    Some spooky goings-on meant our Premier League Review Matchday 10 got slightly delayed, but our breakdown of the Manchester derby is well worth the wait.

    Matt Furniss then joined our duo to bring you a fact from each of the games as part of our Premier League Review Matchday 10, before Graham let his success on the "Pauline Quirke Quiz" last time out go to his head as he turned quizmaster and put Matt in the hotseat. Could he maintain the co-hosts winning record?

    Another international break out of the way, and so "The Data Day" returns with our Premier League Review: Matchday 9 with one main question standing out to the panel - can Aston Villa WIN the Premier League this season?

Also, as part of our Premier League Review: Matchday 9 episode, the pair take a look at "The Good, The Bad and The Quirky" from the weekend's action at both the top and the bottom of the table with rumours swirling of Andoni Iraola's departure from strugglers Bournemouth.

    And then for our weekly quiz, David Segar becomes the latest to try and uphold the podcast guests record for securing victory, but is this FINALLY the weekend Graham records the win?

    Oct 9 2023

    With the international break on the horizon, join "The Data Day" for our Premier League Review Matchday 8, as the title race got thrown wide open following late drama at the Emirates with Arsenal taking the victory over Manchester City.

    Matt Furniss, Ollie Hopkins and Graham Bell dive a little deeper into that game as part of our Premier League Review Matchday 8, as well as looking at the rest of the weekend's action, where it's good times for Chelsea and Everton, but there are some concerns growing for Bournemouth and Sheffield United.

    And the Pauline Quirke quiz might sound very familiar this week. But trust us, it's a completely different question. And it even goes down to a penalty shootout...but who will out on top?

    Oct 3 2023

    Just to be clear, in our Premier League Review: Matchday 7 on "The Data Day", there will be very limited talk about VAR. But we do take a closer look at the number of red cards that have been handed out in the competition so far, and why it is having an impact on the table.

    We also take a look at "The Good, The Bad and The Quirky" from the weekend's action with Matt Furniss and Ryan Benson joining Graham Bell for our Premier League Review: Matchday 7. Whether it's lauding over Aston Villa and Wolves or lamenting Manchester United's form, we dive into the key data stories.

    And, of course, where else do we end but with the Pauline Quirke Quiz. Can Graham finally record a victory against the podcast debutant?

  • Premier League Review: Matchday 5
    Sep 18 2023

    Back from the international break, "The Data Day" returns with our Premier League Review: Matchday 5, which heavily features a look at the late goals that have dominated the 2023-24 Premier League season so far. We raised it as a potential "Talking Point" heading into the season but our panel of Matt Furniss, David Segar and Graham Bell probably didn't quite foresee the impact it would have on the games so far.

    We also take a look at the rest of the action as part of our Premier League Review: Matchday 5, reflecting on "The Good, The Bad and The Quirky". No surprises that Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea feature but in what order?

    And the Pauline Quirke quiz rounds off another show, it's a particularly tricky teaser but can Graham finally pick up his first victory in the podcast's history?

    You can look forward to the week's Champions League action with a host of features on Opta Analyst, including the eight hidden gems that you should be keeping your eye on this season.

  • Premier League Review: Matchday 4
    Sep 4 2023

    If only four players had scored hat-tricks, then there would have been four guests on the latest "The Data Day" podcast with our Premier League Review: Matchday 4. Instead, it's Matt Furniss, Oliver Hopkins and Graham Bell to guide you through all the key talking points from the weekend's action.

    Where else could our Premier League Review: Matchday 4 begin than at the Emirates for our 'Talking Point'. Was it a good game? Had Manchester United done enough to warrant a point? How important will the victory be for Arsenal? We get into the nitty, gritty of the atch.

    After that, it's the 'The Good, The Bad and The Quirky' to review the rest of the weekend's action, with a word of warning for a couple of clubs. And that's all before the now infamous 'Pauline Quirke Quiz' returns in a penalty shoot-out format with some answers that are sure to tear your hair out!
