  • Chelsea Sacked Him... He STILL Gets 20M 😂

    Chelsea Sacked Him... He STILL Gets 20M 😂
    Apr 28 2026
    This week, we dive into the madness at Chelsea FC as another manager walks away very well paid - asking how clubs keep getting it so wrong and why sackings seem to come with a smile these days. We get into the chaos of modern football ownership, debate who could (or should) fix Chelsea, and question whether the game’s lost the plot when failure comes with a £20M reward - before talking Player of the Year shouts, giving Bruno Fernandes his flowers, and exploring a huge moment in the game as Marie-Louise Eta makes history on the touchline.

    Who's your Player Of The Year? Let us know!

  • Is Mo Salah the Greatest African Player in Premier League History?

    Is Mo Salah the Greatest African Player in Premier League History?
    Apr 14 2026
    This week, we ask the big one: is Mohamed Salah actually the greatest African player in Premier League history? We debate Salah vs Yaya Touré (with Didier Drogba firmly in the mix), talk legacy, timing, and whether we’re taking greatness for granted while it’s right in front of us - before diving into discontinued snacks, building our ultimate 5-a-side, and uncovering some absolute forgotten gems along the way.

    We’ve also got a brand new partner on board this week - massive shout out to Huel!

    KSI Owns a Football Club… Is This Bad for Football?
    Mar 29 2026
