Leave your name in the text!Hello and welcome to the Late Kick Off Football Podcast episode 193!In this week's Premier League review, we break down a dramatic round of midweek fixtures featuring key results in the Champions League race, mounting pressure in North London, and frustration at both ends of the table.We begin with a topsy-turvey game at Selhurst Park as Palace's bonkers season appears to have no end in sight (02:00), before looking at Man City's important win against Fulham (03:00), who continue to take a doing from the Citizens.It is then onto Sunderland versus Liverpool (05:00), where Virgil van Dijk's header from Mohamed Salah's corner secured a crucial three points. The result strengthened Liverpool's push for a top-four finish, in a match that made Premier League history as just the fourth to feature no English players in either starting XI.At Villa Park (08:00), Aston Villa left it late to beat Brighton thanks to Tyrone Mings' decisive header, extending Brighton's winless league run to 13 matches and boosting Villa's European hopes.Newcastle United claimed a close win away at Tottenham Hotspur (13:30), deepening Spurs' struggles. The defeat leaves Tottenham winless in eight league games and signals a turbulent period following Thomas Frank's departure.We also cover the relegation battle (29:00), where Nottingham Forest registered 35 shots in a goalless draw with Wolves that cost Sean Dyche his job, and Manchester United produced their lowest expected goals total of the season in a draw at West Ham (35:00).To round off the show, we discuss what Chelsea's stalemate with Leeds says about their defensive issues, despite generating 3.7 xG, and Bournemouth's growing momentum after coming from behind to beat Everton.Before the bin juice finale with the late game on Thursday against Brentford and Arsenal.All reviews, likes, shares and of course listens are hugely appreciated!

Leave your name in the text!Hello and welcome to the Late Kick Off Football Podcast episode 187! It's a packed festive edition as the panel works through a busy weekend of football across Scotland and England.We begin north of the border with derby drama as Dunfermline leave Stark's Park with a 2-1 win over Raith Rovers, before Dundee United and Aberdeen share the points at Tannadice. From there, we segue into Moment of the Week, where we get on board again with the Dominic Calvert-Lewin runaway train (05:10), and David Raya making a stunning save to keep Arsenal in front against Brighton (07:15).Our first Premier League marquee matchup takes us to Selhurst Park, where a depleted Crystal Palace host Tottenham (09:30) and get emptied. We stay in London for late-Saturday drama at Stamford Bridge. Aston Villa come from behind to beat Chelsea 2–1, with Ollie Watkins once again haunting the Blues and Unai Emery's side matching a club-record winning run (18:50). It's then a capital hat-trick as we head to Brentford, where Kevin Schade's treble fires the Bees to a dominant 4–1 win over Bournemouth and into the top half of the table (31:40).We round things off with Two Things We Learned, Florian Wirtz finally opening his Premier League account for Liverpool (41:30), West Ham's growing relegation fears (42:35), Manchester City's latest creative force (49:35), and Ruben Amorim's puzzling tactical shift at Old Trafford (50:30).Finally, reluctantly, we acknowledge the Bin Juice Game of the Week – a truly grim goalless draw between Burnley and Everton (52:25), so much so that David Moyes didn't even attempt to sugar coat it.All reviews, likes, shares and of course listens are hugely appreciated!

Send us your questions and thoughts by text!! Leave your name in the text!Hello and welcome to the Late Kick-Off Football Podcast episode 186! Jamie and Mike dive headfirst into a packed weekend of football, with the Premier League firmly centre stage.We begin by reflecting on our clubs' misfortunes, from Dunfermline Athletic's narrow defeat to Ayr United to Aberdeen's bruising encounters with Sparta Prague and Celtic (02:00) From there, we move into our Moments of the Week, including Fulham's Monday night win over Nottingham Forest (06:20) and Arsenal's gritty victory at Everton as Mikel Arteta marked six years in charge amid lingering concerns about cutting edge and consistency (07:30).The bulk of the show focuses on three Premier League marquee matchups. Aston Villa's historic run continues with a statement win over Manchester United, prompting debate over results versus performance, Unai Emery's tactical edge, and Ruben Amorim's ongoing struggles (08:55). Leeds dismantled Crystal Palace with ruthless efficiency from set pieces, while the emergence of a 16-year-old academy debutant offers a silver lining for the Eagles (17:50). In north London, Liverpool edged a chaotic contest against Spurs, though the potential long-term injury to Alexander Isak casts a shadow over their momentum (26:00).We then round off the analysis with Two Things We Learned, covering Wolves' alarming slide toward relegation (36:40), Manchester City's relentless standards under Pep Guardiola (38:45), Bournemouth's frustrating mid-table stagnation (42:55), and Newcastle's inability to protect leads after yet another collapse from a winning position (45:10).Finally, there's only one candidate for Bin Juice Game of the Week (49:40), as Brighton and Sunderland serve up a dour goalless draw at the Amex. We assess the Seagull's attacking malaise, Sunderland's growing resilience away from home, and whether a teenage Greek prospect could provide a spark against Arsenal next time out.All reviews, likes, shares and of course listens are hugely appreciated!

Liverpool made light work of Brighton with a brace from Hugo Ekitiké, and Mo Salah sets a new Premier League record.Meanwhile, is Mike worried about Arsenal, who needed a dramatic stoppage-time win over Wolves and is Dominic Calvert-Lewis the latest passenger on the plane to North America.

Send us your questions and thoughts by text!! Leave your name in the text!A chaotic Premier League weekend gives us plenty to unpack. Mike's moment of the week sees the Dyche revival stall as Brighton halt Forest at the City Ground, while Jamie marvels at Woltemade's wonder-goal in Newcastle's biggest away win in years. Dylan relives Fulham's lightning-quick double that stunned Spurs and pushed them to a historic tenth home defeat of the calendar year.We move into our three marquee matchups, starting in London where ten-man Chelsea held Arsenal in a fiery 1-1 draw. We break down the contrasting disciplinary records of both sides, why Merino appears to be the new Peter Crouch, and that Arsenal's superb start still isn't their best under Arteta. Then it's off to Villa Park, where a thunderbolt from Boubacar Kamara edged Wolves, prompting a deep dive into Rob Edwards' high-energy blueprint and whether it will be good enough to keep them in the division (spoiler: it won't)! As well as going over Villa's growing defensive maturity under Unai Emery. Lastly, we head to Selhurst Park as Manchester United mounted a rare fightback: Zirkzee ends a near year-long drought, Mateta's perfect penalty record continues, and Bruno Fernandes climbs another rung on United's all-time assist ladder.In “One Thing We Learned,” Brentford's conveyor belt of number nines rolls on, Phil Foden keeps City breathing in the title race, and Sunderland complete their first-ever comeback from two goals down in the Premier League. And finally… the bin juice game of the week: West Ham 0–2 Liverpool, featuring Isak snapping his scoring drought in a match that will not live in the memory for all that long.All reviews, likes, shares and of course listens are hugely appreciated!

Op een zwoele Catalaanse avond in augustus 2011 stonden de sterren uitgelijnd boven Camp Nou. Niet voor zomaar een wedstrijd, maar voor een clash die bruiste van spanning en oud zeer. Barcelona en Real Madrid, Guardiola en Mourinho, schoonheid en scherpte. De Spaanse Supercopa als decor voor een duel dat steeds minder op voetbal en steeds meer op theater leek.Messi danste als vanouds. Hij strooide met assists, scoorde zelf, en bepaalde het tempo alsof hij de dirigent van een orkest was. Real vocht terug, Benzema en Ronaldo toonden hun klasse, maar in de 88e minuut was het opnieuw Messi die met een magistrale volley het verschil maakte. 3-2. De beker bleef in Camp Nou. De wedstrijd leek beslist.Tot plots het doek werd weggescheurd. Marcelo, wild en gefrustreerd, zaagde Cesc Fàbregas onderuit. Wat volgde was geen slotapplaus, maar een vechtpartij die zelfs Hollywood niet had kunnen regisseren. Duwen, trekken, rode kaarten. Mourinho, met die ijzige blik, stak z'n vinger in het oog van Tito Vilanova — een gebaar dat de rivaliteit een nieuwe, duistere dimensie gaf.De avond eindigde in verwarring. Wat bleef hangen was niet alleen de klasse van Messi, maar de broeierige haat tussen twee ploegen die niet zonder, maar zeker niet met elkaar konden leven. Voetbal als oorlog, schoonheid als bijzaak.Sommige wedstrijden winnen prijzen. Andere winnen geschiedenis. En deze? Die bleef als een litteken op het gezicht van El Clásico.In de podcast verwijzen Bart en Jean-Paul naar:De uitgebreide samenvatting met Spaans commentaar (inclusief chaos aan het einde): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nK67mcLPsQ&ab_channel=FutbisionMEXDe samenvatting met Ray Hudson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3R8_zx9p9g&ab_channel=GC10EXTRADe volledige wedstrijd: https://youtu.be/IPMxipAkvCI?si=RoaawC5mvFaONdjGZie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
