The 40 Yard Switch

In the first week of a month of episodes without Wilbur, Yannick Hansen returns to guest host alongside Woody. On our minds this week: discussing how Liverpool have looked so far with their rejuvenated midfield, the Arsenal goalkeeper situation, and if Aston Villa are the real deal this season as their impressive home record continues.

In what will be the last episode with Wilbur for a month, we took a look at the qualifying groups for Euro 2024 as it starts to get to the pointy end of the process to secure a spot. We then recap whats gone on in the Women's Super League in the opening few rounds before looking ahead to some enticing fixtures this weekend as the Premier League returns. 

Arsenal defeated Manchester City in the Premier League for the first time since 2015, and Woody is over the moon with it. Elsewhere, Everton looked the best they have so far this season against Bournemouth and Chelsea look like they're starting to cook as well. West Ham United seem to be back to their best too, but players from Chelsea and West Ham who are excelling can't seem to get an England call up. We go through all of that and more this week including a recap of some notable moments in the Champions League from last week.

In a bonkers week of Premier League drama, the controversy around VAR reached boiling point as a result of the incident during the Tottenham vs Liverpool match. We spend a little too much time talking about that, as well as some other glaring missed VAR calls, before moving on to discuss plenty of other notable news from the weekend. Did Brighton get found out by Aston Villa? Is Rodri the most important player for Man City? Have Wolves backed the wrong manager? Listen and find out!

Since we last recorded, the Champions League has returned, a huge weekend in Premier League took place and overnight there was third round of League Cup action. We go pick through some of the more notable talking points from the week (sans League Cup), before looking ahead once again looking ahead to the weekend for the feature fixtures in Matchday Seven.

Matchday Five of the Premier League was full of intrigue and drama, with Spurs leaving it to the final minute of injury time to beat Sheffield and Brighton putting Manchester United to sword. We go through all of it and more from the weekends action, before looking ahead to next week's key match ups and some of the more interesting games from the return of the Champions League!

We're back after a week off for our health, and this week Woody has got several bones to pick with England manager Gareth Southgate while we talk about the international break. We then reflect back on Round 4 of the English Premier League before looking ahead to some intriguing fixtures in Matchday 5. 

The aftermath of the Women's World Cup Final continues with the ongoing saga involving the president of the Spanish FA, Luis Rubiales. After discussing the situation we move on to talking all things Premier League for game week three, before giving predictions for some huge fixtures coming up in round four.

After a wild four weeks, the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup came to a close with Spain being crowed champions for the first time ever. We look back on the final and the tournament that was, before discussing the impact the tournament had more specifically on Australia, and women's football in the country. We then deliberate over our team of the tournament, before switching gears to talk about the key moments from the weekend's Premier League action. 

We have reached the final week of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup and after a weekend of breathless quarter-finals we're well and truly into the business end of the tournament. We go through each quarter-final before reacting to Spain's defeat of Sweden in the first semi-final and finally we talk about the big one tonight between the Matilda's and the Lionesses. Shifting gears, we then go through all the notable moments of what was a big weekend of action as the Premier League got underway for Season 23/24.
