July 02, 2020 Jurgen Klopp’s anger, a game that meant nothing and Jose Mourinho reaches the end-again
Liverpool showed up at the Etihad as champions and left with an embarrassing defeat which left Jurgen Klopp furious, but mainly with those who questioned his players’ attitude.
On The Football Spin, Dion Fanning says the defeat to Manchester City on Thursday night has no meaning and says nothing about next season.
Will Jose Mourinho be at Tottenham next season? And why would Spurs’ supporters want him there after a defeat at Sheffield United which saw Jose fall back on all his old reliable excuses.

July 01, 2020 David Moyes’s glory as West Ham stun Lamps and Carlo Ancelotti, revolutionary
After West Ham’s critical victory against Chelsea, The Football Spin celebrates David Moyes, national treasure. Does he deserve a break?

Paddy also delivered his long anticipated presentation on what Carlo Ancelotti has done at Everton and why he is bringing a revolutionary air to Goodison Park.

June 28, 2020 Dominic Cummings, Liverpool’s title celebrations and why Manchester United aren’t back yet
Liverpool won their first title in 30 years on Thursday but the celebrations have provoked criticism. On a Sunday morning Football Spin, Nooruddean Choudry, Dion Fanning and Paddy McKenna discuss the response to the title win and why Dominic Cummings’ drive to Barnard Castle contributed to the scenes on Merseyside on Friday.
Does it tarnish Liverpool’s title win or are so many arguments made in bad faith in the endless culture war that everything just disintegrates into a shouting match?
Following Manchester United’s victory, there’s a consideration of where Solskjaer is now and if there are now signs that he will restore the club to glory.

June 22, 2020 Racists make fools of themselves with the White Lives Matter plane
Another night when football took a stand. As the Manchester City and Burnley players and staff took a knee at the Etihad on Monday night, a plane flew overhead trailing a banner which read ‘White Lives Matter Burnley’.
Burnley were quick to issue a statement condemning it while Sean Dyche and Ben Mee also were eloquent in their criticism.
Mee spoke powerfully about how he felt ashamed by the plane and in doing so highlighted again that there is no turning back. On The Football Spin, Paddy McKenna, Dion Fanning and Nooruddean Choudry talk about the incident and why it illustrated how the world is changing.
There is also Jose Mourinho’s fake news and why some records are too good to be true

June 21, 2020 A Merseyside Derby to forget, Carlo Ancelotti’s progress and Dejan Lovren’s consistency
Liverpool may have to wait for their title after a scoreless draw to forget at Goodison Park. It was a game that deserved to be played in an empty stadium and Everton could have made Liverpool’s run in even more tense if they had taken their chances or capitalised on the arrival of Dejan Lovren.
It was like Lovren had never been away which wasn’t a good thing for Liverpool. On Sunday’s Football Spin, Nooruddean Choudry looks at Lovren’s career and his apparent political leanings and wonders what it is that links them while Paddy McKenna explains what Carlo Ancelotti is doing to make Everton great again.

June 20, 2020 Arsenal remain true to their brand, AFTV’s reinvention and the greatness of Ian Wright
What next for Arsenal? Even in an empty stadium, you could feel the rage as Neal Maupay scored a vital winning goal for Brighton on Saturday afternoon.
The anger was everywhere but Maupay didn’t back down. Arsenal supporters who were angry at him for his role in the injury to Bernd Leno and angrier when he scored, had to listen as he told Arsenal players to learn some humility.
But do Arsenal need something other than humility? Can Mikel Arteta change the habits which have been there for years and which have emerged unaltered in lockdown. On The Football Spin, Paddy McKenna, Dion Fanning and Nooruddean Choudry discuss Arsenal being Arsenal and what Mikel Arteta can do about it. Reuben Pinder explains the rise of Crystal Palace and there’s a lot of love for Ian Wright.
