Armchair Gaffers

Continental Corner this week is dominated by the events of last week's Champions League Quarter Final 1st Legs and what we expect from this weeks 2nd leg matches. We also run through the title races in the top five European leagues. In this week's short and snappy Final 3rd we look at some players that are just MAD FAST. Because that's all that matters in football right? We then go through a few o...

#PremierLeague #MatchWeek31 Another mouthwatering weekend of English Premier League football. There was action at both ends of the table. City suffered a shock loss to Leeds thanks to two well taken Stuart Dallas goals. Adama Traore got his fist goal of the season to sink Fulham and silence Jess. And Ole's boys were just too good for a lacklustre Spurs. Tune in for a rundown of all the action from...

CONTINENTAL CORNER IS BACK! We know you guys missed us this last week but despair no more for we are back. And what a Conti Corner we have. This week we round up the title races across Europe's top five leagues. Before we get there, we look ahead to this week's #ChampionsLeague quarter finals. We have four mouth-watering ties to look forward to and as such Continental Jesse conducts a Champions Le...

It seems like forever but the ACG #PremierLeague Weekend Reaction is back. The game of the weekend was definitely #Chelsea 5-2 loss at home to Big Sam's Baggies. #Arsenal vs #Liverpool always produces goals and this game didn't disappoint - even if Arsenal did. They didn't turn up and Liverpool didn't have to do much to get three goals and three points. #ManCity showed why they sit top of the leag...

As is tradition during the international break, there's not much going on and therefore not much to talk about and were very close to taking a break this week ourselves but no! Come rain, sleet or snow we will find something for our loyal Armchair Gaffers. So this week we thought we'd look at things happening off the pitch and discuss a few things that we don't always have time to expand up on. We...

In this week's instalment of the ever so popular ACG Final 3rd we do a general knowledge "IQ" test to deem who the most intelligent gaffer is once and for all. The online polls are pretty pointless because they're obviously just based on popularity. Join in and let us know how you get on!

#EnglandSquad #PremierLeague This week's weekend review is mainly focused on Gareth Southgate's (GS6). As a whole, the squad is what many would expect it to be but there are a few inclusions that raised eyebrows in some quarters and a few omission that may have certain players thinking if what they have to do to appease GS6. We also take an ever so brief look at the four games that were played in...

#PremierLeague Matchweek 27 Review. This week we were blessed with another entertaining North London Derby in which Arsenal came out on top. They looked the better side throughout and Tottenham did come alive until they were down to 10 men. Manchester City continue to do Manchester City things and Leicester put FIVE past managerless Sheffield United. Tune in for a full round up of what Happened on...

#DerKlassiker was exactly what we expect when giants collide. BVB took an early two goal lead thanks to Earling "The Goden Boy" Haaland but Robert "The Ruler" Lewandowski had the last laugh with a hatrick to secure all three points for the Bavarians. In Spain, Barca closed the gap to leaders Atletico to 3 points after their 2-0 win at Osassuna due to Real and Atleti playing out a 1-1 draw in Le De...

#PremierLeague match week27 round up! Better late than never. Where else do we begin? Liverpool of course! Just when you thought things could not get any worse they somehow managed to lose 1-0 at home to Fulham. Anfield seems to be cursed at the moment. But it was good news for Scott Parker and Fulham who are ow level on points with Brighton. We also look at the Manchester Derby. Most of us though...

#LaLiga is back up for grabs. Yes, Atletico are still top with games in hand but their grip is loosening ever so slightly. #Bundesliga is most definitely a two horse race at the top of the table - Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig charge on. BVB are far too inconsistent and too far behind to be considered serious contenders. However, they could influence the title race in the stand out fixture next wee...

#PremierLeague Game Week 26 Review. It did threaten to be a boring weekend of Premier League football after Saturday's less than exciting score lines, with only 7 goals being scored across the four games. Luckily though, Sunday's games came to the rescue. First of all and somewhat surprisingly, Arsenal came from a goal down away a Leicester to win 3-1. The bigger story though, is that Pepe AND Wil...

We take another low budget flight across Europe and summarise what's happened on the continent this week. Inter came out on top in the Milan Derby thanks to goals from Lukaku and Lauturo Martinez and as a result are now top of Serie A by four points. The title race in Spain could now be a three horse race after Atleti lost 2-0 at home to Levante, Barca drew 1-1 with Cadiz while Real Madrid scrappe...

This week we are joined by the Wicked and Bad @Grim Sickers for another fantastic round of Premier League football. Everton managed to break their 20 year hoodoo and finally win a match at Anfield and further compound Jurgen Klopp's woes. Man City, as expected, beat Arsenal. But what we didn't expect was for the game to be so tight and to be decided by a Raheem Sterling headed goal. Chelsea contin...

In this week's Conti Corner, the lads do the usual round up of all the major European leagues. BVB are still having a stinker in the German Bundesliga and Bayern Munich just secured the league title for the next 4 years at least by poaching Dayot Upamecano from close rivals RB Leipzeig. AC Milan and Juve both lost while Inter won and climbed to the top of the table. No body wants to win the French...

Another action packed round of English Premier League football. Jurgen Klopp conceded the title after his Liverpool team we beaten in seven second half minutes of shame by Leicester. Elsewhere, United could get past a dogged WBA and had to settle for a share of the points. We did plan on having an angry Arsenal fan call in in protest of everything that is going on at their club but Arsenal let us...

Not gonna lie, Europe was a bit dead this week. Routine wins for all most of the big boys apart from BVB who are having a STINKER of a season. Demarai Gray scored on his Bayern 04 debut though! Another "Brit Abroad" doing his thing! In the more laid back segment of our show, we segway from one random topic to another random topic. We start discussing the recent "out-flux" of British players and co...

In this week's blockbuster, roller coaster, whirlwind of a show; we first look at what was billed as the title decider between Liverpool and Manchester City. Believe it or not but Liverpool have now lost three games at Fortress Anfield in one season - Madness. We also look at Manchester United vs Everton and have a Manchester United fan call in and give his take on the state of things at Old Traff...

We start this week's Continental Corner by looking at the mess Real Madrid find themselves in - how much longer does Zidane have? We have our weekly Atletico Madrid and Suarez segment, alongside the rest of our European round up In this week's final 3rd we each pick our favourite team of all time. Will it be Barca 2008, AC Milan 2007, The Invincibles of 2004? Who knows. Before we started though, w...

Match week 21 in the premier league was as exciting as usual and the table is finally starting to resemble something more familiar. Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool occupy first, second and third respectively. Thomas Tuchel gets his first win as Chelsea boss. West Ham meet their match against a back in form Liverpool. Spurs looked hopeless without Harry Kane. Bielsa ball finally pa...

Our usual European football review followed by or Final 3rd segment where we discuss former players who have returned to their clubs as managers

This season’s Premier League looks as wide open as ever before as it arrives at its halfway stage. Eleven teams have now played 19 of their 38 games, with 184 out of 380 matches in the books overall. With only six points separating the top four in the table and eight points covering the top seven, this is one of the closest ever races for the title and Champions League places.

Somehow we managed to board our weekly Ryanair flight around Europe despite all UK travel corridors being closed - it's all about who you know. We have a quick look at Real Madrid and the prospect of Zidane leaving. Can Atleti hold on for the league or will a resurgent Barca usurp them. Inter beat Juve to cement their grip on 2nd place in La Liga, just behind AC. Business as usual in Germany and w...

We round up all the major goings on in game week 18 of the English Premier League. We look at what was billed as the "Game of the Season", with 1st vs. 2nd - The North West Derby - Liverpool vs United. Big Sam gets his first win. The Hammers go marching on. And Chelsea finally end their run of poor form, albeit against a 10 man and lacklustre Fulham. Plus all the rest! Enjoy and be sure to Like, S...
