#972 | Ed and Adam discuss United's decision not to reinforce the squad in the winter transfer window. Sensible long-term financial planning or one injury away from disaster? Perhaps both, with United in a great position to qualify for the Champions League next season and deeply reliant on Casemiro's revival in central midfield. There's a celebration of United's revival under Michael Carrick. Will it continue this weekend against a Spurs side desperately out-of-form and unhappy with manager Thomas Frank. There are reports of concerns about the club's commercial underperformance - at least relative to rivals who have overtaken United. What do the Glazers expect?  Finally, it's the anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster. Ed and Adam pay respects. 00:00 Introduction 04:11 Transfer Window Review 08:46 Squad Depth 10:39 Champions League Race 21:01 Commercial Performance 27:21 Munich Air Disaster Anniversary 30:23 Tottenham Preview If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

Patrick reflects on being a "late bloomer", why he doesn't compare himself to other American strikers, and what the Gold Cup taught him about himself at the international level. The guys then react to reports linking James Rodríguez with Minnesota United (32:56). Does the Colombian superstar have any idea what Midwest winters are like, and would this be a true needle-mover for the Loons and MLS? San Diego FC make an immediate statement in 2026 with a 4-1 win over Pumas in the Concacaf Champions Cup (41:16). If the writing wasn't already on the wall for Hirving Lozano, it might be now...

Real Madrid kept up their pursuit of league leaders Barcelona but only just, needing a 100th minute penalty from Kylian Mbappe to spare their blushes at home to Rayo Vallecano, in a match which saw Vinicius Jr booed despite scoring a worldie and Jude Bellingham leaving the pitch in tears clutching his hamstring. Gary and Alex look at why the atmosphere continues to be so fractious at the Bernabeu. Barcelona kept themselves ahead of the rest with a 3-1 away at Elche in a game in which they spurned plenty of chances to make the scoreline even greater, goals from Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres and Marcus Rashford were enough for the three points. With the league being so tight and the knock-out stages of the Champions League upon us who do Gary and Alex think has the squad capable of winning it all this season? There's also been more grumbling at Atletico Madrid as they struggled to a 0-0 draw at Levante, leaving Diego Simeone calling for reinforcements in the transfer window, but after fifteen years in charge have the fans decided it's time for a change?

Will Alex Freeman make an impact at Villarreal? And how does Vargas' arrival affect Johnny Cardoso's minutes (20:26)? Then, Deadline Day war stories from the guys' playing days (27:19), Malik Tillman catching fire at Leverkusen (40:24), Patrick Agyemang knocking loudly on the World Cup door (42:44), Pellegrino Matarazzo earning LaLiga Coach of the Month honors (46:11), and how worried we should be about Christian Pulisic's latest injury (48:52)? The crew also reacts to being left off of USMNT legend Tony Sanneh's All-Time Teammates XI (51:15) before turning their attention to the Concacaf Champions Cup (56:14). With San Diego FC kicking things off straight out of preseason, can an MLS side go all the way this year, and is there any looking past Inter Miami as the clear favorites?

Eddie has started playing padel, and Frank is settling in nicely to the Minnesota hockey lifestyle. Novak Djokovic is reminding the tennis world that he's still a force to be reckoned with, but has he always been chasing a big two? And Bill Belichick didn't make it into the Pro Football Hall of Fame at the first time of asking, but were his controversies with the New England Patriots enough to deny him being a first ballot HOFer?  And has the Champions League become too convoluted for its own good? Eddie thinks not and believes that the new format may be optimized for gambling, but not for actual football fans.

In this episode I'm joined by Charles Watts to look back at Arsenal's 3-2 win over Kairat Almaty in the Champions League on Wednesday evening. We discuss the impactful return of Kai Havertz with the German involved in all three goals; Viktor Gyokeres' up and down evening but one which was encouraging in certain aspects; a first half which should have brought more goals; second half changes; not winning this one by a greater margin; and some reflections on the Champions League campaign after eight wins from eight games. We also chat about Martin Odegaard and how the captain is struggling for form this season, whether Mikel Arteta needs to find greater involvement for Eberechi Eze, the manager's pre-game comments about getting on the boat for the final months of the season, and lots more.Follow Charles on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/@CharlesWattsAFCnewsGet extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

Host Ricky Sacks is joined by Jason McGovern, Darren Hart and Luke as a superb professional performance saw us enjoy an excellent win at Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday night to book a fourth-place finish in the league phase of the Champions League and guarantee our path straight into the last 16. Needing a victory to confirm a top eight berth, we were dominant from start to finish at Deutsche Bank Park and eventually got the goals we deserved in the second half, Randal Kolo Muani scoring against his former club seconds after the restart before Dominic Solanke – whose penalty beat Frankfurt on this ground in the Europa League quarter-finals last season – secured the win with a clinical finish. The win means we avoid the play-off round and can now look forward to a two-legged last 16 tie in March against one of either Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Club Brugge or Galatasaray, we debate who we would like to face next and whether it could sway the Club to act in the final days of the transfer window.
