As Man City seem all but destined to make it four in a row, the boys wonder if Arteta actually has what it takes to win a league title. We debate the merits of a proposed Premier League salary cap and whether it would actually make things fairer. Plus, following Sweden's decision not to introduce VAR in top-flight football, our hosts ask if it's time we put the continued existence of the ever-controversial tech to a vote.

The boy’s assess the lay of the land at Chelsea FC following their bruising encounter with Arsenal and wonder what needs to happen for the Blues to return to winning ways.

Meanwhile Tom highlights the up and coming talent he foresees making a big impact on the 24/25 season and the boy’s perform a thorough post mortem on Nottingham Forest’s latest VAR debacle.

Has Michail changed his mind about VAR now that it's finally worked in West Ham’s favour? What’s John McGinn's greatest footballing asset? How much trash-talking goes on in the box right before a corner kick? All of these questions and more are answered on this week’s podcast. Plus, the boys look forward to next week's FFP Derby.

We welcome the boys back to the pod after a two-week break and there’s a lot to talk about. There were highs and lows for both Fulham and West Ham during that time and Michail is very eager to discuss his return to goalscoring form. Plus, we go long on that much-hyped City v Arsenal fixture and chat about Roy Keane’s description of Erling Haaland as a ‘League 2’ player.

The boys dissect that epic Liverpool-Manchester City clash and there's a lot of love for Virgil Van Dijk - though not so much for VAR.
As the most exciting title race in years shapes up, they all give their final predictions for the top four, with very different results.
Plus, Rickie shocks the boys with the news that saying ‘megs’ can now get a youth player banned for three weeks. We ask, should we be discouraging young players from showing off?

It’s a packed pod this week with the boys both coming in off the back of Premier League wins for the second week in a row. They discuss the controversy at Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool and speculate about what Mark Clattenburg’s role as a refereeing consultant actually entails. Plus, there’s a lively debate about where Phil Foden fits in the England starting XI, what's acceptable for clubs to post on social media, and Rickie’s forced to explain why he failed to invite his co-hosts to the Brits.
