With huge results up and down the table, as well as a record broken in dramatic fashion, it felt like the biggest weekend in the Premier League season so far.

Musa and Ryan chat about Arsenal’s win over Everton, where Max Dowman came on, changed the game and became the Premier League’s youngest ever goalscorer, in a late 2-0 win.

It was made even more important due to West Ham and Manchester City’s 1-1 draw, which was a huge result for Nuno Espírito Santo, but a costly one for Pep Guardiola. The same scoreline happened at Anfield, where Spurs equalised late against Liverpool, to stop their losing streak.

There's chat about Michael Carrick’s Manchester United, who bounced back with an impressive win over Aston Villa, before a quick bit on the week coming up for Arsenal and Manchester City. They then quickly head to Europe, for an Arda Güler wonder goal, a Barcelona win, some Serie A and a few more shoutouts.

Musa’s on his travels, so there’s a bit of chat up top about him leaning into a Stadio bit.

Then he and Ryan chat about this weekend’s FA Cup fifth round (07:17), which saw another amazing result for Port Vale, who knocked out Sunderland. Southampton also caused an upset, with a late win at Fulham, while Arsenal got past an impressive Mansfield side. 

They round up the rest of the results, which saw Liverpool, Chelsea, Leeds and Manchester City progress, before a quick trip to Germany (22:13) to shout out some results and chat briefly about the news that Julian Brandt will leave Dortmund at the end of the season.

Then it’s time to turn the attention to the Derby della Madonnina (30:13), where Milan completed the double over Inter for the first time since 2010/11, reducing the lead at the top of Serie A to seven points, with ten games to go.

Finally, there’s a Champions League look ahead (40:52), with the round of 16 first legs taking place this week.

After some chat up top, Musa and Ryan begin with Bayern’s 3-2 win at Dortmund (06:02) to open up an eleven point gap at the top of the Bundesliga. They then round up some other results around Europe, before heading to the Premier League (19:24).

There’s chat about Arsenal’s win over Chelsea, where all three goals were set pieces, Manchester United going third, as well as some of the other results, most of which also contained set pieces. There’s also chat about Arne Slot’s comments about… set pieces (40:31), and how they’re making the Premier League tougher to watch. 

Finally, the new law changes were outlined by IFAB this weekend, so there are some thoughts on the ones that will be introduced at this summer’s World Cup (51:41).

There’s some important admin up top, but once that’s all out of the way, Musa and Ryan turn their attention to the Premier League title race once more after what felt like a very important few days.

They begin with Arsenal’s 4-1 win at Spurs in the North London derby (03:53), which saw them maintain a five point lead at the top of the Premier League. There’s chat about braces for Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyökeres and the response of Mikel Arteta’s side, following the draw at Wolves in midweek.

There’s a bit of chat about Spurs’ position in the table and whether they can realistically go down (24:29), before heading to Manchester City’s 2-1 win over Newcastle United on Saturday (30:30), plus some thoughts about the title race in general.

After a quick round-up of the rest of the Premier League, they wrap up results elsewhere (49:07), including La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue and more!

The Derby d’Italia this weekend felt crucial in the race for this year’s Scudetto. 

Musa and Ryan chat about Inter leaving it late to beat Juventus (05:03), who were down to ten for the entire second half at San Siro, after a very controversial second yellow for Pierre Kalulu. It took a brilliant winner from Piotr Zieliński to win the game and send Inter eight points clear of the top, thanks to Napoli’s draw with Roma. 

In the middle of all that, there’s a big detour about manager’s first touches and player showboating (17:39), before chatting about Igor Tudor becoming the Tottenham Hotspur men’s interim head coach (34:53). 

Finally, there’s a round-up (45:33) featuring La Liga, Bundesliga, FA Cup, a rare case of a spiritually onside goal actually counting and Mo Salah doing his bit for content.

Apologies for the late show today, but we’re finally here to chat all about another big weekend in the Premier League title race, which saw Manchester City come from behind to win away at Liverpool, for only the second time under Pep Guardiola. 

After shout outs for the WSL, PSG v Marseille and a few other results (04:21), Musa and Ryan head to Anfield (11:23), which saw another unbelievable free-kick from Dominik Szoboszlai give Liverpool the lead, a great comeback and the world being cruelly robbed of one of the silliest goals of the modern era.

That meant the gap was the same at the top as before the weekend, following Arsenal’s impressive 3-0 win over Sunderland on Saturday (30:52). Elsewhere, Aston Villa dropped more points, Manchester United may never lose again, Crystal Palace ended their winless streak and Cole Palmer scored another first half hat-trick.

In Germany, Bayern and Dortmund teased a title race (48:13) and St. Pauli got a much needed win. Finally, there’s a round-up of La Liga and a bit of chat about Ademola Lookman’s move to Atlético Madrid (53:12).

Musa and Ryan begin this week with a huge game in the WSL, where Manchester City opened up an 11-point gap at the top after their 5-1 win over Chelsea. Arsenal, meanwhile, beat Corinthians in extra-time, to become the winners of the inaugural FIFA Women’s Champions Cup.

Then, it’s onto the Premier League, where there was a true game of two halves that saw Spurs and Manchester City play out a 2-2 draw (10:24) and an incredible Dominic Solanke goal, while Aston Villa lost at home to Brentford, who played out the entirety of the second half down to ten.

Arsenal extended their lead at the top, thanks to a very impressive 4-0 win away at Leeds (39:24), Manchester United left it late to keep the good times rolling (46:22) and there’s also a round-up of the rest of the Premier League, plus the Bundesliga, La Liga and much more!

It was the Stadio derby this weekend, with Manchester United beating Arsenal in the league at the Emirates for the first time since 2017.

Musa and Ryan chat about a game that continued the good vibes around Michael Carrick's appointment, following up last week’s Manchester derby victory, thanks to two unbelievable goals from Patrick Dorgu and Matheus Cunha (03:27). They also look at it from the Arsenal perspective, their attacking issues and the differences between the recent league and cup performances.

It meant Aston Villa and Manchester City closed the gap to their wins, so there’s chat about those games as well as the rest of the results (32:11), including a late winner for Bournemouth over Liverpool, another West Ham win and more as the Premier League grind continues.

Then it’s off to Europe (53:32), where Bayern lost for the first time in the Bundesliga this season thanks to a 1-2 defeat to Augsburg, Inter opened up a gap in Serie A, PSG went top of Ligue 1 and wins for Barcelona, Real Madrid and much more!

Senegal are winners of the AFCON for the second time! 

Musa and Ryan begin with one of the most dramatic and astonishing international finals of all-time, which saw Senegal beat hosts Morocco in extra-time in a game that saw incredible drama and an amazing winning goal (03:24).

They then move on to Manchester United’s 2-0 win over City in Saturday’s derby (27:29), as well as Michael Carrick’s appointment as head coach until the end of the season. There's discussion about the reaction to the appointment, how free United looked against City, whether this is a sign of things to come or if this is another example of something fans have seen before.

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace have had a horrid week or so (56:35). There's chat about Oliver Glasner announcing his departure, his post match interview that caused tension following the defeat to Sunderland, Marc Guéhi’s move to Manchester City and what Palace do now.

There’s also round-up of the rest of the Premier League, whistles at the Bernabéu and much more!

Some clichés are clichés for a reason and, this weekend, the magic of the FA cup truly lived up to it. 

But before that, Musa and Ryan begin episode 600 (!!!) with a round-up of the Bundesliga’s return (02:59), the AFCON quarter-finals (06:23), Inter and Napoli’s 2-2 draw (10:53), plus Barcelona’s win over Real Madrid in the Supercopa de España.

Then, it’s onto the FA Cup third round, starting with Macclesfield’s incredible win to knock holders Crystal Palace out (15:35), plus some other key results, Manchester United’s defeat to Brighton and some flowers for Danny Welbeck (26:38). Then, there’s a bit of a conversation about the FA Cup’s continued revival in an ever increasing football calendar.
