Dave’s checked in from a hotel room in Thailand, Paul’s back in Sydney, and Adam’s holding the fort as the boys go remote for a holiday special that still couldn’t miss this week of Premier League drama.

Manchester United hit reset again as Ruben Amorim walks, and the lads get stuck into what it says about the club’s leadership, recruitment, and the never-ending “project” that keeps going nowhere. Then it’s over to Chelsea, where Enzo Maresca’s exit sparks a proper Paul rant, Dave fires back with the “transfer factory” theory, and the debate turns to medical departments, sporting directors, and whether managers even run clubs anymore.

It’s shorter, sharper, and slightly more unhinged than usual. Just how we like it.

The boys are back for a slightly chaotic end of year episode, recorded on 30 December, complete with travel chat, audio gremlins, and the revelation that Paul still gets his siblings to put his contact lenses in.

On the pitch, it’s a proper Premier League therapy session: Chelsea’s 2–1 loss to Aston Villa sparks a deep dive into Maresca, substitutions, and why the Blues keep coughing up leads at Stamford Bridge, even after $1.5b in spending. Villa, meanwhile, get their flowers as a legit contender, with Emery’s in game tweaks held up as the gold standard.

Then Arsenal cop it for winning without convincing anyone, “own goals” doing the heavy lifting, and the looming question of whether City are creeping back into the title picture. Liverpool’s form gets a look too, especially the second half nerves.

To finish, Palace’s slide, Glasner’s future, United’s weird season, Pep’s camera moment, and a listener question that turns into a full blown debate: If you could pick any manager for Chelsea right now, who is it and why?

Happy New Year, see you in 2026.

This week, it’s officially “Oh dear”.

Arsenal scrape past Wolves and Dave throws the big question on the table: is winning ugly the mark of champions, or the start of a wobble? Paul admits it’s the first time he’s doubted Arsenal all season, City look ominous again, and Villa’s run is starting to feel very real.

From Chelsea’s routine win and Maresca’s cryptic meltdown, to Liverpool’s “beat the giants, lose to anyone” season, Spurs’ identity crisis, and a chat about why modern football has lost its proper villains.

Plus Pokémon cards worth ridiculous money, pronunciation lessons, and a closing take that sparks instant chaos.

Episode 11 dives straight into the madness surrounding Mohamed Salah, his explosive interview, his feud with Arne Slot, and why Liverpool suddenly look like a club at war with itself. Dave breaks down the fallout from Salah’s outburst, what it means for his legacy, and whether this situation is even recoverable.

Paul swings hard at Jamie Carragher after an eight minute monologue on Monday Night Football, questioning why Liverpool’s club legend added fuel to the fire. The boys also unpack Chelsea’s title race illusion, Maresca’s endless rotation, Arsenal slipping, Aston Villa rising, and whether the Premier League’s quality is improving or falling off a cliff.

There is heated debate, elite pettiness, shocking levels of delusion, and at least one intervention required for Paul’s obsession with pundits.

If you love football chaos, this episode has it all.

In Episode 10, Dave, Paul and Adam celebrate making it to double digits by diving headfirst into one of their wildest debates yet. From Gerrard’s infamous slip to the pressure of defining moments in football history, the boys unpack the moments players never live down.

Chelsea’s gritty 1-1 draw with Arsenal lights up the conversation as Paul launches into an all-timer rant about consistency, red cards, Crystal Palace, and the unwritten rules of being a “real” football fan in Australia.

Dave dissects Liverpool’s much-needed win over West Ham, questions whether Salah needs a reset, and looks ahead nervously to a tricky clash with Sunderland. Spurs get scorched, Newcastle get praised, managers get judged, and Paul’s voice notes in Barangaroo are exposed to the world.

The episode wraps with fan questions covering Rice vs Caicedo, Brazilian Premier League greats and fantasy football advice the boys openly admit no one should trust.

Another chaotic, passionate, laugh-filled episode that proves somehow, some way, the lads have survived 10 episodes without killing each other.

Liverpool are in freefall and Dave is not coping. Everton, Forest and every club in the league are taking turns pulling his team’s pants down and Paul is loving every second of it. The boys dig into Liverpool’s slump, Arne Slot’s future, Salah’s silence, and why being a football fan is basically a life of misery sprinkled with very short bursts of joy.

Chelsea’s sudden rise, Arsenal’s dominance, Tottenham’s chaos under Thomas Frank, Newcastle’s unpredictability, City’s wobble without Haaland scoring, and the wild Premier League table all get a run. Paul explains why Spurs ruined everything by sacking Ange, Dave debates how long you are allowed to enjoy a trophy, and Adam tries to keep the whole circus under control.

Across the episode the lads swing between serious analysis and pure nonsense, questioning loyalty, patience, expectations and whether following football actually makes anyone happy at all.

Paul opens the show by almost quitting before admitting this podcast is the best thing in his life, and from there it’s pure chaos. Dave, Paul and Adam dive straight into Liverpool’s battering at the hands of Manchester City, with Dave clinging to xG and disallowed goals while Paul dishes out a brutal “spanked, decked, men versus boys” verdict.

They debate whether Slot’s Reds are broken, discuss Arsenal’s unexpected stumble against Sunderland and the mystery of the moved advertising boards, and question if Manchester United have truly turned a corner after another mixed performance. Spurs’ inconsistency and Richarlison’s shirtless celebrations also get a roasting.

It all wraps up with Paul confidently declaring Chelsea’s “quad is on”, and Dave reluctantly agreeing just to make sure the jinx sticks.
