    Why United must tear down Old Trafford and move to Wembley

    Why United must tear down Old Trafford and move to Wembley

    There are three certainties in life: death, taxes and a Monday edition of 'It's All Kicking Off!'
    In this episode, Chris fights a raging hangover to respond to Brendan Rodgers' post-Old Firm remarks, where the Celtic manager bit back at those who suggested his side had been going through the motions earlier this season.
    Ian suggests that Manchester United should move all the way down to Wembley for a couple of seasons, while they tear down Old Trafford and build a brand new stadium on the same plot of land.
    We question whether Tottenham fans would REALLY want to see their team lose against Manchester City if it meant Arsenal couldn't win the league.
    AND Ian challenges Crystal Palace to turn it up a gear next year, and break free from their 12th place shackles.

    How many Manchester United players get in the Arsenal team?

    How many Manchester United players get in the Arsenal team?

    'It's All Kicking Off!' returns for another Weekend Preview!
    In the latest episode, Ian and Chris begin by reflecting on Real Madrid's dramatic Champions League semi-final win over Bayern Munich. No trophy for Harry Kane this season - is he cursed?
    The lads also look ahead to a huge game in the Premier League between Manchester United and Arsenal. The gunners need to win to maintain the pressure on Manchester City at the top of the table. It feels like this could be the final hurdle of their title ambitions, but is it even a hurdle? 
    David Moyes is leaving West Ham at the end of the season. Chris asks whether he has been disrespected by the Hammers. 
    And in the Scottish Premiership, it's set up for one of the biggest Old Firm derbies in years. If Celtic win they'll be having a celebratory Player of the Season award ceremony later on that evening; if they lose, it'll be a much more gloomy affair. Either way, Chris is going!

    Is Darwin Nunez eyeing the Anfield exit?

    Is Darwin Nunez eyeing the Anfield exit?

    Welcome to another instalment of 'It's All Kicking Off!' beaming to you this Bank Holiday Monday.
    In this episode, we start by questioning whether the jury is out on Ange Postecoglou - whose Tottenham side have now lost four consecutive games. Chris defends the former Celtic manager, though, suggesting that Spurs have been a victim of their huge overachievement at the beginning of the season. Plus, we question whether James Maddison will board the plane to Germany having struggled to emulate his form before picking up an injury.
    The lads analyse Darwin Nunez's cryptic social media behaviour after the Uruguayan deleted a series of Liverpool photos after he came off the bench to little affect in the win over Spurs. What do you reckon, does this spell the end for 'Darling' Darwin?
    Next up, a feisty debate between the pair who question whether Kai Havertz should have been awarded a penalty after tumbling in the box v Bournemouth.
    AND we respond to Emma Hayes' bash of the media after Chelsea's 8-0 win over Bristol City.

    Who are the top 5 Premier League players this season?

    Who are the top 5 Premier League players this season?

    'It's All Kicking Off!' returns for its Weekend Preview edition!
    In the latest episode, Ian and Chris begin by dissecting Jude Bellingham's Allianz antics, where he seemingly attempted to put off his England captain, Harry Kane, before the Bayern man took a vital Champions League penalty. What do you reckon? Do you admire this attempt to distract someone to gain advantage for their team... or do you prefer sportsmanship in the biggest moments?
    Ian questions whether Nottingham Forest will relish the opportunity to play already-relegated Sheffield United, with Forest's top-flight status hanging in the balance, as Chris says he sees this as the perfect game for the side.
    The lads give their top 5 Premier League players of the season so far... with some interesting calls offered up by them both.
    AND we offer praise for Kai Havertz - the Arsenal man was doubted by many but has emphatically turned at a corner at the Emirates, proving his worth time after time in the second half of the season.

    Does Mo Salah regret NOT leaving Liverpool?

    Does Mo Salah regret NOT leaving Liverpool?

    'It's All Kicking Off!' (aka your favourite football podcast) returns for its Monday edition.
    First up, Ian and Chris question whether Pep Guardiola was talking nonsense when claiming that the dryness of the pitch at the City Ground impacted Chris Wood's ability to put the ball in the back of the net, as his Manchester City side survived a few scares vs Nottingham Forest.
    We then talk all things North London Derby: how Arsenal have learnt from their errors last season, whether Spurs are up for the fight and why Ben White played with Guglielmo Vicario's gloves right before the Gunners took a decisive corner.
    The lads question whether Mo Salah risks tarnishing his Liverpool legacy after having a touchline spat with manager Jurgen Klopp, and ask themselves whether the Egyptian is frustrated after another nearly season on Merseyside.
    AND we question whether Newcastle should embrace the chance to sell their stars and follow the lead set by Aston Villa, a side regenerated by the cash raised by Jack Grealish's exit.
