    How to resurrect Man Utd, why so Spursy, ‘lucky’ Wenger and Pogba returns | Three Up Front

    Should Manchester United copy Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City to get back to the top? Why are Tottenham so flimsy? Would you take Paul Pogba at your club now and was Arsene Wenger a lucky manager? Those are the topics on this week’s Three Up Front with Simon Jordan, Graeme Souness and Troy Deeney. With Man Utd’s executives meeting this week and possibly deciding on Erik Ten Hag’s future, Simon gives his insight on what might be going through their minds while Graeme wonders if there’s enough football knowledge at the club. Tottenham’s latest capitulation leads them to ask why that has been the case for so long and Troy reveals whether players think they are a soft touch. Also, would James Maddison get into any of the top three and does Ange Postecoglu need to liven up a bit in his post match interviews? Graeme gets an opportunity to discuss one of his favourite subjects - Paul Pogba - as they debate whether they would sign him after his doping ban was reduced. Also in Graeme’s line of fire is, of all people, Arsene Wenger: was he a great manager or just very lucky? And with top players complaining about the increasing number of matches they’re being asked to play, Troy explains why he would vote not to strike.

    Did Arsenal admit Man City are the better side and can Ten Hag handle big players? | Three Up Front

    It's only two up front on the show this week as Simon Jordan and Graeme Souness tackle some of the big questions around the Premier League: Did Arsenal show an inferiority complex against Manchester City? Was Erik Ten Hag wrong to bring up Marcus Rashford's lifestyle and is Julen Lopetegui's position under threat at West Ham? Graeme and Simon debate Arsenal's approach after they went down to 10 men at Manchester City. Did Arteta's approach show their fear of City or was it the best way to go? Graeme argues they were too negative and explains why he thinks City won't care that they haven't beaten Arsenal in their last 3 league meetings. They also discuss Trossard's red card and whether players should take some of the blame for bending the rules. Please note that his episode was recorded before the news about Rodri's injury became public. With just one win in his first 5 games, how much pressure is on West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui? Simon gives his verdict on how long he might have  and explains the thought process of a chairman when the team is getting bad results. Finally, Simon and Graeme look ahead to Manchester United v Tottenham this weekend and discuss whether managers should bring up a player's lifestyle in the press after Erik Ten Hag's recent comments about Marcus Rashford. This leads to a debate over whether Ten Hag can handle big stars, but is it also maybe the last chance saloon for Rashford at United? Subscribe for future episodes. 18 + please gamble responsibly.

  4. David Haye | If you give it the big’un and you flop, you’re gonna get stick 💥

    David Haye | If you give it the big’un and you flop, you’re gonna get stick 💥

    In this episode, we are joined by two-weight world champion David Haye. He’s one of only three men - with Evander Holyfield and Oleksandr Usyk - to have won world titles at both cruiserweight and heavyweight. After becoming the first Brit to reach a world amateur final, David turned pro and quickly became known for punching power, as illustrated when he stopped both Jean-Marc Mormeck and Enzo Maccarinelli to become the unified cruiserweight world champion. He then moved up to heavyweight where, despite conceding 7 stone in weight, he beat the giant 7ft-plus Russian Nikolay Valuev to become the WBA champion.  Eventually, he faced Wladimir Klitschko in a unification bout but he was soundly beaten and his post-fight excuse of a broken little toe severely damaged his standing among fight fans. Thereafter, came controversy and frustration: a much-publicised brawl with Derek Chisora in Germany led to a contest between the pair where David was victorious. But, a highly anticipated fight with Tyson Fury fell through as David suffered injuries that would keep him out of the ring for a long time. He eventually returned and fought Tony Bellew twice before retiring following his defeat in their rematch. Despite his success, David has been a sometimes divisive figure with the boxing public. Here, he tackles everything: becoming a two-weight world champion, his defeats to Klitschko and Bellew, why he made some of his controversial statements, and he gives his thoughts on Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. He also explains why Saudi Arabia’s takeover is good for boxing and tantalisingly, he reveals whether his career may not yet be over.

    NLD is a MUST-WIN for both teams and have English clubs underachieved in the UCL? | Three Up Front

    The Champions League is back and looking very different this season. But will it be more entertaining? Simon, Graeme and Troy discuss the new format and question whether English teams have been really punching their weight until now. Graeme explains why Arsenal must win the North London derby. Simon asks whether fans are too loyal to homegrown talent that simply isn't good enough for the first team and Troy suggests that Arsenal's left wing slot is up for grabs, and that Raheem Sterling is the man to take it.

    Ten Hag’s January deadline, Spain next for TAA? & Rangers need cash

    What are Man Utd now? Is Trent Alexander-Arnold off to Real Madrid? And how can Rangers catch up with Celtic? Simon Jordan, Graeme Souness and Troy Deeney clash on these and more questions in the latest Three Up Front. Manchester United's capitulation to Liverpool sees them discuss why they still have no system of play after two years under Erik Ten Hag and how long he may have left at the club. They also debate whether Marcus Rashford still deserves his place in the United XI, how Virgil van Dijk displayed true leadership and if Arne Slot is slowly phasing out Trent Alexander-Arnold at Anfield... Elsewhere, Troy gives his viewpoint on his old gaffer Sean Dyche's situation at Everton, how he thinks he's dealing with it and why he believes the players need a meeting behind closed doors as they once again prop up the rest of the Premier League. Graeme gives his verdict on his former club's Rangers' defeat to Celtic and they deliberate on whether Lee Carsley can bring something new to the England team and if the job may be his to lose already.

    Sterling’s NONSENSE statement, Toney vs Solanke & a new era in Liverpool | Three Up Front

    Was Raheem Sterling out of order? Have Tottenham signed the wrong striker? And how impressive were Arne Slot's Liverpool? Simon, Graeme and Troy give their opinions on the big talking points from the opening weekend of the Premier League. They discuss the soap opera around Chelsea and whose at fault, what it means for Sterling's career and the new manager Enzo Maresca, as well as debating Chelsea's extremely unconventional business model... From one soap opera to another: Ivan Toney’s future. He was left out of Brentford’s win over Palace amid speculation of a move to Saudi Arabia. The trio debate his next move and whether Tottenham should’ve signed him over Dominic Solanke. As Liverpool enter a new era under Arne Slot, Graeme shares his perspective on his former club, while Simon raises some concerns about Slot and Liverpool’s recent transfer activity.
