Under The Floodlights

We are back for week 5 of Premier League action and what a week it has been for players getting close to 40. This week we see Mark Noble go full Curb your Enthusiasm, Asmir Begovic and Ben foster are somehow still playing the game. Spurs go back to being Spurs thanks to the Emperor, Norwich are definitely down, all aboard the Naby Keita hype train, and Arsenal win again!

Get Involved!

After a shambolic week off we are back discussing all things PL. But before that we're chatting ticket prices, tennis, Blues Clues and Amazon documentaries.

Normal service then resumes as Spurs lose, Conor Gallagher is a baller, John McGinn shows why he is the acid test, Ronaldo obviously scored and we chat why Soccer Aid is now in the mud.

Get Involved!

Week 3 of the season and what a story that has unfolded this week ... Moussa Sissoko has made his way to Watford. We discuss this big news alongside other transfers of Champions League winning centre backs and some bloke who couldn't get it done in Serie A.

Elsewhere we are chatting AFTV, Anthony Taylor stats, Conor Gallagher's UTF POTY campaign, Goodison Park being the centre of the universe and have Wolves become Brighton? We then finish with Ligue 1 finding itself in the mud.

Off next week for international break.

We get our first draws of the season, Dings and Mings combined for an early goal of the season contender, pundits are able to waste our time with Anfield atmosphere cliches rather than tactics again, Man City got their first 5-0 win of the season, Man United remain unbeaten on the road, London remains blue and how have Everton managed to sign Demari Gray for just 1.5 million?

We are back for season 2!

The Euros are in the rear view mirror, pre season is over and we no longer have to watch Germans punch horses at the Olympics. 

Tottenham found a manager, Chelsea found a striker, Guardiola has found another wife playmaker and Steve bruce has found his key card still somehow works for the Newcastle training facility. 

We have fallen in love with Thomas Frank, we have questions about Ben White, Manchester United have themselves a day and Everton's tribute video leaves them in the mud.

On the final episode of the season, the boys announce the winners (and losers) of their end of season awards.

There's a quick debrief on Chelsea's Champions League success, teams of the season are finalised and the guys ruminate on the past 10 months.

Thank you to everyone who's supported and gotten involved with the pod this season. The response to the show has exceeded any and all expectations we had. It's hugely appreciated.

Have a great summer.

Bailey, Christopher & Darren

It's over... it's finally over. The Premier League season draws to a close and this week's podcast runs through the highs and lows for each team this season.

We congratulate champions Manchester City, say 'thanks for coming' to Fulham, West Brom & Fulham and bask in the glory of Leicester missing out on Top 4 again.

Bailey explains how Bayern have already guaranteed themselves another title next season. Christopher (eventually) works out how many players take to the field when Leeds play and Darren discusses his newfound safety after THAT Alisson moment.

Reminder that next week's podcast will be the end of season awards. Keep an eye on our instagram account to get involved with that.

In the warmup to the Champions League final, Man City and Chelsea play out perhaps the most overthought 90 minutes in the history of football.

Leicester put in an 'on the beach' performance against Barcelo... sorry against Newcastle United as Christopher finally accepts he was wrong about the Toon army being relegated.

Do West Ham and Liverpool have any hopes of top 4 football? Who's guilty of trying to receive tactical red cards to get a couple of extra weeks holiday this summer and does anybody know what this new Europa Conference League is all about?

Reminder: No pod next week due to scheduling conflicts (and there being literally nothing for any team to play for). Back again 26/05/21.

Darren's bank holiday weekend is ruined by some protesters in Manchester. The guys discuss their thoughts on the United fans' protest that resulted in Super Sunday being cancelled and left Sky Sports to filibuster 2 hours of live television.

The Premier League's welcomed two very uninteresting inductees to their new Hall of Fame so the boys run through who they'd like to see get the call for this pointless award in the future.

Other talking points this week include Manchester City having the greatest reserve team in the history of the sport; what quality of life can Philippe Coutinho expect should he decide to join Everton this summer and Mateo Kovacic using the Premier League's social media boycott to improve his social capital.

The boys fight through a few technical difficulties in this week's episode. We hope to have these resolved by next week.

The race for a Champions League spot has created some friction between Christopher and Bailey. These last few weeks of the season have the potential to turn very bitter.

In other news, fresh off using the European Super League fiasco to increase their followers on TikTok, Wolves are slapped about by Chris Wood and Burnley. Manchester City win the Carabao Cup for the millionth year in a row as Spurs lose another final. Inconsistencies in the hand ball law are discussed and this week's In the Mud involves an inappropriate motivational speech from Big Dunc.
