The Full Kit Banter Podcast

After the most traumatic of weeks for Manchester City, Pep Guardiola found a silver lining as his side took full advantage after Liverpool's draw with Tottenham to go 3 points clear at the summit of the Premier League as well as take a 4 goal advantage in goal difference. The draw for Tottenham, although good in the grand scheme of things, saw them fall further behind Arsenal but do still have the...

Gabriel Jesus stole the headlines this weekend with a four goal and one assist haul against struggling Watford to keep Manchester City top of the table. Liverpool, thanks in part to the legendary Divock Origi, did their part to keep pace after overcoming rivals Everton - who sink further into the relegation mire. Arsenal also started the weekend with a massive win over Manchester United, who truly...

Sadio Mané guided Liverpool to their first FA Cup Final in a decade and will meet the team who beat them on that fateful night in 2012, Chelsea. This will be the 4th meeting between the sides this season, having already contested the EFL Cup Final. Champions Man City will dust themselves off as they set their sights on a League and UCL double, and will be hoping neighbours Manchester United can pu...

Man City and Liverpool shared the spoils at the Etihad this past weekend, and while the result feels like a good one for City, it's one that they could be rueing come the end of the season. Liverpool, who were outplayed for large spells of the game, will just be glad that the gap to City did not stretch to 4 points, but may have lost their biggest chance to reel in the champions. Elsewhere, Everto...

The Premier League is back after the International Break, and with its return comes several twists and turns. We also give our thoughts on two massive games coming up at both ends of the table, it truly is All or Nothing!

On this week's episode, the FKB boys give our best starting XI's (that we've seen play) from our respective clubs as we once again take a trip down memory lane in this near 3 hour special!

On this weeks episode, we take a closer look at the quarter-final matchups in the UCL and give our predictions on who'll come out on top. Also, with Arsenal in that 4th and final coveted UCL spot in the Premier League, we take a look at their chances of returning back to Europe's elite club competition. And with the news that Argentine forward Paulo Dybala will not be staying at Juventus, we take...

Crystal Palace held on for a massive point against Man City, with Liverpool's midweek visit to Arsenal now taking on even more significance. Elsewhere, CR7 fired Man United to a big win over fellow top 4 chasers Spurs, breaking another record in the process. FKB also looks ahead to a shortened Premier League fixture list this weekend, with some of the big hitters away on FA Cup duty.

The noisy neighbours have done it again with City pulling off yet another dominant display against a disheveled United. Different manager, same result. Will the reds ever figure this one (maguire) out? With double goals from De Bruyne and Mahrez, it's Phil Foden that steals the show much to United's woes. Elsewhere, Arsenal's star boys shine a bright light on the future of the gunners. 

Liverpool are your 2021/22 Carabao Cup Champions after a tense, controversial and quite frankly brilliant match. Both sides played their hearts out and Chelsea certainly can feel aggrieved that one of their several offside goals was ruled out. More VAR woes as Everton were denied a stonewall penalty against league leaders Man City, while Manchester United dropped two points as they could not put a...

A stormy weekend in England was capped off by a barn-storming performance by Harry Kane, against the club that had flirted with him all summer. Spurs edged Manchester City in a dramatic finale at the Etihad stadium to breathe new life in this seasons title race, as well as keep their own top 4 hopes on track. Liverpool were made to sweat against Norwich, as Luis Diaz got his first goal for the clu...

(This episode was recorded before Manchester United vs Brighton & the Midweek Champions League Fixtures) After another lacklustre performance against Southampton, more questions are being asked of the Red Devils as problems off it also threaten to derail their chase for the top 4. Elsewhere, Liverpool ground out an important win against stubborn Burnley ahead of their Champions League first-le...

After a short Lunar New Year break, FKB is back to talk about some of the biggest and most interesting transfers in January. Who were the biggest winners and losers? And what sort of ripple effect will these moves have?

Water is wet, fire burns and Watford sack managers. Claudio Ranieri was the latest to face the axe at Vicarage road after a chastening 3-0 defeat at home to fellow strugglers Norwich, who seem to have found a new lease on life after back to back wins. In their way however are nouveau riche Newcastle who got all three points against Leeds at the weekend. Everton's sacking of Rafael Benitez did not...

After a tepid display against runaway leaders Man City, Chelsea's focus now must surely be on keeping the chasing pack at bay. A brilliant Kevin De Bruyne strike sealed the points, but the performance of his Belgian teammate, Romelu Lukaku, left alot to be desired. Also, Manchester United were  pegged back by a returning Philippe Coutinho, Liverpool saw off Brentford without 2 of their famed...

With the January transfer window now open, we discuss what some clubs need in terms of new recruits. Newcastle are on the tip of everyones tongue and made their first signing in Kieran Trippier after their monstrous takeover in October 2021. But with potential relegation looming, will players be put off in joining the Magpies? Manchester United's troubles on the pitch have also been widely documen...

It's that time in the season again where FKB picks a starting 11 who has shined brightest at the halfway mark of the 21/22 season. Did you agree with our picks? Do most of these players continue their fine form until the seasons conclusion?

FKB's Liverpool correspondent discusses the Reds' demoralising defeat to Leicester and whether talk of the title race being over at the end of December is justified

VAR was again at the forefront of controversy as Liverpool and Tottenham played out an entertaining 2-2 draw. While the Reds were lucky to see their opponents squander some great chances, they too were left frustrated by decisions that seemed to go against them. Elsewhere, Covid-hit Chelsea were held to draws by Everton and Wolves, leaving fans wondering if their matches should have been postponed...

In a gameweek that was decided on several occasions from the penalty spot, FKB talks about what each of the title chasers may be missing despite taking all 3 points. Also during the pod was a live-draw of this season's UCL Round of 16 matchups. Well, the re-draw atleast! 

He's done it again. Divock Origi came through once again for Liverpool when they needed him most to leapfrog Chelsea in the table into 2nd place, after the Blues suffered a late defeat to West Ham. Manchester City continue to roll as they took top spot in the league for the first time this season, while neighbours United got off to a winning start under Ralf Rangnick. 

Ralf Rangnick is the new interim (we throw this word around alot in this ep) boss of Manchester United, and we're certain that he was paying close attention as the Red Devils took a point from Stamford Bridge this past weekend. The much maligned Jadon Sancho got the goal, but another major talking point was Cristiano Ronaldo's omission from the starting lineup. How will the 'Godfather of Gegenpres...

After a rollercoaster tenure as Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been sacked. Where does the club go from here after a torrid display against Watford? With UCL qualification confirmed, the Red Devils can turn their attention back to climbing up the Premier League table but with league leaders Chelsea next, they have their work cut out for them. Elsewhere, Liverpool dispatched Ar...

With the International break putting a halt to all the Premier League goodness this past weekend, we turned our attention to three managers set to make debuts with new clubs, with one particular Scouse legend set to turn many heads at Villa Park.

Join our resident Blue @yushern once again for another episode of HHHT as he shares his thoughts on how Fenway Sports Group has been handling Liverpool. Things at Anfield have been rosey for the most part in recent years, but how much of this was actually down to those in power at board level at LFC?
