Newcastle Keep the Party Going, Liverpool (almost) Win it Mathematically, Villa the New Leeds, A Familiar Low for Man United

Summer pod has come early as the sun is shining and the Premier League is basically over once again.Any hopes of Saka's comeback goal against Fulham sparking some kind of title race chances for Arsenal were dashed just 24 hours later as Liverpool beat Everton in another Merseyside derby to extend their lead at the top.The heads of Carabao marketing must have looked on in glee as 100's of thousands lined the streets in Newcastle's first trophy parade in 70 odd years, but where oh where could the Geordies go to keep the party rolling?Things are going well for Aston Villa as their new superstars score for fun while they are going deep in the Champions League. But..is it too good to be true?Nottingham Forest beat Man United 1-0 thanks to a great goal from another player in a long line of players currently thriving away from their former club - Anthony Elanga. And in their time of need who did Man United turn to? Why Harry Maguire again of course.Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

What year is it we ask as Ireland are winning games, a boyhood Liverpool legend looks to leave his legacy behind and the German's are England's enemy once again.Heimir Halgrimmson's boys in green managed a second victory on the bounce as we beat Bulgaria 4-2 on aggregate in our Nations League playoff, and honestly, things are looking pretty good for once.As England kicked off their World Cup qualifiers with two wins and zero goals conceded, one famous manager from the past isn't buying it and isn't trusting this Tuchel fella one bit.Rumours are flying that Trent Alexander Arnold's move to Real Madrid is looking like more of a certainty by the day which has prompted some rather surprising criticsm, but why does Trent want to leave in the first place?In a week of cancelling, attempts to break the camels back with more straw, salutes and hot takes, one company has decided to just go for the forbidden collab.Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

The 70 year "curse" has been lifted as Newcastle finally win a domestic trophy. And all it took was the wealthiest owners in sports history.Eddie Howe's team looked much more up for it as they cruised to victory in the Carabao Cup final over an increasingly tired looking Liverpool team who just a few short weeks ago were on course for the illusive quad.A big week for Big Dan Burn as he is the unlikely hero in the final and gets an England call up.Elsewhere in the news, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Man United's PR masterclass continued, this time with the announcement of a new state of the art devil inspired stadium plans to replace Old Trafford. The plans were unveiled by Gary Neville, just days after we were told in an interview with Gary Neville that the club is perpetually minutes away from going bust.Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

Never has a game so big meant so little as Arsenal and Man United played out a 1-1 draw, that while entertaining, was another example of the season being totally finished.Man United didn't look half bad on the pitch but its still clear to see the pressure is just too much for this current crop.Off the pitch Sir Jim Ratcliffe reminded us all just how bad it is financially as he broke down who and when they owed in detail.Arteta stormed off after some pointed questions about the title race, but in the following days he calmly let us know this is all actually part of the plan.No Nonsense Hall of Famer and man of many failed Premier League manager stints Frank Lampard is flying it in the Championship, and it's starting to look like history may repeat itself.Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

While the excitement of this years Premier League may be dwindling the magic of the cup is still in full effect. But, this weekend it felt the magic was darker than ever.A horrendous high boot on Crystal Palace's Mateta was the most obvious red card in the history of football to everyone watching, except of course to the man in charge of handing out the cards Michael Oliver.A crash out of epic proportions saw Brazil star Matheus Cunha sent off in the 120th minute, leading to Wolves being knocked out of the cup.Newcastle also crashed out, with injuries to Isak and Lewis Hall and Anthony Gordon picking up a mush based red card. The desperation continues with the Carabao Cup final rapidly approaching.Who cares if Man United are out of the F.A Cup, its the league they want to win according to manager Ruben Amorim who, once again just to confirm, is not going to change.We have some ideas to freshen up the cup branding and make these 5th round fixtures more exciting.Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

And just like that it's pretty much all over!Liverpool extended their lead to 11 points against former rivals Man City as Salah continues to be head and shoulders above everyone else in the league.Arsenal dropped more points, this time to West Ham. And it's all starting to feel a bit end of days-y for Mikel Arteta as they seem set for another year in second place.Man United manage to rescue a late draw against relegation rivals Everton as the man who started it all David Moyes returned to almost make them pay a decade later.Off the pitch, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has continued his Scrooge-like ways. Next up on the chopping block, lunch.And of course Creed month continues!Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

A battle of the men who will not change was the most newsworthy game of the round as Tottenham beat Man United in a genuine relegation 6 pointer.Surely Man United won't slip...right? Even without Amad Diallo and a host of others?The tinfoil hats are off and our third eyes are wide open as we witnessed Liverpool be gifted two very fortunate decisions from the refereeing powers that be as they got away with kicking a ball away while on a yellow and a blatant dive.Elsewhere, the Man City sea-saw bounced back in their favour as they hammered Newcastle 4-0, in a week that saw them win big on and off the pitch.Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

The magic of the cup cast it's spell over the football pyramid over the weekend, but we can't help but feel like its powers are dwindling by the day.Just as whispers began of a potential QUAD Liverpool were eliminated by bottom of the Championship Plymouth Argyle. But with a B-team fielded, do Liverpool even care? Does it matter for Plymouth? Can Will even name 8 more Championship teams?Ange Postecoglu held his head in his hands and tried to work out how he was going to word the same answer he's been giving for months as Spurs get knocked out of their second cup in a week, this time by the new Spurs - Aston Villa. But before we all jump to the usual conclusion, we ask is the football world a little too harsh on Tottenham?A last minute blatantly offside winner from Harry Maguire saw Man United through to the next round of the cup. How will Maguire be remembered in the future as the trophies somehow pile up?A new era for Aston Villa as Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio made their debuts. With Asensio especially who must be asking, how did I end up here?And finally, we ask is there just too much information these days? What's going on with Kendrick and Drake still? Why are you listening to us? Is it time for another hard rock adjacent month for the pod? Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

As the 5th goal went in against Man City, you'd be forgiven for thinking maybe Arsenal had taken some of Haalands criticism to heart the last time they played.A 5-1 win for Arteta's Arsenal over Pep Guardiola's City, while maybe not a title winning game, felt like a big moment for Arsenal as they exorcised some past demons.Nottingham Forest are still in this as they hammer Brighton 7-0, with yet another Chris Wood hat trick.Ruben Amorim is never going to change and that's that, ok? We share our fond memories of watching winter sports for 10 minutes at a time on the former Eurosport, and once again recall the greatest fantasy football game you've never played.Jordan Henderson has heard enough and he's not going to take it anymore!Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

Or something more sinister?Man City managed a 3-1 comeback against Chelsea, even after a disastrous debut for new defender Khusanov. New Pep deal, New Haaland deal, winning games, it's actually business as usual isn't it?Ruben Amorim let it be known once again that he will not be playing Marcus Rashford, even going as far as saying he'd rather have a 60+ year old goalkeeping coach ahead of him.
