Episode 11 dives straight into the madness surrounding Mohamed Salah, his explosive interview, his feud with Arne Slot, and why Liverpool suddenly look like a club at war with itself. Dave breaks down the fallout from Salah’s outburst, what it means for his legacy, and whether this situation is even recoverable.

Paul swings hard at Jamie Carragher after an eight minute monologue on Monday Night Football, questioning why Liverpool’s club legend added fuel to the fire. The boys also unpack Chelsea’s title race illusion, Maresca’s endless rotation, Arsenal slipping, Aston Villa rising, and whether the Premier League’s quality is improving or falling off a cliff.

There is heated debate, elite pettiness, shocking levels of delusion, and at least one intervention required for Paul’s obsession with pundits.

If you love football chaos, this episode has it all.

In Episode 10, Dave, Paul and Adam celebrate making it to double digits by diving headfirst into one of their wildest debates yet. From Gerrard’s infamous slip to the pressure of defining moments in football history, the boys unpack the moments players never live down.

Chelsea’s gritty 1-1 draw with Arsenal lights up the conversation as Paul launches into an all-timer rant about consistency, red cards, Crystal Palace, and the unwritten rules of being a “real” football fan in Australia.

Dave dissects Liverpool’s much-needed win over West Ham, questions whether Salah needs a reset, and looks ahead nervously to a tricky clash with Sunderland. Spurs get scorched, Newcastle get praised, managers get judged, and Paul’s voice notes in Barangaroo are exposed to the world.

The episode wraps with fan questions covering Rice vs Caicedo, Brazilian Premier League greats and fantasy football advice the boys openly admit no one should trust.

Another chaotic, passionate, laugh-filled episode that proves somehow, some way, the lads have survived 10 episodes without killing each other.

Liverpool are in freefall and Dave is not coping. Everton, Forest and every club in the league are taking turns pulling his team’s pants down and Paul is loving every second of it. The boys dig into Liverpool’s slump, Arne Slot’s future, Salah’s silence, and why being a football fan is basically a life of misery sprinkled with very short bursts of joy.

Chelsea’s sudden rise, Arsenal’s dominance, Tottenham’s chaos under Thomas Frank, Newcastle’s unpredictability, City’s wobble without Haaland scoring, and the wild Premier League table all get a run. Paul explains why Spurs ruined everything by sacking Ange, Dave debates how long you are allowed to enjoy a trophy, and Adam tries to keep the whole circus under control.

Across the episode the lads swing between serious analysis and pure nonsense, questioning loyalty, patience, expectations and whether following football actually makes anyone happy at all.

Paul opens the show by almost quitting before admitting this podcast is the best thing in his life, and from there it’s pure chaos. Dave, Paul and Adam dive straight into Liverpool’s battering at the hands of Manchester City, with Dave clinging to xG and disallowed goals while Paul dishes out a brutal “spanked, decked, men versus boys” verdict.

They debate whether Slot’s Reds are broken, discuss Arsenal’s unexpected stumble against Sunderland and the mystery of the moved advertising boards, and question if Manchester United have truly turned a corner after another mixed performance. Spurs’ inconsistency and Richarlison’s shirtless celebrations also get a roasting.

It all wraps up with Paul confidently declaring Chelsea’s “quad is on”, and Dave reluctantly agreeing just to make sure the jinx sticks.

This week, the lads dive deep into the weird and wonderful world of football stats before tearing through another wild Premier League weekend.

Dave drops a “bullshit but true” stat about Joel Matip having more Player of the Month awards than Kevin De Bruyne, which sends everyone spiralling into debates about XG, PPDA, and why set pieces now account for over a third of all Premier League goals. Paul tries (and fails) to explain what “passes allowed per defensive action” actually means, while Adam plays referee as the data talk turns chaotic.

On the pitch, Chelsea bounce back with a big win over Spurs, Liverpool steady the ship against Villa, and Arsenal keep cruising — clinical, unflashy, and relentless. The boys argue over Caicedo versus Kante versus Makélélé, Spurs fans booing their own team, and whether Arsenal’s robotic form is unstoppable or just boring brilliance.

Later, they talk Haaland dependency at Manchester City, Arsenal’s title credentials, the myth of the next Leicester City fairytale, and the most underappreciated midfielders in the league. Listener questions from Australia cap off a fiery episode that mixes football nerdery, therapy for Spurs fans, and a few unfiltered rants about modern football supporters.

Arne Slot: genius or just lucky? Dave and Paul go head to head on whether last season’s Premier League winning Liverpool manager is being exposed. Is this a blip, a rebuild, or the start of a meltdown?

They also dig into Arsenal’s set piece obsession, Manchester City’s reliance on Haaland, and whether Sunderland’s fast start can actually last. Chelsea frustrations return after a 2–1 loss to Sunderland, Spurs and Newcastle stay unpredictable, and the promoted sides keep swinging.

Expect stats, sarcasm, and plenty of shouting. Listener questions cover Sunderland’s top four chances, Cunha versus Wirtz, and Arsenal’s real title probability.

Liverpool in crisis? Not according to Dave. Four straight losses, questions over Arne Slot, and a rebuild that’s yet to click, but a 5–1 European win might just hint at a reset.

Paul isn’t buying it. He’s calling pressure, pointing at £500 million worth of new talent, and wondering whether Liverpool’s top stars have already peaked.

Meanwhile, Arsenal keep grinding out results with defensive steel and ruthless set pieces. Chelsea continue their climb despite injuries and red cards, Spurs stumble, and Newcastle puzzle everyone again.

The lads also dive into listener questions on Ruben Amorim’s future at Manchester United, whether Slot can make Liverpool feared again, and if Arsenal are the real deal.

It’s full of opinions, friendly jabs, and that one big debate:

Would you rather win 8 titles playing boring football — or 2 titles playing beautiful football?
