Football Is Fixable, Alright?!

Can you believe that the premierleague champions lost 3 games in a row??? Of course you can, because it also happened to Man City the season before. However, some call this a crisis that threatens to ruin Liverpool's hopes of retaining their title. Can the boys paper over the cracks? You'll have to listen to find out... alright?! #Football #Liverpool #Premierleague #Salah #Arsenal #Everton #Manche...

How biased are you? Take a look in the mirror and really ask yourself whether you are able to put irrational bias aside and look at the sport of football objectively. Not easy, is it? James and Dan spend this episode drilling into Ces the importance of irrational bias to intensify the enjoyment of the game! It may sound impossible, but they can do it... alright?! #football #premierleague #bias #ar...

The Oxford English Dictionary defines 'Genius' as "an exceptionally intelligent person or one with exceptional skill in a particular area of activity". When you hear this, James sees only one name - the Everton legend of Mikel Arteta. Is he truly a genius for making Arsenal once again a force to be reckoned with, as well as regular title challengers? Or is he a young manager that's spent more than...

Michael Owen once said of Memphis Depay - "he LOOKS like a footballer!" and Owen has been ridiculed relentlessly ever since for this clear and obvious comment. Yet the boys look deeper into this topic, as Owen's comment may not have been as silly as it sounds. As proven in our previous series, player names make a big difference with overall performance, and this episode provides more evidence of w...

World Cup Qualifiers are an unnecessary disruption to the start of the new league season. In this episode, we present much better alternatives and try our very best to remain professional for an entire episode in Ces’s absence. But when that fails, we scramble to hide the evidence... This could get messy, but it was worth it, alright?! #premierleague #worldcup #fifaworldcup #arsenal #manchesteruni...

Are you tired of players refusing to train to force a move out of their club?

Manchester United are still the biggest club in England, but there will soon come a time that their lack of success will catch up with them. What will happen to future prospective United fans? Will they turn to other more successful teams and give up on the Red Devils? The boys decide to step in and fix the issue that could lessen the power of Manchester United, which sounds impossible, but it's i...

The Big Six... or should they be more aptly considered The Untouchables? How are the other clubs meant to compete with the buying power of these giants, especially with the restraints put on them by the Profit & Sustainability Rules? Can this be solved by the boys so the gap between the top and bottom clubs can be closed? You'll have to find out... alright?! #premierleague #football #soccer #arsen...

The new Premier league season is well and truly underway, and there are several new rules to get your heads around! But are the new additions actually necessary? Do they solve the problems that football has suffered in recent years? Have we been crying out for these rules at all? The boys delve into this subject with the professionalism that you have all come to expect, and even create rules of th...

This is it! As the Premier League season rests for the summer, so shall the FIF,A?! Podcast team. The boys look back at the successes of their own performances, and Ces and James finally focus on the probation situation of their latest addition to the FIF,A?! family... Dan. We hope you enjoyed our podcast this season, and hope that you will join us in August as we continue our efforts to fix footb...

The end of the season is finally upon us and it’s time to select the true winners of this year’s football awards.

Are Man City a big club, or a successful club? Do Spurs and Man United deserve to be considered top clubs? Is Everton relevant enough to be mentioned in this episode? These are the big questions that the boys recognise to be urgent, whether or not they were ever asked. You may think your team is a big club, but they may not be after this episode... alright?! #football #big6 #premierleague #logic #...

Aren't some football fans fickle? We all know someone that thrives on recency bias, or chops and changes their opinion faster than Boris Johnson, and in this week's episode, the boys attempt to tackle the hot-headedness of these people. It may all seem futile, but it's fixable... alright?! #football #premierleague #soccer Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Have you ever wondered why Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Aguero and Ronaldinho reached such great heights in football? It's because of their fantastic names, and the boys take a deep dive into how names can directly correlate to the successes and failures on the pitch. This may seem like an unusual subject, but it will make sense in the end... alright?! #football #soccer #premierleague #fyp Learn more...

Ever felt football is over-analysed? Is there really much more needed than "they need to score 1 more goal than the other team", or "that team played better than the team that lost"? Or should the beautiful game be broken down into a science, requiring expert analysis? Dan and James dive deep into this topic, analysing the issue with a fine tooth comb and making sure no stone is left unturned. Can...

It's time for yet another big debate, and this time it's a battle between the OG members of James and Ces! As with previous debates, the contestants must swap sides and defend the opposing point of view. This means that the obsessive Arsenal fan in James must defend Bayer Leverkusen's Invincible season, and the lover of all things German in Ces must defend Arsenal's Invincibles. This may yet be a...

Feel the need for a new episode? Well, keep your shirt on, as we take you through a discussion about shirts! Are football shirts all a bit boring and all similar to each other? Are most people being out-priced from buying new shirts? Do we really need a new shirt every year? These are all questions that many people have never asked us, but we're willing to answer anyway. You can rest assured that...

There's a big following of Flat Earthers, Moon landing deniers and many other conspiracies, and football is no different! From ref briberies to World Cup hosting voter fraud, the boys tackle the hard hitting questions that no one ever asked about conspiracies within the beautiful game.

With the opening of the new Everton stadium next season, and the fresh designs for a new Manchester United stadium unveiled, it's time for the boys to fix the topic of stadiums! Why are there suddenly new stadiums being built? What are the positives and negatives? Can the boys manage to marry together both the progression as well as the traditional soul of football? Well strap in and find out... a...

In a world where Liverpool can be 15 points in the lead in the Premier League and STILL be considered lucky, who better to defend their honour from a disgruntled Arsenal and overly-biased Man United fan, than a humble Evertonian with clearly no bias towards their long-standing rivals? This one may be a fix for the ages... alright?! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoic...

It is a period of civil war! Where once Ces was the last Jedi to advocate for VAR, has he finally been tempted by the dark side? Where once James rebelled against the forces of VAR, has he finally seen the light? The boys also finally have proof that their ideas are being stolen by the FIFA Empire! But these thefts may actually be a good thing... alright?! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit p...

The unstoppable force of Sir Alex Ferguson faces up against the immovable object of Josep Guardiola, as the two titans battle for ultimate bragging rights. Dan and James must put aside their own biases to use the podcast’s methods of logic and reasoning, which may sound impossible, but they can do it… alright?! Learn more about...

What do we think of Tottenham? Are they still a top team, or are they a team that should be compared to the likes of Everton, or dare I say it, Manchester United? Does the owner deserve the blame aimed at him, or are on-field issues unrelated to what's going on behind the curtains? Will James be able to put aside his North London bias? Will Dan be able to ignore their relegation battle? Will Ces b...

We don't say this lightly when we exclaim that this is the big one! We've seen far too much discrimination in football to know that something needs to be done about it. A serious topic like this needs serious people to really dig into the issue and find a solution... but as they're not doing anything, it's up to Ces and James to do it instead. It may seem overwhelming, but we can handle it... alri...
