We’re back with the second episode of the new EPL season!

In this episode, we take a look at Liverpool and why we think that the 9-0 thrashing of Bournemouth might just be papering over cracks. In addition, we also cover West Ham’s poor start & Brighton’s spectacular unbeaten run into this new & exciting 22/23 season.

Looking ahead, we preview Man United’s away fixture to Leicester City who are still looking for their first win this campaign after losing to 10 men Chelsea over the weekend.

42:00 Closing remarks and future pre-season pods

A special episode where we review the final and how it went down, the expectations building up to it, who deserved the win, who had the better chances, the key individual battles and the road to the final.

We’ve made it to the end, our final episode for the EPL season!

In this episode we cover Haaland’s huge move to Man City and the potential implications, Liverpool's FA Cup final triumph, as well as the current title race that is scarily similar to the end of 2018/19 season.

We look at the race for fourth (which has been a farce) and analyse how Spurs have managed to overtake Arsenal despite the Gunners being in such a strong position. And finally we discuss Marsch’s Gandhi-inspired Leeds, Dyche-less Burnley and entertaining Everton - the unlikely trio that have somehow ended up in a relegation scrap.

We’ll be recording more post-season episodes so stay tuned!
