Unseen Incidents with Patrick and Pete

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents. The summer transfer market has gone crazy, with seemingly every player quoted at £100m or more, so today we’re running through some of the blockbuster moves we might see and asking whether those players are worth the price. Why is everyone thirsting for Julian Alvarez? Is Elliot Anderson as good a prospect as Declan Rice? We l...

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents. This week we’re looking back at our worst transfer XIs from the autumn, to see what we got wrong and what we got right. How do we judge someone like Gyokeres? Are United fans deluded about Cunha? And is Mateus Fernandes not only good, but worth the £85m West Ham want for him? Then we open up the Burn Book, this week discussing...

Hey everyone and welcome back to Unseen Incidents! The games are coming fast now, and unfortunately we have to return to Spurs again, to talk about their risky appointment of Roberto de Zerbi. The Italian is undoubtedly talented and has a track record of attractive and effective attacking football, but does he make sense for Tottenham right now? What are the real requirements for a manager aiming...

What’s up everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents! On this week’s show, we’re getting into the problem which is the Premier League team of the season.

We pick our favourites from keeper to striker, discussin...

What's up everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents. We’re returning to Tottenham this week, who now look in serious danger of the drop after a succession of bad results and red cards. What would relegation do to the club?

Hello and welcome back to Unseen Incidents! This week we're taking on the big question: are Arsenal about to bottle it? The Gunners have been here before, but we dig into their previous title challenges, their current form, and our questions around Arteta's tactics to ask how concerned fans should be, and how the club can solidify its grip on the 25/26 trophy. Then we get into the Burn Book, with...

Hey everyone, and thanks for joining us for another episode of Unseen Incidents. This week, we're answering a question on the worst transfers of the last five years. It feels like the big swings at the top of the market have got safer, and there are fewer busts than there used to be, but what makes for a disaster signing? Why do Chelsea and Manchester United make so many? And how are some big flop...

Hey everyone, and thanks for joining us for another episode of Unseen Incidents. This week, we're taking a look at the best Premier League players in every position this season.

Hey everyone, and thanks for joining us for another episode of Unseen Incidents. This week, we're reviewing all last summer's big striker signings and ranking them from SLAM DUNK to OH GOD.

How bad have Sesko and Gyokeres been? And wh...

Hey everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents!

Hey everyone, and welcome to another episode of Unseen Incidents! Today we’re using a listener question about Ollie Watkins’ drop-off this season to look at three players struggling for form, and another, Antoine Semenyo, whose underlying stats are not matching up to his real goal and assist numbers. Which one is a better representation of the player, and what do we make of his rumoured £65m buyou...

What’s up everyone and welcome back to Unseen Incidents. This week we’re asking whether Manchester United have turned the corner and are finally good - or at least ok - again. We dig deep into their style and personnel under Amorim, and discuss how much the coach has changed, and what worries us about the adaptations that are currently working for the Red Devils, as well as the next steps required...

What’s up everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents! On this week’s show, we’re swapping players between Premier League clubs in an attempt to improve both parties. We can all see how Gvardiol could help Liverpool, but why does Pete think Wirtz would solve City’s problems? And which Liverpool midfielder would make sense for Spurs, and why is Destiny Udogie more promising tha...

What’s up everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents!
