Hearts win. People argue. Standard.

Arsenal take Spurs apart in a North London derby that wasn’t remotely subtle. Scotland edge past Wales in the rugby and, once again, Finn Russell does something only Finn Russell would attempt.

We dip into the Women’s Asian Cup, revisit Pacquiao v Mayweather in Ridiculous — still the most lucrative sparring session in history — and for the properly committed, there’s Dundee United v Aberdeen as the Sickos Pick.

Plus Falkirk Corner, where one goal before half-time quietly flipped the entire afternoon.

Scotland dismantle England in a proper Six Nations performance, while Australia and Pakistan flirt with T20 disaster as the USA eye history. Mansfield provide the FA Cup shock of the round, Inter tighten their grip in Italy, and Madrid go top after Barcelona wobble.

In Formula One the drivers are already grumbling that “racing” now means energy management at 50kph, Celtic continue to play seasons within seasons thanks to generous added time, and Canada’s curling controversy rolls on after a stone-touch saga and an extraordinary reaction from Mark Kennedy.

Plus Falkirk frustrations, a rogue national anthem moment, and a genuinely elite Sickos Pick: Canada v USA in the women’s ice hockey final.

Downhill skiing continues to look like a workplace safety incident waiting to happen, Lindsey Vonn tests gravity’s patience once again, and Germany produce an Olympic ski-jumping champion who isn’t overly fond of heights. In football, Liverpool and Manchester City turn a red card into a national debate, Scotland forget how lineouts function, and the Calcutta Cup now arrives with consequences attached. The Super Bowl delivers sacks, field goals and very little chaos, Super Rugby is back with Waratahs v Reds, Falkirk grind out results without ever making it comfortable, and somewhere in winter sport we learn that sometimes the real performance enhancement is tailoring.

Tennis history is completed in Melbourne, with a Grand Slam set finally ticked off.

The Premier League and A-League continue their ongoing experiments with consistency, while Manchester United quietly keep winning and Newcastle very much don’t.

Winter sport starts warming up ahead of 2026, introducing ski mountaineering, smaller ice rinks, longer penalties, and a reminder that even Olympic athletes aren’t safe from copyright law — especially if your walk-out music involves Minions.

There’s Six Nations admin, a Super Bowl on the horizon, Falkirk negotiating an evening at Celtic Park that never quite settled, and one of the stranger moments in boxing involving an uppercut and a departing hairpiece.

All that, plus a fixture that felt less like football and more like a social experiment.

The Australian Open reaches the business end with the seeds doing exactly what they were supposed to. Football, naturally, goes the other way — Manchester United edge Arsenal, Liverpool stumble again, Newcastle slip at home and Crystal Palace continue to look like a club searching for answers.

We check in on early Formula One testing in Barcelona, why the cars look different, where teams actually spend their money, and why this season might put more responsibility back in the drivers’ hands.

There’s NHL chat, a Sydney derby double header to watch out for, and a Falkirk corner that felt calm, controlled and never really in doubt — plus a welcome return that matters.

We finish, as always, in ridiculous territory… and with a Sickos Pick that raises serious questions about everyone involved.

Season 2, Episode 3 — and absolutely nothing behaves itself.

The Australian Open gets underway without too many shocks, the Premier League continues its refusal to make sense, and the NHL tightens up as the playoff picture starts to form. We cover form, fixtures, and why no one can seem to win twice in a row.

There’s also proper chaos elsewhere — an AFCON final that descends into carnage, commentary that becomes part of the story in Hearts v Falkirk, and a discussion on bias that somehow feels unavoidable.

We welcome a new guest to the pod — Gaz, aka Jambo — hoping for balance, only for the Wi-Fi to decide it’s had enough and drop out mid-show.

No signal. No form. No sense.

Season 2, Episode 3.

FA Cup chaos, LIV Golf cracks, NFL playoff drama and a massive Falkirk performance.

This week, the FA Cup delivered peak anarchy as giants fell, Manchester United recorded their shortest run since WWI, and lower-league romance reminded us why the competition still matters. We break down the NFL playoffs as the margins tighten and pressure ramps up.

In golf, Brooks Koepka’s return to PGA events raises a bigger question: are exemptions for major winners like Jon Rahm, Cam Smith and Bryson DeChambeau the first real crack in LIV Golf’s armour?

Falkirk Corner dives deep into an outstanding performance against St Mirren — the diamond formation, brave build-up play, and why this squad should fear no one heading into clashes with Celtic and Hibs. Plus, thoughts on new signings Ben Parkinson and Louie Marsh.

We also cover a truly ridiculous US bobsleigh failure, a Masters snooker table rolling like a pub special, and finish with a full Sickos Pick: Sydney Sixers vs Sydney Thunder.

No off season. No brakes. No logic required.

Australia tighten their grip on the Ashes as England continue to unravel, with dropped catches, soft wickets and little resistance beyond the usual suspects. In football, the managerial axe swings freely, Manchester United remain a work in progress, Arsenal keep scoring, and Manchester City quietly misplace points.

Elsewhere, the NFL delivers some welcome clarity as the Steelers book a playoff spot, the darts produces elite-level drama with Littler in full control, and Falkirk’s mixed bag of results leaves more questions than answers. We finish with one eye on Arsenal v Liverpool — and a Sickos Pick that probably says more about us than the sport.

Day one delivers runs, records and self-inflicted damage as Australia mix Carey’s century with some very avoidable wickets, while we start looking ahead to the Boxing Day Test. The Premier League throws up more questions than answers with Spurs wobbling, West Ham sinking and clean sheets still hard to come by. The Big Bash returns as festive background noise, the darts stay drama-free (for now), Falkirk grind through a scrappy afternoon in brutal conditions, and we finish with outrageous speed, an all-time meltdown and a proper sickos’ pick.

Lando Norris finally takes the title while Verstappen wins the race but decides reversing up the straight is a bit too spicy, even for him. England suffer a brutal Ashes defeat after another batting implosion, Australia bat like adults, and Steve Smith delivers the sledge of the series before backing it up with bat in hand.

In the Premier League, Arsenal slip, City close in, Palace climb to fourth, and Liverpool drop points again amid a bit of Salah drama. We break down the World Cup draw, Falkirk’s 3–0 win over Hibs after a sleepy first half, and Arsenal’s theatrical rolling around after conceding.

Plus, our Sickos Pick heads to the Wear–Tyne derby: Sunderland v Newcastle.

And of course — One to Watch: Ashes Test 3 in Adelaide.
