3K To London - The Football Fan Show

Despite a sacking and new hire at Chelsea, Omar is back to predict lineups and scores with Ebere for Premier League Pick-em, matchweeks 21 & 22. A new look squad v Wolves and subsequent suggestions that Tuchel will experiment in the coming weeks has Omar in knots. Is this Ebere's chance to pull ahead?

Arsenal and Chelsea have both experienced a surge in first team minutes for academy products, and though we're both delighted about that, the road each club has traveled to arrived at this point has markedly differed. Ebere and Omar dive into the fairly recent history of youth development at our two beloved clubs, lament prospects lost to disinterested managers and loan clubs, and perhaps a bright horizon with several bright and talented stars having broken through. Pull up a chair, we're glad you're here!

The hatchet has fallen on our beloved club legend, Frank Lampard. Raw as the emotions are, Reza joins Omar for reaction and discussion of what went wrong as well as the possibility of a brighter future, in advance of a conversation with Ebere over the weekend.

Premier League Pick-em Strikes Again! With a last minute, in-show switch, Ebere correctly guessed the 3-0 scoreline for Arsenal v Newcastle. That brings him to within a point of Omar, who like his beloved Blues, has hit a bit of a barren spell and remains at 3 points. Can this be the week he and Frank stop the rot?

It's time to take a look back at the half season past, and we've brought some special guests along for the occasion. This week, Amara and Reza talk to Ebere and Omar about expectations missed and met, as well as their hopes for the rest of the season. We hope you enjoy this expanded edition of 3K To London!

3K To London is back with another double-header Pick'em episode! Heading into the midpoint of the season, Omar remains comfortably ahead of his co-host, but with up to six points on offer spread over two matches, Ebere could quickly turn the tables.

In this episode, we talk about captains: once indelible icons and legends of their club, has their role been reduced to little more than cultural steward? Or have squad dynamics changed so much that teams no longer need the ever-imposing figure of the captain of yesteryear? Come with us on another stroll down the footballing rabbit hole...

The suggestion that either Messi or Ronaldo is the greatest footballer truly irks Ebere, so much so that we're diving headlong into the subject this week. We talk about the boxes any player must check in order to qualify to be in the discussion, whether attacking should count for more than defending, and ultimately who should carry the title of World's Greatest. Ever. Enjoy!

Happy New Year, everyone! Premier League Pick'em is back for the last 3KTL episode of 2020 (according to EST, that is). Despite the recently contrasting fortunes of Arsenal and Chelsea, the points gap between our two hosts remains at two, with Omar maintaining his lead heading into the New Year. Chelsea host Manchester City at the Bridge while Arsenal visit old bugbear Sam Allardyce at his new home of West Brom - can the Gunners buck past experience and continue their ascendancy up the table? We shall soon find out.

We're diving into Project Big Picture in this week's episode. The plan that was leaked, then hastily unveiled and attributed to executives at Man United and Liverpool has several interesting facets that touch many aspects of the game. Is it really dead, or will it make a comeback? Which clubs will it benefit? What does it mean for fans? Pull up a chair and listen in to find out!
