Celtic edge Livingston in a nervy 2–1 at Celtic Park under Martin O'Neill, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain delivering a late moment of quality to settle it. James and Alan break down why the game felt tighter than the shot count suggests—Livingston's shifting approach (early pressure → deep block), Celtic's difficulty turning control into clear chances, and how set-piece chaos nearly stole the points. There's a deep dive on cross volume vs chance quality (cutbacks vs “hope” balls), what the match says about Celtic's current attacking identity, and a big worry: Arne Engels' injury and what it means for the midfield balance. The show closes by looking ahead to Kilmarnock at Rugby Park and scanning the wider Scottish Premiership title race through an xG/variance lens.Want to support the channel? - https://huddlebreakdown.comLike this video and want more content like it?

Arsenal leave West London with a point — but far more questions than answers.In this episode of The Non-Negotiables, we break down the 1–1 draw at Brentford and ask whether Arsenal are drifting away from the identity that made them so dominant. With Manchester City applying pressure in the title race, this was a night that demanded control. Instead, it became another conversation about long balls, lost fluency, and a worrying lack of sustained chance creation.We analyse the starting XI, the impact of key absences, and how the tactical approach shaped the first half. Is “Long Ball FC” becoming more than just frustration? Are Arsenal overthinking matches against teams they should be imposing themselves on? And what does this style shift say about the manager's current priorities?There's a deep dive into the Eberechi Eze debate — recruitment vs role — and whether he's being used in a way that suits his strengths. Then we unpack the second-half momentum swing: Odegaard's introduction, the return of familiar patterns, and Madueke's header that briefly felt like the breakthrough moment.But control evaporated. We examine the throw-in equaliser, the defensive lapses, and the concerning injury situation around Odegaard. Why was he left on? What did it cost Arsenal structurally? And how much did fatigue and squad rotation play into the late chaos?We close Part 1 with the bigger picture — xG, chance creation trends, and the uncomfortable truth about title-winning standards. Can you win a league without a 20-goal forward? And what actually is Arteta's football right now?Part 2 covers managerial sackings across the league, concerns around Ethan's loan situation, another controversial VAR weekend in MW26, and a look ahead to the FA Cup tie against Wigan — a potential reset moment before Wolves.The title race isn't over. But identity, control and attacking clarity now feel like the decisive battlegrounds.Set Piece FC rolls on — but can Arsenal rediscover themselves in time?Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(01:01) - Brentford Context, Starting XI Reaction & Injury Concerns(03:03) - Long Ball FC Returns(09:00) - Eberechi Eze Debate: Role or Recruitment Issue?(14:27) - Half-Time Shift: Odegaard Changes the Game(16:59) - 0–1 | Madueke's Header & Momentum(19:28) - Back to Long Balls & Control Lost(21:08) - 1–1 | Throw-In Chaos & Odegaard Injury Scare(24:25) - Why Was Odegaard Left On?(27:51) - Late Chances(31:05) - Stats, Chance Creation & Title-Winning Standards(33:12) - Identity Crisis: What Is Arteta's Football?(36:21) - PT.2 Managerial Sackings: Spurs & Forest(41:23) - Ethan Loan Concerns(45:17) - VARse MW26: Chelsea, City & Officiating Standards(51:55) - Wigan FA Cup Preview(01:00:27) - Final Thoughts: February, Injuries & Title Belief

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 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!

In this episode of The Huddle Breakdown Extra Time, we perform a deep forensic audit on Celtic's “fallen angel” transfer window, debating whether the signing of Alex Oxley-Chamberlain is a masterstroke of experience or a high-risk gamble on a player with a history of injuries. Alan unveils shocking new data revealing that Celtic's rolling xG differential has plummeted to its lowest point since records began—worse even than the 2020/21 season—raising urgent questions about the sustainability of Martin O'Neill's “Chaos Ball.” Finally, we preview the Scottish Cup clash against Dundee, analyzing how to break down the deepest low block in the league.

On this episode of the Huddle Breakdown, Laura, James and Alan unpack a net-zero Celtic transfer window built on loans and “rehab” profiles, then ask the bigger question: what is Celtic actually trying to do on the pitch right now? The conversation links recruitment to tactics as they break down the Scottish Premiership's shift toward higher pressing intensity, Celtic's growing tendency toward direct/chaos-ball, and what that means for chance creation, control, and the title race. Using rolling xG difference as the reality check, Alan explains why results are drifting away from performance trends, while James argues Celtic are “offloading agency” and living on variance. Finally, they preview a tricky trip to Aberdeen and why away fixtures may decide everything.Want to support the channel? - https://huddlebreakdown.comLike this video and want more content like it?

Is it once again Arsenal's to lose? On the latest edition of Caught Offside, Andrew and JJ wonder if Manchester City and Aston Villa have swung the title race fully back in Arsenal's favor. Why does Pep have such a hard time with Spurs? Did Dominic Solanke just win a Puskas? And have Villa's xG overperformances finally caught up with them? Then, we dive into Manchester United's dramatic win against Fulham and Casemiro's importance to the team - does his upcoming exit make the mission clear for United in the summer transfer window? And how about Chelsea coming from 2 down to beat West Ham? While Rosenior gets the praise, JJ suggests that it was actually Nuno's errors that allowed it to happen.For even more Caught Offside content, get on over to Caught Offside Plus right now!

Send us a textMost football traders assume Betfair has the goal markets nailed.The odds move. The clock ticks. The prices “must” be right.But that assumption is where most traders go wrong.In this episode, I break down how Betfair actually prices goals, why time decay plays a bigger role than real match pressure, and where the market consistently lags behind what's happening on the pitch.You'll learn:How goal prices are really formed pre-match and in-playWhy 0–0 scorelines often create false valueHow pressure, xG, and big chances expose mispriced marketsWhy profitable traders bet against bad pricing, not outcomesThis is essential viewing if you trade:Over goals marketsLay the DrawLate goal strategiesAnd if you want to stop guessing and start trading with evidence, I'll also show you how to use data to turn these ideas into a repeatable edge.Support the showTwitter: @BetfairTCWebsite: https://betfairtradingcommunity.com/en/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/betfairtradingcommunity

Patrick and Neel break down the Premier League striker market, starting with Crystal Palace's move for Jürgen Strand Larsen and what it says about how clubs are valuing centre-forwards right now. We also get into Bournemouth's big bet on Brazilian teenager Rayan, why his profile fits the current state of the league, and whether these physical, shot-heavy forwards are the future or a temporary trend. Then it's full chaos in the Champions League. Benfica stun Real Madrid, PSG and Newcastle trade blows, and the final day of the league phase turns the table upside down. We look at who benefited, who got burned, what the new knockout bracket means, and who are the real threats for the UCL title.

Humbled at Home: Manchester United End Arsenal's Emirates League RunA sobering afternoon at the Emirates sees Arsenal suffer their first league defeat at home to Manchester United, cutting the title gap and raising uncomfortable questions about control, mentality, and attacking identity.In Part One, the conversation begins with the wider title context — pressure at the top of the table, selection choices, and Arsenal's early dominance — before unpicking how a game that felt controlled for long spells slipped away. The discussion explores structural issues in possession, the balance at full-back, recurring midfield problems, and the moments that shifted momentum against Arsenal.Attention then turns to mentality: from the atmosphere inside the stadium to the team's response once the game turned. There's a deeper look at Arteta's in-game management, familiar substitution patterns, and whether Arsenal's current structure is limiting their attacking threat. Questions are raised around midfield chemistry, the striker role, and whether the 4-3-3 is still serving this side at the business end of the season.Part Two shifts focus to brighter notes and the wider football landscape. There's reaction to Ethan Nwaneri's impressive start on loan at Marseille, what the move could mean for his development, and why this loan feels different to others Arsenal have managed in the past. The episode also features a full Whip Around the Grounds from Premier League Matchweek 23, before closing with a preview of Arsenal's upcoming Champions League fixture against Kairat Almaty and discussion around rotation, squad management, and the challenges ahead.A reflective, honest episode at a critical point in the season.Chapters:(00:00) – Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(01:09) – Table Pressure, Title Context & Starting XI Breakdown(02:28) – Hincapié at Left-Back & Selection Trade-Offs(04:42) – Match Shape(06:03) – 1-0 | Own Goal Advantage After Early Dominance(07:19) – Structural Issues: Timber in the Box & Attacking Balance(09:48) – 1-1 | Zubimendi Error, Sloppiness & Momentum Swing(11:28) – 1-2 | Second-Half Collapse & Dorgu Worldie(12:59) – 2-2 | Set-Piece FC Strikes Again(13:38) – 2-3 | Cunha Screamer… Game Slips Away(15:08) – Emirates Atmosphere, Fan Nerves & Mentality Debate(18:50) – Arteta, Substitutions & Tactical Inflexibility(21:35) – Midfield Identity Crisis?(24:03) – Striker Problem?(26:45) – Is the 4-3-3 Dead?

Dave Davis is joined by David Lynch to dissect another deeply worrying Liverpool performance, this time away at Bournemouth. With dominant possession but almost no attacking clarity, Liverpool once again fall short where it matters most. The discussion focuses on a familiar pattern: sterile control, defensive fragility, and a complete lack of structure in the final third. Lynch breaks down the underlying numbers, from chance quality to XG disparity, and explains why the result was not unfortunate, but fully deserved. As Liverpool sink further into poor form, questions begin to mount about tactical direction, player confidence, and whether this side is regressing in plain sight. Learn more about your ad choices.

On today's episode of The Transfer Flow, Patrick and Ted break down the final week of the January transfer window and the stories shaping the run-in. We start with Spurs' move for Andy Robertson and whether a 31-year-old fullback on a long contract makes sense for a team still searching for stability. Then we turn to the market's biggest forward as Arsenal and Barcelona chase Julián Álvarez, asking if he's worth a nine-figure fee and if he's the striker Arsenal need. From there we unpack Manchester United's win over Arsenal, looking at Arteta's tactical choices, slow restarts, and growing physical strain, plus how United's press and long-range shooting swung a title race that suddenly feels tighter. We then move to Aston Villa under Unai Emery, questioning whether their long-range goal spree is a genuine tactical edge or a hot streak, what it means for expected goals, and how the modern striker role is evolving as more teams build attacks around creating space for midfield shooters.

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.

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?

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.
