    Premier League match day 29 review!

    Send us your questions and thoughts by text!! Leave your name in the text! Hello and welcome to the Late Kick Off Football Podcast episode 196!  Mike and Jamie mull over the sides heading for the trap door (04:00) from Tottenham vs Crystal Palace to Fulham vs West Ham as Spurs get dragged to the cliff edge and the Black Cats appear to keep all their lives in the Premier League as they beat a now-threatened Leeds United. Can Wolverhampton Wanderers do the impossible? Liverpool continually falls foul of the fact that a game lasts more than 90 minutes. In all the excitement we forget to leave the boot in on one of the “class of ‘92” as Michael Carrick suffers defeat for the first time as Manchester United manager. But we do head to the south coast for our first marquee matchup in Manchester (23:20), City hosted Nottingham Forest in a game with ramifications at either end of the table. Then there is the league leaders Arsenal making the trip to Brighton and a discussion about how poor a spectacle the Premier League is these days (27:20). In Birmingham (36:40), Aston Villa welcomed the self-proclaimed (and repeatedly self-reminding) world champions Chelsea in a clash with serious Champions League ramifications. We ask whether the Villains have been ‘found out’ and whether Chelsea’s project under Rosenior is a win for the LinkedIn community. And finally, we crown our “Bin Juice Game of the Week" (45:45) as Bournemouth and Brentford quietly cancel each other out. All reviews, likes, shares and of course listens are hugely appreciated!

    Send us your questions and thoughts by text!! Leave your name in the text! Hello and welcome to the Late Kick Off Football Podcast episode 195! The title race tightens, the set-piece charts get a workout, and somewhere in a technical area Igor Tudor is absolutely losing it. We start with our Moments of the Week (04:00): Brighton are officially back, apparently – two wins on the spin for the first time since November after seeing off Nottingham Forest. At Craven Cottage, Alex Iwobi side-foots Fulham past Spurs and sends Tudor into what can only be described as an early-era existential crisis. And at Anfield, Liverpool stick five past West Ham in a seven-goal thriller that was, paradoxically, not much fun at all – Arne Slot’s side now have nine goals from dead balls in 2026. Set-piece FC? You said it, Arne, not us. Then to the heavyweight stuff. Arsenal edge Chelsea 2-1 in a feisty London derby (08:00): Saliba does the corner thing, Timber does the corner thing again, Pedro Neto sees red, and David Raya preserves a five-point cushion at the summit. Over at Old Trafford, Manchester United come from behind to beat Crystal Palace (22:30) – Lacroix scores, Lacroix walks, Bruno conducts, and Benjamin Sesko applies the header as the Red Devils continue their upward hum. And Manchester City grind out a very un-City 1-0 at Elland Road (28:30), Semenyo striking before the break to keep the pressure squarely on Mikel Arteta’s leaders. Elsewhere, in ‘one thing we learned (34:00)’ Burnley almost join the very exclusive “3-0 down and win 4-3” club… but don’t. Newcastle’s schedule catches up with them as Everton win at St James's, prompting mutterings of shoogly pegs. Wolves climb above Derby’s record-low watermark with victory over Villa, and yes, we do check the xG. And finally, the matchday’s unmistakable bin juice: Bournemouth 1-1 Sunderland at 12:30 on a Saturday (42:00). You had to be there. We didn’t.

    Premier League match day 27 review!

    Send us your questions and thoughts by text!! Leave your name in the text! Hello and welcome to the Late Kick Off Football Podcast episode 194! We start with the ongoing nonsense of our respective sides in Scotland and how they may outdo one another to lose the Scottish Cup tie next month. South of the border we have out Moments of the week as Fulham confine Sunderland to their third successive defeat (09:00), Liverpool just do enough and no more to get past Nottingham Forest (06:20) as do Crystal Palace with Wolves (07:25). Onto the marquee matchups where thankfully the Monday Night Football game picked up in the second half to merit its conclusion (10:00), the North London Derby (16:20) proves joyless for the white side of the capital and Manchester City put the pressure on Arsenal in their title challenge (26:50). In One Thing We Learned, we celebrate a rare Brighton win (34:15), Chelsea’s ongoing issues with ill discipline (36:20) and Stach's set piece almost being enough to see Leeds past Villa (40:15). Finally, Bin Juice game of the week; Bournemouth become a regular fixture in this section as they manage to keep a threatening West Ham to nil (41:50).

    Premier League match day 26 review!

    Send us your questions and thoughts by text!! Leave your name in the text! Hello and welcome to the Late Kick Off Football Podcast episode 193! In this week’s Premier League review, we break down a dramatic round of midweek fixtures featuring key results in the Champions League race, mounting pressure in North London, and frustration at both ends of the table. We begin with a topsy-turvey game at Selhurst Park as Palace’s bonkers season appears to have no end in sight (02:00), before looking at Man City’s important win against Fulham (03:00), who continue to take a doing from the Citizens. It is then onto Sunderland versus Liverpool (05:00), where Virgil van Dijk’s header from Mohamed Salah’s corner secured a crucial three points. The result strengthened Liverpool’s push for a top-four finish, in a match that made Premier League history as just the fourth to feature no English players in either starting XI. At Villa Park (08:00), Aston Villa left it late to beat Brighton thanks to Tyrone Mings’ decisive header, extending Brighton’s winless league run to 13 matches and boosting Villa’s European hopes. Newcastle United claimed a close win away at Tottenham Hotspur (13:30), deepening Spurs’ struggles. The defeat leaves Tottenham winless in eight league games and signals a turbulent period following Thomas Frank’s departure. We also cover the relegation battle (29:00), where Nottingham Forest registered 35 shots in a goalless draw with Wolves that cost Sean Dyche his job, and Manchester United produced their lowest expected goals total of the season in a draw at West Ham (35:00). To round off the show, we discuss what Chelsea’s stalemate with Leeds says about their defensive issues, despite generating 3.7 xG, and Bournemouth’s growing momentum after coming from behind to beat Everton. Before the bin juice finale with the late game on Thursday against Brentford and Arsenal. All reviews, likes, shares and of course listens are hugely appreciated!

    Premier League match day 24 review!

    Send us your questions and thoughts by text!! Leave your name in the text! Hello and welcome to the Late Kick Off Football Podcast episode 191!  We begin in Scotland with Airdrieonians’ 2–0 win at Dunfermline Athletic and Kilmarnock’s dominant victory over Aberdeen, before moving into Moment of the Week (07:55). From Brentford’s rare away win at Aston Villa as well as Sunderland’s goalless draw with Burnley on Monday Night Football. Our first Premier League marquee matchup comes from Old Trafford as Manchester United beat Fulham 3-2. We assess Michael Carrick’s early impact in charge, United’s strange relationship with possession and their seven-game unbeaten run. As well as Kevin’s! superb strike (10:35). Next, Liverpool get back to their best with a 4-1 win over Newcastle United at Anfield, as Mohamed Salah makes more Premier League history (21:00). We then head to Stamford Bridge for a dramatic London derby where Chelsea defeat West Ham United 3-2, the first time in club history Chelsea have won a Premier League match after trailing by two goals at half-time (30:50). There is the Managerial merry-go-round (38:40) as we look at Palace’s great demise and Frank holding on for dear life at Spurs. In One Thing We Learned (48:00), we look at Arsenal’s emphatic 4–0 win over Leeds United and Bournemouth’s strong form since the departure of Antoine Semenyo. Finally, we crown the Bin Juice Game of the Week (51:15): Brighton & Hove Albion 1–1 Everton – and a wonderful David Moyes moment we can get behind.

    Premier League match day 23 review!

    Send us your questions and thoughts by text!! Leave your name in the text! A packed weekend of football gives Dylan, Jamie and Mike plenty to get stuck into, starting north of the border as Dunfermline shock St Johnstone and Aberdeen put six past Livingston. It’s then onto the Moment of the Week (02:50), with Nottingham Forest becoming only the second side to win at Brentford and Aston Villa ending a 20+ year wait for a victory at St James’ Park. The main event comes from the Emirates, where Manchester United stun league leaders Arsenal with a dramatic late comeback in one of the games of the season (06:30). Chelsea’s away victory at Selhurst Park is next, as Palace’s struggles deepen and the Blues push back into the top four (27:00), before attention turns to the South Coast where Bournemouth deliver a stoppage-time gut punch to Liverpool (40:20). Before wrapping up with One Thing We Learned (49:40) at the London Stadium, Craven Cottage and the Etihad. And to close the show, we reluctantly wade through the Bin Juice Game of the Week as Everton host Leeds on Monday night (55:20).

    Send us your questions and thoughts by text!! Leave your name in the text! Hello and welcome to the Late Kick Off Football Podcast episode 189!  From shock results in Scotland to statement wins in the Premier League, it’s another packed episode as we break down a weekend full of talking points. We start with Dunfermline edging Hibs and Aberdeen continuing their grind against Raith before diving into our Moment of the Week, featuring stoppage-time drama at Elland Road and Arsenal inching closer to the title with back-to-back goalless draws. Our first marquee matchup takes us to Villa Park, where Everton end Aston Villa’s formidable home run with a deserved 1-0 win, before we head to Old Trafford for a fascinating Manchester derby. United’s 2-0 victory over City sparks debate around tactics, refereeing controversy, and the remarkable start to life under Michael Carrick. There’s also time for the pre-emptive Managerial Merry-Go-Round, with Crystal Palace’s summer missteps laid bare and more pressure mounting at Spurs after another home defeat. We round things off with One Thing We Learned from Stamford Bridge and Anfield, digging into Chelsea’s new era and Liverpool’s oddly unconvincing unbeaten run, before crowning Wolves vs Newcastle as the Bin Juice Game of the Week.
