  • Arsenal give small boy debut (...and Erik ten Hag loses first game)

    Arsenal give small boy debut (...and Erik ten Hag loses first game)
    2025/08/25
    He’s fifteen. He’s supposed to be doing his GCSEs. And just the coursework, he shouldn’t be taking exams until next year. Max Dowman is young. But he seems to be really good for Arsenal too. Adrian Clarke was young and good for Arsenal once and he’s seen a few come through the ranks since. How does he rate Dowman and what can be done to look after the boy?

    Plus we’ve got a full weekend round-up including Seb Stafford Bloor’s thoughts on Bayer Leverkusen’s shock opening day defeat.

    Listen now, follow if you like it, five star it if you really like it and if you absolutely adore it, give us a proper review, it makes such a difference.

    Eze Wars: Who’s to blame? (...and more on Marseille)
    2025/08/21
    Eberechi Eze has secured his dream move. But did Arsenal win him, or did Spurs lose him? Chris I’Anson-Miller and Tim Stillman weigh in on yet another dramatic transfer.

    French football expert Tom Williams gives us some clarity on the chaos of Marseille… or as much clarity as anyone can give on a madhouse.

    In less shocking news Javier Mascherano was sent off and Brendan Rodgers is complaining about finances again.

    United lose game, but win pride (...and how did Rashford get on at Barca?)
    2025/08/18
    Well, that was an underwhelming Super Sunday, wasn’t it? Arsenal were off their game and were fortunate to win, Manchester United looked brighter, but couldn’t land a punch. But Andy Mitten found reasons to be cheerful.

    Marcus Rashford made his debut for Barcelona, Feargal Brennan was watching that for us. And Bayern Munich won the German Super Cup, but Seb Stafford Bloor says there are still some concerns.

    We’ve got a full weekend round-up for you, lots of stories you may have missed elsewhere. Listen now.

  • Man Utd vs Arsenal: Šeško vs Gyökeres is here (...and who is Arnaud Kalimuendo?)

    Man Utd vs Arsenal: Šeško vs Gyökeres is here (...and who is Arnaud Kalimuendo?)
    2025/08/15
    With the Premier League opening weekend incredibly including Man Utd vs Arsenal, we check the mood in both camps with Carl Anka and Adrian Clarke.

    Alex Barker joins us to share his insight on Nottingham Forest’s exciting new striker, Arnaud Kalimuendo.

    We think we’ve spotted some potential transfer dominoes that will fall as soon as Dango Outtara joins Brentford, plus we have a curious update on Enzo Maresca.

    And finally, with the proper football finally back, we point you in the direction of the fixtures that caught our eye this weekend.

  • Enough with the ‘Spursy’ gags, they did well! (...and who is Geovanni Leoni?)

    Enough with the ‘Spursy’ gags, they did well! (...and who is Geovanni Leoni?)
    2025/08/14
    Once is amusing, twice will earn you a polite smile, but after a whole day of “SPURSY!” bantz, we’re very much over it all. Thomas Frank’s side played well. We thought they were going to get flattened and they damn nearly won the thing. We get some perspective from Chris I’Anson Miller.

    And who’s this Geovanni Leoni kid that Liverpool have bought from Parma? We call on the expertise and glorious vocal stylings of JJ Bull.

    Plus, should we feel sorry for Wayne Rooney? Who have Nottingham Forest bought now and why might we see more yellow cards than ever before this season?
