AS Roma aren't slowing down! Hot on the heels of signing Robinio Vaz, the Giallorossi have bolstered their attack again by bringing in Dutch speedster Donyell Malen from Aston Villa. In this episode, we break down the clever £27 million "loan-to-buy" structure of the deal and why Malen's technical skill and explosive pace make him a perfect fit for Serie A. We look back at his "Player of the Month" peak in the Premier League, his impressive 0.61 xG per 90 stats, and how his versatility could be the secret weapon Roma needs to secure a return to the Champions League. Is Malen the final piece of the puzzle for Roma's silverware ambitions? AS Roma, Donyell Malen, Serie A Transfer News, Aston Villa, Football Analysis.

Episode 163 – Missing In The ForestArsenal leave the City Ground with a point, but not without frustration. In this episode of The Non-Negotiables Podcast, the panel break down a goalless draw that felt defined by control, territory, and chances that never quite turned into goals.The conversation begins with Mikel Arteta's selection choices, rotation decisions, and how Arsenal approached a Nottingham Forest side set up to sit deep and limit space. From there, attention turns to the pattern of the game itself — early pressure, sustained dominance, and a growing sense that the first goal was becoming increasingly important.Missed chances become the central theme, with detailed discussion around key moments in both halves, decision-making in the final third, and whether Arsenal's attacking structure is giving the right players the right types of opportunities. The panel also assess individual performances, physical match-ups, and how certain moments shaped the rhythm and confidence of the side.Focus then shifts to the midfield balance, exploring the roles of Rice, Ødegaard, and Zubimendi, and whether Arsenal's current setup is providing enough fluency, control, and threat against low-block opponents. There's also reflection on substitutions, game management, and how fine margins can quietly define results like this.Beyond the Forest match, the episode widens out to the bigger picture — Arsenal's scoring output, historic context around title-winning teams, and what separates very good sides from truly elite ones. Despite the frustration on the night, rival results mean Arsenal extend their advantage at the top of the Premier League, prompting a broader discussion about mentality, pressure, and navigating a title race.Part two features a full Whip Around the Grounds from Matchweek 22, VAR decisions that dominated the weekend, and a look ahead to Arsenal's upcoming Champions League trip to Inter Milan, including selection questions and fitness considerations.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(00:51) - Nottingham Forest Setup, Rotation & Selection Debate(02:42) - Missed Chances Theme & Early Frustration(04:17) - Zubimendi Decision-Making & Wasteful Moments(06:11) - Gyökeres vs Murillo & Physical Limits(08:50) - Second-Half Pressure & Rice's Poor Contact Volley(09:54) - Saka Header & Goalkeeper Save(10:37) - Set-Piece Chances & Merino Blocking Gabriel(11:39) - Handball Shout, VAR Frustration & Perspective(13:21) - Arteta Substitutions & Game Management(16:48) - Midfield Balance, System Issues & Tactical Fit(20:30) - Ødegaard Form, Captaincy & Physical Games(25:42) - Rice vs Ødegaard Axis & Structural Questions(28:11) - Eze Debate & Timber at Left-Back(29:18) - Arsenal's Scoring Problem & Historic Context(30:46) - Top-End Talent Debate & Title Ceiling(32:20) - Mentality vs Margins Discussion(37:08) - The Champions Difference & Elite Match Winners(39:34) - Recruitment Philosophy & Building Champions(41:41) - Match Stats, xG & Defensive Control(43:26) - Part Two Intro & Zinchenko Joins Ajax(45:15) - Whip Around the Grounds – Matchweek 22(52:42) - VARse: Manchester Derby, Anfield & North London(01:00:26) - Studio Debate & Weekend Fallout(01:01:01) - Champions League Context & Inter Milan Preview(01:05:29) - Havertz Fitness, Rotation & Forward Options(01:10:50) - Closing Thoughts

Matchday 20 proved why we love LaLiga: drama, surprises and competitiveness. Matt Clark (@MattClark_08) and Román De Arquer (@Aeroslavee) review a terrific weekend. A tumultuous week for Real Madrid ended positively. After the Bernabéu crowd made their discontented feelings vociferously known on Saturday lunchtime, Los Blancos laboured to a rather uncomfortable 2-0 win over lowly Levante for Álvaro Arbeloa's first win in charge. After fielding questions about “Florentino dimisión” chants, the boss angered fans further by staunchly defending his President, claiming those who want Pérez to resign aren't genuine Madridistas. This victory put pressure on Barcelona, who lined up without Raphinha and lost their winning run. La Real continued their incredible – albeit fortuitous – start under Pellegrino Matarazzo after beating Barça 2-1 through a combination of goalkeeping excellence, luck and tight VAR calls. Just 60 seconds after Marcus Rashford had equalised, Gonçalo Guedes restored their lead. Despite accumulating over 3.5 xG and 25 shots (including five to the woodwork), there was no way past Álex Remiro, who reminded everyone why he is a worthy member of Luis de la Fuente's triumvirate. The gap at the top is now just a solitary point. ¡¡¡Hay Liga!!!Real Betis beat Villarreal to take a big step towards European football next season, but we ask why there is still some dissatisfaction among the fanbase. On Friday night, Girona continued their incredible resurgence by beating Espanyol in a Catalan derby, courtesy of two Vanat penalties. Los Pericos have had a rough start to the year, but are still well placed.Onto Part Two, we focus on the compactness of the table from 8th down to 18th. Real Sociedad are ten places above Alavés, but only five points clear of their fellow Basques.Mallorca took a huge step forward by winning a thriller against Athletic Club. Jagoba Arrasate will be thanking his giant Kosovan Vedat Muriqi who scored a hat-trick to tame Los Leones. Only Kylian Mbappé has scored more this season, and Muriqi is priceless for the island side. Three goals and three precious points. We reflect on that as well as Athletic's malaise. With a crucial set of fixtures ahead, is this Ernesto Valverde's last season in charge? Osasuna won by the same scoreline but in even more dramatic fashion. Trailing twice to Real Oviedo, it seemed like the Asturian side might finally get their win. But alas, Ante Budimir equalised twice and then Víctor Muñoz broke hearts with a 92nd-minute winner. Even when they score twice, they can't even draw, let alone win.Rayo are another club looking over their shoulder after they were well beaten by Euro-chasing Celta. They won their third in a row to cement 7th spot and put pressure on those above them.Valencia stunned the Coliseum with a late, well-constructed winner with their only shot on target of the game. Getafe are in freefall now, with just one point since the end of November. Alavés made it hard for Atleti, but ultimately came away from the capital with nothing, and they slipped into the drop zone. But, given the tightness of the table, things can change extremely quickly. A relegation battle for the ages is in prospect.You can keep up to date with all our content at lllonline.substack.com.

Arsenal and Liverpool cancel each other out in a game that never truly ignites — and the discussion turns quickly from the result to what it reveals.In Episode 160, the panel breaks down a flat Emirates stalemate that raises familiar questions: control without incision, deep blocks at home, and whether Arsenal's attacking options genuinely fit the challenges they face week to week. There's a frank debate on centre-forward profiles, the Havertz situation, and whether Arteta is still searching for internal solutions rather than answers in the market.We also dive into VARse, with a busy midweek of controversial decisions across the league, before switching gears for a lighter second half — including a bonus FA Cup Who Am I?, a Six Pack of classic Arsenal cup ties, predictions, and a look ahead to the third-round trip to Portsmouth.A strange night, a calm league position, and bigger questions bubbling underneath.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(00:52) - Immediate Reaction: Frustration, Context & Expectations(01:32) - Starting XI, Game Shape & Deep-Block Reality(04:38) - Match Stats: Possession, xG & Why It Felt So Flat(05:59) - Are Arsenal Too Easy to Set Against at Home?(08:04) - Gyökeres Fit vs System Fit(11:26) - Top-End Talent Debate: Attack vs Defence(13:09) - Raya, Gabriel, Rice & What “Elite” Actually Means(16:05) - Key Moments: Liverpool Bar Chance & Errors(18:04) - Martinelli, Bradley & Game Management(19:17) - Refereeing Frustrations & Game Flow(20:32) - Set-Pieces, Trauma & Anfield Parallels(22:05) - Table Context: No Harm, No Foul?(23:04) - Havertz Fitness & Centre-Forward Uncertainty(26:39) - Arteta, Midfield Balance & Internal Solutions(31:25) - PT.2 Who Am I?

The NN Pod breaks down Arsenal's win away on the south coast as Mikel Arteta's side navigate a difficult afternoon at Bournemouth and keep momentum building ahead of Liverpool's visit to the Emirates.We begin with a deep dive into a disjointed first half — why Arsenal struggled for control, how Bournemouth disrupted rhythm, and where structure and decision-making fell short. The conversation then shifts to the second-half response, with Declan Rice's authority, aggression, and brace central to Arsenal regaining control and getting the job done.Key discussion points include:Why Arsenal played into Bournemouth's hands earlyRice's leadership, mentality, and growing influence in defining gamesGabriel's error and instant redemptionMidfield balance, pressing, and second-half adjustmentsFrom there, we move into Whip Around the Grounds (WATG), covering the weekend's Premier League action — including Liverpool, Manchester City, Spurs, Aston Villa, and the wider title-race context.Next up is VARse, breaking down refereeing and VAR flashpoints from across the league, including major incidents at Brentford vs Spurs and Fulham vs Liverpool, alongside a wider discussion on offside decisions, consistency, and the state of VAR.The episode also steps away from the pitch to discuss:Ruben Amorim's Manchester United exit and the wider managerial churnEdu, Nottingham Forest, and reassessing narratives around recruitment and influenceWe wrap up with:The Who Am I? (Game)A Liverpool preview, looking ahead to a pivotal night at the Emirates — mindset, tactics, and what Arsenal must get rightAnother three points secured.

Henderson vs Janelt, Thiago vs Wissa & Beating Spurs | Beyond the BreakdownThe Brentford Tactical and Statistical LowdownJacob The Gowler Gowler and Matt The Allard Allard dive deep into Brentford's recent performances and what they reveal about where the Bees really are right nowThe podcast kicks off with a Wolves and Bournemouth double-header, focusing on the re-shaped midfield. How did Brentford generate such a high level of xG, and is the rising xGA something to genuinely worry about or simply a by-product of how the games unfolded?There's a proper debate on whether the Bees actually look better without Jordan Henderson, backed up by a Janelt vs Henderson stats comparison. The numbers come out again as Thiago and Wissa go head-to-head in a detailed performance analysisLooking ahead, the lads preview Tottenham, including a tactical theory on how to beat Thomas Frank's evolving hybrid press, before rounding things off with previews of Everton and SunderlandStats, tactics and plenty to chew over — this one's for the nerds and the terrace philosophers.

Arsenal return to the top of the Premier League after a 2–1 win over Brighton, but the performance once again raises familiar questions. The Gunners dominate large spells at the Emirates — racking up 2.8 xG, 24 shots and total territorial control — only to let the game drift into nervous territory late on, with David Raya forced into a crucial save to preserve the win.We break down a first half that should have put the game out of sight, including missed chances for Bukayo Saka and ongoing concerns around Arsenal's finishing. Martin Ødegaard scores his first goal of the season in trademark fashion, while Declan Rice adapts to an unfamiliar role and Arsenal's structure continues to generate chances without the ruthless edge to kill games.The second half sees a worrying 15-minute spell where Arsenal retreat, stop engaging high up the pitch, and invite Brighton back into the contest. We discuss Raya's intervention, the defensive adjustments that followed, and whether this “control then retreat” pattern is becoming a recurring issue.There's also frustration with refereeing decisions, including a controversial challenge on the goalkeeper and VAR inconsistencies across the weekend. We cover all the major talking points from Gameweek 17 in Whip Around the Grounds, with results from Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Aston Villa and more.In VARse, we analyse key officiating decisions from Old Trafford, the City Ground and Stamford Bridge, ranking what was contentious, what was ridiculous, and where the laws continue to be applied inconsistently.Finally, we look ahead to Arsenal vs Aston Villa. With Villa winning games while being outshot and outperforming their xG, and Arsenal struggling to convert dominance into comfort, we assess the tactical battle, injury concerns, likely line-ups, and what Mikel Arteta must get right this time around.Chapters:(00:00) – Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(01:40) – #ARSBHA Pre-Match, Injuries & the Return of Big Gabi(03:18) – Starting XI: Rice at Right Back?(04:52) – Stats, Arsenal Domination & Missed Early Chances(07:45) – Saka Shooting Volume vs End Product(12:12) – Ødegaard's First Goal of the Season(15:32) – Chances, xG and Why This Game Should've Been Dead(18:18) – Referee & Goalkeeper Challenge Controversy(21:42) – Second-Half Control & Set-Piece Pressure(24:42) – Brighton Goal: Freak Moment or Structural Issue?(27:26) – Fifteen-Minute Retreat & Loss of Engagement(28:06) – Raya's Match-Saving Intervention(30:02) – Martinelli's Impact, Late Chances & Full-Time Reflection(34:34) – Big Takeaways from the Brighton Win(38:37) – PT.2: Who Am I?

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Mark Ogden, John Cross and Jason Burt to reflect on the weekend's sporting action.We start with Arsenal's hard-fought 2-1 victory over Brighton, sealed by a stunning David Raya save, that kept them top of the league. But are Arsenal beginning to feel the pressure?The focus then shifts to The Ashes, where England finally claimed a Test win in Australia—but John believes it was a hollow victory played out on a dreadful pitch.Next up is Aston Villa's superb run of eleven consecutive wins. A 2–1 victory at Stamford Bridge has moved them to within three points of league leaders Arsenal—but with Unai Emery's side consistently outperforming their xG, can they keep this run going?Finally, we turn to Liverpool's 2–1 victory over bottom-of-the-table Wolves. With his first league goal of the season, we ask: has the real Florian Wirtz arrived in the Premier League?Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

Arsenal are through to the Carabao Cup semi-finals — but it didn't come easily.In this episode of The Non-Negotiables Podcast, we react immediately to Arsenal's penalty shoot-out win over Crystal Palace at the Emirates. A dominant first half, 25 shots, and complete territorial control somehow gave way to a familiar story: missed chances, second-half drop-off, and another late twist that forced penalties.We break down why Arsenal failed to put the game to bed, the ongoing concern around underperforming xG, and how control slipped after the break.

Jack and Cal break down Manchester City 3-0 West Ham, discussing a sobering afternoon in the Premier League following another defeat for Nuno's side and Leeds getting a surprise win against Crystal Palace at Elland Road. They dissect all the goals from the Etihad, talking the individual errors and tactical lapses that led to Erling Haaland's brace and Tijjani Reijnders' strike, questioning why the Hammers got exposed and why the substitutions failed to turn the tide. Jack and Cal also debate the 4-3-3 shape, whether it's time to flatten the midfield to provide better defensive width and the lack of support Oliver Scarles upon his return against Rayan Cherki. They also take at Crysencio Summerville and Freddie Potts impact and performances before finishing with a look at the chronic lack of xG creation. With all the goal-scoring pressure on Bowen and questions mounting over bench usage and the absence of younger talents, they ask the big question: how do you fix West Ham?

In this Live Christmas Special of The Huddle Breakdown, we react immediately to Wilfried Nancy's vital first victory against Aberdeen, dissecting whether the "mass hysteria" surrounding the club has finally lifted. James and Alan provide a granular tactical analysis of Nancy's evolving system—breaking down the controversial 5-3-2 defensive shape and why players like Yang and Maeda are flourishing in new roles. We also confront the glaring striker crisis following Johnny Kenny's "wacky" xG nightmare, debate the urgent January transfer needs, and preview the upcoming stress test against Livingston.

The Reds have won 3 of those 6, 2 draws and a weird defeat against PSV at Anfield.Part One - The GoodUnbeaten in 5 - last 2 games particularly, although signs through the last 5 where we are very much set up to be more solid:Lots of bright spots against Brighton - first game where we've lost the xG since Palace away, although so many almost moments. Good rhythm and energy.At least 3 chances from Salah passes that didn't quite materialize.Ekitike - could have had 5. Jones, Gravenberch, Szobo all influential.Inter away - really solid performance - Rafa!! The obsession with Wirtz and our penalty…West Ham, Sunderland and Leeds - many good points.Part Two - the bad and the ugly:Giving up goals at Leeds - Ibou! Sunderland - shitball and the difficulty of the breaks in play, time wasting and the soft fouls against us. City reaped the benefit, they were knackered at the end of that match.PSV - the ultimate, everything they hit went in.Part three - overview and preview to come:Salah, ‘the lost dressing room'Ibou and the image of the James Milner ‘20' shirtFlorian Wirtz, Alexander Isak and Milos KerkezWe will be back later this week - with an overview and some previews.

Villa go behind. Again. Villa wobble. Again. Villa win. Again.This post-mortem from the London Stadium digs into a game that should have been a banana skin and nearly was. West Ham had momentum, Jarrod Bowen was running the show, Villa looked leggy after Europe and yet somehow, once noses were in front, the door slammed shut.We get forensic on the turning point. Digne on, Bowen gone. Control reclaimed. Emery-ball reasserted.There's a brutal assessment of the first half, Watkins dithering when the game was there to be killed, and why Villa are still making life harder than it needs to be. We also take aim at the growing xG moral panic and the uncomfortable truth that winning efficiently is now being treated as a flaw.Nine wins on the bounce. Three times conceding inside ten minutes. Still perfect after European Thursdays.Villa are not clicking. That should worry everyone else.

Tom White and Charlie Austin discuss the chaotic 4–4 draw at Old Trafford as Manchester United hosted Bournemouth on a blockbuster Monday Night Football. Was it the game of the season so far? Charlie highlights the defensive vulnerability of Amorim's side.We're joined by Manchester United content creator KG to discuss just how clutch Bruno Fernandes has been, as well as the situation surrounding Kobbie Mainoo, after his half-brother Jordan was photographed wearing a “Free Kobbie Mainoo” T-shirt.Next, we turn to Enzo Maresca's situation at Chelsea following a surprise cryptic statement at the weekend, when he said it had been “the worst 48 hours” since he took charge. Charlie feels the comments were directed at the owners, not the players — but does Maresca still have enough credit in the bank, or is the pressure already building for him at Chelsea? Darren from the Chelsea view says he's won two trophies and has a young side, which is improving all the time.Finally, we ask whether Aston Villa deserve to be third, examining Unai Emery's side and their remarkable overperformance of xG. Charlie labels xG a “nonsense stat,” while Villa fan Justin joins us to argue that Villa can sustain this form consistently, despite the numbers suggesting they should be lower in the table. Watch us live, Monday to Friday, 10am until Midday on Sky Sports News or listen to the podcast as soon as we come off air. To get involved you can send a voice note or message via WhatsApp to 07514 917075.For advertising opportunities email: skysportspodcasts@sky.uk.

The week came at us sideways: calendars out of sync, tours on the brink, and one of the bravest artist statements we've seen in years. We start with that universal fog after Thanksgiving, the kind that makes you write November in December, and use it as a lens for how timing shapes fandom—planning travel, stacking budgets, and riding the emotional wave of yes… or maybe not.Then we get real about touring. MIYAVI's North America cancellation stings, but the message lands: logistics, economics, sustainability. No vague “unforeseen circumstances,” just the hard truth that keeps a door open for future shows. On the other side, KARD's promoter does what every fan hopes for—confirms passports and US work visas are fully approved. That kind of proactive clarity flips anxiety into excitement, especially when ticket fees and refund gaps have already drained trust. We dig into why fees balloon, how scaling venues too fast backfires, and what fairer practices could look like for fans who bet big on travel.The conversation shifts with MONSTA X's I.M preparing for enlistment while managing back pain, meaning he'll sit out overseas activities and the 2026 tour. It's a reminder that health and duty set the frame for global schedules—and that honest timelines help fans show up with patience instead of surprise. We also unpack the STARTO year-end lineup that leaves out a few major names and raises questions about strategy, conflicts, and expectations around legacy shows.Our most powerful moment arrives with XG's Cocona coming out as transmasculine, non-binary and sharing they had top surgery. The post is thoughtful, proud, and supported by family and members. We talk about what this means for J-pop and idol culture, why representation matters, and how fans can adjust language with care. When artists tell the truth—about identity, about logistics—the relationship gets stronger. That's the throughline: clarity, respect, and the courage to say what's real.If you felt the highs and lows of live music this year—worrying about another cancellation, cheering a green light, or celebrating someone living boldly—this one's for you.

We're joined by journalist Tom Barclay for a look behind the curtain. We start with Mo Salah's explosive mix zone interview, the panicking Liverpool press officer and what life is really like in those corridors after full time. Then it's Spurs: Vicario getting booed, Thomas Frank calling out “true Tottenham fans”, the tension around performances and why supporters still crave moments and vibes as much as XG. We finish on Brentford, Xavi Simons, Spurs' search for a left winger, January rumours and a quick plug for Tom's Spurs book Miracle in Bilbao. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week's My Old Man Said podcast opens with the Lovers Walk Unlimited Orchestra summing up the Villa week in song, before the show dives straight into the fallout from a chaotic few days. From David's Dublin airport delay courtesy of Zelensky, to a Brighton game that veered from disaster to delirium, it has been peak Villa in every imaginable way.The show pulls apart the Brighton match first. Emery's rage in the dugout. A tactical plan that looked too respectful. A comeback powered by firepower off the bench. Questions about the squad answered by Onana bullying back posts, Watkins waking up again and Marlon emerging as a genuine asset. Emery's long-range revolution gets dissected too. The pundits are baffled, the xG merchants are twitching, but Villa are simply doing what good teams do. Take the right shot when it is on.From there the episode moves into the Arsenal preview. A match that could tilt the entire narrative of the season. Beat Arsenal and suddenly the door creaks open to something bigger. As MOMS say, the T-word is banned until further notice, but the implications are impossible to ignore.There is also Villa News: Barkley's injury setback, Martinez disappearing again in the warm-up, Young Boys away-end arrests, merch-line overload and the progress of the North Stand redevelopment. Emery's Clipboard returns with a forensic look at Martinez's numbers, Bizot's impact, and how fine margins in goalkeeping shape the entire season. The Villa Engine gets a nod with the under-18s hammering Fulham.Then there is the bigger picture. The Football Supporters' Association “Stop Exploiting Loyalty” campaign gains parliamentary backing. BBC research highlights the rise of abusive posts aimed at managers. And Juan Sebastián Verón gets banned for refusing a guard of honour in Argentina.It is a sprawling, funny, chaotic and insight-packed episode that captures Villa's strange reality this season. Emery's side are grinding, exploding, wobbling and rising again, often in the space of a single match. And as the show suggests, if Villa beat Arsenal, things might get very interesting indeed.A proper bumper edition. Listen. Strap in. And avoid airports whenever world leaders land.UTVGET AD-FREE SHOWS and JOIN MATCH CLUBGet ad-free shows and extra shows, and join My Old Man Said's 24/7 Villa community, Match Club.For more details and to become a member, click here: Become a MOMS MemberJoin the show's listener facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid Chris Budd - @BUDD_musicPhillip Shaw - @prsgameMy Old Man Said - https://www.myoldmansaid.comThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.

The trio analyse Liverpool's standout individual performances in the West Ham victory, starting with the physical data that revealed a slow, low-intensity match. With less pressure on the ball, Florian Wirtz produced his most composed Premier League display, and the panel explore how touch maps, expected passing and xG build-up highlight his growing influence. Si and Hamzah explain why structure and tempo are key to unlocking Wirtz consistently. Attention then turns to Alexander Isak, whose first-half struggles contrasted sharply with a stunning match-winning finish. The group debate his fitness, movement, sharpness and his resemblance to classic penalty-box strikers like Fowler and Lineker. A sharp and honest look at two players who could define Liverpool's direction this season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Aston Villa return from a Europa League win against Young Boys with plenty to argue about. The xG police have spent the week sounding alarms, but MOMS explains why the conversation around underperformance is nonsense. Villa are evolving, not chancing their luck. Emery has shifted his side toward controlled mid-range and long-range shooting patterns, and the data heads have not caught up yet.The episode also looks back at the Young Boys win and the question the habit of Villa looking a little foggy after European nights. With two-point Wolves up next, it is exactly the fixture that can trip a team that has not fully reset. There is talk of a lack of sharpness, with Ollie Watkins needing a spark and the reality of winter football when injuries and workload begin to stack.Along the way the show looks at Premier League's new Squad Cost Ratio idea, the odd decisions coming out of Sky's TikTok department and Ronaldo's mystery discount ban. It is the new format of the show, built around more stories, more football insight and more of the MOMS irreverence that cuts through the noise.UTVGET AD-FREE SHOWS and JOIN MATCH CLUBGet ad-free shows and extra shows, and join My Old Man Said's 24/7 Villa community, Match Club.For more details and to become a member, click here: Become a MOMS MemberJoin the show's listener facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid Chris Budd - @BUDD_musicPhillip Shaw - @prsgameMy Old Man Said - https://www.myoldmansaid.comThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.

Pre-match press conference with Liverpool manager Arne Slot ahead of West Ham v Liverpool in the Premier League at London Stadium. Slot discusses recent form, confidence and the pressure around the squad after a difficult run of results. He says the support from Richard Hughes and the ownership has been consistent since he arrived, insists there is no frustration with his players, and explains why the team must keep fighting together in challenging moments. Slot talks about reflecting on decisions after defeats, the importance of rewarding good phases of play, and how individual errors have been punished recently. He provides updates on Alisson, Florian and Hugo, with Alisson expected to be available and Florian close to returning to full training. Slot praises Nuno Espirito Santo's impact at West Ham and the difficulty of facing them in their current form. He also speaks about XG, missed chances, Curtis Jones' passionate interview, restoring confidence, player messaging, and how team spirit must remain strong throughout.

In this week's Huddle Breakdown, Laura, James and Alan dissect Celtic's grim 1–0 win over St Mirren — a result that delivered three points but one of the worst performances in recent memory. They break down why the match was “putrid,” how Celtic's attacking structure collapsed, the alarming XG and final-third data behind the display, and whether the squad is now systemically broken heading into a brutal December run with Feyenoord in Europe and Hibs away. The panel also discuss the fallout from the AGM, pressure on the board, and the shifting dynamics of the SPFL title race.Want to support the channel? - https://huddlebreakdown.comLike this video and want more content like it?

We try to process that 4 1 at the Emirates, from Thomas Frank's five at the back and 0.01 xG to what it says about where Spurs are right now. We talk about chance creation, the players having to live in a low block, whether Frank really understands the North London derby, and what has to change before PSG and Fulham. There is some Radiohead chat, Steve Nash listening in, half and half scarf crimes and the usual coping mechanisms along the way. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
