The Hooligan's Pitch

The lads are match fit and most of the EPL isn't. We have been seeing managers have to go deep into their second unit to help the first team. Chad and Michael talk domestic footy to get us started, then leap into the Arteta questionnaire, followed by complicated Matchday 17!

Chad coming at you with a solo podcast as Michael is feeling under the weather, just like Manchester United. Bournemouth has been showing the EPL in recent weeks that they need to plan for or else you will feel the wrath of the Cherries. Liverpool get the job done against Crystal Palace and are now top of the league all thanks to Aston Villa and Emery taking down the Gunners!

Matchday 15, midweek edition! We thought we would come at you with a little Thursday evening episode because we got everything we wanted out of our matches this week. A Rice winner, Liverpool grinding it out, Aston Villa climbing to third, and City dropping points! What more could we ask for?!

Every time I'm on the pitch, I hear yakyakyakyak. Well, maybe that's what was ringing through Simon Hooper's head when he blew the worst whistle of all time. City drops points but oh the controversy! Liverpool only scored bangers this week with an epic comeback on Fulham, and our American boy Jedi Robinson has been wheeling and dealing!

Week 13 coming at us fast and we can now say the top 4 are likely here to stay. With a new top-of-the-table leader, Arsenal looks to fight on throughout the winter months on top. Everton are hit with a massive 10-point victory after Michael declared them safe from relegation just two weeks ago. Corruption lives on in the EPL!

Episode 50! We made it and an OG is joining us for the party. In this episode, we dive into the Chelsea vs. Man City match-up that left us with an 8-goal thriller. Could this be the game that drives Chelsea up the table? We also discuss Man United possibly being 6th best, Haaland needing to be fed more, and the Spurs cooling off fast.

Well, this sure was a weekend of football. Between Arsenal losing, Sheffield winning, and Liverpool squeaking by with a point, it's safe to say match day 11 was not for us. In this pod, we talk about Bruno G and his violent conduct, Chelsea beating the undefeated, and Sac Republic Bowing out.

10 games in the book and boy do we have a rant for you. With the Manchester Derby catching everyone's attention, so did VAR (again) and their antics. The top of the table was unphased, but we are seeing shaky games from Westham & Brighton.

Matchday 9 with the Spurs still leading the way! To kick off the weekend we had Liverpool and Everton go at it in the Merseyside Derby, Man City showing Brighton who is still the boss, Manchester United struggling against the bottom, and Arsenal coming back 2-0 for the point against Chelsea!

Matchday 8 and the champions have now lost 2 in a row, with this loss coming against the charging Arsenal team. We saw most of the top 8 teams come away with a draw this weekend, while the bottom of the table duked it out and had a little movement. With Chelsea scoring more goals than they have all year in one match, are they on the rise? Man U getting 2 from Lord McTominay in the final minutes to...

Matchday 7 is in the books for the EPL and oh my, it was a doozie. Where the goals are made up and the points don't matter, VAR shook the community with their lackadaisical approach to the Spurs vs. Liverpool match and now this technology needs a revamp fast! Man City finally dropped points and the league thanks Jose Sa and the Wolves, while Luton Town got their first EPL victory!

We back! We've both been busy boys, but had some time for a late hydration and chat! The table is splitting into two very quickly with teams making it very clear on their season direction. The North London Derby was a tug-of-war, with Liverpool getting it done against the Hammers, and the Robot / Man City staying perfect this season! Week 6 is in the bag!

Hattricks all around! Ferguson, Haaland, and Son all need to take a bow for their stellar performance this weekend. We had our boy Matty T get his first EPL clean sheet against Chelsea, Liverpool winning in dominant fashion, and Arsenal providing a thriller heading into the international break!

Natural Selection has occurred and Newcastle has officially been Darwizzied! Two late goals from the Liverpool 10-sided squad took down the Zebras in a potential match of the year. We have also discovered that just because you are down a man doesn't mean you are out!

You get a red! You get a red! And YOU! Get a red, too. This seemed to be the theme of week 2 in the EPL. With some great matches in week 2, we are catching glimpses of City not being Champion like, Tottenham performing with their all-time best, and Spain winning the Women's World Cup!

It is the 1 year anniversary of the Hooligan's Pitch Podcast! Thank you all for being here and we hope to continue with our movement! But onto what's happening down under...USA out, Canada out, Germany....out! Teams that expected to go deep have bounced out early while the likes of Japan, Spain, and England look hungry. We discuss the premier league starting this Friday and Messi is becoming the M...

WE"RE BACK! Summer is in full swing and so are the women out in Australia and New Zealand. The top 16 teams are taking care of business, with only a few hiccups, but the main topic of conversation is will the USWNT 3peat? The Goat has arrived in Miami, bringing out Beckham tears and Lebron James hugs.

The EPL has ended, but the European Football season is still going strong! We have the clash between Inter Milan and Manchester City this Saturday. Will City finally get the trophy that has been looming over their golden era? Chad and Michael discuss the transfer rumors, the Saudi League becoming China 2.0 or MLS, and the legend himself, Zlatan retiring.

The EPL season is over! Man City took the cake, and Everton hang on for dear life, all while Chad and Michael share their favorite moments of the season and pass out grades to all the premier league teams!

Reality is setting in for the top and bottom half of the EPL table. With Southampton officially relegated, where do they go next? The Seagulls took down the Gunners in a passionate 3-0 victory, and Chelsea has a new man in charge....again.

11 days later, and here we are! Chad and Michael go over the 47 goals scored in the last week, including the Jota revenge goal, Odegaard's pin-point cornered goals, and Everton figuring out how to finish!

It's Midnight! Michael & Chad decided to do a late-night episode from the crazy week we had starting with the City vs. Arsenal game that we've all been waiting for, Liverpool sneaking by, and could Chelsea really fall to the bottom?

Arsenal getting their third draw in a row, Man City creeping closely behind, Tottenham getting absolutely cooked, and a bit of a shift near the bottom as Chad and Michael discuss Match Day 32.

Only seven matches left! In this episode, Bournemouth got their redemption, the 3,4,5,6,7,8 spots will be shifting in the next weeks, Michael declares Crystal Palace is not a bottom-three team, and Chad stays cool about Arsenal's title chances.

After Chad and Michael hyped up the Liverpool v. Arsenal match all week, we think the clubs delivered one of the more exciting matches we've had this year dispute the draw. We saw great goals, lots of yellow cards, managers hugging while looking exhausted, and a linesman who wanted violence! We talk relegations, Frankie L's Chelsea return, and the top 4 staying true? Listen and find out!
