Ep.2: “Stat Shocks, Soap Operas & Squad Meltdowns”


A chaotic Premier League weekend sets the tone: Brentford thump United, Brighton outplay Chelsea, Palace bloody Liverpool’s nose, and the newly-promoted trio rack up a record points haul. Dave and Paul spar over whether sacking Amorim fixes anything at Old Trafford, if Chelsea’s issues are tactics or team-building, and why Arsenal’s last-gasp win at Newcastle might (or might not) scream “title credentials.” There’s banter about a 30-player office FIFA comp, flirting with video for the show, and the looming drama of Mourinho’s Benfica returning to Stamford Bridge - plus a nervy Liverpool trip to Galatasaray. One of them will be insufferably happy next week. Probably.


What’s inside

  • United’s spiral: system stubbornness vs. inevitable sacking
  • Chelsea 1–3 Brighton: creativity void, red cards, and Marseca pressure
  • Palace 2–1 Liverpool: tactical tweaks, Wirtz form watch, depth worries
  • Arsenal late show at St James’ Park: set-piece merchants or title material?
  • Promoted sides flying: Sunderland, Leeds & Burnley’s fast start
  • Europe preview: Mourinho at the Bridge, Anfield to Istanbul nerves
