It’s been quite the week for both of us when it comes to football so we’re going to dissect it all just for your amusement!

Chelsea decided to kick off the week by sacking Frank Lampard before quickly hiring Thomas Tuchel who was in the dugout less than 24 hours later.

We discuss the fallout from the managerial change, the future of the club’s starting XI and why Chelseaneed a head coach and not a manager.

But before all of that, we discuss Everton’s woeful week. Whilst a draw with Leicester looks good, the manner in which it happed wasn’t ideal however following it up with a loss to Newcastle is even less so!

We look into Everton’s season so far and why no one seems to want to grab hold of the top 4 race and make it there own. Everton’s recent form also shines a light on Richarlison’s efforts of late. Does the player deserve more time or is it time to move him on?

We also give our thoughts on all of the games that have happened over the last week to round out the show!

Liverpool's most recent result to Burnley has left the club without a win in their last 5 matches and in their last 4 they have failed to find the back of the net.

Their recent form has seen them slip to 4th in the table (for now) and with the likes of Tottenham and Everton close behind them with games in hand, the club could slip outside the top 4 altogether in the blink of an eye.

This raises all sorts of questions surrounding the club, are they still in a title race, are they at risk on missing out on Champions League football, who is to blame for this most recent slump and is the loss of Van Dijk starting to really show itself?

We dive into everything Liverpool related and more this week.

To kick off the show, however, David asks Jacques how Frank Lampard is still at Chelsea. We discuss Chelsea's form, the future for both the club and the manager and why sacking him now will be a much bigger issue in Jacques's eyes for the club in the long term.

We also discuss Zidane and Bale's futures, Manchester United going clear at the top of the league, how impressive Leicester have been plus much much more.

Newcastle United's loss to Sheffield United has brought even more pressure onto Steve Bruce, but is he, in fact, doing exactly what he is being asked, keep the club in the Premier League?

We discuss Newcastle and the position they find themselves in currently, who is truly responsible for the situation they are in and is this a never-ending cycle until Mike Ashely finally sells the club?

A huge win for Everton this week leads us into a debate about Alex Iwobi's recent form and comparisons drawn between Nicolas Pepe and Wilfred Zaha bring up the question of Arsenal and the state of the club's financial dealing yet again.

Speaking of finances, we spend a lot of time on this show preaching that every club spends money, well we've got the information at hand and there are some shocking outcomes!

We also discuss the difference between being a manager and a head coach, the relationship between a manager and a sporting director, the Salford city documentary, the fallout from Spurs vs Fulham and much much more!

The loss to Manchester City piled the pressure onto Chelsea and Frank Lampard yet again. But is this just another dramatic reaction to a couple of bad results?

We look at the reaction to Chelsea's recent form and why the unpredictability of the league this year makes us think its all just an overreaction. We also discuss the comparisons between Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard as managers that has sparked up recently.

The January transfer window has opened and the effects of Brexit on it are starting to become clear, what will it mean for the future of British football as a result?

We also touch upon the other recent results in the Premier League, the ever-growing list of postponed matches and Graham Potter's job at Brighton so far.

Happy New Year Everyone!! Here's hoping 2021 is a good one for both you and your teams!

But before this year kicks off we've got 2020 to wrap up, and the Christmas period has certainly changed the way the Premier League is looking!

We kick off the show discussing Chelsea's current form and how long we both think Frank Lampard will be given. This leads us to review Chelsea's new signings, how we feel they are doing so far and whether or not Premier League teams should be looking towards signing homegrown talent rather than players from abroad?

Everton's Christmas run was disrupted when their fixture against Manchester City was postponed due to a coronavirus outbreak within the away team's squad. Was the 4-hour notice of the cancellation acceptable and could more have been done to prevent this from happening?

We also dive into all the games that took place from boxing day to new years day which leads us into debates on Burnley's new takeover, Mo Salah's future at Liverpool, Arteta's position as Arsenal manager plus much much more.

Finally, we round up the show with our 2020 awards!

Arsenal are currently the worst team in the Premier League, the performances show it and the stats back it up!

We dive into their shocking performance against Everton, the state of the current squad and why they are well and truly in a relegation battle.

The other big news of the week involves Leeds United receiving nothing but praise despite a 6-2 loss to Manchester United. Does this make sense?

We debate the reaction to the result, the stubbornness of not adapting a tactical style and whether or not Man United are now in the title race.

Throughout the show, we also discuss Klopp's substitutes during their 7-0 thrashing of Palace, the future of Salah at Liverpool, where we think Manchester City need to improve, the Everton fan's treatment of their homegrown players and the development of Kai Havertz and Timo Werner at Chelsea.

A lot can happen in a week, especially when you cram 20 Premier League matches into it!

While Jacques saw Chelsea slip down the table, David saw Everton climb back up it and that's where we start today's show! Both clubs have had polarising results lately and the '2 Men Rambling Derby' saw Everton take all three points. 

We give our thoughts on the game itself, our teams following results, the form of Timo Werner and Kai Havertz and the future of Jordan Pickford and Richarlison.

In arguably the biggest move of the week, however, West Brom took the decision to sack Slaven Bilic and replace him with Sam Allardyce in an attempt to steer the club away from the drop. The move has received a lot of criticism, and that includes ourselves, however, have West Brom in fact pulled off the best move of them all?

We cover all the pros and cons to the managerial switch and debate where we think the club will end up as a result.

To top it all off we discuss the Premier League Clubs knocking back the five sub rule, the growing concern of concussion in the game, the FIFA Fifpro Team of the Year and the complaints Jose Mourinho is getting for his style of play at Tottenham.

The rollercoaster rides at Manchester United & Arsenal have kicked back into gear and that's our main focus for this weeks episode!

After Paul Pogba's super-agent Mina Raiola came out this week and all but ended his clients time at Manchester United right in the public eye what does the future hold for the French World Cup Winning midfielder? We look at where his next club might be, what his time at Manchester United has been like and his similarities to Mesut Ozil.

To add more problems onto Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's plate United also crashed out of the Champions League in dramatic fashion during the week, will a devastating loss to City in the Manchester Derby finally result in Solskjaer's reign coming to an end?

This leads us to discuss all things Manchester United, their squad depth, transfer policy, managerial reputations and more.

Arsenal have also had a difficult week, a North London derby has piled more pressure onto Mikel Arteta and we debate whether or not the club should regret giving club captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang a new contract?

Finally, we discuss the growing strength of Tottenham, the expectations of Everton Fans and Frank Lampard's treatment in the media.

As the transfer window approaches the implications of Britain leaving the EU will take effect on both the transfer market and club academies alike.

But what will these implications be though and how will they shape the future of Britain's grassroots football? We delve into the topic and debate the future of academy scouting and how the quality of coaching in the country will need to improve as a result.

We also discuss the current state of Arsenal and whether or not Arteta's future at the club is already at risk all before Jacques lets everyone know why West Ham don't deserve what they currently have. 

In between all this footballing goodness, we praise Oliver Giroud's elite performance against Sevilla and discuss where we think his future will lead him, how Ole taking the blame for Fred's red card against PSG is wrong, Jurgen Klopp's BT Sport rant and what we think Sheffield United's expectations should actually be.

Finally, we cover the rest of last weekend's results, their implications on the clubs involved and we give our predictions for this weekend's matches.
