  • Spurs take the upper hand against Liverpool (and how did Barca get off the hook?)

    Spurs take the upper hand against Liverpool (and how did Barca get off the hook?)
    Jan 8 2025
    Did anyone expect Spurs to play really mature, sensible football and beat Liverpool without conceding a goal? This was a very impressive display from them, though the referee’s decision not to dismiss Lucas Bergvall may have been more important than his dalliance with the tannoy… Julian Lopetegui has been put out of his misery at West Ham. The decision was finally reached on Wednesday after the poor man was made to take a morning training session. Roshane Thomas is here to tell us if it was the right decision or not. And remember how Barcelona were going to lose Dani Olmo for nothing? Not anymore. The Spanish government has stepped in and he can play again. Pol Ballus explains what just happened.

    Newcastle stun Arsenal at The Emirates (And what’s the latest from West Ham?)
    Jan 7 2025
    Arsenal sent the xG meter past the three goals mark, but Newcastle were far more ruthless in front of goal and they have just secured a huge victory in the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals. Can Arsenal turn it around at St James Park? I don’t fancy their chances… What’s the latest on Julien Lopetegui? We speak to our West Ham man Roshane Thomas. And it’s the first Heavy Metal Football…statistics of the season. Are Brentford all they’re cracked up to be? The numbers shed some doubt… Presenter: Iain Macintosh With: Jordan Campbell, George Caulkin, Roshane Thomas Producer: Si Watts Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Why Arsenal should be cheerful (and what did Pulisic just do to Inter?)

    Why Arsenal should be cheerful (and what did Pulisic just do to Inter?)
    Jan 6 2025
    Arsenal fans seem a little nervous right now and I can understand that. Newcastle stand between them and a first cup final since 2020, and the Magpies are in fine form. But former Gunner Adrian Clarke is very optimistic… AC Milan looked dead and buried in Saudi Arabia, but Christian Pulisic led a heroic comeback to secure Super Coppa success against Internazionale. Greg O’Keefe was watching that for us. We’re really going to have to start taking Nottingham Forest seriously. They are the real deal. Matt Davies Adams joins us to explain why. And if that wasn’t enough, we’ve got David Ornstein discussing his fascinating interview with Pierre Emerick Aubameyang. How did we fit all this into just ten minutes? Scissors.
