    "Manchester Derby in the Championship?" - United in Crisis, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia & The Ballon d'Or

    With Ed away, Joe and Producer Tom are running wild on last weekend's Premier League action, especially with Manchester Utd's 0-3 loss to Bournemouth, which saw Old Trafford erupt in applause and singing for Manager Michael Carrick, but boos for the players?! And with the Ballon d'Or on everybody's minds, Joe and Tom take a look at the heartwarming statement made by nominee Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who tore his ACL last week playing for PSG against Barcelona. What can his words teach us about how we react, as Christians, when all seems lost? #UCB #Podcasts #Faith #Football #DiscipleshipWant to get in touch?

    "Let's not hold onto shame" - Title contending Seagulls, Pierre Sage and the feeling of Shame

    This week Ed and Joe are thrilled to be talking about the premier league, especially after last weekends incredible games, the most noticeable of which was Brighton vs Crystal Palace! A game which featured 5 goals, one of which was scored from the half way line! But that wasn't the only thing that caught our eye after this game, as comments from Crystal Palace manager Pierre sage, left us wondering: how should Christians deal with the feeling of shame? But this wasn't the only post match interview that left us asking questions as Lisandro Martinez also made a surprising statement about the Man Utd's director of football!

    The Premier League is back! And its of too an impeccable re-start! But with Man City's fate still undecided Ed and Joe are asking the questions on what the Bible says about justice? Especially keeping in mind the seemingly lenient punishment dealt out to Southampton's Tonda Eckert in response to last seasons 'Spy Gate'. Do you think Eckert got off easy? Spot any funny banners in the Man City - Liverpool match? And would prefer your team to Score lots of goals and Lose, or Win but hardly score at all?

    "Go and have a Nap" - Winger Steamrollering, Shoddy Defending and Endlessly Optimising | The Big Man Up Top

    Joe and Ed are back for another episode of The Big Man Up Top, unpacking Arsenal’s defeat to Brighton, asking whether Manchester City versus Sunderland really deserved to be called an ‘eight-goal thriller’, and reacting to the bizarre story involving Andros Townsend and a steamroller in Thailand. They’re also joined by Rev Sarah Guinness, Brentford’s chaplain and author of The Alternative Book of Discipleship, for a thought-provoking conversation about our endless drive to optimise our lives—and what faith might offer instead. #UCB #Podcasts #Faith #Football #Discipleship Want to get in touch?
