Lewis-Skelly’s Derby, the Most Spiritually Onside Goal of All Time, and the Premier League Battle
It was a busy midweek set of fixtures, so Musa and Ryan shout out some chaos in Germany and Spain, including one of the most spiritually onside goals of all time (03:23), before turning their attention to the Premier League (05:36). They talk about the north London derby, including praise for Myles Lewis-Skelly (12:31), before defending Spurs and other clubs battling the Premier League’s depth (18:46). They discuss Forest and Liverpool’s brilliant draw (24:51), Newcastle and Isak continuing their run of form, and the rest of the midweek Premier League results. Finally, they head to Serie A (40:00), where there were draws galore, plus there’s a rethink of the Serie A Coach of the Month award.

Incredible Isak, Ange's Plea, and Weird Footballs
Musa and Ryan begin with a quick chat about Julen Lopetegui being sacked by West Ham and replaced with Graham Potter (01:22), before moving on to this week’s EFL Cup semifinals. They start with Spurs’ 1-0 win over Liverpool (05:27), where Ange Postecoglou and Arne Slot were as unimpressed as the rest of us with the VAR stadium announcement. They then move on to Newcastle’s win at Arsenal (15:24), with a lot of love for Alexander Isak, how Arsenal could really do with a player like him and whether the League Cup or Champions League qualification is more important for Newcastle long term. Finally, there’s shout-outs for Nottingham Forest, Milan’s Supercoppa win, and more.

A Very Entertaining, Cold, Rainy Evening at Anfield
What a game it was at Anfield! So, that’s where Musa and Ryan begin this week, diving straight into Liverpool and Manchester United’s 2-2 draw (04:00). There’s chat about the goals, the drama, and how it left the Premier League title race (22:21) following Arsenal’s draw away at Brighton, plus wins for Manchester City and Newcastle United. They then head to Spain, where there was some late Real Madrid madness at Mestalla (27:04), before touching on the Dani Olmo Barcelona news (32:10) and some managerial change at Milan—recorded before their Supercoppa final win over Inter—and Union Berlin.
