    Episode 190 - The Real Reason Iraola Will Succeed At Liverpool + What It Actually Takes to Rebuild a Football Club

    2026/06/01 | 1h 9 mins.
    On this episode, Ted opens up about the reality of rebuilding two women's teams at once, what he has learned, and why he is genuinely excited about the window they are putting together this summer. Then Patrick and Ted break down the Champions League final, making the case that Arsenal were far better than the result suggests and that PSG won it with whisker thin margins. Is Morgan Rogers the right fit for Arsenal? They dig into the data and explain why the price tag does not make sense. Ted then gives his take on why Iraola is a perfect fit for Liverpool, why Alonso was never going to work there, and why Senesi may be following him through the door at Anfield. Enjoy!

    Episode 188 - What Enzo Maresca MUST Do To Save Man City

    2026/05/20 | 44 mins.
    Arsenal are Premier League champions for the first time in 20 years. Hayden and Neel break down how they did it, what made this team different, and what they need to do to repeat. Then it's over to Manchester City. Pep Guardiola is leaving, Enzo Maresca is coming in, and the squad has serious holes to fill. What does Maresca need to get right from day one? And finally, the final day of the Premier League season. The relegation battle, the European spots, and why Spurs having a home game might not be the advantage it looks like.

    Episode 187 - Chelsea Gave Xabi Alonso Something Liverpool Refused To

    2026/05/18 | 55 mins.
    Jose Mourinho is back at Real Madrid. Xabi Alonso is heading to Chelsea. But there is one detail in the Alonso announcement that almost everyone has missed, and it changes everything about how you should view this deal.

    We break down what Mourinho is actually being hired to do at Real Madrid, whether he still has the juice to pull it off, and why Liverpool let one of the most exciting young managers in football walk out the door.

    Plus how the World Cup is going to reshape this summer's transfer window, and the German teenager that three Premier League clubs are quietly watching.

    Episode 186 - The 10 Best Free Agents This Summer — And Which Clubs Should Sign Them

    2026/05/14 | 54 mins.
    The World Cup is about to swallow the transfer window whole, which means free agents may be a smart play this summer. Patrick and Neel run through 10 players hitting the market for nothing, break down what they actually offer, and try to find them a home. Mo Salah's attitude problem, Konaté's Liverpool stalemate, why Bernardo Silva doesn't fit the Premier League anymore, the Vlahović wages nightmare, and whether Casemiro is genuinely MLS-bound. Plus: the centre-back generating midfielder numbers, the midfielder Patrick has never liked, and Lewandowski's increasingly narrow path to a good move. Enjoy!
