  • Episode 18 - Take It to the Streets
    Feb 11 2026

    This week, Adam drops a bombshell: it’s time to take Dave and Paul Talk Football out of the studio and into the wild, with a proper sit-down setup for live supporter debates, raw hot takes, and on-camera chaos.


    Then the boys get stuck into the football: City complete a rare league double over Liverpool, and the Liverpool post-mortem turns brutal, from “no leaders” to bench problems and Slot taking heat. Newcastle cop it too, with Paul arguing English managers get protected, while Dave says trophies still buy time.


    There’s also a VAR rant (NRL-style clarity, please), Arsenal title nerves (is City really “clutch” anymore?), and a rapid-fire player segment featuring Romero, Tonali, Zubimendi, Milner’s appearance record chase, and the Harvey Elliott loan clause drama.


    And just when it couldn’t get more unhinged: breaking news lands mid-episode… Spurs sack Thomas Frank.


    Expect big takes, bigger arguments, and the debut of the “Press Conference From Hell” questions to finish it off.

  • Episode 17 - Humble Pie & Fruit Grenades
    Feb 3 2026

    Adam turns up with a “peace offering” for the lads… a bag of fruit each. It lasts about 30 seconds before Dave threatens to start throwing produce.


    From there, it’s classic chaos: Dave’s not-quite-an-apology voice note to Paul, Chelsea’s “humble pie” problem, and the internet committing crimes by putting Declan Rice in a greatest free-kick-takers lineup ahead of actual legends.


    Then it gets properly spicy: are Arsenal top because they’re elite, or just the best of a bad bunch? Does it matter how you win, or is winning all that counts? The boys go deep on set pieces, “spectacle vs results”, and whether football’s quality is dropping.


    We pivot to Manchester United’s surprise resurgence, Manchester City dropping points, and Rodri’s post-match meltdown, followed by a rapid-fire Q&A on bias, burnout, modern managers, squad management, and whether social media has completely cooked football discourse.


    Expect debates, hot takes, and absolutely zero peace offerings.

  • Episode 16 - Set Piece FC, LinkedIn FC and Liverpool’s Identity Crisis
    Jan 28 2026

    It’s been a great weekend to be a Barclays fan… unless you support Liverpool. Dave returns from the long weekend and immediately spirals as the lads unpack Arsenal vs Manchester United, including those ridiculous United goals, Bruno Fernandes’ influence, and the growing question hanging over Arsenal’s title push: are they actually ruthless enough, or are they winning by default?


    From there, it turns into a full-blown manager debate. Is Arteta’s philosophy holding Arsenal back? Is Michael Carrick’s “new manager bounce” real? And why does Paul think Liam “man-age” Rosenior is being unfairly mocked as a LinkedIn PE teacher?


    Plus: Crystal Palace’s sudden implosion, feeder club reality checks, and a brutally honest Liverpool post-mortem as Dave declares the identity is gone and Slot is starting to lose the room.


    No trophies were won in this episode, but plenty of managers got sacked in theory.
