There will be no more of relieved man in London today than Mauricio Pochettino who saw his Chelsea side thump Middlesborough and move onto the Carabao Cup final. Is this tournament his lifeline and could it turn their season around? We also take a look at just why the January transfer window has had less movement than Marley during a Sunday League game - are clubs that fearful of the FFP sanctions? And we finish with a quiz - but with a special twist, featuring FIFA president Gianni Infantino’s infamous ‘I feel’ speech at the 2022 Qatar World Cup!

Yes, you read that right. Wigan cult hero Ali Al-Habsi has a genuine shout of making it into our all-time Premier League eleven made up of players from Africa or Asia. With the AFCON and Asia Cup taking place right now, we thought we'd see if we can shoehorn the likes of Drogba, Salah, Son and others into the side. But be warned... someone is going to miss out!

We’re just over the halfway point of the Premier League season and having seen both Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville be completely dragged through Twitter like two captured Roman Emperors for their submissions, we thought we’d have a crack - but with a slight twist. Instead the typically boring way of just choosing any players for our Teams of the Season, we’ve added a little slice of jeopardy, a sprinkle of trivia and dollop of debate to eventually get to our - very suspect - title contenders.

Plus, Jose Mourinho has now been sacked by AS Roma and so naturally, we have to discuss which team is the perfect place for the Special One to create chaos in!

Two teams in the Premier League which are nervously waiting for their fate are Everton and Nottingham Forest, who may be subject to punishment from the Premier League on the 15th January. De Bruyne came back to football with a bang, as just a 20 minute cameo was enough for the Belgian to bring tears to Marley’s eyes, so will this be the turnaround City need this season? And finally, Manchester United faced yet another set back in front of Sir Jim Ratcliffe who watched his (half) new team against Spurs, but was likely to not be impressed with what was unfolding in front of him.

Happy New Year! We’re back in full swing, albeit 10 kilos heavier than pre-Christmas, and Newcastle’s Christmas hangover continues after Liverpool inflicted yet another defeat onto Howe’s side. Klopp’s side start the year at the top of the tree - but can they remain there and who is their biggest threat? Arsenal faltered for the second consecutive game, this time at Fulham so is now the time for questions to be asked about Arteta’s side and their chances this season? It’s t-minus 15 days until Ivan Toney is allowed to return from his ban, and it couldn’t come at a better time for Brentford who are on the back of five consecutive losses. So - should he stay or should he go? While you’re here, be sure to leave us a review and rating in your listening platform - It helps us out massively, and we thank you for all your support!

It was back to winning ways for Manchester City has they continue to hunt down the league leaders, though it took some effort after coming from behind against Everton to take all three points. With De Bruyne and Erling Haaland on the bring of returning, what does this mean for the title challengers? And Pochettino was spared yet another poor result after Madueke won and scored a penalty late on to take all three points at Stamford Bridge, but what will it mean for Crystal Palace who are slowly drifting towards those relegation spots? Ivan Toney will be available from mid-January for Brentford and they could do with his goals, but will he be with the Bees come the end of the transfer window?

Merry Christmas! We’re back, and all five kilos heavier after a little festive break but the football hasn’t stopped! The fixture between Manchester United and high-flying Aston Villa was a Christmas cracker which saw Rasmus Hojlund complete an impressive comeback for his side.

Just when we thought we’d escaped the Grinch at Christmas, the Super League came back through the window with a thud bearing gifts and all.

So, is the Super League back for good or is it time we saw the back of the it all? We’ll be back on December 27th so until then, have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy the festive period!

It was a story which Mystic Marley said was brewing under the surface, and it has now erupted.

Was the writing on the wall for Cooper and will Santo be a disaster or success? Plus we look at a horrific error from Onana - no, not the one you’re thinking of, but Everton’s Amadou Onana who missed his penalty which saw his side leave the Carabao Cup. And it was a night to forget for Kieran Trippier and Newcastle as Chelsea advanced into the semi-finals. Head to NordVPN.com/FSD to grab your discounted subscription now plus 4 extra months on top!
