The most successful international break in pod history as Ireland actually WON a game of football, and it wasn't even against Gibraltar this time!

Just as things looked up after beating Finland, Ireland were halted by an impassioned Greece team, honoring their late teammate George Baldock. 

Lee Carsley's England also lost to the Greeks, prompting Carsley to strike out in the post-match press conference.

Enter Thomas Tuchel, as England aims for the rare feat of winning a Euros or World Cup with a non-national manager.

Meanwhile, Nigeria faced a suspicious last-minute plane diversion, leaving them stranded without food, water, or Wi-Fi—allegedly a mind game from Libya.

Even Sir Alex Ferguson isn't safe from cutbacks at Manchester United, as INEOS has cut his cushy ambassador role.

We are rapidly leaving the 'too early to tell' timezone and starting to see how the Premier League is really shaping up this year.

Erik Ten Hag was given the dreaded 2 games to turn it around and managed a a draw against Porto and a draw against Aston Villa, so what happens now?

Man United fans nostalgia haas reached sad new levels as they long for the mid 2020's.

As Cole Palmer calmly watched chaos unfold around him during the Chelsea Nottingham Forest game, we ask, is he more cunning than he seems?

It finallly happened, as Ange Postecoglu's spirit seemed officially broken while he spoke about his worst result ever as Spurs manager, after they became the first team in Premier League history to lose 10 games after being 2 goals up. This time with Danny Welbeck's Brighton dealing out the psychic damage.

Is it that time of the year already? It feels like a game that decides the Man United manager's tenure is over comes around earlier every season.

Man United suffered an embarassing 3-0 home loss to Tottenham. Another in a long line of poor results which see's the pressure really piled on Erik Ten Hag.

After their 'spicy' game last week and the subsequent discussions around Arsenal's mastery of the dark arts, Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta have had enough of the buddy buddy act.

As Cole Palmer put 4 away in 45 minutes to give Chelsea a 4-2 win, we ask ourselves the worrying question..was Todd Boehley's plan right all along?

The Madrid derby descended into a literal poop slinging contest as Diego Simeone pleaded with Ultras to allow the game continue.

A rare one game review of the Premier League this week as Arsenal and Man City played out an absolute classic, but not the type of classic you'd usually expect.

Arsenal are insistent on becoming the bad boys of the league, and they could not have picked a worse time in history to decide this.

We have a real rivalry on our hands with angry post match press conferences, injuries, and an absolute blockbuster five minutes of Erling Haaland hijinks.

Tinfoil hats on as Rodri is out for the season as his knee explodes just days after hinting that players should think about striking against the ever growing fixture calendar.

One nil to the Arsenal in the North London Derby as Ange Postecoglou's Ultra attacking Tottenham came up short against Mikel Arteta's defensively air tight (yes that's right) Arsenal. Despite it not being the only problem for Tottenham, losing by one goal from another set piece mad Postecoglou look at best naive and at worst stubborn. Despite all this Tottenham Hotspur can look forward to GUARANTEED  silverware in their second season with Ange Postecoglou. All eyes on the upcoming Carabao Cup third round draw.

We talk about the latest  Everton collapse on the pitch as well as a more than likely offield collapse of a potential takeover from another group of American billionaires. Everton fans might be hopeful that playboy and enterainer John Textor may not bother looking closely  at the everton books, but savvy business mogul and part owner of the Brooklyn Nets, Jay Z, will surely do his due diligence.

Arne Slot saw his first loss of the season and Liverpool's first loss to Nottingham Forest since the 1960s. He may also of learned that everything you say can and will be used against you by fans of opposing teams.

One of the worst international breaks in Ireland history comes to a close with yet another 2-0 loss to Greece.

Not a great start from Heimir Hallgrimmson, and the knives are already out in the media from former players and pundits. John O'Shea has his work cut out for him to turn this one around.

The #Barclaysmen trend has taken social media by storm, and we've got some thoughts on yet another nostalgia boom.

On the rest of the bonus episode available for Ultras only, we also pitch a potential Black Mirror episode about our psychic powers, discuss a particularly poor joke (in more ways than one) which now means Tottenham will be without Bentancur for the upcoming #NLD and plenty more.

A dark day for Irish football as Declan Rice and Jack Grealish come back to haunt us duing an incredibly bleak game in Dublin.

What's next for the Irish mens football team we ask, as we seem to look worse every game.

We also cast an eye over the rest of the esteemed Nations League.

The news never stops at Chelsea, and this week was no different as co-owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake desperately try to make the other look bad.

You can thank us later for single handedly bringing back the dramatic football ad genre as Sky Italia steals our advert pitch from a few episodes back.

What year is it? Haven't we been here before?

A groundhog day episode of the pod as Man United suffer an embarrassing loss to Liverpool where they are totally out managed in a big game as Arne Slot put the pressure on Erik Ten Hag.

Arsenal dropped some points thanks to THE LETTER OF THE LAW as Declan Rice tips his way to a red card against Brighton.

Man City continue to steamroll the Premier League for the umpteenth season with Erling Haaland scoring back to back hattricks - this time against West Ham.

Kylian Mbappé is freed from the clutches of fraud watch thanks to some help from his teammates.

Romelu Lukaku is back in the goals in the Serie A, but maybe have a look at the highlights before you go praising him too much.

We also go in depth on our top 3 number of beers. This is real podcasting folks.

Gameweek 2 and the Premier League has already ramped up the madness as only it can.

Noni Madueke had a whirlwind 24 hours as he accidentally posts his genuine thoughts on social media about Wolverhampton, then goes and proves it as Chelsea show that maybe they're not so crazy after all by winning 6-2 against Wolves

Man United head loss counter is now officially at 1 as they somehow manage to lose 2-1 against Brighton thanks to one of the maddest offsides you'll ever see from Joshua Zirkzee.

Things go from bad to worse for Everton as they are easily hammered again by Spurs, and off the pitch by their own fans. Neal Maupay asks who among us suffers more than the Premier League footballer?

Resident starboy historian Endrick has officially arrived on the scene, breaking the youngest foreign goalscorer record at Real Madrid. Bobby Charlton is looking down with a tear in his eye.

Bayer Leverkeusen's voodoo continues as they rapidly become the most hated team in Germany probably.

And just like that the Premier League is back. But really, what can actually be taken from the opening gameweek fixtures apart from a certain relegation and how doomed a certain London club are.

As the players keep coming in the doors of the Chelsea gym, Raheem Sterling's camp took to social media right before their opening game against Man City as he was left out of the squad entirely.

As Kovacic glided through Chelsea's midfield it was a stark reminder that this City team is not like anyone else.

It looks like it might finally be one relegation battle too many for Everton as they start the season with a 3-0 hammering against Brighton. Is it time for Sean Dyche to move away from his old Burnley boys?

We asked for new over the top cinematic football ads and we got our wish as Barry Keoghan monologues us through a time which never existed in the latest Man United based Adidas Originals ad.

We do a deep dive on our favourite classic football adverts of the past and try our hand at pitching our own!
