Support the show and get more from Analytics United: https://www.patreon.com/AnalyticsUnited With West Ham United are looking unrecognisable compared to the first half of the season, Jack and Darcy dive into a packed episode of The West Ham Breakdown to cover a vital triple-header. We discuss the huge FA Cup win against Brentford, the crucial 3 points vs Fulham in the Premier League and the recent test against Liverpool at Anfield. In this episode, we break down why West Ham's tactical improvements are finally showing in our league form and whether this momentum is enough to survive the relegation battle. We also compare our current form against rivals like Tottenham and look ahead to the remaining Premier League fixtures. With only two defeats in the last 11 games, the Hammers are in their best run of form since 2023. While the result at Anfield was disappointing, the overall performance levels remain high as the team fights to climb out of the drop zone. Jack and Darcy discuss why the mood at the London Stadium has shifted from hopelessness to positivity and how the squad has built newfound resilience.

James and Rocco are back after a break from the mic - and there's plenty to unpack. Leeds United have two back-to-back league defeats, Farke's red card and that brilliant press conference, Sunderland's masterclass in anti-football (50 minutes of actual play out of 106 allocated - the stats don't lie), the Ramadan booing controversy and the media's lazy take on it, plus that glorious FA Cup night against Norwich. Sean Longstaff, where did THAT volley come from? We look ahead to Crystal Palace away with Farke back on the touchline, the Brentford night game, and an FA Cup quarter-final trip to West Ham. The Opta supercomputer gives Leeds an 8% chance of going down - but does it know our history?

On the latest episode of Running the Game, Rog sits down with Brentford owner Matthew Benham at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference to explore how data, culture, and smart decision-making transformed a small West London club into a Premier League contender. Benham explains how his background in statistical modeling and betting markets shaped Brentford's recruitment strategy, why the club focuses on collective decision-making instead of superstar managers, and how identifying inefficiencies in transfers and set pieces helped fuel their rise. He also reflects on Brentford's striker production line, the role of data versus scouting, and why football still has untapped analytical frontiers.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Brentford's cup run came to a painful end after a penalty shoot-out defeat to West Ham.It was a night of frustration and what-might-have-been for the Bees, who battled hard but ultimately fell short from the spot.Billy ‘The Bee' Grant was outside chatting to the fans straight after the match to get their thoughts on the performance, the penalties, and the feeling after crashing out of the cup.

On this week's episode, Mike and Dan reflect on the 0-0 draw away at Bournemouth, analyse the run-in looking at form teams and remaining fixtures, and look ahead to West Ham away in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Episode 176 – Legion Of Goon: Arsenal's Defensive Wall Shuts Down Brighton as City Drop Points in the Title RaceArsenal head to the south coast and leave with three crucial points after a controlled 1–0 win away at Brighton. With Martin Ødegaard unavailable and William Saliba a late withdrawal, Mikel Arteta's side are forced into changes — but the response is a composed, resilient performance built on defensive authority and intelligent game management.The hosts break down Bukayo Saka's early opener, Brighton's rare attacking moments, and how Arsenal's back line — led by David Raya, Gabriel and Piero Hincapié — quietly took control of the match. The conversation turns to Arteta's substitutions, the tactical adjustments that shut the game down, and why Arsenal were able to limit Brighton to almost nothing after the hour mark.There's also plenty of reaction to Fabian Hürzeler's pre- and post-match comments about Arsenal's game management, as the hosts debate the growing narratives around Arsenal's style of play and the constant scrutiny surrounding the team's set-piece threat.The title race also takes a dramatic twist as Manchester City drop points against Nottingham Forest, sending the Arsenal dressing room into celebration and raising fresh questions about how the run-in could unfold.In Part Two, the hosts dig into the ongoing debate around Arsenal's set-piece dominance, why the conversation has become such a talking point across the league, and whether clubs should simply adapt rather than complain.The episode then looks ahead to Arsenal's FA Cup trip to Mansfield Town, discussing potential rotation, youth opportunities, and how Arteta may manage the squad with a huge run of fixtures approaching — including Leverkusen and the Carabao Cup final.There's also another round of the Prediction Game, a new edition of Justin's Six Pack, and a broader discussion about why Arsenal's cup games have felt very different to the pressure cooker of the Premier League title race.A big week, a massive defensive performance, and a title race that might just be turning Arsenal's way.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:53) - Brighton Review & Team News: Saliba Out, Ødegaard Missing & Starting XI(02:08) - 0–1 | Saka Breakthrough & Verbruggen Goalkeeper Error(04:02) - Penalty Debate: Martinelli Grab & Havertz Challenge(05:12) - Arteta's Game Management: Havertz, Trossard & Calafiori Subs(06:45) - Hincapié, Raya, Gabriel & Timber Praised in Defensive Masterclass(09:31) - Match Stats Breakdown & Brighton's Lack of Threat(10:07) - Substitution Timing & Tactical Impact(11:55) - Fabian Hürzeler Complaints & Pre-Match Mind Games(15:26) - Brighton Crowd Atmosphere & “Only One Team Playing Football” Claim(16:28) - Title Race Moment: Man City vs Forest Reactions(20:49) - Dressing Room Celebrations & Arsenal Momentum(24:03) - Bernardo Silva Complaints & City Frustration(25:25) - Run-In Discussion: Everton, Bournemouth & Etihad Context(28:10) - Defensive Structure Returning & Arteta Tactical Adjustments(30:52) - Pressing Without Ødegaard & Havertz(31:49) - Mental Test & Role of Home Fans(36:02) - PT.2: Set Piece Debate & Media Narrative(38:26) - Corner Grappling, VAR Checks & “Ben White Rule” Discussion(45:52) - Chelsea Corner Routines & Premier League Set Piece Trends(47:53) - Why Every Club Needs a Set Piece Coach(49:08) - League vs Cup Games: Which Are More Enjoyable?(50:52) - European Perspective: Arsenal Tactical Influence(53:54) - Cup Run Possibilities & Fixture Congestion(57:48) - Prediction Game: West Ham vs Brentford(01:00:20) - Spotlight Game: Wrexham vs Chelsea(01:03:21) - Justin's Six Pack: Top Things To Do In Mansfield(01:06:20) - Mansfield Preview & Expected Arsenal Rotation(01:09:14) - Midfield Selection Issues & Youth Opportunities(01:13:31) - Martinelli vs Trossard Debate Continues(01:17:31) - Final Thoughts on Squad Rotation & Competition Priorities
Ander Iturralde da la bienvenida a Óscar Portugal y Santi Bauzá, además de a Gonzalo Carol, para analizar todo lo ocurrido en una nueva jornada intersemanal de la Premier League...Comenzando por el Arsenal en otro de sus terrible partidos pero que al menos, para su fortuna, les dio los tres puntos ante un Brighton un gol menos capaces que ellos; mientras que incapaz de ganar fue el Manchester City y el Nottingham Forest demostró que todavía no está muerto su talento, simplemente estaba dormido; cosas, ni una ni otra, que el West Ham ya no está desde la llegada de Paco Jémez y contra el Fulham ganaron para igualar a puntos con la salvación; la cual seguramente no vaya a alcanzar el Wolverhampton pero al menos va a terminar con todo el tesón y toda la dignidad posible tras sumar su segundo triunfo consecutivo, esta vez contra el Liverpool; el Leeds va a estar en la batalla por no bajar y más tras escárpesele el Sunderland con los tres puntos de Elland Road; así como bajando la carretera hasta Liverpool pudimos ver al Everton desmantelar con completa facilidad al Burnley; algo que no pudieron hacer ni Bournemouth ni Brentford en su empate mientras Jordan Henderson tuvo otra salida de tono; también el Manchester United dejando pasar la oportunidad de vencer al Newcastle en un desnivel de jugadores sobre el campo y cómo el caballero Osula defendió la integridad del castillo; así como Gonzalo Carol tuvo que defender incluso a Alejandro Garnacho en la devastadora victoria del Chelsea sobre el Aston Villa y mucho más.Escucha la versión completa de este episodio PREMIUM de 1:23:38 de duración, apoya a que Alineación Indebida pueda prosperar, accede a todo nuestro contenido premium y a nuestro server de Discord suscribiéndote por tan sólo 5.00$/5.00€ en: https://www.patreon.com/posts/152272536Además...

What happens when a billion-dollar dream meets the cold reality of footballing heritage? In this episode, we break down the high-stakes decline of the Saudi Pro League as the initial hype of 2023 gives way to the "Great Exodus" of 2026. We contrast Cristiano Ronaldo's relentless goal-scoring stats at Al Nassr with the "invisible man" era of Neymar at Al Hilal, and explore why elite competitors like Jordan Henderson eventually traded the desert sun for the grit of the Premier League at Brentford. It's an unflinching look at whether prestige can truly be purchased, or if the Saudi project is destined to remain a glittering, expensive footnote in football history. Saudi Pro League exodus, Cristiano Ronaldo Al Nassr, Neymar transfer news, football power shift 2026, Saudi football investment.

PREMIER LEAGUE: Arsenal outlasts Chelsea in a wrestling match masquerading as a soccer game, thanks in part to the Blues' tendency for childish petulance (which says a lot about the club's lack of leadership). Brentford controversially pips Burnley in and unexpected thriller. Being on the wrong end of 50-50 calls by referees is becoming an unfortunate way of life for Tottenham, leaving the club with a must-win home game on Thursday against 14th place Palace in early March (woof).
