One Kick From Glory: Recent Episodes
Eightseven
Manchester City v Arsenal is slowing shaping up to be a contentious rivalry. There's no love lost on the pitch, and this game proved to be another classic encounter. Thought without the ref's interference, could have gone onto another level. Will common sense refereeing return or will it be more of the same from the old boys club?

Liverpool may have moved away from their legendary training ground in 2021, but Old Trafford is proving to be a favourable stadium for one Mo Salah. He has scored a record 15 goals against Man United, with 10 coming at Old Trafford. He will take some stopping this season in the hunt for the golden boot.

Following his ill timed social media post, Noni Madukele stepped up and moved the conversation away from a gaff and to a glut of goals. A hat trick and a positive Chelsea performance has given Enzo Maresca a lot to build upon. How will Chelsea continue to develop this season?

The Premier League is back and the monster trio of Salah, Haaland proved that it's business as usual for them. Unfortunately for the blues, they couldn't start off on the front foot.
How will Chelsea shape up, after their defeat to Manchester City? Are Liverpool and Arsenal set to challenge Manchester City to the title and will the Red half of Manchester join the party? At what point does player welfare come in to question with Chelsea’s “squad building”.

The 2024/25 football season is here, and there is so much optimism in the air around our clubs. Will Chelsea’s “strategy” of stockpiling players pay off, or is Enzo Maresca’s blues in for a shock? Can Arne Slot lead Liverpool to a title win this year, or will the machine that is Manchester City achieve an historic 5th win in a row?
We’re back and listen up to hear how we see things playing out.

The crowning heights of sporting success are clouded by the prolonged delay over the 115 charges. Like Lance Armstrong, these great sporting achievements lose their shine when cheating is implied & there’s a lot of smoke over at Manchester City.
We put this backdrop to one side, to reflect on another successful year for Pep’s team.
Taking a look at the progress, or lack there off of the rest of the league & make our predictions for next season. Who can take the throne away from Man City? Or do we all have to wait for Pep’s departure first?

Tuesday night's showdown between Man City & Tottenham promised a lot and delivered much frustration, for Ange Postecoglou and the misguided Arsenal fans who thought spurs would do them a favour. Never.
Man City collected all 3 points, and with Chelsea's win against Brighton, there is an outside chance that Tottenham may loses out on fifth spot come the end of the season. Come Sunday, how damaging might this result prove to be?

Now, with 2 games left in the season Liverpool only have the Carabao cup to show for their efforts.

Arsenal capped of a triumphant week in London, with back to back derby wins. Beating both Tottenham and Chelsea to keep the title race alive show just how far the gunners have come, but will Man City slip up and cause Arsenal to win their first title in 20 years? Well, it was made a tall order no least down to the the suspect finishing by Chris Wood, much to the chagrin of Craig.

A London derby always presents a difficult challenge & Chelsea were hoping to spoil the party. But faced with the pressure & need to maintain their momentum at the top of the table, Arsenal stood firm and blew their London rivals away. 5:0, but it could so easily have been so much more. Will Chelsea make a late push for Europe? Or will this result, coming off the back of a late defeat to Man City in the FA Cup semi final see their season drift to another disappointing end?

The margins at the top of the Premier League table are so fine, and the teams need to be practically perfect to deny Manchester City from winning a fourth consecutive title. Arsenal & Liverpool both slipped up at home, in a similar fashion, with both games dominated by quality moments from the opposition but wasteful finishing from the hosts. As the mistake hands the impetus to Man City, the big question remains: will they have another opportunity to claim the top spot?

Virgil Van Dijk rose highest to ensure that Liverpool were victorious in the Carabao cup final against Chelsea, potentially kickstarting an historic quadruple in Jurgen Klopp's last season. Following his imperious performance in this match, is Virgil the greatest centre back in Premier League history? And how will Chelsea respond to this disappointment? With Arteta's Arsenal enacting revenge against Newcastle, following the controversial result at St James part earlier in the season, will the pundits start to take Arsenal's title credentials more seriously? Can Manchester United make the top four?

It's shaping up to be one of the closest title races in recent seasons, with 4 teams strongly in contention and yet the controversial refereeing continues. A soft red card for Jordan Ayew against Liverpool and x-ray vision spotting Kai Havertz's handball against Aston Vila left us with more questions than answers. Are the referees going to influence this title race, or will they commit themselves to improving?

A five goal thriller at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium saw Chelsea run away with all three points. The spotlight was on VAR, and the gameplay definitely lived up to the Monday night football drama. Any key take aways from this game or will the VAR debate rage on?

Erik Ten Hag was hoping for a better start to the 2023/24 season, however poor refereeing performances and even a worse showing from his players have contributed to a slow start to the season.
