17. Fixing...... What Makes a Big Club
Man City have been dominant for a decade, but does that make them a big club? Arsenal are one of the most globally popular clubs in the world but haven't won the champions league, so does that make them a small club? In this episode, we break this down so you can once and for all understand what is meant by a big club!
Also, we show the difference between an achievement and an accolade, and have the debate on what's better, an invincible season or a treble winning season. This could be divisive, but we're prepared to discuss this... alright?! -
16. Fixing... Players' Positions
If wingers are midfielders and Salah is a winger, is Salah a midfielder? If full backs are defenders and Trent is a full back, is Trent a defender? Can we really compare Beckham's role with Salah, or Neville's role with Trent? These are the difficult questions we are tackling in this episode, as we break down the problem of categorising modern players into the classic roles of defenders, midfielders and strikers. It might sound impossible, but it's fixable... alright?!

15. Fixing... FFP and Fines
Do you understand the intricacies of FFP? Do you agree with it? Do you know what PSR stands for? These are the questions we dive into in this episode, discussing issues surrounding the treatment of teams at the bottom compared to the top, as well as the types of punishments that have been handed out already. Don't be surprised if our ideas are stolen by others as per usual, but it won't stop us from fixing this... alright?!

13. Fixing... Rivalry vs Hatred
While Ces doesn't believe that football is a unique sport, one thing he does think football is unique in is the hatred that the fans have for their rivals. In this episode, Ces and James take a look at why there is so much hatred in football, and see if they can bring the love back in the beautiful game. It may seen impossible, but it's fixable... alright?!
