Shirtless Plantain Show

MUSTAAAAARD!!! Arsenal went away to Sporting and left Portugal with a 5-1 win, Mikel Arteta’s European reputation burnished, and Victor Gyokeres’ celebration in their back pocket. A truly momentous performance called for an impromptu review of the game, so Coach and Deen got cookin. Tap in!

We’re beginning to think that Matheus Cunha is the best Brazilian footballer in the Premier League… or at least he was this weekend. Or was it Joao Pedro? Join Tosin, Coach & Deen for a debate filled edition of the SPS Weekend Review.

Ruben Amorim’s tenure at Man Utd began with a 1-1 draw away at Ipswich. Join Tosin and Tomi for their initial impressions of the new man’s methods: positives, negatives and everything in between.

Arsenal refreshed and rebooted their season with a comfortable 3-0 win against Nottingham Forest at The Emirates. Join Deen, Gabby & Mitch for their thoughts on a straightforward end to Arsenal’s run of poor form, personified by Ethan Nwaneri’s debut Premier League goal for the club.

A mostly international edition of the SPS Pod, headlined by Ghana missing out on AFCON 2025 and France suddenly looking frisky without their captain. Coach and Tosin also answer some of the footy zeitgeist’s most pressing questions. For all that and much more, join the crew for the Weekend Review.

Ruud van Nistelrooy wrapped up a 4 game undefeated tenure as interim Man United boss and fans have nothing but gratitude for his service.

Join Tosin and Tomi as they ponder if Ruben Amorim will keep Ruud around as part of his staff and dissect Man Utd’s 3-0 win over Leicester City, with special praise for Amad, Mazroui and Onana. Tap in!

You might not have known who Carlos Baleba was before this weekend, but we bet you and Pep both know him pretty well today. For more on his powerhouse dominance of Man City and all the rest of the action that mattered around Europe last weekend, join Tosin, Coach and Deen for the SPS Weekend Review.

Arsenal ended their 3 game losing streak with a 1-1 draw away at Stamford Bridge that probably should’ve been a win on the balance of play. Join Coach, Mitch & Deen for a review of the match along with ruminations on where Arsenal are in the title race.

The lads brave the week’s turmoil to discuss this week’s Champions League fixtures. Jonathan David & Rafa Leao get flowers this week, while Liverpool remain fantastic.

The guys gather a day late to discuss the Bundesliga & Ligue Un reverting to type, while Ademola Lookman is powering Atalanta into the Serie A race. The rest of the footy that mattered elsewhere got our attention too. However, things start with a tribute to the icon of all icons, Quincy Jones (RIP).
