In Episode 29 of the Pattern Play Podcast, Tim is joined by Linde (Chelsea) and Balin (Man United) to discuss United’s surge to third under Carrick and what it says about past recruitment and the current squad. We debate claims that Arsenal and set pieces are “destroying football,” arguing the bigger issue is the Premier League’s increasing physicality and inconsistent refereeing around pushing and grappling at corners. The conversation shifts to the Champions League draw, with Barcelona and Bayern highlighted as major threats, and Real Madrid vs Man City framed as a hard-to-call tie.
