This is a chat about legacies. Jurgen Klopp leaves an eternal legend to Liverpool fans. But what about neutral and rival fans? What are Guardiola's Man City going to be really remembered for? How does the Arsenal fan base see their title charge? Plus, a catch-up on Ange and VAR, Fergal hospitalized, and Hungover Harry...

Chelsea's 5-0 win against West Ham has signaled that they have returned to the form we were used to seeing from them in the past, and while Cole Palmer has rightly made the headlines, there's another player that explains why they're suddenly good again. Ali, Fergal, and George walk you through Chelsea's tactical tweaks and secret weapons that made things click lately, propelling th...

Why didn't either team really go for it? Were they just not on form? Why did they play with 4 central defenders? Why is Gvardiol playing at left-back? Was his performance good, bad, or indifferent? Why were Arsenal content with a draw? Does that open the door for Liverpool now? And did Xabi Alonso take the right decision? And how utterly brilliant is Alexis Mac Allister, AKA Fergal's cousi...

England losing to Brazil and Wirtz scoring for France inside 8 seconds in Lyon? People raging over a tiny cross on a piece of fabric? None of our business lol Ali and Harry are back to discuss the biggest strength and weakness of their respective teams, joint-table-toppers Liverpool and Arsenal (the latter being actually top on goal difference).

Liverpool's children defeated the most expensive side of all time in Chelsea in one of the more impressive Jurgen Klopp successes with the club, and it's a perfect time to have Chelsea boys Fergal and George on the pod to reflect on a new failure, how it came about, and who's to blame.

Klopp to become the only manager to win a league against Pep twice. Pep to become the only manager to win the Premier League 4 times consecutively. Arteta to become the youngest Premier League-winning manager in history. One of those three things will happen. Harry's back [tw/@haznicoll]! The Arsenal part of the pod is in for the first time in 2024 to talk through a HUGE month for the Gunners,...

Chelsea were European Champions literally 2-and-a-half years ago. How on earth did the get here? 11th place and still sliding in the league, more losses than wins, more conceded than scored, unable to afford changing managers, and a mishmash of players too young, too old, or simply not good enough (yet) for the level. Fergal is FINALLY back, so we discuss Chelsea's downfall on today's show...

Jürgen Klopp is leaving Liverpool this summer. With the likes of Xabi Alonso, Julian Nagelsman, and Roberto De Zerbi already linked with taking the Liverpool hot seat in a few months, Ali (x/@tacticality) and Lewis ( @GoodSportReviews ) react to this sudden, seismic news, their ideal managerial replacements, and their favorite moments from the most successful period in Liverpool's modern histo...

Reacting to the wildest day of AFCON yet. Egypt 2-2 Cape Verde, Mozambique 2-2 Ghana, and Equatorial Guinea 4-0 Ivory Coast. JAFP on Spotify 🟢 JAFP on Apple Podcasts 🟣 JAFP on Twitter 🔵 JAFP on YouTube 🔴 JAFP on Instagram 📸

No Rodri, no Salah, and two players haven't even played this whole season. The goalkeeper on the XI isn't the one that won Best Goalkeeper yet again. Two players haven't even played since August. It's a 3-7 formation. We're here to slander it but if someone can explain it to us in the comments, we'd love it. On a better note, AFCON and Asia Cup are happening, and Ali (@Tact...

The penalty shout against Odegaard, the Tsimikas injury, and seemingly horror tackle towards the end from Saka on Gravenberch, were only a handful of a bizarre collection of slipping incidents in the biggest game of the season so far. Man United continue to hit new lows every week, and the content it's been providing the football world has been a blessing. A quick podcast to end the year round...

Liverpool broke a record number of shots and could've played for the rest of the weekend without scoring. Man City drew, and Arsenal won and are in pole position ahead of the JAFPDerby on Saturday: Top-of-the-table clash against Liverpool. MLS had a miserable week, the Club World Cup has a new format, and these two topics tell plenty about the bleak future of the game. JAFP on Spotify 🟢 JAFP...

Welcome to the recap of the funniest Premier League Weekend this season! Liverpool were the winners of the weekend and have gone top, and the results signified why they are there. A full JAFP house discusses why each contender's chances, the Christmas schedule, and why Chelsea and Man United are having a miserable season so far.

Draw at lowly Chelsea, draw at home against title challengers Liverpool, and draw against Spurs playing with a back line of fullbacks. Cracks. And Liverpool scoring 4 goal of the season contenders and finding the answers, again. Plus: Arsenal's win v Wolves was apparently their best performance, Serie A has heated up nicely, Bayern have been winning the Bundesliga since I was in middle school...

Liverpool's 1-1 draw at City tells us a great deal about a potential title race, Chelsea's 4-1 defeat to Newcastle tells us a great deal about their progress under Pochettino, the MLS playoffs tell us a great deal about the state of American soccer, and Sergio Ramos had the funniest moment of the week! Ali and Fergal are back after 2 weeks with a bumper episode. JAFP on Spotify 🟢 JAFP on...

#premierleague #chelsea #mancity #england #southgate Chelsea 4-4 Man City was the game of the season, but it tells us so much about the state of the league as a whole. Going into the Christmas run-in, the difference between first, Man City, and fifth, Aston Villa, is 3 points. Do the current top 5 build a five-way title race? Could the surprise "form PL team" mount a challenge to them? H...

We didn't plan on talking about Ballon d'Or too much in this episode, but not to mention the fact that women's award nominees couldn't show up because of internationals, and there's no women's equivalent to the Yashin Trophy, there's a whole list of reasons why the award itself is confusing and shouldn't be taken too seriously. We also played a little "who fini...

Arsenal's 2-2 draw away at Chelsea may have exposed midfield balance issues for the gunners, as well as a particular team selection tendency that has backfired for Arteta again. Chelsea losing a 2-goal lead wasn't idea either, considering their league position... Harry and Fergal reflect on their Desmond, Salah did something underrated, little Champions League preview follows, and a Short...

Refereeing in the VAR era has hit rock bottom this weekend after a legitimate Luis Diaz goal was, now infamously, disallowed. This, though, is not an episode to rant and bemoan the issues as much as provide sensible solutions. We also dissect the quite unbelievable Aston Villa 6-1 thrashing of Brighton, discuss both Manchester clubs losing, and wonder if Everton will ever win another game at Goodi...

Arsenal's 2-2 draw with Tottenham on Sunday prompts the scary question of whether the Gunners are actually able to compete with Man City again. A certain Arsenal fan has a bad feeling about this. Our resident Arsenal season ticket holder was unhappy with certain aspects of their performance and the opportunities they allowed James Maddison and Son Heung-min and the changes to buildup patterns,...

Manchester United's schooling at the hands of Brighton essentially opened a 3-way crisis: On-the pitch form sees them in 13th on a -4 goal difference while conceding more than once in 3 consecutive Prem games for the first time since 1979, while Ten Hag continues to come up with the strangest statements in defense of his team. Jadon Sancho is out of team training and there is no indication he...

The Jordan Henderson topic, calling up Harry Maguire and Kalvin Phillips, and playing James Maddison out of position were only 3 of a collection of hot topics that a once media-friendly England men's national team found itself having to deal with. Ireland lost again, and with it any chance of qualifying for the Euros is gone, and questions about its manager's future are now real. The USMNT...

A weekend that had a hat-trick of hat-tricks was dominated by storylines from Arsenal's late win over Man United, and one Evan Ferguson, whose treble triggered much conversation already over what his next move is gonna be. A brand new segment on the show is dedicated entirely to him. JAFP on Spotify 🟢 JAFP on Apple Podcasts 🟣 JAFP on Twitter 🔵 JAFP on YouTube 🔴 BRAND NEW INSTAGRAM! 📸
