Welcome to the second part of our 2025/26 Season Review!
After covering the first seven clubs (by alphabetical order) in Part 1, we discuss the seasons of the other 13 clubs in this episode! Interspersed in that is a feisty debate about whether Premier League football has become too politicised.
We end by covering the travesty (no neutrals here) that was the climax of the Scottish title race.

It's been a while, both since our last episode and since we recorded this one... (apologies in advance!)
The dust has settled on an intriguing, if somewhat dull, 2025/26 Premier League season. In this episode, we unpack how the first seven clubs fared (by alphabetical order).
Starting and spending the first third of the episode on our beloved Arsenal (well, at least for one of us), we discuss whether the Gunners deserve a lot of credit for winning the league or whether they won simply because most of the other top teams were so poor; the positives and negatives of the style of play Arsenal used this season; and, unbeliveably, whether Mikel Arteta is the right man to continue leading the club (this was only a point of discussion because one of us believes he isn't... and it's not the person writing this podcast description!).
The rest of the episode covers the ups of Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Brentford and Brighton, the downs of Burnley, and whatever the hell happened at Chelsea this year.
Stay tuned for Part 2, in which the performances of the other 13 clubs are analysed!

All is not well at Liverpool Football Club... Despite an excellent win at Inter, Mo Salah's comments at the weekend threw another spanner into an already unsettled season. We start this episode of the TCF Sport podcast by discussing whether we think Salah was right to say what he said, what it means for his and Arne Slot's futures at Anfield, and how the situation can be resolved.
Crystal Palace are next on the agenda after Oliver Glasner also spoke candidly following the Eagles' defeat against Manchester United. The Austrian is clearly building something special at Selhurst Park, but will he still be at the helm next season? The answer to that question could depend on how heavily the Board invest in the squad in January...
Arsenal suffered their first defeat since August following a late Emiliano Buendia winner at Villa Park. More worringly for the Gunners, that's now three big away Premier League games in a row they've failed to win. So, is Mikel Arteta's side good enough to win the Premier League? Or will they lose out to Manchester City for the third time in four seasons?
Of course, Aston Villa themselves can't be discounted after winning 9 of their last 10 top flight fixtures. Or can they? We discuss whether Unai Emery's side is in the title race, and what's next for Harvey Elliott after his move to Villa Park hasn't worked out.
Talking points around Tottenham, Newcastle, Everton, Sunderland and Wolves follow, before we finish the episode by reacting to the draw for the 2026 World Cup draw. This includes an excellent idea for how the format of the World Cup can be improved, so stick around!

A dramatic international break is over, and domestic football is back uninterrupted until March!
While this episode was recorded before Matchweek 12 began, both the relegation battle and Tottenham's turgid performances were high on the agenda. For one of us, it's clear which three clubs will be relegated come May (sorry Leeds). Following a string of poor home performances, we also discuss whether Thomas Frank is under pressure in North London, and which of his players he needs to drop to the bench for a few weeks.
Before that, we also run through the recent international break, giving credit to Scotland (well, one of us does) for qualifying for the World Cup and questioning Thomas Tuchel's selection of certain players in England's World Cup qualifiers.
We end on a different note, looking through the predictions each club's fanbase made before the season started to see just how accurate (or deluded) they were.

Welcome to the 100th episode of the TCF Sport podcast! Well, 100 audio episodes, that is. We still have a fair way to go before we hit 100 video episodes, but that didn't stop us from spending the first 10 minutes of this podcast reminiscing about some of our favourite moments from recording so far. Naturally, Arsenal feature...
With the nostalgia out of the way, we turn our attention to current Premier League talking points, beginning with the Gunners. Since we last recorded, Arsenal have beaten Newcastle, Olympiacos, West Ham, Fulham and Atletico Madrid. So, has Steve changed his stance on Mikel Arteta? We also give our views on Viktor Gyokeres' start to life in North London, asking if he has improved Arteta's side (one of us definitely thinks so).
After that, we turn our attention to the current soap opera club of the Premier League: Nottingham Forest. Postecoglou's 39-day tenure ended without a single win, but did he deserve more time? Whether he did or not, we both agree that it's great to have Sean Dyche back managing in the top flight.
Tottenham are next on our agenda, as we discuss whether Thomas Frank's team have flattered to deceive so far this season, and if their underwhelming performances are going under the radar. We then analyse Liverpool's struggles, before updating our relegation predictions.
Finally, we round out the episode with a brief discussion on Celtic's and Rangers' struggles in Scotland (to Hearts' gain), Graham Potter's new role with the Swedish National Team, and the quirks of Michael Owen.

Welcome back to the TCF Sport podcast! Since we last recorded, there's been significant change at West Ham, as Graham Potter got the chop and was replaced by Nuno Espirito Santo. We begin this episode by discussing whether the appointment of Nuno is a good one for the Hammers, and if the Portuguese can save the club from relegation this season. After his stock has declined since leaving Brighton, we also ask whether Graham Potter will get another Premier League job.
Arsenal are next up on our agenda. Following criticism of Mikel Arteta that he needs to take the handbrake off the Gunners (before their excellent win at Newcastle), we give our opinions on who we think makes up the club's best XI. After two Premier League defeats in a row for Chelsea, we also discuss whether Enzo Maresca is under pressure at Stamford Bridge, and whether he ought to be.
Harry Kane then gets a mention after he scored his 100th goal in 104 games for Bayern Munich, beating the previous record held by Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland. Finally, there are mentions for Sunderland, Wolves and Manchester United as we round out the episode.

Mr Marinakis, what have you done? That's the first question we ask on this episode of the TCF Sport podcast, as we dissect the managerial change at Nottingham Forest. That includes Nuno's fallout with Edu, whether Postecoglou is the right man to take over at the City Ground, and how long the Australian will last in the post.
There has also been a big change at Posetecoglou's former club in recent weeks, with long-time Executive Chairman Daniel Levy being relieved of his duties at Tottenham. We explore Levy's legacy, asking if the 63-year-old has been a success in North London.
Discussion about the major ins and outs of the summer transfer window follows, before attention turns to all matters on the pitch from the opening weeks of the Premier League. This includes a good debate on Mikel Arteta, with a disagreement over whether he is the right manager to get Arsenal across the winning line and achieve success at the club. VAR and the re-refereeing of top-flight games, West Ham, Manchester City, and the three promoted sides also feature.

Before it kicks off, we've given our predictions for the campaign, stating where we think every club will finish!

WE APOLOGISE FOR ANY BACKGROUND NOISE YOU HEAR THROUGHOUT THE EPISODE.
The new season is almost upon us! Before we turn our attention to predictions for the 2025/26 Premier League campaign, however, we run through all of the transfer news and rumours of the last few weeks.
That begins with Newcastle United after the Magpies were rocked by Alexander Isak's news that he wants to leave and join Liverpool. After discussing where Isak could end up and the implications for the rest of the league if the Reds get him, we run through the recent transfer business conducted by Manchester United, West Ham, Manchester City, Sunderland, Tottenham, and Arsenal. There is an extended discussion around the two North London clubs following Son's departure to LAFC and Arsenal's signing of Viktor Gyokeres.
The final quarter of the episode covers other off-pitch news, specifically Luke Shaw's comments that Manchester United should be challenging for the league title, UEFA's (disgraceful) ruling that Crystal Palace cannot play Europa League football this season, and Santi Cazorla and Real Oviedo's heroics at the backend of the last campaign.

This week's episode starts with the recent news that Thomas Partey has been charged with five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault in separate incidents between 2021 and 2022. Specifically, we ask whether Arsenal should have continued to play Partey over the last few seasons, and whether the club deserves criticism for their handling of the player and the situation.
We then move to on-field matters, starting with the reaction to Jurgen Klopp's criticism of the Club World Cup, before turning to Brentford's appointment of Keith Andrews.
The second half of this episode focuses on transfer developments, including the five first-team players who have been shown the exit door at Manchester United, Chelsea's purchase of Joao Pedro, and Kyle Walker's and Mohammed Kudus' moves to Burnley and Tottenham, respectively.
Finally, we turn our attention to England, questioning the senior men's side's recent performances against Andorra and Senegal, before (deservedly) praising the U21s for their triumph at the European Championship in Slovakia.

Season 3 has been cancelled at Tottenham! This episode of the TCF Sport podcast begins with Daniel Levy's decision to sack Ange Postecoglou, including a discussion of whether it was the correct call, and if Thomas Frank is the right man to replace the Australian. We include focus on the Europa League Final in the same conversation, covering Manchester United and their pursuit of Bryan Mbeumo, too.
From there, attention stays on the Europa League, specifically the delay in UEFA's ruling on whether Crystal Palace will be able to play in the competition next season. We then turn our heads to the Premier League, giving out our individual awards for the 2024/25 campaign.
Finally, we engage in a bit of silly season at the end of the podcast, providing our thoughts on the confirmed transfers and the many rumours swirling about...

FOOTBALL IS HEALING!!! Crystal Palace's win against Manchester City in the FA Cup final on Saturday was absolutely brilliant for all involved with the Eagles. To give Oliver Glasner's side sufficient credit, we spend the first part of this episode talking exclusively about Palace's performance, before moving on to dissect whether Manchester City are in need of a significant rebuild at the Etihad over the summer.
We then turn our attention to the Europa League final between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur. As two Arsenal fans, we ask if the winners of Wednesday's final will have had a better season than Mikel Arteta's side. We also analyse who the final is more important for, who we think will win, and whether the winners should qualify for next season's Champions League.
Discussion about the Champions League semi-finals follows as we give our opinions on whether Arteta is under pressure to start winning silverware and if there is a deeper cultural problem at the Emirates that has caused Arsenal to become nearly men. We also cover the brilliant Barcelona-Inter Milan tie, asking if it's the greatest Champions League semi-final ever played.
The final part of the episode returns to league matters in all four of England's professional divisions. We discuss Evangelos Marinakis' very public display of dissatisfaction at Nottingham Forest following their draw against Leicester, some Liverpool fans' booing of Trent Alexander-Arnold, and our favourite Goodison Park memories. We round out the episode by discussing the upcoming play-off finals in the Championship, League One and League Two.

It's a European theme for the TCF Sport podcast this week as we look ahead to the UEFA Champions League semi-finals! Arsenal welcome PSG to the Emirates on Tuesday, while Inter Milan travel to Barcelona on Wednesday in arguably the most evenly matched semi-final match-ups in years... Who will come out on top in both ties? We discuss that, as well as Arsenal's chances in detail, for the first section of this episode.
We then do the same for the Europa League, giving our views on Tottenham and Manchester United's chances in that competition, as well as dissecting Manchester United's bonkers win against Lyon last time out.
The second half of the episode returns to domestic matters in England, covering Jamie Vardy's best antics at Leicester, Unai Emery's striker dilemma, Wolves' incredible form under Vitor Pereira, and Crystal Palace's superb win in the FA Cup semi-final.

Welcome back to the TCF Sport podcast! Following the news that Kevin De Bruyne will be leaving Manchester City at the end of the season, this episode starts with an exploration into who City's GOAT is: De Bruyne, David Silva, Vincent Kompany, Richard Dunne, or other?
The biggest focus of the podcast is Ange Postecoglou. After the Australian cupped his ear to Tottenham fans jeering his decisions against Chelsea, we ask when his relationship with the Spurs faithful broke down. With Tottenham linked with several other Premier League managers, we also question how long Postecoglou has left at the club, but also if those managers that are linked would be better staying put at their current teams.
The second half of the episode covers Chelsea and Jadon Sancho, Manchester United's new stadium concept, Trent Alexander-Arnold's impending departure to Real Madrid, Graham Potter's underwhelming start at West Ham, and the contract issues Andrea Berta has inherited as Arsenal's Sporting Director. There's also focus on Newcastle's Carabao Cup celebrations, the final four in the FA Cup, and the BBC Chairman's recent comments that Match of the Day should be more analysis, less highlights...

Welcome back to the TCF Sport podcast!
In this episode, we dissect Thomas Tuchel's rather underwhelming first England squad, giving our views on the inclusion of players such as Jordan Henderson and Marcus Rashford, the former being called up at the expense of players such as Conor Gallagher, Adam Wharton, and Elliot Anderson.
We then move on to review the Champions League Round of 16, including Atletico Madrid's controversial penalty defeat to Real Madrid, before previewing Arsenal and Aston Villa's Quarter-Final chances.
The final third of the episode turns to recent Premier League action, with Chelsea, Brighton, Bournemouth and Brentford's form all under the microscope.

Welcome back to another episode of the TCF Sport podcast!
With both ends of the table seemingly wrapped up at the end of February, this week starts with the question of: is this one of the most boring Premier League seasons of all time? And while our opinions are negative, we do point to some of the bright spots of this campaign, giving praise where it's due to the clubs who have over performed.
Over the course of this discussion, we also ask if Liverpool being top of the league by 13 points is due to their excellence, because the teams below them have been poor, or somewhere in-between. We then cover Arsenal's goalscoring and transfer issues in detail, before giving our predictions for who we think will finish in the Champions League places this season.
The second half of the episode turns to teams further down the league, starting with Leicester's dismal run of form under Ruud van Nistelrooy, before we look ahead to the return of the Champions League, giving our views for who we think will make the final at the end of May. After the fun we had naming our favourite strikers from Barclays era of the Premier League, we then finish by naming some of the Barclaysmen to have played at Bolton Wanderers!

Welcome back to the TCF Sport podcast!
In this episode, we go off on a nostalgia-filled tangent reminiscing about the Premier League in the late 90s and 2000s - and it was absolutely brilliant! So if you remember the likes of Leroy Lita, Tugay, Kenwyne Jones, Kevin Doyle, Papiss Cisse and so many more, stick around!
Before then, we cover the main talking points in the English top flight over the last few weeks, including Mitoma's worldie against Chelsea, Liverpool's recent form, Arsenal's injury crisis, and Oliver Glasner's one-year anniversary in charge of Crystal Palace. There's also a comprehensive roundup of the recent FA Cup action, including a discussion on why this year's competition is as open as it has been for a while.

Welcome to a session of catharsis as we spend the first 20 minutes of this week's episode letting our frustration out at Michael Oliver's decision to send off Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly against Wolves last Saturday. After discussing the decision and the tackle itself, we move on to the question of if there is an issue of corruption amongst Premier League referees, or if the problem is just one of incompetence.
Once we have worked through our anger, we move on to discuss the penalty Everton won against Brighton at the weekend, Robert Sanchez's struggles in goal for Chelsea, and the Manchester United board's letter to fans that the club is at risk of a PSR breach. We round off the episode by giving our views on another difficult day for Ange Postecoglou after his side suffered defeat at home to Leicester, and if the new Champions League format has so far been a success.

On this episode of the TCF Sport podcast, we start by discussing Ruben Amorim's comments that his side is "the worst team, maybe, in the history of Manchester United" following the club's defeat against Brighton at the weekend. We also ask if Manchester United fans will stick by Amorim regardless of how bad it gets and if the club should have ever got rid of David de Gea.
We then move on to a discuss a Manchester United legend turned manager: Ruud van Nistelrooy. Specifically, we give our views on his difficult start to life as Leicester boss, the Foxes now having lost their last 7 Premier League games in a row under his tenure.
After giving our praise to Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth for how they have performed this season, we then turn to a bit of transfer chat before finishing with our score predictions for this weekend's Premier League action.

Welcome back to the TCF Sport podcast! This week's episode focuses on the managerial changes at West Ham and Everton, as the former decided to replace Julen Lopetegui with Graham Potter and the latter elected to appoint David Moyes after parting ways with Sean Dyche. We discuss these decisions, focusing on if Lopetegui and Dyche were unlucky to lose their jobs and if Potter and Moyes are good replacements.
We also cover some of the weekend's FA Cup action, focusing especially on Tamworth taking Tottenham to extra time and holders Manchester United beating 14-time champions Arsenal on penalties at the Emirates.

Happy New Year! For our first podcast of 2025, we start by analysing some of the controversial refereeing decisions in the Tottenham vs Newcastle and Brighton vs Arsenal games at the weekend. After letting out our anger at the penalty given against William Saliba, we turn to Arsenal's performance in the same game, also discussing our frustration at why it takes Arsenal players so long to take set pieces and if Mikel Arteta should persist with playing Thomas Partey at RB.
The middle part of the episode focuses on Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham. On United, we discuss matters on the pitch, asking if their recent run of results mean the club is in a relegation battle. On Liverpool, we talk about events off the field, asking if the noise around the contracts of their three star players could derail their season. On Tottenham, we do a deep dive on issues both on the pitch and off the pitch, returning to Ange Postecoglou's reluctance to adapt his style of play and the club's transfer business under Daniel Levy.
The latter third of the episode focuses on talking points for 8 other Premier League clubs. To finish, we update our predictions given at the start of the season before turning to the promotion race in the Championship and Plymouth's decision to part ways with Wayne Rooney.
As ever, we hope you enjoy. Here's to another year of some excellent football and good content!

It's the Christmas episode of the TCF Sport podcast! Fittingly, we begin by talking about the recent Premier League sackings, asking if both Gary O'Neil and Russell Martin deserved more time at Wolves and Southampton respectively. With Eddie Howe and Sean Dyche the only two English managers left in the Premier League, we also discuss why we as a country lack world class managers and debate who the best English managers in the game currently are.
We then turn to the Carabao Cup, giving our views on the recent Quarter-Finals before looking ahead to the Semi-Final ties. Discussion on Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool follows, covering another injury for Mason Mount and our thoughts on where Marcus Rashford should go, Cole Palmer's ability and if Chelsea are in a title race, and whether Liverpool should be looking to move Darwin Nunez on next Summer.
The final part of the episode focuses on Arsenal. As Mikel Arteta has now been in charge of the club for five years, we start by reviewing his time in charge so far. We then turn to the form of Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli before debating how good Bukayo Saka actually is. We end our discussion of Arsenal with the question: is the club too reliant on set pieces?
Lastly, from both of us, we hope you have a very Merry Christmas and New Year. Thank you for supporting the channel and the podcast so far, it means a great deal as we continue to grow and put ourselves out there. There will be more content to follow in 2025, so stay tuned!

Welcome back to the TCF Sport podcast! On this episode, we begin by discussing the news that Dan Ashworth has left his role as Sporting Director at Manchester United after just 5 months. Following this, we analyse Ruben Amorim's start to life in Manchester, focusing on the amount of rotation he has introduced between games and asking if he has been too critical of his players so far.
After that, we analyse a range of talking points at multiple clubs, from who should start up top for Crystal Palace to Brentford's form under Thomas Frank. We also give our thoughts on if some teams are trying to play out from the back too much at the moment (Southampton and Wolves, we're looking at you...).
The second half of the episode then turns to Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal, with discussion on Jamie Carragher's view that van Dijk is the best Centre Back the Premier League has ever seen, if Manchester City are in need of a reset of their squad, and if Arsenal are the new Stoke City.

We're back after a few weeks away! On this week's episode, we start by discussing the fallout following the release of a video showing referee David Coote criticising Liverpool and their then manager Jurgen Klopp, asking the question: can he referee in the Premier League again?
Following a quick segment covering Gary Lineker's departure at Match of the Day, we then have the most heated debate in over two years of recording, disagreeing on whether Harry Kane is world class or not. It's definitely worth a listen as we both strongly disagree on the parameters each other use to define whether a player is world class.
The second half of the episode covers the main Premier League talking points since we last recorded, beginning with Leicester's sacking of Steve Cooper and subsequent appointment of Ruud van Nistelrooy.

On this week's episode of the TCF Sport podcast, we start by covering the top end of the Premier League table, analysing whether Liverpool are now favourites to win the League and if less points will be required to win the title this season by comparison to previous years.
We then turn to Edu's shock exit from his role as Sporting Director at Arsenal, discussing if and how that will affect the club on and off the pitch.
The main talking points from Matchweek 10 are also covered, including Forest's excellent form, West Ham's continued struggles under Julen Lopetegui, and Wolves picking up some much needed points. We finish by providing an update on scores related to our predictions and the race to avoid the end of season forfeit, including additional data that we have compiled in the last week.

Welcome back to the TCF Sport podcast. On this episode, we cover last week's Ballon d'Or ceremony, giving our opinions on whether Rodri was a deserving winner, Real Madrid's decision to boycott the ceremony, and who we think is the best player to have never won the award. We then turn to Manchester United's decision to sack Erik ten Hag following their defeat at West Ham, analysing whether INEOS should have made the decision after the FA Cup win in the Summer.
The rest of the episode covers the other main talking points from MW9 in the Premier League, including Liverpool's draw at Arsenal, Tottenham's defeat at Crystal Palace, and Ipswich throwing away a two goal lead in their loss to Brentford.

On this week's episode of the TCF Sport podcast, we talk about some of the major refereeing decisions that have been made across Matchweeks 8 and 9 in the Premier League. With referees having seemingly gone to the VAR monitor more and more in recent weeks, leading to the overturning of decisions that aren't necessarily clear and obvious, we discuss if Premier League games are now being re-refereed, and if that is a problem.
We also discuss whether Morgan Rogers deserves a call up to the England Men's National Team and if Dominic Calvert-Lewin deserves a contract extension at Everton, before doing a short round-up of European football towards the end of the episode.

Welcome back to the TCF Sport podcast!
In this episode, we start off by discussing the big news from the world of football this week: Thomas Tuchel's appointment as the next England manager. Our chat includes focus on whether we think Tuchel was the right appointment, as well as the media reaction that has since followed.
We then cover INEOS's decision at Manchester United to terminate Sir Alex Ferguson's annual multi-million pound contract for his Ambassadorial and Director roles, asking the question of whether Sir Alex should be involved in any decision-making processes at the club.
The second half of the episode then turns to clubs outside of the traditional 'Big 6' as we give our views on how each of these clubs has started the new season.
Finally, for the first time on the podcast this season, we give our score predictions for the next Gameweek.

This week's episode is a special one.
The Premier League has been blessed with some of the best players from all over the world. To pick just one player who is the best in each position is therefore a difficult task. But that is exactly what this episode is all about.
Join us as we go go through some of the biggest names to have played in the English top flight since 1992, deciding which players were better than others based on pure ability only.

In today's episode, we discuss the big talking points from the City-Arsenal clash at the Etihad in Matchweek 5, covering Arsenal's second-half tactics and their supposed use of the 'dark arts', the significance of Rodri's ACL injury, and the fallout following the game, including comments from Bernardo Silva, Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola.
We then turn our attention to the fixtures from Gameweek 6, giving our opinions on whether any other clubs will challenge Manchester City and Arsenal for the title, Brighton's high line, Everton's first win, Fulham's great start, and much more.

We also give our predictions for some of the individual awards to be won come May, rounding out the episode with a little bit of chat about recent headlines in the world of F1 and boxing.

After a hiatus over the Summer, we're back talking all things Premier League football for the 2024/25 season (and at least one of us is excited for it...). In our first episode of the new season, we review each club's start, giving our views on their performances across the first three Matchweeks and some of the transfer business that was completed while the window was open.

Ahead of the 2024/25 Premier League Season, which players from their respective squads should Erik ten Hag, Arne Slot and Mikel Arteta be moving on, and which players should they be keeping? In this episode, we discuss this in more detail, focusing on players on the fringes or with some questions over their futures at the three clubs. We also give our opinions on some of the developments elsewhere in the football world over the last few weeks, including on how Euro 2024 has started! As ever, we hope you enjoy.

The second part of our Premier League Season Review is here! In this episode, we give our respective Teams of the Seasons before handing out our nine individual awards! We also cast our eyes to next season, specifically the next forfeit on the cards for the loser of our predictions...
As mentioned at the end of the episode, thank you to every single one of our listeners for engaging with our content over the second full season of our doing this. It will always remain a hobby for both of us, but of course we hope one day to make it a career as well. Regardless, we will continue to produce content (albeit inconsistently at points) and, as such, we hope you continue to enjoy what we put out.

It's almost like the good old days of last season as we are back once again with a second episode in as many Matchweeks!
After their fourth successive defeat, Tottenham take up much of our attention at the beginning of the episode, especially with their still potentially defining role to play in the title race. There is also focus on off the field issues at Everton, before we turn our attention to Manchester City and Arsenal at the end of the episode!
We hope you enjoy!
NOTE: Our apologies for any background noise you hear, especially towards the end of the episode! The drawbacks of not yet being able to do this professionally (hint hint to any sponsors)...

Welcome back to another Casual Catch Up! From Manchester United scraping past Coventry in the FA Cup to more and more West Ham fans calling for Moyes's head, and Forest's social media meltdown after defeat at Everton to Crystal Palace's resurgence under Oliver Glasner, there's been a lot of talking points over the last few weeks. In this episode, we cover all of the above and much more! And don't ever forget while you are listening, Tottenham get battered everywhere they go!

Domestically, there's focus on Burnley, Brighton, Crystal Palace, Liverpool and Klopp, and Manchester United (again). We begin, however, with analysing one of the most exciting Championship promotion races in recent seasons, asking the question: Who actually wants to be promoted?! Enjoy!

Part 2 of our Premier League season review focuses on all of the yearly awards! So join us as we pick our respective Team of the Season, give out several individual accolades, and discuss the performance of all 20 Premier League clubs!
The 2022/23 Premier League season is over! As such, it's only customary we go over some of its most memorable moments while also analysing each club's performance... In this episode we do exactly this, starting with the traditional 'Top Six,' the three relegated sides and the three promoted sides (who all managed to survive!).
Stay tuned for Part 2!
It's been a while but get the word out there... WE'RE BACK UP!!! The season might be drawing to a close but join us for our first podcast in two months as we discuss all of the main talking points in the Premier League, including the now decided title race, one of the most exciting relegation battles in years, and the small matter of our predictions (and the battle to avoid the forfeit tattoo...). We hope you enjoy!
We're a little bit late with this one (apologies, we're not big time yet so unfortunately work and life get in the way sometimes!), but it was only right we still put out our Review of Matchweek 26! So join us as we laugh at Manchester United after their BATTERING at the hands of Liverpool, celebrate Arsenal's winner with the last kick of the game against Bournemouth, and praise another brilliant Brighton showing!
We're getting into the crunch part of the season now... After beating Leicester, Arsenal took full advantage of their game in hand to move 5 points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table. Tottenham also moved into pole position for the final Top 4 spot, heaping more pressure on Graham Potter in the process, while West Ham and Leeds secured huge wins against fellow relegation rivals in the race to to avoid the drop! Join us as we discuss the main talking points and more from Matchweek 25, before giving our predictions for all 10 games in another huge weekend in the Premier League!
Despite the lack of goals compared to previous weeks, it was another huge weekend in the Premier League at both ends of the table! As Manchester City dropped points, Arsenal returned to the top of the League after their dramatic late win at Aston Villa. And for the first time since October 2015, all three sides that started the weekend in the relegation zone won their respective games, leaving every club in the bottom half looking over their shoulder in what could shape up to be one of the best battles to avoid the drop in recent memory! Join us as we again dive into the main talking points from all 10 games!
IT'S OUR 50th EPISODE!!! To celebrate, we decided to review all 11 Premier League games from Matchweek 23, also giving our opinions on the charges brought against Manchester City by the Premier League and the two manager casualties that have occurred since our last recording! As ever, we hope you enjoy!
We also want to thank everyone who has listened to our content or engaged with any of our posts on social media. We may not be a big podcast or have a big following (yet...), but we absolutely adore doing this as often as we can because we love the game of football. To know our content reaches people just makes it all the sweeter. So, here's to another 50 episodes and beyond!
Sean Dyche is back! Unsurprisingly, Everton take centre stage in this episode following the Toffees' HUGE win over league leaders Arsenal. We also give our plaudits to Wolves, discuss Nathan Jones' comments after Southampton were dismantled by Brentford, and cast our opinions on whether all is right at Manchester City! Enjoy!
Arsenal keep marching on! Unsurprisingly, the Gunners' dramatic 3-2 victory over Manchester United takes centre stage in our review of Matchweek 21. Alongside that, we also delve into Everton's decision to sack Frank Lampard following their defeat at relegation rivals West Ham, news that Harry Kane is happy to extend his contract at Tottenham after he equalled Jimmy Greaves' club-record goal tally away at Fulham, and the state of Liverpool and Chelsea after the two played out a poor 0-0 draw! There's also our Matchweek 22 predictions as the race to avoid the forfeit tattoo hots up! We hope you enjoy!
I know we say it a lot, but what a weekend of football. With the Top 6 and Bottom 4 all in action against each other, and other teams up and down the league picking up vital points, there was drama, controversy and stunning performances at both ends of the table. Join us as we give our thoughts on all of the main talking points from Matchweek 20 in the Premier League (including THAT Rashford onside decision in the Manchester Derby), before turning to another HUGE weekend of action in Matchweek 21!
We're kicking off 2023 in style! With a bumper-load of football played across the last week and a half, we have a BIG podcast reviewing all the main talking points! So join us as we discuss the state of all 20 clubs, from United's little resurgence at the top end of the table, Chelsea slipping to 10th as they struggle for form under Potter, and Everton going from securing a brilliant point at Manchester City to being battered on their own patch by Brighton... As ever, we hope you enjoy! And don't forget to give your own opinions on all of our socials - just search for @tcf_sport!
Welcome to our final podcast of 2022! We end as we have spent the vast majority of our time recording so far, by talking about the Premier League! However, as well as the usual review of all 10 games over the previous Matchweek and predictions for the upcoming two Matchweeks, we also take time to reflect on 2022, giving our respective footballing highlights of the year! As per usual, we hope you enjoy.
Finally, we both want to say a huge thank you for your support since we started this back in May. At its core, this podcast is just two (sometimes three...) people talking about the game that they love. We hope this comes across in every episode, and we hope that you find every episode as engaging as we find enjoyable to record. So, once again, thank you for all your support through both listening to the podcast and engaging with our content on social media. We wish you a very happy and healthy New Year, in which we will have plenty of fresh new content coming...
THE PREMIER LEAGUE IS BACK BABY!!! After an unprecedented break for the first ever Winter World Cup, there's a full round of festive fixtures to look forward to. So join us as we preview all 10 games, discuss the state each club finds themselves in, and give our quickfire predictions for the second part of the season! Oh, and we couldn't not talk about an incredible World Cup, so there's a little review of the tournament in the first half of the episode! Enjoy!
The World Cup Final is upon us! To celebrate the biggest sporting event in the world, we've looked back through the decades of World Cup history to decide our Top 10 goals scored from the competition! So sit back and enjoy as we discuss Pele vs Sweden, Carlos Alberto vs Italy, Bergkamp vs Argentina and so much more, including the small matter of Messi vs Maradona...
Welcome to the first ever TCF Sport Top 10! To celebrate, we thought we'd also make this our first ever 3 person podcast as well! So join us as we discuss the Top 10 most iconic World Cup moments, ranking the likes of Zidane's headbutt on Marco Materazzi in the 2006 final, Maradona's 'Hand of God' against England in Mexico '86, and Germany's crushing 7-1 defeat of Brazil in the latter's own backyard in 2014! We hope you enjoy!
What a World Cup Qatar has served up so far! With shocks left, right and centre, the Group Stage was impossible to predict! That hasn't stopped us trying to predict the Knockouts, however, so join us as we attempt to do exactly that while also looking back on the festival of football Qatar has provided so far!
IT'S COMING HOME!!! Well, maybe, maybe not, but we can dream... Ahead of England kicking off their World Cup campaign against Iran, we've given our opinions on the squad Southgate has taken to Qatar, as well as the players we think the England boss should be picking in his Starting XI. So stay tuned as we discuss all things England, including a look back to how the 'Golden Generation' should have been set up tactically...
The biggest sporting event in the world is finally here! Despite all the weirdness of it taking place in winter (as well as the dubious nature of how it was awarded in the first place...), the football will hopefully put on a glorious show over the month or so. Ahead of its kick off we've given our predictions for a whole host of categories, most important of which is who we think will win the tournament. So stay tuned as we discuss Qatar 2022, as well as some of our favourite memories and moments from previous tournaments!
The final Premier League action until Boxing Day, Matchweek 16 saw Arsenal open up a 5 point gap to second place Manchester City at the top of the League! There were also huge wins for Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest in the fight to avoid relegation, while Newcastle cemented their place in the Top 4 following their win against Chelsea, their fifth consecutive victory! In our last Review for 6 weeks, we discuss all the key talking points and more!
The penultimate matchweek before the break for the World Cup saw a season-high 37 goals scored, resulting in some huge wins for Leeds, Aston Villa and Arsenal, among others! After briefly turning towards the World Cup in our introduction and going through a cheeky little quiz, we dissect all the major talking points before giving our final weekly predictions until Boxing Day!
We're a week late, but our Matchweek 14 Review is here! Stay tuned as we discuss all the action from the Premier League two weekends ago! And once again, sorry for the late upload because much of this podcast is now out of date considering the fast nature of the football world, but the podcast was still incredibly enjoyable and an interesting one at that! So, if you do listen to it, we hope you enjoy!
What a couple of weeks of football! In this episode, we again review all 10 Premier League games from last weekend, as well as looking back to some of the midweek fixtures in the previous Matchweek! So stay tuned as we discuss all the main talking points from England's top flight, before giving our predictions for the upcoming round of fixtures! Enjoy!
Decisions, decisions, decisions! That was pretty much the theme of the podcast, refereeing decisions (and non-decisions) dominating much of last weekend's action in the Premier League! So join us we delve into the key talking points from all 10 games, before giving our predictions for this weekend's action! And spoiler alert, for once we spent the majority of the podcast disagreeing with each other...
Matchweek 10 served up yet another brilliant weekend of football. Arsenal stayed top of the league after a pulsating victory at home to Liverpool, Manchester City and Newcastle enjoyed big wins over Southampton and Brentford respectively, and Graham Potter continued his good start at Chelsea as they enjoyed a comfortable win at home to Wolves! We analyse the main talking points from all 10 Premier League games before turning our eye to this weekend, in which there's just the small matter of Liverpool vs Manchester City... We also run through the 9 midweek games next week and reveal the forfeit for the person with the least amount of points at the end of the season... As ever, we hope you enjoy!
What a weekend of Premier League football! Arsenal got the better of North London rivals Tottenham, City battered United in the highest scoring Manchester Derby of all-time, and a James Maddison-inspired Leicester registered their first win of the season after putting 4 past Nottingham Forest in the East Midlands Derby! With three hat-tricks scored, there were also some stellar individual performances! We dissect it all before giving our predictions for Matchweek 10! Enjoy, and don't forget to get involved on the socials!
What a weekend of Premier League action we have in store. With all 20 clubs back playing in the same week for the first time since the start of September, there are two huge derbies to look forward to on Saturday and Sunday, Tottenham travelling to Arsenal in the North London Derby before City take on United in the Manchester Derby. Elsewhere, Graham Potter takes charge of his first league game at the helm of Chelsea as they visit Crystal Palace, while basement boys Leicester and Nottingham Forest face off in the East Midlands Derby under the lights on Monday night. So stay tuned as we give our predictions for all 10 games, with plenty of moments of chaos in-between...
Premier League football is back this weekend! Before then, though, we have another special podcast for you! In this episode, we look back at each side's summer transfer window, grading them based on an analysis of their key Ins and Outs! If (when) you disagree with our opinions, make sure to get involved and comment on our Instagram page! Thanks for listening!
YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS! We're a bit late to the party, but in this podcast we discuss new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly's idea for a Premier League All-Star game made up of an XI from the 10 Northern clubs and an XI from the 10 Southern clubs! After giving our general thoughts on the idea, we then give our own respective XIs, before discussing whether the North or South would win were the game to become reality (as you can expect, that bit didn't take long!). We hope you enjoy!
With a big win for Tottenham and impressive performances from Arsenal, Manchester City and Fulham, Matchweek 8 in the Premier League did not disappoint! That is besides the odd game, of course (we're looking at you, Villa and Southampton...) Nonetheless, there were plenty of talking points for us to get into in the final round of fixtures before the international break! So stay tuned as we dissect each game and each team in depth, before taking stock of the opening weeks of the Premier League. We hope you enjoy!
Football is BACK (again)!!! After the postponement of all 10 fixtures last week, we have 7 guaranteed games to get our teeth into this week! Stand by as we run through each Premier League game that is on this weekend, giving our score predictions and our thoughts on the main talking points. In our new introductory segment, there's also a question that is sure to divide many Manchester United fans... We hope you enjoy!
It's a week late but, with no football this weekend, there's still plenty of time to reflect on Matchweek 6 in the Premier League! Join us as we dive into all 10 games (including a lengthy analysis of Manchester United vs Arsenal in which biases were not held back...), giving our opinions on all the key talking points. We hope you enjoy!
THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE IS BACK BABY!
To celebrate the greatest club competition on the planet, we've recorded a little preview for you all to enjoy! Stay tuned as we discuss who we think will win this year's competition and which players will shine, as well as some of our favourite memories from the competition. For all headphone wearers, we also apologise in advance for the first 30 seconds...
PLEASE NOTE: You may hear some background noise, especially in the opening 10 minutes. We apologise for this but it couldn't be edited out!
As the Premier League fixtures keep coming thick and fast, so do the podcasts! We are back again to review the first midweek round of fixtures in the 2022/23 season. We also cast our eyes ahead to this weekend's action, with the Merseyside Derby and Manchester United vs Arsenal among the standout games. Stand by for plenty of South Park and Family Guy references, as well as some reminiscing about previous Arsenal vs Manchester United fixtures, as this podcast developed into chaos!
The first midweek round of Premier League fixtures is here! But before we give our predictions for all 10 games happening over the next three days, there's just the small matter of reviewing last weekend's action! Join us as we dissect every game in depth, giving our opinions on all the key talking points!
PLEASE NOTE: We apologise for any background noise you may hear throughout the course of this episode. We tried to keep it to a minimum, but unfortunately you may still be able to hear some of it!
What a start to the Premier League season! Matchweek 3 was yet another brilliant weekend of action, with several of the games being absolute barnstormers. Stay tuned as we analyse all 10 games and 20 teams in depth, before turning to our predictions for Matchweek 4! You certainly won't want to miss those as if they're anything like last week, we will be very wrong once again!
The third Matchweek is upon us! Stay tuned as we preview all of the weekend's Premier League action, giving our predictions along the way!
Falling on its 30th Anniversary, Matchweek 2 again showed why the Premier League is the best and most exciting league in the world! From Men vs Under 9s to touchline confrontations, a Belgian magician to a Brazilian superstar, we discuss it all! As ever, please get involved and give your own opinions on our socials because we want to hear from as many football fans as possible and we always respond! Thank you again for listening - we hope you enjoy!
Welcome to a very special podcast! On the 30th Anniversary of the Premier League, it was only right for us to give our opinions on who we think makes up the All-time Premier League XI. A virtually impossible task given the talent that has graced the English top-flight over the past three decades, there are sure to be many picks - and many players who we have left out - that raise eyebrows. Nonetheless, we hope you enjoy our discussion (and our reasoning!) as we look back on the elite of the elite and some of our favourite Premier League moments. But more importantly, whether you agree or disagree with our teams, get your views in with your own XIs on our socials! We love to hear the opinions of all football fans, so get involved! Thank you for listening!
How good does it feel to have Premier League football back?!? Matchweek 1 threw up a few surprises, some excellent team and individual performances, and some not so excellent ones. Stay tuned as we dissect all 10 games in detail before turning to Matchweek 2 and giving our predictions for this weekend's action! There's also plenty of laughs with some unexpected quotes, new segments and classic references in what is definitely our best podcast yet!

Stand by for our picks on top goalscorer, top playmaker, golden glove, Player of the Season, Young Player of the Season, Signing of the Season, biggest flop, player we are most looking forward to seeing, most improved from last season, overachievers and underachievers!

FOOTBALL IS BACK! Well, it nearly is. With less than a week to go until the new Premier League season kicks off, we give our opinions on each club, attempting to predict what the whole table will look like come the end of the season. Prepare for some controversial calls as we start what will be a big season of content! We hope you enjoy!
Without doubt, Arsene Wenger is one of the greatest managers football has ever seen. 7 FA Cups and 3 Premier League titles, including the infamous unbeaten season of 2003/04, mean the Frenchman will forever be etched in both the history of Arsenal Football Club and the Premier League. Yet, with the squads he assembled in North London, could he have achieved more?
In this episode, we dissect that very question, analysing Wenger's 22-year stint as Arsenal manager to ask: Did he underachieve?
On paper, Gareth Southgate is the second best England manager of all-time. Yet, following a poor run in the Nations League, and seemingly unwilling to develop a more expansive style of play, a majority of fans are now calling for his removal. In this episode, we therefore discuss that key question: Is Gareth Southgate the right man to manage England?
In this episode, we look ahead to the opening day Premier League fixtures! With just three weeks to go until the new season kicks off, we evaluate the current state of each club, analysing their transfer business so far and giving our early opinions on what sort of season we think they are in for. We hope you enjoy!
PLEASE NOTE: Some of the transfer business has changed since we recorded this podcast!
In the final episode of our Keep or Sell mini-series, we cover Manchester City! Back-to-back champions under Pep Guardiola for a second time last season, theoretically there shouldn't be much need for a high turnover of players in their squad. Or does it? Join us as we analyse City's squad in depth, giving our views on which players we would keep and which we would sell, and as we discuss what City need to do to win that elusive first Champions League.
PLEASE NOTE: This podcast was recorded a few weeks ago, so some transfer news may have since changed! Thank you for listening!
The penultimate Keep or Sell, this episode we focus on Liverpool. Despite missing out on the two biggest prizes, Jurgen Klopp's men enjoyed a strong 2021/22, winning both domestic cups. Theoretically, that should mean that there should be little turnover in players coming in and going out. Or does it? Join us as we dissect the Liverpool squad, deciding which players we would each Keep and Sell, and as we discuss whether Liverpool can usurp Manchester City next season!
PLEASE NOTE: This podcast was recorded a few weeks ago, so some transfer news may have since changed. Thank you for listening!
The fourth episode of our Keep or Sell mini-series, in this podcast we talk all things Chelsea. Following on from a tumultuous end to the season off the pitch, it is set to be a big summer of change at the Blues. That could mean a number of incomings and outgoings, of which we discuss extensively. We hope you enjoy!
PLEASE NOTE: This podcast was recorded a few weeks ago, so some transfer information may have since changed! Thank you for listening!
Following on from Manchester United and Arsenal, our next Keep or Sell focuses on Tottenham. Enjoying a strong finish to the 21/22 season under Conte, the North London club have already done some business in the transfer market, as we discuss. We also give our views on which players Spurs should be moving on this summer, as well as what they can expect to achieve next season. We hope you enjoy!
PLEASE NOTE: This podcast was recorded a few weeks ago, so some transfer information has since changed!
In the second episode of our Keep or Sell mini-series, we discuss all things Arsenal.
