Playing Offside

The podcast takes a Room 101 style twist to it, with Deano, James and Louis revealing their worst pet peeves in the beautiful game and if they should be sent to oblivion. An extremely excited James shares his thoughts on Gareth Bales return to Spurs, reviewing the new VAR rules to handballs and penalty, which made a big impact to Manchester United’s defeat to Crystal Palace, and we discuss who may win the Carabao Cup this year. Will it be Man City retaining, Liverpool winning a record 9th cup or will a mid table team such as Southampton or Newcastle push on, in hopes of qualifying for Europe.
