Jack, Zach and Emoz return to discuss one of the biggest debates in modern football: do managers warrant more loyalty, respect and time than they often seem to get? We contrast the differing recent styles of the bigger clubs, asking whether style or success is the more important factor in managerial appointments. There’s also a look at the dangerous reactionary approach taken by less successful clubs like Watford and the alarming stagnation of clubs like Newcastle and Everton.
Jack takes the reigns as Emoz and Zach join him to discuss Southgate’s hugely controversial latest England squad. And it’s fair to say they’re not in agreement with large parts of Southgate’s selection. Has he got it all wrong at the back? Should Bellingham and other youngsters be in there? How on earth has Dier made the squad? And how has he left out the 4th highest scorer in the league? A look also at the Champions League and the sacking of Chris Wilder
We go to our namesake roots this week, inspecting and debating recent decisions in the premier league, whilst analysing the general state of officiating in the best division in the world. Is the technology or referees the problem? Has it been the “same for everyone” this term? And why do hairlines get a mention?
This week the fellas have been discussing the most exciting youth prospects on the books at the top clubs in England and throughout the PL? Is the future of English football in good hands with this new crop of players?
This week the lads have been discussing and debating who they think makes the best XI for the whole of the Premier League era. Are current Liverpool and City players worthy of a place? Can you justify including someone who never won the competition? And which former Everton players did Will try and include?
We’re back this week to discuss all things English mangers. Who’s doing well? Is the new crop of young English managers the future of football, or are the experienced old-timers still leading the way? And what about club legends like Frank and Stevie?
Will hosts as Emoz and Jack clash before the huge game between their two clubs on Sunday. Zach and Jerome offer the supposedly unbiased views in a fiercely debated Combined XI, discussing all the key points before the big clash along the way, including key match-ups in the predicted lineups. Also, predictions for how the table will look come may.
Join Will, Zach, Jack and Emoz as they fiercely debate each PL club’s most important players. Also, has Super Frank ran out of time at Zach’s Chelsea? And who’s gonna win the Cup?
