  • Trent Back To The Premier League | Can Declan Rice Win The Ballon d'or? | English Champions League Domination

    Trent Back To The Premier League | Can Declan Rice Win The Ballon d'or? | English Champions League Domination
    Jan 23 2026
    We’re fresh off The Overlap and straight into the chaos. Chelsea’s “yes man” manager chat, the weirdness of them not nailing a proper shirt sponsor, and why multi-club ownership “blind trusts” feel like a total con. Then we’re onto Real Madrid being a basket case, Trent potentially getting binned already, and why England clubs are starting to swallow the Champions League format whole. There’s Palace drama too, Mateta’s rocking the boat, Strand Larsen links, and a little corner reserved for Gary Cotterell doing the most cringe question imaginable. Plus: can Declan Rice ever win the Ballon d’Or, or are we all just losing our minds? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • How Did Carrick Fix Man United? | Palace & Spurs In Meltdown | West Ham Limbs

    How Did Carrick Fix Man United? | Palace & Spurs In Meltdown | West Ham Limbs
    Jan 19 2026
    We get properly stuck into one of those episodes where everything spills out. Palace chaos, Glasner torching his own job, Spurs being utterly miserable, VAR now missing blatant red cards, corporate football killing atmosphere, and that weird feeling of not loving matchdays like we used to. Add AFCON insanity, Villa beef, manager bounces, and a bit of self loathing, and you have a very on brand hour of football therapy. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Are Villa Big Six? | | How Awful Is VAR? | Arsenal For The Quad?

    Are Villa Big Six? | | How Awful Is VAR? | Arsenal For The Quad?
    Jan 15 2026
    We’ve had a week of it. Villa fans came for us in numbers after The Overlap dragged up an old Big Six debate clip, so naturally we’ve now got a lifelong vendetta. Then we spiral into the proper stuff: why VAR has killed goal celebrations, why five minute offside checks are a disgrace, and whether football was better when you just glanced at the lino and went mad. There’s Spurs misery, West Ham dread, protest chat, Gallagher being “a terrier”, a quick detour into Chelsea, and a bumper comments section featuring the Raggett brothers, scrap invitations, and the legendary Sandwich Video.

  • The Palace Humiliation | Head Coach v Director Of Football | Chelsea Too Big For Rosenior ?

    The Palace Humiliation | Head Coach v Director Of Football | Chelsea Too Big For Rosenior ?
    Jan 12 2026
    In this episode we confirm Dan’s okay after a short break, then dive straight into Crystal Palace’s humiliating FA Cup exit and why it may be the worst performance in the club’s modern history. From there we broaden the conversation to Tottenham, Chelsea and beyond, asking who really carries responsibility in modern football: the head coach on the touchline or the directors and ownership behind the scenes. We discuss Thomas Frank’s situation at Spurs, Oliver Glasner’s uncertain future at Palace, Chelsea’s new manager and the pressures of leading elite players in the social media era. Plus listener questions, FA Cup fallout, and the strange reality of supporting football clubs that always seem to find new ways to test you. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Thomas Frank Has To Go | What Is Man United DNA? | The Panenka Penalty

    Thomas Frank Has To Go | What Is Man United DNA? | The Panenka Penalty
    Jan 8 2026
    This one starts with numbness and ends somewhere between catharsis and chaos. We talk about the unspoken contract you sign with your football club for life, why some fans walk away and why most of us never really can. Spurs being a mess, Palace perspective, watching football out of habit rather than hope, and how results hit differently when it’s also your job. There’s burnout, sleep deprivation, social media fatigue, managers losing the room, The Panenka being a crime against football, and why talking it all through with your mates might be the only thing that keeps you sane.

  • Boring, Boring Tottenham | Liam Rosenior Might Actually Be Good | XG Explains Nothing And Everything

    Boring, Boring Tottenham | Liam Rosenior Might Actually Be Good | XG Explains Nothing And Everything
    Jan 2 2026
    We start with Spurs and quickly ask a bigger question. When football gets this dull, what are fans meant to cling to? We talk Thomas Frank, clean sheets that feel joyless, away ends singing old songs to stay sane, and whether pragmatism has gone too far. From Spurs to Chelsea’s chaos, Liam Rosenior rumours, Brennan Johnson, Sunderland’s madness and why xG both explains everything and nothing, this one turns into a proper chat about what football is meant to give us, and why so often it doesn’t.

    Chelsea Have An Identity Crisis | Marc Guehi Is Premier League's Best Defender | Calvert-Lewin On The Plane?
    Dec 29 2025
    We’re back after Christmas and Dan’s had the full festive experience: Palace losing, kids being sick everywhere, and the dreaded norovirus tidal wave arriving mid Christmas dinner. Lovely stuff. Then we get into a game of football that neither of us ever wants to think about again, VAR and the weird delayed offside stuff, and why Thomas Frank still isn’t winning Spurs fans over. After that it’s Brennan Johnson to Palace rumours, Calvert-Lewin suddenly turning into a six-yard assassin, Villa refusing to go away, and a proper listener message about teaching your kids what supporting Palace actually means.

  • Villa Can Win The Title | The Worst Ref In The League | West Ham Are Down

    Villa Can Win The Title | The Worst Ref In The League | West Ham Are Down
    Dec 22 2025
    We try to do the grown-up referee chat and still end up saying John Brooks had an absolute mare, even while admitting Spurs deserved the two reds. Then we get into why this Premier League season feels properly weird, why Villa have to be taken seriously in the title race, and why West Ham look like they’re sleepwalking into a relegation scrap. There’s also a bit on Dele Alli and how quickly it can all unravel, plus a proper chat about matchgoing fans versus global fans and why it does not have to be one or the other. We round it off with festive comments, Celtic’s magnet-gate, and Dan taking his six-year-old to Leeds away for a 4-1, which is either elite parenting or a safeguarding issue.
