Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents. The summer transfer market has gone crazy, with seemingly every player quoted at £100m or more, so today we’re running through some of the blockbuster moves we might see and asking whether those players are worth the price. Why is everyone thirsting for Julian Alvarez? Is Elliot Anderson as good a prospect as Declan Rice? We look at a raft of wingers, including Rogers, Barcola, El Mala, and Summerville, as well as Newcastle target and Switzerland star Johan Manzambi.

Then we open up the Burn Book, this week discussing hotel nights, new experiences with old friends, and changing barber.

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents. This week we’re looking back at our worst transfer XIs from the autumn, to see what we got wrong and what we got right. How do we judge someone like Gyokeres? Are United fans deluded about Cunha? And is Mateus Fernandes not only good, but worth the £85m West Ham want for him?

Then we open up the Burn Book, this week discussing Instagram art, housework, and pineapple on pizza.

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents. This week we’re discussing the controversy surrounding West Ham’s disallowed equaliser against Arsenal, and the dominance of set-pieces in this year’s PL. What has led to the current situation on corners? Are dead-balls really to blame for the boring tactical landscape? And we get into possible ways to fix the problem, from refinements to VAR to wholesale rule changes.

Then we open up the Burn Book, this week discussing sneakers, shower accessories, and “You couldn’t write it”.

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents. This week we’re settling every remaining question for the run-in, giving our verdict on the title race, the competition for European spots, and the relegation battle. Do Arsenal still have a shot? Can Chelsea halt the free fall? And how might the last few fixtures favour West Ham?

Then we open up the Burn Book, this week discussing Pete’s daughter learning to walk, as well as my “hot or nots” for the summer of 2026.

Hey everyone and welcome back to Unseen Incidents! The games are coming fast now, and unfortunately we have to return to Spurs again, to talk about their risky appointment of Roberto de Zerbi. The Italian is undoubtedly talented and has a track record of attractive and effective attacking football, but does he make sense for Tottenham right now? What are the real requirements for a manager aiming to keep a team in the Prem? And what would it take for RDZ to fulfil them?

Then we get into the Burn Book, with short hair, wasting your own time, and reconnecting with old friends.

What’s up everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents! On this week’s show, we’re getting into the problem which is the Premier League team of the season. With so few attackers shining, and presumptive title winners Arsenal powered by collective effort, not special individuals, who are the division's outstanding players? We pick our favourites from keeper to striker, discussing Haaland's drop-off, Rice vs Fernandes, breakout fullbacks, and much more.

Then we have the Burn Book, which this time features football boots, the Kindle, and "buy once, buy well".

What's up everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents. We’re returning to Tottenham this week, who now look in serious danger of the drop after a succession of bad results and red cards. What would relegation do to the club? How would they retool for life in the championship? Who would be sold, who would stay? And how could they reestablish themselves as a Premier League side?

Then we open up the Burn Book, this week discussing the Six Nations, being told off by your child's teacher, and LinkedIn influencers.

Thanks for listening!

Hello and welcome back to Unseen Incidents! This week we're taking on the big question: are Arsenal about to bottle it? The Gunners have been here before, but we dig into their previous title challenges, their current form, and our questions around Arteta's tactics to ask how concerned fans should be, and how the club can solidify its grip on the 25/26 trophy.

Then we get into the Burn Book, with I Capture The Castle, the Baftas Tourette/racism controversy, and feeding your baby.

Hey everyone, and thanks for joining us for another episode of Unseen Incidents. This week, we're answering a question on the worst transfers of the last five years. It feels like the big swings at the top of the market have got safer, and there are fewer busts than there used to be, but what makes for a disaster signing? Why do Chelsea and Manchester United make so many? And how are some big flops, like Sancho, Lukaku, and Mudryk, still affecting their teams now?

Then we open up the Burn Book, discussing American politics, meal prep, and curtain-twitching. Have we discussed this before? No-one knows.
