heard to be believed. Dave is horrified. Paul is defending the indefensible. Standard. Then the football arrives, and it is all about the Manchester derby. Ten-man City beat United, and there are no excuses. The boys thrash out the Foden red card, the Bruno Fernandes simulation question, the offside goal the refs later admitted was wrong, and whether VAR consistency is just a pipe dream. That spills into the big one: with United this bad, are they even the biggest club in Manchester anymore, let alone England? Elsewhere, Arsenal are the real deal even if Dave reckons watching them is like a UFC fighter grinding out a submission. Paul makes his case for Xabi Alonso's Chelsea as a work in progress, Dave defends Iraola's Liverpool through a rough patch and a brutal 100 million pound flop debate, and Spurs keep another clean sheet while forgetting how to score. Plus a quickfire yes or no round, the Carrick sack watch, and a definitive ruling on "have your cake and eat it too." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  Season 2 Episode 2 - Bake a Cake and Eat It Too

  Sep 8, 202643 minS2

  Dave, Paul and Adam are back for Season 2, Episode 2, and before a single tactic gets discussed the lads go to war over the important stuff: what actually counts as football "history," the correct etiquette for chewing gum, and whether anyone has ever genuinely said "bake a cake and eat it too" (spoiler: Dave is not having it). Once the football kicks off, it's all about Arsenal laying down a marker in a fiery win over Chelsea, complete with the obligatory refereeing conspiracy theories. The boys debate whether Xabi Alonso's counter-attacking Chelsea are real challengers or just great to watch, why Spurs still can't buy a goal under the Zerbi, and whether Isak and Gakpo have finally sparked Liverpool's new-look front line into life while Florian Wirtz keeps everyone guessing. Plus: Man City quietly top under Enzo Maresca, the great Enzo Fernandez debate, a Manchester United defensive horror show and the "when's Carrick getting sacked" question, a last-gasp Maitland-Niles stunner at Everton, who's really the best keeper in the world, and what Saka's future says about life at the Emirates. Six of one, half a dozen of the other. You decide. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  Season 2 Episode 1 - Fed Up Already: Nobody Knows Anything

  Sep 1, 202649 minS2

  We're back. After the longest off-season ever (a World Cup, a job change, two holidays, and Paul becoming a part-time tradie), Dave and Paul return to talk football, and Dave is already fed up. This week: Dave goes on an epic rant about the sheer saturation of football content, the endless punditry, and why nobody predicting the top four after 90 minutes of the season has a clue. Fabrizio Romano, David Ornstein, and the "sports journalism" crowd all cop it. We also dig into a big off-season of change. Xabi Alonso has taken over at Chelsea and Paul reckons it's a title challenge. Arne "Areola" has the reins at Liverpool, but Dave's frustrated by a quiet transfer window and gaping holes in midfield. Plus: Tottenham's misery under De Zerbi despite spending big, Chelsea's shaky finances, whether Coventry can survive, and Keith Andrews being tipped for a big-six move. Then it gets serious. Dave breaks down the FIFA scandal, Gianni Infantino's alleged plan to spin the World Cup off into a private, investor-driven money machine, and why it matters for the future of the game. We wrap with season predictions, dark horses, and a quick-fire run through the weekend fixtures ahead of the Arsenal v Chelsea London derby. New season, same chaos. Have a listen. Hosted on Acast.
