    Man City MUST beat United to these star midfielders + Spurs hire De Zerbi

    Ted and Patrick break down the transfer decisions that will define the Premier League summer. They start with Tottenham and ask whether hiring Roberto De Zerbi with a squad full of players who can't pass is a recipe for relegation. Then it's the big one: with Pep Guardiola likely heading for the exit, Man City and Man United are both targeting the same midfielders, and Ted and Patrick argue City should move first and move hard for Adam Wharton and Elliot Anderson. They also dig into Bruno Fernandes' contract situation at United, Arsenal's left-wing addiction and striker question, a brief look at what Liverpool face post-Salah, and whether Eddie Howe has one last chance to get Newcastle right. Plus: World Cup tools are coming, the in-person conference is set for May 22nd, and Ted is hiring an assistant director of football on the women's side.

    Our Least Favorite Footballers of All Time + Salah's Liverpool Exit

    Patrick and Hayden are back for another international break, and rather than debating England squad picks, they're doing something more fun — running through the players they can't stand. From overpriced City signings to entitled Real Madrid lifers to players who've wasted every opportunity handed to them, nothing is off limits. They also find time to celebrate a few underrated favorites, bid farewell to Mo Salah, and make the case for some players you might not be watching closely enough.

    Why Haaland SHOULD NOT Win Player of the Season + Did Arsenal Just Win the Title?

    Arsenal put one hand on the title after a commanding 2-0 win over Everton, and with City dropping points against West Ham, the gap just got very, very big. We dig into what makes this Arsenal side so hard to beat, whether Arteta will start experimenting tactically, and why the title race might actually be over. Then: the Player of the Year debate nobody is enjoying. Is it Haaland by default, or is there actually a case for Declan Rice? We also get into Aston Villa quietly throwing away their top-four spot, Manchester United's unexpected stability under Carrick, Liverpool's tactical identity crisis, Chelsea's chaotic pressing experiment, and what the Premier League's exhaustion problem looks like in Europe.
