  • Me, Him and Football | Ep 40| Southampton Spying Scandal| Man City Win FA Cup| England Squad Snubs
    2026/05/25

    Football from a couple's perspective! One of us is a tactical nerd, the other is just trying to keep up. Join Carl (husband) and Linda (wife) as we unpack one of the most controversial weeks in English football history.

    In the Premier League, Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Burnley, while Manchester City stall at Bournemouth. Plus, Chelsea get a crucial 2-1 win over Tottenham to heat up the race for the top four.

    In "What You Missed," we break down the unprecedented madness in the Championship promotion race. Southampton have been thrown out of the Playoff Final after an EFL investigation caught them spying on Middlesbrough, Oxford, and Ipswich! Because of Spygate, Middlesbrough were reinstated, but ultimately fell 1-0 to Hull City after a 95th-minute Ollie McBurnie winner. Hull are back in the big time!

    We also react to Manchester City lifting the FA Cup in Pep Guardiola’s final match, and Unai Emery winning a record-extending 5th Europa League title with Aston Villa. Plus, we debate the shocking England World Cup squad omissions—including Phil Foden, Cole Palmer, and Trent Alexander-Arnold—and Harry Maguire's family's social media backlash.

    Finally, we voice our outrage over the Champions League final no longer being free-to-air in the UK for the first time since 1992.

    The Quiz turns into a grilling session as Carl tests Linda on this season’s Arsenal stats, followed by our Spotlight on Tottenham v Everton and our weekly score predictions!

    Football from a couple's perspective! One of us lives for the stats, the other is just trying to keep up. Join Carl (husband) and Linda (wife) as we break down the biggest headlines on and off the pitch.

    In the Premier League, Arsenal keep the pressure on with a gritty 1-0 win over West Ham, while Spurs and Leeds battle to a 1-1 draw that keeps the relegation fight wide open. We analyze the table as we head into the final stretch of the season.

    In "What You Missed," we dive into the brewing World Cup Visa Crisis as the US denies applications for five Iraqi players, including Luton’s Ali al-Hamadi. Will politics prevent athletes from competing on the world's biggest stage? We also discuss the heartbreak for Mexican schoolkids after the government reversed a decision to end the school year early for the tournament. Plus, Linda leads the discussion on the high-profile Chelsea x Roc Nation partnership.

    In Linda Learns, we explore the tribal nature of Football Rivalries, from the North London Derby to the "weird" grudge match between Crystal Palace and Brighton.

    The Premier League title race has taken another massive turn! Arsenal coasted past Fulham, but the shock of the weekend came at Goodison Park where Everton held Man City to a 3-3 thriller. Plus, Manchester United edges out Liverpool 3-2 in a classic, and Spurs grab a vital win at Villa Park to keep their survival hopes alive.

    In "What You Missed," we dive into the total meltdown at Real Madrid. From 40 million fans signing a petition to kick Kylian Mbappe out, to Antonio Rudiger slapping coaches, and a training ground fight that left Federico Valverde in the hospital with a brain injury—all while Barcelona prepares to potentially win the league in El Clasico this Sunday. It is absolute car-crash territory at the Bernabéu.

    We also discuss the shocking comments from Donald Trump, who admitted he wouldn’t pay the "market rate" prices for the USA’s World Cup opener against Paraguay. When billionaires are calling the tickets too expensive, has FIFA finally gone too far?

    Football from a couple's perspective! One of us is the expert, the other is the student. Join Carl (husband) and Linda (wife) for a breakdown of a truly historic week in football.

    Is this the best Champions League match ever? We dissect the 9-goal thriller between PSG and Bayern Munich (5-4!) and look ahead to the second leg. Back home, the Premier League title race is "nip and tuck" as Eze fires Arsenal 3 points clear, while the relegation battle hits fever pitch—Spurs finally found a win, only for West Ham to send them right back into the drop zone minutes later.

    In "What You Missed," we cover the breaking news that West Ham owner David Sullivan can now be named as the subject of a serious criminal investigation. We also discuss the massive 13-game ban handed to Real Zaragoza’s keeper for a mid-game punch, and FIFA's $112 million payout boost for World Cup nations. Plus, we compare World Cup host cities: Miami and Philly are offering free fan transport, while New York/NJ is hiking train prices to $100+!

Is Roberto De Zerbi the right man for the job, or is the controversy surrounding his appointment already too much?
