Thomas Tuchel and Bayern Munich will part ways at the end of this season. There might be many reasons why Bayern Munich has decided to cut ties with the former Chelsea manager, but we suspect that chief among those reasons is his decision to sign Eric Dier. In fact, we reckon that alone is a good enough reason to give him the sack. We also discuss how Tuchel's nemesis, Xabi Alonso, could be his potential successor, as well as Harry Kane's trophyless run, Xavi's impending departure from hapless Barcelona, and other football news.

The Manchester United managerial job seems to have overwhelmed many managers, will Erik Ten Hag finally get it right or will the job elude him like it did his predecessors? In other news, Xavi and Jurgen Klopp have both announced that they will be leaving their respective clubs at the end of the season. We speculate on who their best replacements will be and make predictions of what the Premier League will look like at the end of the season.

With 12 points from their last five matches, plus the return of key players from injuries, Manchester United could gain confidence and build momentum for a surge up the Premier League table. Could they possibly creep into a Champions League spot or are they too inconsistent to pull it off?

Join us as we huddle in our conspiracy corner to discuss controversies surrounding the Premier League's contentious refereeing decisions after Arsenal's loss to Newcastle. We also discuss the crabs in a barrel at mid-table, Manchester United and Chelsea, as they just about manage to eke out wins from their fixtures.

In this episode, we reflect on the latest instalment of the London Derby - Chelsea vs Arsenal. We also tap into other results from the Premier League, including Tottenham’s impressive run and Manchester United's hard-fought win at Sheffield United. Also, would English players be raved about a lot more if they had exotic names?

This week, we're loving De Zerbi-ball, but can Brighton sustain their Moneyball approach in the long term? Arsenal has deservedly beaten City, and they could potentially win the league, but will they see it through? Lastly, pardon our schadenfreude as we laugh at the comedy of misfortunes in Paul Pogba's Shakespearean tragedy. Did someone say hyenas?
