What more could we ask for in Matchweek 2 than VAR controversy? Newcastle had it out for Neto. Andrew shares what he thought of this week's kits. And we talked way too much at the beginning, sorry to the last few games, we promise we love you just as much!

Jamie Vardy is back and up to his old Red Bull fuelled antics!! The Premier League offered some great goals, great games, and some unfortunate situations. We wish Danilo all the best and hope Mosquera found what he was looking for ;)

We are back! Just in time for the start of the '24-'25 season. Welcome to our returning listeners and for anyone just joining us, we're glad to have you! First episode means we make our top four predictions and relegation picks (sorry Forest, it's your time). We also spend time roasting Chelsea and hit on some hot news items.

That's a wrap on the 23/24 season and while we agree it wasn't boring, it was predictable. Congrats to the newcomers this upcoming season and so long to our relegated clubs. Congrats to United for winning the FA Cup (somehow) and City for topping the Premier League, even if you're doing so illegally. Can't wait to be with you next PL season!

Haaland is back on top of the goal-scoring list. It's City's title to lose at this point. We have battles going on at the top and bottom of the table. What an end to the season we have coming up, no one could have prepared us for all this madness!

These last 11 games are so crucial for Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City. If any team loses it's going to seriously cause a stir in the race for 1st place. We are still waiting to hear what kind of deductions are going to be made for Forest and Everton (potentially) due to FFP. City has again, gone quiet in that regard. And the hunt for European competition is well and truly underway.

The title race is well and truly on! Only 1-2 points separates our top three teams with 12 matches left. Could Aston Villa upset anyone in the top three? We've seen some big upsets this season, so anything is possible. Oh, and Klopp wins the "Most special trophy in 20 years." Which he called a pointless, tin-cup last year. Funny how things change when you don't get knocked out ea...

The Norwegian cyborg is back and picked up right where he left off. Well, Arsenal can score goals when they need to. The title race just keeps getting hotter and hotter. And if we've learned one thing from this weekend, don't celebrate your wins too early. Looking at you Aston Villa...

In shocking news, someone is leaving the Premier League at the end of the season! Fun facts and tangents galore! We have some world-class games from last weekend to talk about. And Toney is back and scoring, as Mateo predicted.

What an episode we have in store! Pundits are hilarious when they react to games, just like Andrew and Mateo... KDB is back and it's like he never left the City lineup. Sterling loves a good dive, especially in the box. United have no identity, but at least got some goals on Sunday. And who needed to control their hands? At this point, we aren't sure.

On today's episode, we make end-of-season predictions based on the mid-season table. Give a little bit of information about players leaving for the AFCON and ASIA Cups. And a couple of teams are getting some firepower back in their lineups, listen and you may find out who!

We are back! We hope everyone enjoyed the international break and the start of their Holiday Season. What a wild couple of weekends we've had in the Premier League! Upsets aplenty, teams back to their winning ways, and Haaland stubbed his big toe...Allegedly. Enjoy!

We have another matchweek full of VAR controversy. Are teams slipping or just having a bad game? And records aplenty - players and teams are providing Premier League firsts, some good and some bad. Listen along for all the fun news!

Being a Manchester United fan is hard for Andrew right now, but he doesn't hurt anymore because it's expected, like the Tottenham of old (but really recent). City get away with basically anything they like these days. The Chelsea boys still need time to get it together and the relegated 3 is looking more and more cemented every week.

We have a couple of new things we are going to give to you weekly; some betting "advice" (please gamble responsibly, we are not liable for any losses you may take. However, if you do win, we require 10%) and Upset of the Week! Haaland is back to scoring form. 9 matches in and I don't think I would have called the top half of the table as it sits. CIty might have real competition for...

As usual, we talk for far too long about many things. Winning the lottery, being the official podcast for the Fifa World Cup, and the Premier League. Our weekend recap is chock-full of laughs, awkward pauses, and games we thought were kind of boring. But hey, City lost again and all our teams won, so we're all happy on this Podcast!

City falls to the Wolf Pack. VAR has an unprecedented blunder in the Tottenham v Liverpool match. Brighton gets scored on, A LOT by Aston Villa. Luton Town got their first (hopefully not last) win in Premier League history at the cost of Mateo's Everton. This and more on this week's episode before an exciting weekend of matches!

Welcome back from the international break! Somehow, Liverpool has flown under the radar up to second place in the Premier League. Chelsea needs to trust in the process with Poch and not sack him too early. United can still make up ground. Plus, we think the relegation battle is pretty much set in stone.

This week we give you the low-down on the top and bottom of the table. Talk about some surprises that we didn't see coming at the start of the season. Get into an argument about VAR and Manchester United (don't worry, we're alright). And last but not least, we still don't think Havertz is worth the money.
