One Kick From Glory

Nostalgia has dominated popular culture and sport is no exception to this trend. The 'Barclaysman' videos trend has swept across football, casting our minds back to favoured footballers of old. We sat back and discussed three of our favourite Barclaysmen, and reflected on the weekend's action.

Raheem Sterling traded blue for red on transfer deadline day. With the opportunity to join Arsenal, a childhood dream fulfilled and the chance to link up with Mikel Arteta again proving too big to turn down. Will he fire Arsenal to the title this season?

Liverpool may have moved away from their legendary training ground in 2021, but Old Trafford is proving to be a favourable stadium for one Mo Salah. He has scored a record 15 goals against Man United, with 10 coming at Old Trafford. He will take some stopping this season in the hunt for the golden boot.

Following his ill timed social media post, Noni Madukele stepped up and moved the conversation away from a gaff and to a glut of goals. A hat trick and a positive Chelsea performance has given Enzo Maresca a lot to build upon. How will Chelsea continue to develop this season?

The Premier League is back and the monster trio of Salah, Haaland proved that it's business as usual for them. Unfortunately for the blues, they couldn't start off on the front foot.

How will Chelsea shape up, after their defeat to Manchester City? Are Liverpool and Arsenal set to challenge Manchester City to the title and will the Red half of Manchester join the party? At what point does player welfare come in to question with Chelsea’s “squad building”.

The 2024/25 football season is here, and there is so much optimism in the air around our clubs. Will Chelsea’s “strategy” of stockpiling players pay off, or is Enzo Maresca’s blues in for a shock? Can Arne Slot lead Liverpool to a title win this year, or will the machine that is Manchester City achieve an historic 5th win in a row? 

We’re back and listen up to hear how we see things playing out.

Kylian Mbappe finally secured his dream move to Real Madrid. After much speculation, delays and frustration, it has finally happened. How will he fear at his new club? Will Real Madrid enter another dynastic era? Whilst in England, Man City are creating more noise in the courtroom. How will their decision to sue the Premier League pan out?

The crowning heights of sporting success are clouded by the prolonged delay over the 115 charges. Like Lance Armstrong, these great sporting achievements lose their shine when cheating is implied & there’s a lot of smoke over at Manchester City. 

We put this backdrop to one side, to reflect on another successful year for Pep’s team. 

Taking a look at the progress, or lack there off of the rest of the league & make our predictions for next season. Who can take the throne away from Man City? Or do we all have to wait for Pep’s departure first?

Tuesday night's showdown between Man City & Tottenham promised a lot and delivered much frustration, for Ange Postecoglou and the misguided Arsenal fans who thought spurs would do them a favour. Never.

Man City collected all 3 points, and with Chelsea's win against Brighton, there is an outside chance that Tottenham may loses out on fifth spot come the end of the season. Come Sunday, how damaging might this result prove to be?
