Armchair Gaffers

The Premier League is the gift that keeps on giving. Chelsea carry on where they left off last season by losing 3-1 to West Ham. It just goes to show that money won't always buy success. Tottenham Hotspur beat Manchester United in a comfortable 2-0 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Manchester United are terrible and in trouble. Brighton look like they could break into the top 4. Scary time...

We Back Baby. The Premier League and in fact, club football as a whole is back and so are your friendly neighbourhood Armchair Gaffers. Manchester City and Arsenal both got off to convincing wins in their respective pursuits of Premier League glory. The main question is, who can push them? At first glance, Newcastle United look good value for money after their humbling of Unai Emery's Aston Vi...

As expected, Manchester City beat Manchester United in FA Cup final to move one step closer to becoming only the second English team in history to win the fabled Treble. Surely it's just a formality? We also look at who we think has been the flop of the season as well as the manager of the year

It's official. Manchester City have won the Premier League for the third time in a row. Is Pep Guardiola's legacy now greater than Sir Alex Ferguson's? Arsenal did their best to push City all the way until game week 37 but alas they ran out of steam. The fight for the last two relegation places will go right down to the final day. Two of Everton, Leicester or Leeds could join the sorry...

What a way to go out. A 3-0 loss to Brighton at home. We have to admit that the crumble is in Arsenal's DNA. The boys can still be proud of themselves for amassing their highest points total in years and pushing City until the final couple of weeks. Elsewhere, Southampton were the first team to get relegated this season. Now we just need to see who will join them. Leicester and Everton look fa...

We Back Baby! The Premier League title race is still on. It's advantage Manchester City but Arsenal will be hoping and wishing that Guardiola's men will drop points somewhere in their next five games. At the other end of the table, it's just a matter of who will join Southampton in the Championship. Will it be Everton, Leicester, Leeds or someone else? Tune in for a full rundown of all...

Another sensational weekend of #premierleague football. Manchester City all but secured their 3rd league title in a row with a 2-1 win away at Fulham. Tottenham finally showed some mettle and staged a remarkable comeback at Anfield, only for Lucas Moura to gift Diogo Jota a last minute winner. Jota shouldn't have even still been on the pitch. Tune in for a full rundown of all the weekend's...

Tottenham Hotspurs aka Spurs have sunk to an all time low. Losing 6-1 to this Newcastle isn't so bad. But the manner of the loss, SHM! Being 5 nil down after 21 minutes is just unacceptable. We have to give Newcastle their credit because they played with rhythm and intensity but Spurs helped them along the way. What's better than to draws in a row? Three draws in a row. Instead of squander...

This is it. The beginning of the end for #Arsenal The bottle job has started. The crumble begins now. Twice in the last two matches, Arsenal have somehow given up a two goal lead and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory (Draws = Defeats at this stage of the season). Are their title hopes over? Bournemouth got their revenge on #Tottenham with an unexpected 3-2 win to make up for their surprise...

It was another fantastic weekend of #PremierLeague and #FACup football. There we're fireworks in both competitions. Antonio Conte lost the plot in his post match after Spurs threw away a 3-1 lead to draw 3-3 with bottom of the table Southampton. #Arsenal continued their march to their first league title in nearly 20 years with a routine win over managerless Crystal Palace. Manchester United be...

We Back Babyyy!!!! Another Monday so another Podcast. This week we touched on the BBC and Gary Lineker and all that mess going on over there.  We start the show with #Liverpool and their shock loss to bottom of the league Bournemouth. Is #VVD finished?  Arsenal look the real deal. They have all season  What does Jack Grealish do? _____________________________________________________...

We're not sure if it is Eric 7 Tag or Eric 7 Hag, but what we do know is that #ManchesterUnited were absolutely embarrassed by #Liverpool at Anfield. The red devils conceded SEVEN goals (six in the second half) but didn't even have the decency to respond with even one goal. #TenHagOut was trending on twitter yesterday by the way.  There were other games in the Premier League over the weekend:...

#ManchesterUnited beat Newcastle 2 - 0 in the mucg coveted Carabao Cup Final at Wembley Stadium to win their first trophy since 2016/17 and manager Eric Ten Hag's first piece of silver ware in his first season at the club Tottenham beat #Chelsea comfortably to firm up their grip on 4th spot in the #PremierLeague and at the same time heap more misery on #GrahamPotter and his struggling blues #Arsen...

#Chelsea are stinking out the league. It was cute when they were battling with Liverpool for mid-table supremacy, but now Liverpool look like they've sorted their act out and Chessy are still bleeding out.  #Arsenal meanwhile, look to have overcome their storm in a teacup and are back on top of the league thanks to a 4-2 win away at Villa and also thanks to #ManCity dropping two points away a...

Arsenal's title push is over. Manchester United are back in the title race.. again. Tottenham are terrible and Manchester City keep the pressure on league leader, Arsenal.  These were just some of the headlines in another eventful weekend of Premier League Action.  Elsewhere, Southampton finally sacked the imposter/worst manager in Premier League history in Nathan Jones.  Tune in fo...

You can't predict what will happen in the Premier League. That's why we love this game.  City and Arsenal both dropped points this week which leaves the state of play exactly as it was going in to match week 22  Liverpool are in freefall. Who knows how much worse it can get? I still don't think they've hit rock bottom. Klopp Out?  Chelsea still look short despite spending a King's r...

We Back Baby!!! Happy New Year you filthy Gaffers out there. Our New Year's resolution is more content!  On today's agenda:  Manchester City aren't the imperious tiki taka team that we think they are. Haaland is breaking records every week but #City are mainly breaking their fan's hearts  #Spurs are paying the price for conceding the first goal in pretty much every match they play &...

We Back Baby. The eternal words that herald the return of the fearsome foursome known simply as, The Armchair Gaffers.  Today we were joined by Sir Joel Beya of Cheeky Sport and  @5magazine    World Cup over, now it's back to business as usual. And that was the case for all the big hitters in the #premierleague  There were wins for #Arsenal #ManCity #Chelsea #Liverpoo...

Was this the best group stage ever? The shortest and most exciting group stage in the history of the #FIFA #WorldCup has come to a close. Some big names have crashed out and things will only get better from here. We've said goodbye to: #Germany, #Belgium and Roberto Martinez, #Ghana and their arch nemeses #Uruguay, #Spain we're out albiet briefly. Romelu #Lukaku the less said the better. And for t...

Today we were joined by a good friend of the show,  @The CNSR    Football's coming home it's coming home it's coming..! and #BukayoSaka is the guy that's going to bring it back. England demolished #Iran 6-2 as expected and even the naysayers haven't got much to say about: #GarethSouthGate his tactics, squad selection, nada! This match was giving very much Wakanda Forever vibes....

The final round of fixtures before the #WorldCup break was supposed to me a time to go out on a high but not for #Chelsea. Peter Drury described Chelsea's style of play as a new kind of Pressing - #Depressing and it's hard to argue. They lost their 3rd straight #PremierLeague match on the spin and head in to the World Cup in Qatar on their worst run of form in over 10 years.  #Newcastle on th...
