Unseen Incidents with Patrick and Pete

We’re back for another episode of the Unseen Incidents podcast, and this week we’re following up the Kylian Mbappe news with a discussion of his move to Real Madrid and PSG’s post-superstar prospects. How does this affect their squad-building? Are Osimhen, Rashford, or Leao good solutions? What does the next decade look like for the Parisiens? Then we’ve got the Burn Book, with side-sleeping, the...

Welcome back to the Unseen Incidents podcast! We’re a week late this time due to me having another baby but now I’m back to coparent our audience with Pete. We’re taking stock of the Liverpool situation, after Klopp announced his summer departure. What sort of squad has he been building? Why might Liverpool’s style be an issue long-term? And what do we think of the principal candidates for the job...

Hello and welcome to the Unseen Incidents podcast, where this week we’re answering your questions! First up we have our predictions for the year ahead, including Premier League and Champions League winners, the coming summer’s headline transfers, and surprise teams on the up. Then we turn our attention to the Premier League midtable, and ask how high teams like West Ham, Brentford, and Brighton ca...

Hello and welcome to the Unseen Incidents podcast, where this week we’re bringing forward our customary late-season Arsenal-bottling episode. The Gunners are on a run of 3 losses in 5, and have seen their title chances drop to almost zero in the betting markets. But how was the Villa loss different from the West Ham and Fulham ones? How can xG help us understand, and how is it lying? We dig into A...

What’s up everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents. I’m now recovered from a life-threatening house move and Pete and I are finally taking a look at Manchester City, who might actually be in some sort of real crisis for the first time under Pep. What’s up with their squad-building? Is it just injuries, or tactics too? And what are their chances for major honours? Then it’s...

Hello and welcome to the UI podcast, where this week we discuss three teams mixing it with the big boys this season.

Then it’s the Burn Book, with portable gaming, organised fun, and positivity. For access to our bonus episodes, subscribe at Patreon.com/Patrick...

Welcome back to the Unseen Incidents podcast, where this week we’re looking at the weirdly open Champions League field. City are the accepted favourites, but who is next? How good are Real Madrid really? What has Xavi actually done with Barcelona? And who are our dark horses for the competition? Then it’s the Burn Book, with the Smiths, black-tie weddings, and an idiot running through Africa. If y...

Hello and welcome back to Unseen Incidents! It's international break time, so we're taking on your questions, starting with the biggest mistakes football fans make. What do supporters get wrong about corners, tactics, and pundits? Then we look at Everton, whose early season numbers are shockingly great. Are they totally safe?  Then we've got the Burn Book, with fancy glasses, loud music in cars, a...

On this week’s episode of Unseen Incidents, we’re diving headfirst into the debate around Liverpool. Yes, they lost to Spurs, but plenty of people think a title challenge is a reasonable possibility for the Reds, and that they are back above Arsenal and Newcastle, but what suggests that’s right, and what are the red flags? We dig into the red cards, van Dijk, Salah, and the new midfielders to see...

Hello and welcome to Unseen Incidents, where this week we’re hitting the big red button and examining Manchester United’s crisis. What’s going on with them this season? What is ten Hag getting wrong? And how did they become the worst-run super club in the game? Then we’ve got the Burn Book, with The Lads, mega-clubs, and Dirty Dancing. If you don’t already, subscribe at Patreon.com/Patrickvs for a...

Hello and welcome back to the Unseen Incidents podcast, where this week we’ve accidentally produced a marathon episode, going through the Premier League’s top 8 sides and rating their transfer windows. We discuss why we hate Nunes and love Doku, Amrabat to United, Liverpool’s great midfield rebuild, and the mystery that is Brennan Johnson. Then we open the Burn Book, which features pints, cycling,...

Hello and welcome back to Unseen Incidents, where this week we're diving into Chelsea (before their blowout win over Luton). What kind of squad has all their spending created? How does this team even fit together? What's still missing? We go into all this, plus our larger questions about Todd Boehly's attempt to disrupt the football landscape. Then it's on to the Burn Book, which this time out fea...

Welcome back to Unseen Incidents! We’re back from hiatus and ready to dive into football again (reluctantly). And on the first episode of our second season, we’re looking ahead to the campaign to come in true hater fashion, taking a look at Spurs (surprisingly positive), Hojlund (surprisingly negative), Liverpool’s new-look midfield, and a bunch of other stuff which comes into our heads. Then we h...

Hello and welcome back to the Unseen Incidents podcast. This week we’re talking Champions League, with the final largely considered a foregone conclusion. But do Manchester City have weaknesses? Is there anything about Inter which gives them a shot? And how have Lautaro and Lukaku been underrated this season? Then we've got the Burn Book, with tacos, hangovers in your 30s, and advancements in eye...

What’s up everyone and welcome back to the Unseen Incidents podcast, where this week we’re looking back at the season in our own (bitchy) way, with our biggest surprises and disappointments of the season, plus the most overrated and underrated players and coaches. We’ve got Emery slander, Ancelotti praise, and we eat shit on Bournemouth, before we get into the Burn Book, which features fitness non...

Hello and welcome to the Unseen Incidents podcast, where this week we're asking whether Arsenal are actually bottling the Premier League. Two draws against West Ham and Liverpool put Arteta's team in a difficult spot, but what did they get wrong in those games? How are they coping without Zinchenko and Saliba? How do you even beat Man City? Then we've got the Burn Book, with rudeness to service st...

Hello and welcome back to Unseen Incidents, where this week we’re returning to Graham Potter, who we covered in our very first episode, to see what went so wrong for him at Chelsea. Which players let him down? Was he unlucky? And how was Chelsea’s recruitment to blame? Then we ask the same questions about Brendan Rodgers, now ditched by Leicester with relegation looming. What happened to the smart...

Hey everyone, and welcome to this week’s Unseen Incidents, which is finally plummeting into the bottom third of the Premier League to work out who’s getting relegated. With 12 games to go, almost half the division is embroiled in the battle, and we discuss the weirdness of West Ham and Leeds, the worrying signs at Leicester, and the ramshackle squads of Forest and Everton as the run-in approaches...

Hey everyone, and welcome to this week’s Unseen Incidents, which is all about Manchester United.

Then it’s the Burn Book,...

Hello and welcome back to the Unseen Incidents podcast, where this week we’re digging into the massive scandal around Manchester City’s finances.

Then we’ve got the Burn Book, with discussion of decluttering, tipping, and Hogwarts Legacy. Enjoy, thank you for the 5-star r...

What’s up everyone and welcome back to Unseen Incidents, where this week we’re looking at Everton, who by the time you listen will almost certainly have appointed Sean Dyche.

Welcome to episode 10 of Unseen Incidents, where we bring you a tour of the January transfer window. We've got Manchester United's striker hunt and longer-term plans, plus the wisdom of Arsenal's Mudryk move and why it may be time to stop "trusting the process". Then there's the Burn Book, this week featuring the space-edge advances in Guinness technology, animal people, and what makes Patrick cry...
