On the latest edition of Caught Offside, Andrew and JJ take a look at the top of the table as Arsenal are one corner better than Chelsea in a match featuring much bear-hugging, face-punching and red carding. We also discuss the Semenyo bounce that Man City have received from their big January signing and we share our appreciation of everything Bruno Fernandes has given Manchester United since becoming their big January signing.And then, it's on to Tottenham as Spurs lose, 2-1, to Fulham and move ever-closer to the unthinkable. Why is this happening? Is it the manager? Is it the players? Is it the referees? And would a Spurs survival feel as triumphant as Everton's did or would this be a survival of a different kind? And finally, we close out the pod by giving it up to Weston McKennie on his contract extension with Juventus and by analyzing the dual-national decision that lies ahead of potential USMNT centerback, Noahkai Banks.For even more Caught Offside content, get on over to Caught Offside Plus right now!On our most recent PLUS episode, Andrew gets the time machine back out to reveal a Caught OffFIVE of the top 5 matches he would go back in time to attend.

Nottingham Forest were beaten 2-1 at Brighton on Sunday in a performance arguably full of worrying signs when it comes to Premier League relegation. Are the Reds going down or they can turn it around in the final 10 games? Are West Ham and Spurs set to start winning or are they just as troubled? Matt Davies is joined by Michael Temple, Pete Blackburn and former Reds midfielder David Prutton. #nffc #nottinghamforest

Arsenal find a way again.In this episode, we break down a tense 2–1 win over Chelsea decided by three crucial set pieces — two Arsenal corners and one unfortunate own goal. It wasn't a flowing, dominant performance, but it was decisive when it mattered.We begin with Arteta's Non-Negotiables and the pre-match context: late fitness doubts, midfield reshuffles, and what Odegaard's absence meant structurally. From there, we analyse the game's rhythm — an unexpectedly open, end-to-end contest that lacked control in key phases.The first half saw Arsenal strike from a beautifully worked corner routine before conceding from one of their own defensive lapses. We discuss the Zubimendi performance debate, the midfield spacing issues, and the growing theme of game-state management.In the second half, another corner proved decisive. We assess Timber's impact, Martinelli's directness off the bench, and whether Arsenal's attacking structure is functioning without its usual creative axis. Raya's key late saves and Arsenal's increasingly nervy final ten minutes come under the microscope — is this resilience or risk?There's a wider conversation about late-game control, possession surrender, and whether this side is defaulting too quickly into defensive protection mode.Part Two includes:– The Who Am I? Game– A full Whip Around the Grounds– A bumper VAR review featuring controversy from Bournemouth, Burnley, Leeds and beyond– Title race implications– Relegation theatre– And a look ahead to Brighton, with selection dilemmas and midfield questions front and centreThree points secured. Pressure maintained. Questions still lingering.The run-in tightens — and Arsenal stay in it.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(00:53) - Chelsea Win Context & Team News Reaction(01:13) - Line-Up Breakdown & Ødegaard Absence(03:32) - Stats of the Game, Early Rhythm & Open Midfield Debate(05:25) - Sánchez & Chelsea's Back Line(09:56) - 1–0 | Saliba Scores from Saka Corner(12:47) - 1–1 | Rice Penalty Debate & Equaliser(15:50) - Zubimendi Performance Discussion(22:31) - Second-Half Patterns & Martinelli Impact(23:35) - 2–1 | Timber Heads Home from a Corner(25:35) - Neto Red Card & Game Control Issues(29:40) - Rice Injury & “Only Ever Scoring from Set Pieces”(31:06) - 7 Passes vs 53: Late-Game Surrender, Disallowed Goal & Mighty Raya(35:16) - Did Chelsea Deserve a Penalty?

Schaut man sich die Stimmen in den sozialen Netzwerken an, nimmt man viele Presseberichte ernst, dann wird klar: Fans, Journalisten und auch Experten sind sich inzwischen einig: Die Zeit von FC Trainer Lukas Kwasniok ist abgelaufen oder wernigstens begrenzt. Immer seltener findet man Unterstützer des Kölner Trainers. Der Vize-Präsident des FC ist einer von ihnen, er stärkt dem Trainer den Rücken. Bekommt Kwasniok noch die Kurve, ist alles gut. Schafft er es nicht, werden schon jetzt weitreichendere Konsequenzen gefordert. Ein großes Thema in dieser Ausgabe: Das Topspiel des Wochenendes. Dortmund hat vieles gegeben, der FC Bayern hat jedoch klargemacht: Uns ist die Meisterschaft nicht mehr zu nehmen. Dazu: Die Kellerkinder gewinnen, und es könnte spannend in der Relegation werden.

Igor Tudor speaks after Spurs' loss to Fulham in the Premier League. He answers questions about relegation and says that Fulham's first goal should have been a foul. TIMESTAMPS0:00 intro 0:10 We need to forget this game and focus on training tomorrow 0:40 99/100 people would say that first goal is a foul. Last week it was a foul this week it's not. 1:08 The referee did not explain why it was a goal i was too nervous to ask him. You need to cancel the goal. When he pushes with his hands it's a foul. He was thinking how to cheat, it's cheating. 2:52 It's a complicated situation I can't tell you anthing new. What do you want to do with yourself, need more personality and more wish to do. We are lacking so many things. 3:46 I want to see everything more. 3:50 of course we have a confidence problems 4:05 It's not about systems, they aren't important at the moment. 4:20 I don't want to speak about relegation. 4:40 I meant small team in a positive way, the proteins are much bigger. 5:00 We need change. 5:30 The situation is complicated we know how many players are coming back.

Jack welcomes Con back to the show, and he is angry. After specifically requesting to come on purely to vent his frustrations, the pair pick through the rubble of another painful North London Derby defeat. With the dust having settled slightly on the 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Arsenal, we desperately try to see if there are any positives to take forward as Tottenham find themselves thoroughly entrenched in a relegation battle. We ask the big questions: do these players actually have the stomach for a scrap at the bottom of the table? Can this squad be trusted when the pressure is truly on? We also take a microscope to some of the individual performances on the day, and speculate on the uncomfortable truth: if the unthinkable happens and Spurs do go down, who will be the first players to jump ship?

Jack jumps on an impromptu call with Gazzetta dello Sport's Tommy Milanese to react to the breaking news that Igor Tudor is all but confirmed as Tottenham's new interim manager. We dig into Tudor's reputation in Italy to find out exactly what we are getting. Tommy gives the lowdown on his mixed spells with Lazio and Juventus (including that recent 8-game winless run), and we discuss whether his abrasive, high-intensity tactical style can actually blend with this specific group of players, or if it's a disaster waiting to happen. We also ask the big questions: will he be willing to incorporate the youth players Spurs are so reliant on? And crucially, is he the man to save us from the drop? Tommy also shares some fascinating insight into Fabio Paratici's reputation in Italy, and shares a brilliant anecdote about an impromptu lunch date with Jose Mourinho during his time working for the club.

Tottenham have sacked Thomas Frank, but will it actually change anything? In this episode we break down why the next Spurs manager could be walking into the same structural problems. From squad construction and midfield imbalance to the injury spiral and long-term strategy, this feels bigger than one coach. We discuss why Frank's expected “floor” never materialised, what Spurs are missing behind the scenes, and what kind of profile would realistically make sense next. There's also a wider conversation about injury crises in the Premier League, how clubs get stuck in doom loops, and whether squad building is the real preventative solution. Finally, we take a look at the La Liga title race. Why Barcelona might have the edge over Real Madrid, how style of play matters against low blocks, and what fixture congestion could mean in the run-in.

Jack welcomes Con back to the show to reflect upon the defeat at Old Trafford that pushes Spurs perilously close to the relegation zone. We ask the uncomfortable question: is this actually going to happen? Do we have enough about us to avoid the drop, or is the club sleepwalking into disaster? We discuss the failings of Thomas Frank, his system, his demeanour, and the uninspiring displays that seem to be dragging the club down. The conversation goes deep on Cristian Romero's red card. Was it a red? Is he refereed differently to other players due to media narratives? We also address the growing calls from some Spurs fans who label the vice-captain a "liability" and ask if they are right or simply buying into the external noise. We couldn't record this without talking about Mauricio Pochettino's appearance on the High Performance podcast, where he seemed to be fluttering his eyelashes at Tottenham once again. Is a return destiny, or just emotional wistful thinking when we need a proper strategy? Finally, we look ahead to Tuesday's crunch game against Newcastle at White Hart Lane, a match that feels like a must-win for both the manager and the club's survival hopes.
