Paddy McKenna, Noz Choudry and Si Lloyd unpick another hectic weekend in the Premier League starting with the Jordan Pickford and his horrific tackle on Virgil Van Dijk which saw the defender ruled out for 7 months at least with a damaged ACL. Noz makes the point that you can argue the tackle wasn't malicious but you can't say it's not reckless again from Jordan Pickford and that's a big problem. Si Lloyd discusses why Premier League PPV, though terrible, may be accepted as a necessary spend by fans who cannot go to the game. And there's a discussion about some of the best fans' chants with Ross Barkley's 'we've got a diamond called Ross Barkley' making the transfer from Everton to Villa, skipping over Chelsea in the process.

On The Football Spin, Reuben Pinder, Noz Choudry and Paddy McKenna discuss the return this weekend of the Premier League after a bleak fortnight of international football. The panel review the history of the A23/Costa Coffee derby and try to get get to the bottom of how did a shit on the Crystal Palace dressing-room floor back in the day.

Reuben Pinder, Si Lloyd, Paddy McKenna and Rob O'Hanrahan discuss the Nation's League games involving England and the Republic of Ireland. England beat the No.1 ranked team in the world, Belgium. For Ireland it was defeat in the Euros qualifier to Slovakia and a dull draw with Wales but the far bigger story was the spate of players who had to withdraw from the squad due to positive Covid tests. Could their experience this international break have implications for other national teams?

On The Football Spin Paddy McKenna, Conan Doherty and Rudi Kinsella reflect on an Ireland performance that showed plenty of promise but ended up with defeat for Ireland in the Euros qualifier. Conan Doherty raises the question if we feel worse because Northern Ireland have gone through and their squad is terrible. Rudi Kinsella points out they were actual highlights in the game last night and not just the usual three corners and Shane Duffy goal from a corner to savour. Paddy McKenna suggests there are clear roles in this team now for attacking-minded players like Jeff Hendrick. The panel discuss the future for Stephen Kenny and the questions raised by his doubters.

The Football Spin with Paddy McKenna, Noz Choudry, Reuben Pinder and Si Lloyd discussed Jurgen Klopp calling out Roy Keane on Sky Sports. Noz described it as a WWE face-off and that we were all Jamie Carragher in that moment, saying absolutely nothing, just letting it all play out.

There was also time to look at Mourinho's assertion that he can't pick his best team for the Carabao Cup with a Europa League game in two days time. Si Lloyd's solution - cancel the League Cup.

And Reuben Pinder chats to Leeds United defender, Liam Cooper about life in the Premier League and how training under Marcelo Bielsa changed his life.

He has spent a lot of money in the summer but his team were totally outclassed by Liverpool. How much time will Frank get before Roman Abramovich finger begins to get itchy? How good is Sadio Mané?

Reuben discusses Tim Sherwood's assessment of the Premier League as 'the toughest in the world' where players from 'foreign countries' might struggle to assimilate as Sergio Reguilon who plays in La Liga with Real Madrid takes a huge leap of faith.

Noz Choudry, Paddy McKenna, Reuben Pinder and Dion Fanning discuss the opening weekend of the 20/21 Premier League season, where the standout fixture saw Everton beat Spurs 1-0. The panel discusses where this defeat leaves Jose Mourinho. Dion argues that there is nothing to commend José Mourinho to any club at this stage of his career and this could get quite sour quite quickly.

There's a chat about Arsenal's continued good form which is beginning to look like a revolution under Mikel Arteta. And there's an analysis of Virgil Van Dijk's form after another uncharacteristic mistake in the game against Leeds.

We know how the story - or at least the season - ends but does that take away from All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur. Certainly not once one man's presence in the documentary was secured.

There's also a chat about James Rodriguez and what his imminent arrival at Everton tells us about about James, Everton and Ancelotti.

Burnley were quick to issue a statement condemning it while Sean Dyche and Ben Mee also were eloquent in their criticism. Mee spoke powerfully about how he felt ashamed by the plane and in doing so highlighted again that there is no turning back. On The Football Spin, Paddy McKenna, Dion Fanning and Nooruddean Choudry talk about the incident and why it illustrated how the world is changing. There is also Jose Mourinho’s fake news and why some records are too good to be true

Liverpool may have to wait for their title after a scoreless draw to forget at Goodison Park. It was a game that deserved to be played in an empty stadium and Everton could have made Liverpool's run in even more tense if they had taken their chances or capitalised on the arrival of Dejan Lovren. It was like Lovren had never been away which wasn't a good thing for Liverpool. On Sunday's Football Spin, Nooruddean Choudry looks at Lovren's career and his apparent political leanings and wonders what it is that links them while Paddy McKenna explains what Carlo Ancelotti is doing to make Everton great again.

What next for Arsenal? Even in an empty stadium, you could feel the rage as Neal Maupay scored a vital winning goal for Brighton on Saturday afternoon. The anger was everywhere but Maupay didn't back down. Arsenal supporters who were angry at him for his role in the injury to Bernd Leno and angrier when he scored, had to listen as he told Arsenal players to learn some humility. But do Arsenal need something other than humility? Can Mikel Arteta change the habits which have been there for years and which have emerged unaltered in lockdown. On The Football Spin, Paddy McKenna, Dion Fanning and Nooruddean Choudry discuss Arsenal being Arsenal and what Mikel Arteta can do about it.

As the Premier League returns, we needed something to jolt us back to normal, but it turns out the new normal is just like the old normal. Roy Keane's half time explosion of rage at David De Gea and Harry Maguire might have been the most notable element of Friday night's football but did it tell us anything about Manchester United and Tottenham? Does that matter? Is Roy Keane an analyst or a state of mind? On The Football Spin, Paddy McKenna, Dion Fanning and Nooruddean Choudry talk about Keane and ask if this is as good as it gets for him. There's also an interview with Joe Cole who talks about Marcus Rashford, West Ham and why The Last Dance reminded him of his days at Chelsea.

The Premier League returned on Wednesday night. There were no fans, the players stayed socially distant in the build up and it was like nothing we had seen before. Well, kind of. Because out of the darkness emerged a hero for our times, a man to tell us that everything will be all right. That man was David Luiz. In a world of uncertainty, David Luiz provided a reminder that some things don’t change. When he came on as a sub, he made up for lost time by being at fault for City’s first goal and bringing down Riyad Mahrez for the second which led to his sending off. And the world breathed easily again. On The Football Spin, Paddy McKenna, Dion Fanning and Nooruddean Choudry talk about the Premier League’s return, Luiz’s special talents and the importance of all players in Wednesday’s matches taking a knee as part of the Black Lives Matter protests.

As the Premier League returns, the Football Spin talks to Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher about how they got on in lockdown, having an opinion on everything and how the changing world will be reflected in the Premier League. Footballers like Marcus Rashford and Raheem Sterling have shown leadership as the Black Lives Matter protests and the consequences of Covid-19 dominate our lives.

Paddy McKenna, Nooruddean Choudry and Dion Fanning discuss Rashford's letter to MPs and the weak response from Boris Johnson.

Dion Fanning and Paddy McKenna talked about Jurgen Klopp's incredibly enthusiastic reaction to winning the European Super Cup. Dion wondered if Klopp is a Twitter lurker after he was spotted with the icon on his iPhone over the summer and that he had been keeping tabs there on the chatter around Adrian/Rocky Balboa. They also looked at Joe Cole's dubious theory on the VAR decision for the penalty that wasn't overturned and Graeme Souness's concern for Stephanie Frappart that she might make 'a major mistake' as she became the first woman to take control of a men's final in a major competition.

Liverpool kick off the 2019/2020 Premier League with a 4-1 win over newly-promoted Norwich.

Paddy McKenna and Conan Doherty discuss the potential next manager of Chelsea. Club legend, Frank Lampard is the frontrunner. What can the man who guided Derby from 6th in the Championship last season to 6th in the Championship this season do that will finally make Roman Abramovich happy? Elsewhere, we talk to Reuben Pinder on the ground at the Women's World Cup. After USA's 13-0 demolition of Thailand, questions have been asked about the quality of the play, but are comparisons to the men's game really that fair? And the Premier League fixtures are out. How uncomfortable will it get for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the Old Trafford hot seat with a hard run of games for Man United to start the new season?

Dion Fanning and Paddy McKenna reflect on another late show from the Republic of Ireland who recovered from going 1-0 down in Denmark to equalise with an awesome leap and header from the towering Shane Duffy. We also discussed the trouble caused by England fans in Porto and why Gary Neville's defence of the fans in the stadium was so wrong. We break the news of the biggest transfer of the summer and hear why Steve Sidwell reckons self-contained Frank Lampard needs to replace the giddy Maurico Sarri.

Liverpool are the European Champions for the sixth time. Their supporters won't care that it was one of the worst finals in recent years as the victory is the statement Jurgen Klopp needed to make.

On The Football Spin, Tony Evans joins Paddy McKenna and Dion Fanning from Madrid to talk about this victory and where it will take Liverpool in the coming years.

The decision to host the Europa League final in Baku was heavily criticised in the run up to the game.

But now that Chelsea are champions will they see it the trip as being worthwhile or is the club running out of ways to enjoy itself. Paddy McKenna and Dion Fanning are joined by Reuben Pinder to discuss the Europa League final and what it means for the managers of both clubs. There is also a Champions League final prediction.
