What a rollercoaster of emotions this week! Mayhem delivers an explosive rant after what has been nothing short of a disastrous spell for Celtic. From crashing out of the Champions League to Kairat Almaty, to a dreadful goalless Old Firm draw against Rangers, and to top it all off - a transfer window that saw the Bhoys scraping the barrel on Deadline Day. To call Mayhem unhappy would be an understatement…

Meanwhile, it’s all smiles in South Wales. Fennan and the Bluebirds are living the dream, sitting top of League One after a 4-0 demolition of Plymouth Argyle and announcing the exciting Deadline Day loan signing of Chelsea wonderkid Omari Kellyman. Life under Brian Barry-Murphy is looking lush!

We wrap up this action-packed episode with a full round-up of the Deadline Day drama across football, including the deals that shocked us most.

This week’s Football Booth Podcast is packed with action from Scotland, Wales and beyond!

🍀 Celtic cruised past Falkirk with a 4-1 win in their League Cup second-round tie, booking a quarter-final showdown with Partick Thistle. But with the transfer window closing in, concerns continue to grow amongst fans over the lack of business - could it cost Brendan Rodgers’ men both in Europe and domestically?

🔵 Cardiff City also advanced in the League Cup after a 2-1 win against Swindon Town, setting up a second-round home tie with Cheltenham. Back in the league, Brian Barry-Murphy’s side kept their unbeaten start alive, comfortably beating Rotherham 3-0 in front of a lively Cardiff City Stadium.

🏆 The Premier League returned with high excitement - Liverpool opened the campaign with a 4-2 win over Bournemouth in an emotional night at Anfield as tributes poured out to the late Diogo Jota and André Silva. Elsewhere, Man City flexed their muscles with a 4-0 demolition of Wolves, while Arsenal edged Man United with a 1-0 win at Old Trafford.

🎯 Finally, we rounded things off with another leg of FootDarts, as Fennan took on Mayhem with the category being the Bundesliga’s all-time top goalscorers - but who hit the target this time?

Plenty to break down on this week’s Football Booth Podcast!

🍀 Celtic picked up another valuable three points with a 2-0 win at Pittodrie against Aberdeen, giving Brendan Rodgers’ men an early four-point lead at the top, with rivals Rangers stumbling again after a 1-1 draw at home to Dundee.

🔵 Cardiff City were less convincing, scraping a 0-0 draw away at Port Vale after a lacklustre showing. Fennan highlighted the need for senior players to step up and guide the youngsters breaking into the side, while also stressing the importance of further signings to bolster Brian Barry-Murphy’s squad.

🏆 Elsewhere, we rounded up some of the Championship’s opening-day drama and looked at Crystal Palace’s Community Shield triumph over Liverpool, which was decided on penalties.

🎯 And to wrap it up, we debuted a brand-new segment: Football Darts! Fennan and Mayhem battled it out with Gondor calling the shots - but who came out on top?

🍀 Celtic’s transfer window heats up:

• Benjamin Nygren and Callum Osmand have officially joined the Hoops, with Japanese defender Hayato Inamura soon to follow.

• Meanwhile, the transfer scene in South Wales has been quiet—except for the departure of Roko Šimić, who heads on loan to Karlsruher SC. Fennan didn’t hold back, labelling Cardiff a “somewhat graveyard for strikers” after Šimić failed to get his chance.
