Harry Maguire fires Manchester United warning, should ex-footballers be in the VAR room, and who should be the next England manager?
12/10/2023 Duración: 51minHarry Maguire is in the headlines once again, though this time he has spoken out about his recent lack of playing time at Manchester United. Despite being linked with a move away to West Ham, the defender has now issued a warning to his club insisting he will not wait forever on the bench. We also debate what the game would look like if Paul Merson and Glenn Hoddle were making the calls inside the VAR room alongside Mike Dean… not pretty. So, should ex-professional football players have a say in how the law is interpreted, or even have a hand in the decisions on the pitch? And finally, a big thanks to everyone in our Telegram group who have given the boys a set of tough questions to go through!

Eden Hazard retires from football aged 32 - Underrated? Plus, EURO 2028 stadiums are announced and should Saudi host the 2034 World Cup?
10/10/2023 Duración: 47minToday marked the end of Eden Hazard's career after he announced he will be hanging up his boots after a glowing career which was sadly hampered by injuries towards the end of his time in the game. Despite the tricky period at Real Madrid, does the Belgian winger get the praise he deserves following his time in England with Chelsea? The EURO 2028 Championships are on our shores for the first time (technically) since 1996, and there's been some glaring omissions from the stadiums due to host the games during the tournament, along with a new way to includ all hosts in the competition - but how will it work? And we discuss a few years from now where Saudi Arabia slide into position as the firm favourites to host the 2034 World Cup, but why are countries refusing to make a bid and why are we seeing more joint bids?

Arsenal finally beat Man City, but what does it mean for the title race? Plus, McTominay saves Manchester United and Spurs stay top!
09/10/2023 Duración: 54minMikel Arteta finally got one over he former boss Pep Guardiola as Arsenal took three points from Manchester City, but does this give us any clues as to how the title race will go, or if the Treble winners will be off the pace this season? It was an usual hero if you’re talking about Scotland, but an unusual hero when talking about Manchester United as Scott McTominay came on to score two goals in injury time to save his side from yet another defeat. And of course, Andre Onana is centre of yet more flak from Marley Anderson. Finally, we discuss just what exactly how Ange Postecoglou changed at Tottenham for them to now sit in second place in the Premier League table. Aussie charm? Kane money? Beers that fill up from the bottom of the cup? We get to the bottom of it! (Unfortunately not literally).
