Hannah Wilkes is joined by John Cross, James Olley and Jonathan Northcroft to reflect on the weekend's sporting action.We kick off with Spurs' difficult start to the season. Roberto De Zerbi's side sit in the bottom three, having failed to score in their opening three games. But the biggest talking point is the VAR decision that ruled out Neco Williams' goal — a decision that, had it stood, would have separated the two sides and condemned Spurs to a third consecutive defeat. John believes the referees got it wrong, so we ask: should there be a higher threshold for VAR intervention?We then turn to Manchester City's “ugly” 1-0 win over Coventry. But is Jonathan being too harsh with his assessment that it's “just like Pep, but slower and far less decisive”?Finally, we turn to a frantic summer transfer window and assess the new squad cost ratio rules. Are they leaving smaller clubs with no choice but to sell, sell, sell?-•You can watch the sporting action live on Sky Sports.

في هذه الحلقة، مع أمير شحادة وأمجد هريش، ناقشنا حالة مانشستر يونايتد المتقلبة، من السقوط المفاجئ أمام هال سيتي إلى العودة بفوز 5-2 على إيبسويتش، وكيف يواصل برونو فرنانديز تقديم الإضافة التي تخفي بعض المشاكل الدفاعية للفريق. كما حللنا البداية الهادئة والقوية لمانشستر سيتي تحت قيادة ماريسكا، ودفاع آرسنال القوي مع أرتيتا، الذي واصل الحفاظ على شباكه نظيفة ووجه رسالة واضحة للبريميرليج. وتطرقنا أيضًا إلى تعادلات ليفربول المحبطة تحت قيادة أندوني أيراولا، والبداية الكارثية لتوتنهام مع دي زيربي، والفوضى الهجومية في تشيلسي مع تشابي ألونسو. واختتمنا الحلقة بأهم نصائح الفانتازي (FPL) وتحديثات دوري المستمعين.     In this episode of Goalcast, with Ameer Shhadeh and Amjad Hreish, we discussed Manchester United's massive fluctuations, from the shocking collapse against Hull City to bouncing back with a 5-2 win over Ipswich, highlighting how Bruno Fernandes' magic is covering up Carrick's defensive disasters. We also analyzed Manchester City's ruthless and smooth transition under Maresca, and Arsenal's ironclad defense sending a clear message to the Premier League with consecutive clean sheets. In addition, we touched on Liverpool's frustrating draws under Andoni Iraola, Tottenham's disastrous start under De Zerbi, Xabi Alonso's chaotic goal-fest at Chelsea, and wrapped up with crucial Fantasy Premier League (FPL) tips and updates for our listener mini-league.

Manchester City are only two league matches into the Maresca era, but the possibilities are already becoming difficult to ignore. Cherki supplied the imagination, Haaland delivered the punishment, and a 4–1 victory at Selhurst Park offered an imposing glimpse of what this evolving City side could become.⚽

On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids, and Chris express their absolute dismay towards the Community Shield's double booking, and ask whether Manchester City's 3-0 defeat to Arsenal is anything to worry about for Pep's replacement Enzo Maresca.The Gunners' strong start has the lads wondering if they could run away with a consecutive Premier League title, and we also get into the Championship - with Millwall backed to make a serious push for the playoffs and plenty of love for the players expected to light up the season.Sids signs off from the Maldives before the lads are joined by singer-songwriter Ben Cipolla, whose football-inspired songs have taken social media by storm. Ben explains how a joke about Brighton's Deniz Undav turned into a growing catalogue of football songs, before revealing how his Djed Spence song exploded after an appearance on 606. He also talks about becoming a full-time musician, his ambitions to take the football songs even further, and Chris reveals his dream of Ben reaching the Christmas Number One spot.And if that wasn't enough, Ben brings along some homemade dips from his mate Paddy (in classic random pod fashion), performs his brilliant football songs live in the studio, and then unveils an EXCLUSIVE new song written especially for the podcast – ‘Back Stronger'.Chumbawamba- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 00:00 - Sids joins from the Maldives after a day of coaching02:22 - The lads discuss the recent eclipse and whether they looked at the sun04:50 - The conversation moves towards the weekend's football07:17 - Manchester City's Community Shield defeat and whether Maresca should worry09:57 - The lads discuss the Community Shield and its importance12:15 - Have we completely neglected the Community Shield?14:44 - Jack Grealish gets a big positive mention after returning to action17:11 - Could Arsenal run away with the Premier League title?19:58 - Championship talk begins and the lads assess the early season20:18 - Watford impresses massively and gets the lads talking21:50 - Millwall backed for a Championship playoff push22:31 - The Jack Rudoni name mix-up is addressed25:29 - The lads get family involved in the Arsenal vs Coventry prediction26:33 - More predictions: Brentford vs Spurs and Newcastle vs Liverpool27:54 - Ben Cipolla joins the podcast29:10 - How Ben's football songs started with Deniz Undav30:20 - From TikTok chants to full football songs30:37 - That Djed Spence song31:50 - Ben explains the 606 appearance that changed everything32:56 - How going viral changed Ben's life33:30 - Ben's career as a full-time singer-songwriter34:11 - Could football songs take Ben all the way to the charts?35:49 - Is Djed Spence actually aware of the song?36:23 - Ben arrives with homemade dips from his mate Paddy37:29 - The lads put Paddy's dips to the ultimate test39:16 - Ben performs the viral Djed Spence song LIVE40:45 - Ben performs a Dan Burn inspired song42:18 - “Nothing But An Arm Break” gets it's live debut43:38 - Ben reveals he has written a song about Crouchy and the pod44:10 - The EXCLUSIVE first play of “Back Stronger”46:18 - The lads react to one of the best songs they've heard48:01 - The lads discuss Ben's future and a potential Crouch Fest rumour…48:24 - The episode wraps up- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Check out Ben's stuff! https://linktr.ee/BenCipolla For more Peter Crouch: Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch For more Chris Stark Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_StarkInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/For more Steve Sidwell Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14 #PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast Hosted on Acast.

It's almost upon us.A mere month after the World Cup Final, we are staring down the barrel of a brand new Premier League football season and Gabby, Mark & Nedum are as excited as a bunch of rowdy kids on Christmas eve.Join the guys as they break down the most unpredictable Premier League season ever. We are talking about the Big 6 - who will be Mikel Arteta's rival this season, how can Maresca replace Pep and how are Spurs part of the Big 6 after narrowly avoiding relegation…twice?!It is the first time a Premier League season will kick off without a Klopp, Fergie, Wenger or Pep as an unprecedented NINE new Managers will take to the dugout for the first time and Nedum has concerns about almost all of these young pups.Elsewhere there's a raft of new rules for Gabby & Mark to make sense of before they host Match of the Day this weekend, and the newly promoted sides come under the spotlight as Ipswich Town spend money like a sailor on shore leave.

On this week's episode of The Joy of Football Podcast, Martin Tyler and Neil Barnett complete their 2026/27 Premier League season preview, turning to the final ten clubs and asking what success looks like for each. From Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City chasing the biggest prizes to Newcastle United's rebuild, Tottenham Hotspur's new era and Sunderland balancing Premier League football with Europe, the pair assess the biggest questions ahead. The preview begins with Hull City, Ipswich Town, Leeds United, Liverpool and Manchester City. Newly promoted Hull and Ipswich face Premier League survival, while Daniel Farke's Leeds look to build on an impressive first season back and target the top half. At Liverpool, the departures of Mohamed Salah, Ibrahima Konaté and Andy Robertson signal another period of change. Can they return to the Premier League title race and mount another serious UEFA Champions League challenge? Then comes one of the season's biggest questions: what happens to Manchester City after Pep Guardiola? With Enzo Maresca succeeding Guardiola after ten extraordinary years, City are undergoing a major transformation. Martin and Neil discuss the departures of John Stones, Nathan Aké and Bernardo Silva, the arrival of Elliot Anderson, the future of Rodri, Maresca's philosophy and whether Erling Haaland, Phil Foden and Gianluigi Donnarumma can keep City among England's elite. Martin's Letter From The Gantry heads to York City, as Martin fulfils a promise to attend the club's return to the English Football League after ten years away. Alongside fellow commentator and York supporter Guy Mowbray and Liverpool legend Mark Lawrenson, Martin reflects on York's journey back to the EFL and a thrilling 3 2 victory over Bristol Rovers. He also tells the stories of Ollie Pearce and Joe Felix, two players whose journeys through non league football eventually led them to the Football League. Back in the Premier League, attention turns to Manchester United, Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest, Sunderland and Tottenham Hotspur. Michael Carrick begins his first full season in charge of Manchester United with Champions League football returning to Old Trafford. Martin and Neil discuss Youri Tielemans, Andrey Santos, Casemiro and Marcus Rashford, and ask whether United can close the gap to Arsenal and become genuine Premier League title contenders. Few clubs face more change than Newcastle United. With Eddie Howe gone and Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimarães and Anthony Gordon all departing St James' Park, Martin and Neil examine a dramatic summer on Tyneside. After years of expectation following the club's Saudi backed takeover, are Newcastle moving closer to the Premier League elite, or have they taken a significant step backwards? Nottingham Forest begin a new era under Oliver Glasner, while Sunderland prepare for one of the most exciting and difficult seasons of their recent history. After earning Europa League football, Martin questions whether Sunderland can surprise Premier League opponents again while competing in Europe. With Granit Xhaka staying and Brian Brobbey potentially crucial, can Sunderland enjoy a European adventure without risking Premier League survival? Finally, Tottenham Hotspur enter another new chapter under Roberto De Zerbi after consecutive 17th place Premier League finishes. Following a huge summer including the arrival of Sandro Tonali, Martin and Neil ask whether Spurs can finally leave their struggles behind and return to the battle for Champions League qualification. With all 20 clubs now previewed across Episodes 123 and 124, Martin Tyler and Neil Barnett give their verdict on the teams, players, managers and stories that could define the 2026/27 Premier League season. #PremierLeague #PremierLeaguePreview #MartinTyler #ManchesterUnited #Liverpool #ManchesterCity #NewcastleUnited #Tottenham #Sunderland #LeedsUnited #NottinghamForest #MarcusRashford #ErlingHaaland #MichaelCarrick #TransferNews #ChampionsLeague #EuropaLeague #FootballPodcast Hosted by The Revive Lounge Ltd UCsdye1hUxP4xhgBx9zvuSjg Subscribe to https://youtube.com/@TheReviveLounge?si=L5ddzrJrtSmErtJ5 Support the Pod https://patreon.com/TheJoysofFootballPodcast?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink Read us on Substack https://martintylerandneilbarnett.substack.com/ Follow our Twitter https://x.com/TheJOF Follow our Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@joy_of_football_pod?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc Follow our Instagram https://https://www.instagram.com/joy_of_football_pod/ Contact us via: therevivelounge@gmail.com Music by Arron Clague - https://www.instagram.com/arronclague?igsh=aHg1bjQ3OHpmaXIz Intro Sequence by Wellong Sadewo (wells.illustration): https://www.instagram.com/wells.illustration/ A massive thank you to our Patreon Supporters: Nick Parmenter Hillary Abbott Daniel Butigan Tommy Mck Katie Watson Nathan A Learn more about your ad choices.

Reigning Premier League Champions Arsenal are taking on FA Cup winners Manchester City in the Community Shield on Sunday, with both clubs having very different off-seasons, so Aaron Paul along with Clinton Morrison, Phil Brown and Dwight Gayle try and breakdown what's gone on inside the two clubs.

For Arsenal they are the reigning champions for the first time in over 20 years…how will they cope with being the side everyone else is looking to beat? And several clubs are in Europe for the first time, or back in European competition with Sunderland, Bournemouth and Manchester United on that list – so Aaron looks at their quieter summers in terms of incoming transfers.And don't forget there's commentary on 5 live of the Community Shield from 3pm live from the Principality Stadium on Sunday.

Red, White & Blues FC | Butterfly Tattoos, a Mid-Episode Signing, and City CirclingChalobah's gone, City want three of ours, Chelsea completed a transfer while we were literally recording, and we made a tattoo pact on air. Normal Thursday.We open the only correct way — laughing at Arsenal, who apparently believed they had a shot at Vinícius Júnior right up until he pointed out he isn't tired of winning Champions Leagues yet. From there it's a rumor-mill episode, because there's exactly one confirmed piece of Chelsea business this week and about fifteen things that might be. Jason delivers a full monologue on why transfer season is the footballing equivalent of being cornered by someone describing their dream. And then, halfway through the Enzo conversation, Fabrizio broke a deal live and we had a new signing before the episode ended.Farewell, Trevoh ChalobahThe one concrete thing: Chalobah is officially a Como player, €30m plus €6m in add-ons. He'd been at the club roughly twenty years and BlueCo never knew what to do with him — treated like an afterthought, shipped out on loan, brought back, never quite trusted. Neither of us pretends he was world class, but that was always fine. He was an excellent role player who could cover injuries, give you cup minutes, and actually loved Chelsea, and you need those in a squad. He was better than Disasi, better than Badiashile, and frequently better than Fofana. Thanks, Trev. Enjoy Italy. BlueCo got their £30m of pure profit.The Rumor Mill: Osimhen, Diogo Costa, and Too Many DefendersTottenham have made an offer for Victor Osimhen, so naturally Chelsea might go back in for Osimhen — because they have a toy and now we want the toy. That's three summers running. It fell apart on wages last time, he's two years older, and nothing about the math has changed. More interesting: Portuguese reports have Chelsea in talks for Diogo Costa and ready to match his €60m release clause, which is the one goalkeeper move we're both fully on board with, even if he'd be inheriting the same shambolic back line. On which — do we need more defenders? Yes, but we still have Disasi, Badiashile, Tosin, Mamadou Sarr, and Aarón Anselmino sitting there, and only the last two have youth as an excuse. Badiashile's linked to Napoli, Tosin reportedly has “lots of interest” per Fabrizio (please, take him), and Crystal Palace have submitted a loan with an obligation to buy for Disasi — take it, take five pounds, just get out of the Disasi business. Move those three and you're left with Fofana, Lacroix, Colwill, Anselmino and Hato covering in, which is enough. Sell this summer, clear the deadwood, buy quality next year once we're back in the Champions League.The Butterfly Tattoo PactThen the bad news: Chelsea are reportedly leaning toward a transfer or loan for Mudryk to Strasbourg. We said on Monday we'd riot, and we meant it — this administration was already dead to Jason, and he's not sure what's past dead. Daniel's position is that if Mudryk leaves, the title dream is gone, Champions League is gone, we're in the Conference League, we might not qualify for Europe at all. His actual vision for the season: Chelsea win the league by three points because Mudryk comes off the bench to score a 90th-minute winner against Arsenal in a 2-1. And so the pact, arrived at independently by both of us, which is what almost thirty years of friendship does to two people: if Mudryk stays and Chelsea win the league, we both get the exact butterfly tattoo. One cheek each. Possibly a wing apiece so we can moon people in formation. The one loan destination we'd actually enjoy is Coventry, purely to watch Frank Lampard coach up Mudryk — and it's genuinely nice to see Lamps is a good manager after all, just one who was handed two impossible situations at Chelsea.City Want Three of Ours, and Has Enzo Peaked?Manchester City have been linked with three Chelsea players in one day: Malo Gusto at £75m, Pedro Neto around £70m, and now Enzo Fernández, with Rodri reportedly off to Barcelona and Maresca wanting Enzo as the replacement. The Gusto number is Chelsea pricing a player so he doesn't sell — City said interested, but absolutely not at 75, which is what anyone with a footballing brain would say. Neto's number, by contrast, is priced to be paid, and the official line that he's “a very important part of the squad but the price would have to be right” translates cleanly as: we'll sell him tomorrow to a big enough sucker. Neither of us will miss Neto, a player who does almost nothing with an enormous amount of talent and whose main skill is spamming crosses without knowing where they're going. The Enzo conversation is the meatiest thing in the episode. Has he peaked? Jason thinks roughly yes — 20 goal contributions a year is his ceiling, and last season's 10 goals and 4 assists are attacking-midfielder numbers, not the Fàbregas-style controller you'd want beside Caicedo. That's exactly why the pivot fails: Caicedo drops to a fifth defender, Enzo pushes forward, and Chelsea simply cede the middle of the pitch, which is what Maresca did to us all season. Lavia is the right profile, if Lavia could ever string together ninety minutes, which in three years he hasn't. We both like Enzo, both think he plays hard for the badge — and both suspect he's a mercenary who'd play just as hard for City's badge the moment they pay him.And Then We Signed Someone Mid-EpisodePep Chavarría to Chelsea, broken by Fabrizio while we were recording: €19m plus €2m in add-ons, flying for a medical, signatures the same night. A 28-year-old left back from Rayo Vallecano who has never been capped by Spain. Daniel's verdict is blunt — this is not a Xabi Alonso signing, this is 100% a BlueCo signing, and the idea that every arrival this window is an Alonso pick is a narrative the club is happy to let run. In fairness, Chelsea genuinely don't have a left back since Cucurella left; Hato can do it but is better at left center back, and Palestra can technically cover. The question is whether we've just bought a starter or a very expensive backup. Elsewhere in the Juventus match: Hato started at left back, Palestra and Quenda linked up well on the right and Quenda had a strong first half, Fofana has publicly announced he wants to prove he can be the player we thought he was before the injuries — which mostly tells you he knows what the rest of us know. The squad is bloated, more players keep arriving, and the thing Chelsea are worst at is the thing they most urgently need to do. As Jason puts it: BlueCo aren't bad at selling players, they're bad at buying them, and then they have to sell the bad players they bought, and nobody wants them because they're bad.Programming NoteThe live Thursday show didn't happen this week and probably won't next week either — most likely we kick it off properly when the season starts.

Red, White & Blues FC | Mudryk Is Back, Infantino Tried to Sell the World CupChelsea have been made whole again. Also, the president of FIFA attempted a legal bribe in broad daylight and it blew up in his face.Big things happening, big people back, old people here, and Infantino is an asshole — that's the episode in one line. Mykhailo Mudryk is finally cleared and back at Chelsea after twenty months away, which sends Daniel into a full state of rapture and Jason into a state of mild concern about it. Then we get into a preseason loss to ten-man Tottenham that neither of us can confirm actually happened, two deals that went official today, and the small matter of FIFA nearly spinning the World Cup off into a private equity vehicle. There's no transfer deep-dive here — that's Thursday, and we've got an announcement about Thursday at the end.Welcome Back, KingMudryk is back for two more years and Daniel is not being ironic about how happy he is — well, mostly not. The man everybody puts their hopes and dreams into, who constantly disappoints us, and whom we love anyway, butterfly tattoos and all. The infuriating part is the timing: the rules changed after he got popped, and if the same result came in today no charge would have been brought at all. He lost twenty months of his career to a process that dragged. So, some house rules going forward — don't leave your drinks unattended, don't take supplements, fire the virtual doctor, become a vegan, get it straight from the source. The training photo of Mudryk and Estêvão together in Hong Kong is Daniel's new favorite Chelsea picture ever, and on the strength of it alone he has decided we're winning the league. Peak Eden Hazard season. Then the Strasbourg loan rumor surfaced and the joy curdled instantly: send Gittens for the reps, Mudryk doesn't need them. Over/under on a red card in his first match remains open.A Loss to Ten-Man Tottenham That May or May Not Have OccurredNeither of us watched it, so neither of us can confirm nor deny. Let Tottenham have it — it's preseason, and God knows they need something. Estêvão scored, other people spent the afternoon trying to take our players out, and the only thing that actually matters is that we came out of Australia without injuries. The pitches on this tour have been rubbish, no Ed Sheeran required this time. Lavia played and did not get hurt, which we're treating as a minor miracle, and Jason would like Estêvão laying healing hands on the entire locker room for the full season. Wednesday's Juventus match is at Kai Tak Sports Park in Hong Kong, and Daniel's faith in a decent surface rests entirely on the theory that the hosts won't want to look bad — unlike whatever repurposed rugby pitch we were playing on in Australia.The Bushwhackers Are Officially Chelsea PlayersDanny Welbeck and Jordan Henderson have both been formally announced, which prompts several minutes of the two of us doing the Bushwhackers arm-swing at each other. Careful, lads, you'll sprain something. The mental image we can't shake is Welbeck and Henderson coming off the bench while Estêvão and Mudryk heckle them from the sideline — Henderson, don't use your arms to break your fall, your bones are brittle. He's going to concede a handball and break his arm doing it. Elsewhere: Geovany Quenda is with the squad now and we're hoping to see his Chelsea debut, two deals went official today with Trevoh Chalobah joining Como and Valentín Barco finally being confirmed as a Chelsea player — a signing we're fairly sure was announced two months ago, and one that even Rory apparently missed, given he quote-tweeted his own World Cup post about what a little shit Barco was to Bellingham to ask whether the guy is a Chelsea player now. One of the foremost Chelsea pundits in the world, everybody.Infantino Tried to Sell Shares in the World CupThe main event. FIFA's plan was to spin the commercial side into a standalone company — FIFA Forward Enterprises, valued around $20 billion — sell shares to private equity, and distribute the proceeds to member federations, with FIFA itself staying a nonprofit handling the sport. Call it what it is: a legal bribe. Infantino's pitch was effectively “vote no and you get $2.7 billion, vote yes and you get ten,” plus a rumor he'd personally clear about $30 million if it went through. The man ran on transparency and, to be fair, he's being extremely transparent about the bribery. What's new isn't the corruption — we know FIFA, we remember Blatter and the brown envelopes and how Qatar got a World Cup, and we get into how confederations quietly print money reselling allocated tickets at multiples of face value. What's new is the brazenness. CONCACAF and UEFA came out against it, UEFA threatened an outright boycott without mincing words, the plan leaked before it could even be pitched, and by the time we're recording Infantino has scrapped it. Now the question is whether he survives it. He's currently running unopposed ahead of the March 2027 election, and if UEFA and CONCACAF can agree on a single challenger, the math gets very interesting. This is the Super League all over again: fans will tolerate a lot, but not a small group openly centralizing the money and taking the whole pie.What We're Actually Looking Forward ToWe close on the honest question, and both answers come back to the same man. Jason's is Xabi Alonso — the first time since Tuchel was fired that he's been excited to watch a coach cook. After Potter, after Lampard going through the motions, after Pochettino shitting the bed until the last six matches, after Maresca abandoning us for City, this is a manager who can command a locker room and has the résumé to back it. He'd rather have European football, but no Wednesdays and no Thursdays means a low-pressure season, and after four relentlessly negative years the prospect of just watching Chelsea play without the BlueCo drama is its own reward. Daniel's answer is simpler: he's excited to be excited. Quenda and Estêvão, Palmer, João Pedro, Mudryk back in the building, Xabi in charge. Still holes at goalkeeper and in defense, still no idea how a back four is going to work, still question marks about locker-room management. And when Daniel asks how long before it all comes crashing down, Jason gives him three months — because December is coming, and December always comes.One More ThingStarting this Thursday, the transfer episode goes live. 6:15pm-ish on YouTube and X, questions and opinions welcome in the chat.

Red, White & Blues FC | Old FC: Lacroix, Welbeck, Henderson, and a Squad Nobody Will BuyChelsea finally bought a center back, then signed two 35-year-olds, and still haven't sold a single one of the players clogging the squad. Daniel called it. Jason owes him a rubber duck.Daniel predicted on Monday that Chelsea were turning into Old FC, and by Thursday the club had gone and proved him right, so the predictions baton — an actual rubber duck — changes hands next weekend. This is a pure transfer episode: Maxence Lacroix in from Crystal Palace for £52m, Danny Welbeck in from Brighton, Jordan Henderson in on a free, and absolutely nobody going the other way. We save the UEFA and Infantino mess for Monday. What we've got here instead is a squad getting more bloated by the week, a set of owners who still can't sell anybody, and one manager we're both quietly leaning on to make sense of it all.Maxence Lacroix, or “Mid With Hope”The center back BlueCo couldn't get for our manager last summer finally arrives — £52m, 26 years old, and the first player over 26 Chelsea have signed since 2022. Jason's verdict lands on a phrase we're keeping: mid with hope. Lacroix is Premier League proven with a genuinely excellent injury record — barely a match missed since arriving in England, one 71-day shoulder problem at Wolfsburg, and a bout of COVID. But he's a back-three center back who played in a back three at Palace, and if you stick him next to Levi Colwill in a four, we're worried. When Saliba went off at the World Cup and Lacroix came in, France's defense fell apart and he had a couple of knucklehead moments. And the comparison set is the problem: is he better than Wesley Fofana, Trevoh Chalobah, Axel Disasi, Benoît Badiashile? Probably. By how much? We wanted a stalwart to lock down next to Colwill for six years. We got another player we'll be arguing about in January.And What Happens to Josh Acheampong?The saddest thread of the night. Simon Johnson reported Chelsea rate Josh Acheampong so highly they've labeled him untouchable and keep rebuffing approaches — while simultaneously signing over the top of him and barely playing him. Maresca gave him almost nothing last season, which made it close to a wasted year, and now Lacroix arrives on the right side of the defense and blocks him again. We both want the same thing for him: a loan. It's exactly what worked for Colwill, who went out twice and came back a starter. Send him to a Championship side, send him to a bottom-half Premier League club, hell, send him to Lamps at Coventry — anything but another season of training at Cobham. If Josh comes out and asks to leave, neither of us would be shocked, and neither of us would blame him.Old FC Arrives: Welbeck, Henderson, and the Pendulum ProblemThen the big one. Two 35-plus signings in a week — Danny Welbeck from Brighton for an undisclosed fee, and Jordan Henderson on a free. Welbeck, Daniel can be talked into: one of the league's best bench goalscorers, and he's personally tormented Chelsea for three years, so at minimum we stop suffering. But the fee being undisclosed tells Daniel we overpaid, and because it's Brighton, we definitely overpaid. Henderson, though, nobody can sell us on. He's not closing out matches at 36, and the “he'll bring maturity and help Xabi from the sideline” argument doesn't land when we're still a squad of shitheads who'll do shithead things. The deeper frustration is that this is BlueCo overcorrecting: Chelsea fans asked for experience for four years, and instead of a 27- or 28-year-old who can still contribute, the pendulum swung straight past to two guys a step from retirement. The Reddit meme says it best — red pill, blue pill, below 21 or above 35, pick your poison. And it's not like there was competition. There was no secret race for Danny Welbeck.The Real Problem: Chelsea Can't Sell AnybodyUnderneath every complaint tonight is the same structural issue. Chelsea bring in a fourth backup striker while Nicolas Jackson, Liam Delap, and Marc Guiu are all still here. They buy shitty players, then demand astronomical fees for those shitty players because they're trying to recoup, which is exactly why Badiashile's fee can't be agreed and why Disasi can't be shifted. Delap cost £30m, got hurt for a chunk of the season, scored two goals in the League Cup, and is now valued at £35–40m — which only works if you find another sucker club, and Arsenal can't be the sucker club every single window. Jackson's valued around $60m, which is the same overvaluation that pushed him out on loan to Bayern last year. Add the loans we part-subsidize and the picture is a club that talks about buying while the bloat gets worse. Elsewhere in the rumor pile: Badiashile to Napoli on loan with an option nobody expects Napoli to exercise, Filip Jørgensen off the tour and headed to Strasbourg (our sincere apologies, Strasbourg — you've deserved better, and you've had Andrey Santos and Emegha work out fine), Pedro Neto priced somewhere near £70–80m because Chelsea are using this summer's winger fees as their benchmark, Kendry Páez on the loan list again with attitude questions, Kerim Alajbegović off to Juventus rather than be a project player here, Murillo linked out of a Brazilian outlet, Alex Scott still circling as the midfielder we'd sign only if Enzo goes, and Mamadou Sarr needing an English loan after we wrecked his season for no reason.Lewis Hall, and the Part That Actually HurtsThe one that gets us: Chelsea want Lewis Hall back. Our own academy player, sold by BlueCo, now reportedly no fan of the club, and the plan is apparently to lean on Xabi Alonso to charm him home. We both like Hall. That's the point. Buying back a homegrown kid you never should have sold doesn't read as humility, it reads as incompetence — and what does it do to your precious pure-profit column? That takes us into the closing rant, and it's the honest one. We're watching a club run by people who are demonstrably brilliant at private equity and demonstrably clueless at football, and Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart should have been gone years ago instead of collecting raises. Jason's tempering the hype this time — he rode the train last season and it blew up — but he'll admit Xabi is the only reason any of this holds together, because unlike the last few, this one has actually walked the walk. And Daniel's first bold prediction of the season: Jordan Henderson will spend more time in the infirmary with Roméo Lavia than with any other midfielder. Lavia, naturally, is already hurt.

Red, White & Blues FC | £117m for Morgan Rogers and a Rumor Mill Gone FeralChelsea break the Premier League transfer record, ship Garnacho off to Villa, and get linked to roughly half of Europe — and we're cynical about most of it.Transfer season is here, and Daniel opened the show by torturing Jason all day with an all-caps text promising a “big surprise announcement” that had nothing to do with transfers. The payoff: bald fraud Anthony Taylor is retiring, and we will never have to watch him officiate a Chelsea match again. From there it's a genuinely wild 48–72 hours of business — one record signing, one loan exit, and a rumor list long enough to need its own spreadsheet. We're happy, we're skeptical, and we're bracing for the moment BlueCo inevitably breaks our hearts again.Anthony Taylor Rides Off — and No, We're Not “Delusional”We saw The Athletic's framing coming: fans piling on Taylor at retirement supposedly proves how “delusional” supporters are about referees. We push back hard. We're not anti-referee — we know it's a brutal job, the gear, the whining twenty-somethings surrounding you every match. We're anti-Premier League referees, and we are 1,000% anti-Anthony Taylor specifically. The only bittersweet part is we'll never get to hear that Chelsea terrace chant about him again.Morgan Rogers for £117m — Record Signing, Familiar DoubtsThe big one: Morgan Rogers joins from Aston Villa for a reported £117m, a new Premier League record, on a six-plus-one. The Xabi Alonso “pull” narrative is everywhere — a phone call, Cole Palmer's friendship, Chelsea being Chelsea — and this is where Daniel and Jason go back and forth. Daniel refuses to swallow the “Chubby wanted him so Chubby got him” line whole, pointing out we heard the exact same thing about Maresca and Pochettino. Yes, a serious manager helps recruitment; no, it doesn't explain everything, and the round-table “Knights of Chelsea” mythology (with Eghbali cast as King Arthur) is media hype. Both of us land in the same place: Rogers is a good player, 23, on sensible wages, fitting the buy-young-sell-high model — but we overpaid, and we don't actually know where he fits. Double tens? Wing? Wing-back under Alonso? Nobody's sure.The Money Doesn't Add Up — and the Defense Pays for ItWe dig into the We Ain't Got No History math floating around: the Rogers fee roughly equals what Chelsea banked from Cucurella, Andrey Santos, Tyrique George, Jimmy-Jay Morgan, and the Maresca compensation. We both flag the same flaw — those are gross numbers, and we were still paying wages on most of them, so the “we basically got Rogers for free” spin doesn't hold. What's undeniable is Chelsea sell better than anyone (£400m+ shifted, largely pure-profit academy kids), which is how the spending happens. But Jason's frustration is the through-line of the whole episode: for the same £117m, Chelsea could have had a center back and a goalkeeper. Instead it's another attacker, and the back line is in the lurch again. And, oh yeah — still no front-of-shirt sponsor, four years running, £200m+ left on the table.Garnacho Out, and the Great Rumor AvalancheGarnacho heads to Villa on loan with a soft, appearance-based option around £43m — meaning Chelsea might somehow turn a profit on a player nobody wanted. Good riddance and good luck; Villa's own subreddit is bracing for another reclamation project (”if Unai Emery can't fix him, no one can”). Then we speed-run the rumor mill: Maxence Lacroix inching closer (but don't get fooled, we've seen Chelsea put all their marbles in one basket before), Nico possibly reuniting with Emery, Bruno Guimarães as a possible Arsenal hijack, Enzo Fernández linked to Atlético and quietly to City, and the one that actually excites us — Cristian Romero from Spurs in a swap that offloads Neto. We've begged for years for a proper asshole in this squad; Romero, red cards and all, might finally be our asshole. Add Alex Scott, Adam Wharton, Illia Zabarnyi, Eduardo Camavinga, and a Bosnian teenage winger (Kerim Alajbegović) to the pile, and Fabrizio Romano is teasing a “Da Bomba” midfield transfer that's almost certainly just a name we've already heard. We close on Morgan Rogers one more time, on our own cynicism, and on the quiet hope — dangerous as it is — that this time it actually works. This is a public episode.
