Dave and Paul Talk Football — Ep.3: “Voice-Note Derby”

Public holiday = no studio… so the lads trade rapid-fire voice messages in a chaotic, unfiltered back-and-forth. Paul revels in Chelsea 2–1 Liverpool (“best we’ve been all year”), hailing Caicedo and Maresca while poking holes in Salah, Van Dijk and Slot’s subs. Dave fires back: “mini-crisis” or just a blip when you’re still a point off top? The banter goes full JP-Morgan-FC vs KPMG-FC.

Quick hits:

• Arsenal cruise past West Ham - title credentials hardening.
• Man City “under the radar” at Brentford; Rodri’s absence looms.
• Villa keep rolling; Everton clip Palace; Newcastle edge Forest.
• United beat Sunderland (shrug).
• Big Ange at Forest: mistake or mugs game?
• International break stakes and early-season reality checks.

A rough-around-the-edges voice-note special. Same heat, lo-fi format.

A chaotic Premier League weekend sets the tone: Brentford thump United, Brighton outplay Chelsea, Palace bloody Liverpool’s nose, and the newly-promoted trio rack up a record points haul. Dave and Paul spar over whether sacking Amorim fixes anything at Old Trafford, if Chelsea’s issues are tactics or team-building, and why Arsenal’s last-gasp win at Newcastle might (or might not) scream “title credentials.” There’s banter about a 30-player office FIFA comp, flirting with video for the show, and the looming drama of Mourinho’s Benfica returning to Stamford Bridge - plus a nervy Liverpool trip to Galatasaray. One of them will be insufferably happy next week. Probably.

What’s inside

• United’s spiral: system stubbornness vs. inevitable sacking
• Chelsea 1–3 Brighton: creativity void, red cards, and Marseca pressure
• Palace 2–1 Liverpool: tactical tweaks, Wirtz form watch, depth worries
• Arsenal late show at St James’ Park: set-piece merchants or title material?
• Promoted sides flying: Sunderland, Leeds & Burnley’s fast start
• Europe preview: Mourinho at the Bridge, Anfield to Istanbul nerves

After a decade on the sidelines, Dave and Paul dust off the mics for a no-filter return. Expect vintage banter, shameless self-deprecation, and plenty of hot takes as they rip through a wild Premier League weekend: Brighton–Spurs chaos, West Ham wobbling, Palace pestering giants, Leeds over Wolves, Villa misfiring, the Merseyside Derby, Arsenal–City’s chess match, and Chelsea’s stumble against United. The lads clash on Liverpool’s “era” (FSG, Michael Edwards, data vs dollars), whether Chelsea have become “JP Morgan FC,” and if Arteta’s pragmatism is holding Arsenal back while Slot’s Liverpool gamble to win late. They finish on the eternal United question: stick or twist with Amorim, and does anything change without full top-to-bottom ownership overhaul? Producer Adam’s back, a couple of unnamed ex-mates are (allegedly) “inside,” and the boys vow consistency… this time for real.

Highlights

• Liverpool’s rebuild vs. megaspend models
• Chelsea’s long deals, short patience
• Arteta’s handbrake vs. risk-taking football
• United’s identity crisis and ownership saga
