New episode of Factor 50 Football Podcast is out

It finally happened… Michael Carrick gets the keys at Manchester United.

We break down:

• What Carrick as interim actually means for United
• Whether this is calm before the storm or just more chaos
• And if anyone genuinely knows what the long-term plan is (spoiler: probably not)

We also get into:

• Multi-club ownership and whether football’s heading in the right direction
• The grey areas nobody really wants to talk about
• And how it’s quietly changing competition across leagues

Plus…

• Are Arsenal actually on for the quadruple?
• Or is the hype running ahead of reality (again)?

As ever, plenty of strong opinions, zero tactical diagrams, and absolutely no fence-sitting.

Give it a listen and let us know where you disagree most 👀⚽

Chaos. Confusion. Complete football nonsense.

This week on the Factor 50 Football Podcast, we’re asking one simple question…

How on earth did Manchester United lose to Everton?

United fall 1–0 at Goodison Park… on a day when Idrissa Gueye gets sent off for fighting with his own teammate. Ten men? Yet somehow, Everton still see it out.

Did United bottle it?

Did Everton sh*thousery their way to glory?

Or is this just peak 2025 Premier League energy?

Meanwhile, at the other end of North London…

Arsenal absolutely destroy Spurs 4–1.

Eze rocks up, scores a hat-trick, and turns the derby into his own personal mixtape release party.

Mike is unbearable.

Adam contemplates muting him.

We dive into:

• How United managed to lose to a team imploding in real time.

• Arsenal’s demolition job and Eze’s star turn.

• City losing. Liverpool losing. The title race having a meltdown.

• Ronaldo getting his World Cup red card rescinded and whether justice has finally been served.

And of course — because it’s Factor 50:

Expect:

One-eyed opinions.

Selective outrage.

Petty digs.

And two grown men arguing like they’re calling into talkSPORT at 11pm.

If you love Premier League chaos, tribalism, and deeply unserious analysis… this is your episode.

Chaos. Controversy. Cold, hard nostalgia.

This week on the Factor 50 Football Podcast, we’re doing something a bit different…

We’re going back to Pizza Gate — the day Manchester United ended Arsenal’s 49-game unbeaten run.

Did Ruud really “assault” Ashley Cole?

Did Arsenal actually lose their heads?

Did the ref have an absolute shocker… or have the memories been rewritten by bitter fans on both sides?

Mike comes armed with the full Arsenal agenda.

Adam comes fully prepped to defend United’s honour like it’s 2004 again.

We dive into:

• The Van Nistelrooy challenge — red card in 2024 or just a strong yellow in 2004?

• The refereeing decisions everyone still argues about.

• Whether the game was truly that toxic or if nostalgia makes it worse.

• What really happened in the tunnel when the pizza started flying.

And of course — because it’s Factor 50:

Expect:

One-eyed opinions.

Selective memories.

Petty digs.

And two grown men reliving their teenage football trauma.

If you love Premier League history, tribalism, and pointless arguments… this is your episode.

The Premier League chaos keeps on coming.

This week on the Factor 50 Football Podcast:

Arsenal drop points in a 2–2 draw with Sunderland.

Title wobble incoming… or just a blip before they steamroll again?

Mike’s starting to get that nervous twitch — because City’s gap is down to just four points.

Meanwhile, Manchester United extend their unbeaten run to five — thanks to a last-minute equaliser at Spurs.

Are they quietly turning a corner… or just papering over the cracks?

Plus, we ask the big one:

Is Benjamin Šeško actually any good?

And of course — Mike vs Adam: Predictions is back.

Expect:

• Biased takes.
• Questionable stats.
• Too much confidence, not enough accuracy.

Elite football chat disguised as pub talk from the Premier League's Palest Pundits.

Set-Piece FC | Point Gained or 2 Dropped? | Have Arsenal Already Won It?

Chaos. Corners. Controversy.

This week on the Factor 50 Football Podcast, we’re asking the big question:

Are set pieces completely ruining the Premier League… or are we all just salty our teams can’t defend them?

We get into it.

Manchester United drew 2-2 — but was that a point earned… or two thrown straight in the bin?

Meanwhile… Arsenal.

Top. Calm. Relentless.

Have they basically already won the league? Or is that exactly the moment everything falls apart?

And of course — the predictions game returns.

Expect:

• Agenda.
• Bias.
• Petty arguments.

Elite football analysis disguised as pub chat.
