Adam turns up with a “peace offering” for the lads… a bag of fruit each. It lasts about 30 seconds before Dave threatens to start throwing produce.

From there, it’s classic chaos: Dave’s not-quite-an-apology voice note to Paul, Chelsea’s “humble pie” problem, and the internet committing crimes by putting Declan Rice in a greatest free-kick-takers lineup ahead of actual legends.

Then it gets properly spicy: are Arsenal top because they’re elite, or just the best of a bad bunch? Does it matter how you win, or is winning all that counts? The boys go deep on set pieces, “spectacle vs results”, and whether football’s quality is dropping.

We pivot to Manchester United’s surprise resurgence, Manchester City dropping points, and Rodri’s post-match meltdown, followed by a rapid-fire Q&A on bias, burnout, modern managers, squad management, and whether social media has completely cooked football discourse.

Expect debates, hot takes, and absolutely zero peace offerings.

It’s been a great weekend to be a Barclays fan… unless you support Liverpool. Dave returns from the long weekend and immediately spirals as the lads unpack Arsenal vs Manchester United, including those ridiculous United goals, Bruno Fernandes’ influence, and the growing question hanging over Arsenal’s title push: are they actually ruthless enough, or are they winning by default?

From there, it turns into a full-blown manager debate. Is Arteta’s philosophy holding Arsenal back? Is Michael Carrick’s “new manager bounce” real? And why does Paul think Liam “man-age” Rosenior is being unfairly mocked as a LinkedIn PE teacher?

Plus: Crystal Palace’s sudden implosion, feeder club reality checks, and a brutally honest Liverpool post-mortem as Dave declares the identity is gone and Slot is starting to lose the room.

No trophies were won in this episode, but plenty of managers got sacked in theory.

Holidays are over, tempers are not.

Dave and Paul are back in the studio and straight into it. From travel stories to a full-blown debate on whether the Premier League is becoming harder to watch, this episode covers everything and then some.

They argue over whether modern football has lost its spark, if nil-all draws are tactical masterpieces or just rubbish, and whether the league is more competitive or simply lower in quality. There’s also a deep dive into Manchester United’s shock performance against City, the Michael Carrick debate, Pep Guardiola’s future, Arsenal’s title charge, Spurs’ never-ending identity crisis, and whether Liverpool should already be preparing for life after their manager.

Throw in AFCON controversy, dodgy Panenkas, transfer spending madness, and one of the longest arguments the podcast has ever had, and this is classic Dave and Paul chaos.

Loud opinions, no notes, and absolutely no agreement.
