Zeno's Football Logic

In Mini Logic's latest chronicle, Zeno talks about why Sheffield United have been as bad as they are, and provides his own take on how they can get better, and take steps forward. NOTE : I just remembered that Harry Wilson is on loan at Cardiff City. So forget him joining Sheffield United, then! (for now)

In the latest episode of Mini Logic, Zeno decides to react to the shock 3-1 win Arsenal pulled out against Chelsea, with an emphasis on the Blues' performance (not on purpose, I swear!). Funny thing is, this result wouldn't have been as surprising in the past, but Arsenal's bad start in the league this year had made it a result to raise your eyebrow at. NOTE: If you can hear the storm in the backg...

In episode 16 of Mini Logic, Zeno discusses the effect injuries have had on Liverpool's performances this season, and comes to the conclusion that perhaps the woes that they have been suffering, have actually been blown out of proportion! Only because, despite the adversity, they have climbed their way to the top of the Premier League summit once again, after defeating Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 on Wed...

In the latest episode of Mini Logic, Zeno goes on a little rant about Mino Raiola, Paul Pogba's agent and Daniel Campos (yes, I know his name now), Miguel Almirón's agent. Both agents made some unnecessary comments this season, which could have unsettled the club their clients play for, and even the players themselves. Steve Bruce said it best when he said Campos was "trying to make a fast buck"....

In episode 14, Zeno discusses the legitimacy of the potential new teams that are said to be in the race for the Premier League title (alongside Liverpool and Manchester City). Most likely, Chelsea and maybe Spurs will offer some sort of competition to the last two winners of the league. Zeno offers quick reasons to as why this is probably the case. There will DEFINITELY be more episodes on the tit...

In Episode 13 (the 2nd episode in a row featuring Dukey!), Zeno and Dukey talk about the dark, business-powered intentions that might cause the European Super League to be an actual thing, and the consequences it might hold on those clubs who wouldn't be invited, and those who are; as well as the effect it would have on football in general. 

In a historical episode, with Dukey making his first appearance on the podcast alongside Zeno, the duo discuss a range of topics, such as the ramifications of the decision to not use 5 substitutes in the Premier League this season, and the forced changes to the tournament structure of the latter stages of the Champions League last season (no second legs). By the way, don't mind me cutting myself o...

In the latest episode of Mini Logic, Zeno discusses the last 4 teams that have just made Euro 2020 via the play-offs, and how much of a chance they might have next year in their groups. Well done to Scotland, Slovakia, Hungary and North Macedonia for making it!

Manchester United's 2020/21 season has been an interesting one so far. Wins over PSG and RB Leipzig in the Champions League had kind of papered over the cracks of a dodgy league start, which has currently left them in 15th place (as of 6th November 2020). But, after an extremely unconvincing performance against İstanbul Başakşehir (which ended in a 2-1 defeat), Ole Gunnar Solskjær and his players...

In this episode, Zeno, with the help of some numbers, attempts to tackle the myth that Mesut Özil wasn't included in Arsenal's Premier League sqaud because he might be no longer good enough. As proven by the stats, this is a myth busted, and points to the suggestion that he might not be playing for Arsenal anymore becuse of non-footballing reasons. He might not be as good as he was, but he could s...

In this latest episode of Mini Logic, Zeno discusses how good Virgil Van Dijk has been for Liverpool, and how much they will miss his dominating presence at the back, after picking up an anterior cruciate ligament injury against Everton (it was a horrible challenge, by the way!).

In Episode 7, Zeno discusses England's performance against Belgium in the Nations League, and reiterates what he feels they need to do to continue improving.  NOTE: I just want to make a correction. Jack Grealish made his debut for England against Denmark in the UEFA Nations League on the 8th September 2020. The friendly match vs Wales was his first start.

In the latest episode of Mini Logic, Zeno gives his reaction to the two crazy, historic results that happened on the 4th Otctober 2020, on Matchweek 4 of the 2020-21 Premier League season. NOTE: I know I didn't mention Alex Telles when I talked about Manchester United's recent acquisitions, but let's be honest, he's an attacking fullback with suspect defence. We'll see, though. By the way, spare a...

In episode 5, Zeno discusses the improvements Everton have put into place, in order to potentially thrive this season.

In Episode 4, Zeno doesn't actually talk about the return of the Premier League. In fact, he decides to discuss England's national football team, and how they can improve and maximise their potential, after 2 dull, below-par performances against Iceland and Denmark.

In Episode 3, Zeno gives his own views on Manchester United's pursuit of Jadon Sancho. (apologies for the dodgy quality!)

In episode 2, Zeno talks about Chelsea's transfer business so far, as well as (very) briefly discussing Lionel Messi's decision to leave Barcelona.

Welcome to the opening episode of the Mini Logic series on the ZFL podcast! In the opening episode, Zeno talks about Joe Hart joining Tottenham, and other related things.
