Welcome to the Manchester Football Social: The voice of the fans! We are a daily Manchester football podcast recorded LIVE from the centre of the footballing universe... Manchester! Each show Reds and Blues go head to head discussing all the latest news from Manchester City and Manchester United. Li…
The Manchester Football Social podcast is a fantastic listen for any soccer fan, providing in-depth analysis and discussions about the Premier League. As a new soccer fan from Michigan, I was delighted to find a podcast that breaks down each team without too much bias. The hosts Niall, Joel, and Marley do an excellent job of providing insightful views and opinions on the league while keeping it entertaining and easy to listen to. It feels like being at the pub with your mates, discussing the latest happenings in football.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is its ability to provide comprehensive coverage of all things Premier League. Living in Germany, it can be challenging to stay up to date with the latest news and matches. The Manchester Football Social podcast fills that void by providing daily episodes that cover a wide range of topics and keep fans like me informed about what's happening in English soccer. The hosts' insights are always thought-provoking, and they offer different perspectives as fans of various teams, making for engaging discussions.
While the podcast does an excellent job overall, one potential drawback is the occasional bias when reviewing games involving certain teams. As a Liverpool fan, I sometimes wish that United and City fans didn't review our matches due to their inherent bias towards their rival clubs. A more neutral perspective would be appreciated, especially during important games. However, I understand that the podcast aims to cater to fans of all teams in the league, so some bias is inevitable.
In conclusion, The Manchester Football Social podcast is an absolute gem for soccer fans who want daily updates on all things Premier League. The hosts bring their unique insights as passionate supporters while maintaining an entertaining and informative format. As someone living outside of England, this podcast has become my go-to source for staying connected with English football. Thank you, Niall, Joel, and Marley for consistently delivering great content!

Newcastle, Spurs and Everton all made it safely through to the third round of the Carabao Cup last night, with Thierno Barry continuing his bright start to the season as he bagged a hat trick against Preston North End. Spurs and Newcastle both enjoyed wins too ahead of their meeting at the weekend, with Savio grabbing a debut goal for Roberto De Zerbi's side. On the other half of Merseyside, Liverpool have finally agreed a deal to bring Bradley Barcola to the club as they spend yet more money on their attack. There's also the crazy story of Sabah reaching the Champions League group stage for the first time in their nine-year history, thanks to a Lithuanian coach that won some money on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?

Aston Villa have endured a disastrous start to the season on and off the pitch. Losing 4-0 to Brighton on the opening day was bad enough, but now star striker Ollie Watkins and goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez are set to leave the club, with replacements needing to be rushed through the door before the transfer window closes. Niall and Marley dissect what's happening at Villa Park and whether this is just the way things are with PSR pressures in the modern day game.

PSG beat Aston Villa 2-1 in Salzburg last night as they won their second consecutive UEFA Super Cup, but 17-year-old Brian Madjo stole the headlines. The teenager has been through endless amounts of red tape to get clearance to play first team football and after a goal and a superb performance, we can see why. It wasn't enough to dampen PSG though, as usual suspects Kvicha Kvaratshkelia and Desire Doue scored to win it for PSG. Elsewhere, Man United drew 1-1 with Leeds in Dublin as the game was disrupted by teenagers wanting selfies with Bruno Fernandes and Youri Tielemans. How pre-season is that?

Chelsea show no signs of slowing in the transfer window as they welcome Spanish full back Pep Chavarria to Stamford Bridge, reinforcing Xabi Alonso's back line in the absence of Marc Cucurella. Elsewhere in London, Crystal Palace have swapped Brennan Johnson for Dwight McNeil with Everton in arguably the most mediocre transfer of all time. Futher north, Coventry are targetting a loan move for Chelsea winger Mikhailo Mudryk, who is returning from a doping ban and in need of a reboot to his career, which once had him valued at close to £100m.

England finished off their World Cup warmups with a 3-0 win over Costa Rica in Orlando, but only after they'd been made to wait by adverse weather. Declan Rice, Anthony Gordon and Ollie Watkins scored as attention now turns to the game against Croatia next week, as Thomas Tuchel's men look to finally bring football home.

Manchester City rested some of their in-form players for the visit of Crystal Palace on Wednesday night, but had no trouble dispatching the Eagles before Saturday's FA Cup final. Phil Foden dazzled with two assists as City overtook Arsenal's goal difference, giving them the edge in the title race IF the Gunners draw with Burnley at the weekend. Elsewhere, Oliver Glasner has been clapping back at rumours he might rest his best players on the Premier League final day when his side take on Arsenal in his final game, claiming he hasn't received a cheque from either Mikel Arteta or Pep Guardiola's bosses.

Monday night saw Spurs once again spurn an opportunity to make the final two games of the season much less stressful, as Mathys Tel went from hero to villain. The Dutchman scored a screamer before bicycle kicking Ethan Ampadu inside the penalty area, allowing Leeds to grab an equaliser and keep the pressure on Roberto De Zerbi's side. Former Spurs midfielder Michael Carrick is having a better time of things lately, and is set to be offered the chance to continue as Manchester United boss on a permanent basis after delivering Champions League qualification from his interim spell. Another former Carrick place of work is Middlesbrough, who were eliminated from the Championship playoffs by Southampton on Tuesday night, but want to be reinstated after allegations of espionage overshadowed the occasion.

Arsenal beat West Ham 1-0 at the London Stadium on Sunday to go within potentially 90 minutes of their first Premier League title in over 20 years, but that only tells half the story. West Ham's disallowed 95th minute goal from Callum Wilson has been described as the 'biggest call in VAR history' as it was ruled out for a foul on David Raya. The decision has implications at the bottom of the league too, as it strengthens Spurs' hopes of survival before they take on already-safe Leeds in North London tonight.
