Craig and Mani are back for some more Cherry Picking as we look forward to the game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and ask the question - is any player worth £100 million?

We are also back on the subject of VAR (surprise, surprise) after Wolves challenged the Premier League on the state of it plus we also look at if Manchester City will fall letting Arsenal in or if the title will be going back to the Etihad (again).

Let us know your comments again and heres to an epic end of the season!

Imagine it. Your a player, its the 89th minute, you score a goal for your club that could be the difference between European Football, The Title or Relegation and then in the corner of your eye you see the dreaded sign.

Checking Goal? Checking Foul?

Your heart sinks. The referee has given it, the crowd celebrate wildly in jubilation. Surely theres nothing wrong.

Then confirmation. Someone not even in the stadium has disallowed it. Down and out you continue the game. You lose. Title gone, relegation confirmed... whatever the scenario.

And then you find out its wrong!

Well Wolverhampton Wanders today have put a proposal in place to SCRAP VAR and return to the days prior to long stoppages, confusion and frustration. And bloody hell, we are right behind them!

Craig explains here the arguments proposed by Wolves and the counter argument from the Premier League that supposedly 82% of the decisions were correct before VAR and that has increased to 96% of the decisions are correct with VAR (what basis?) before he gives his expert analysis on why it should be scrapped not just for clubs and fans but also referees.

Here are Wolves' arguments in all their glory:

- Impact on goal celebrations and the spontaneous passion that makes football special.

- Frustration and confusion inside stadiums due to lengthy VAR checks and poor communication.

- A more hostile atmosphere with protests, booing of Premier League anthem and chants against VAR.

- Overreach of VAR's original purpose to correct clear and obvious mistakes, now overanalysing subjective decisions and compromising the game's fluidity and integrity.

- Diminished accountability of on-field officials, due to safety net of VAR, leading to an erosion of authority on the pitch.

- Continued errors despite VAR, with supporters unable to accept human error after multiple views and replays, damaging confidence in officiating standards.

- Disruption of the Premier League's fast pace with lengthy VAR checks and more added time, causing matches to run excessively long.

- Constant discourse about VAR decisions often overshadowing the match itself, and tarnishing the reputation of the league.

- Erosion of trust and reputation, with VAR fuelling completely nonsensical allegations of corruption.

We have another very special interview for AFC Bournemouth and Brentford fans (and I am sure there will be many other music listeners) ahead of the game between two teams who have followed each other around the leagues but now find themselves in the dizzy heights of the Premier League - believe it or not, out of all the current sides we have played the Bees the most!

Richard Archer from the hit Indie band of the 2000's HARD-Fi who are known for singles such as Cash Machine and Hard To Beat joined us for a chat about his entire career including touring and playing 5 Nights Continuously which were all sold out at the Brixton Academy.

We discuss from humble beginnings before HARD-Fi to the challenges of recording in a makeshift studio which is now the famous The Cherry Lips Hits Facility to performing and working with some of the most talented people on the planet.

We also look at the future which will be of interest to any fan of the genre and era!

You NEED to go to https://www.hardfiofficial.com/ and https://hard-fi.planet.fans/aaa/register

Also do check out Richard's fantastic acoustic performance of the whole of the Stars of CCTV album which can be found here - https://youtu.be/sdcFRJHnyBU?si=zXdmj2okgk2KhT_Q

Thank you to Richard for joining us on this exclusive interview and we wish the band all the very best for the up and coming venture and future releases.

We welcome Brentford to Dean Court this Saturday and we have another special guest for you!

Craig welcomed on The Bluetones Guitarist Adam Devlin to discuss his career, Britpop, Bands, Oasis and even Neil Kinnock's bath (Is it a true story? You will find out!)

As you will remember the single cover of Slight Return featured a Bee - was that done on purpose or coincidence? And find out the journey from Expecting to Fly to touring for 9 years straight!

Brentford's season has been dogged with injuries and a suspension to main striker Ivan Toney. We also talked to Adam about his favourite players throughout the years and the move from Griffin Park to the GTech Community Stadium.

They are back! Craig and Mani take to the centre circle again for some more Cherry Picking following our 3-0 defeat by the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. We discuss the Havertz trip, the goal that should have stood but also whether midfielder Ryan Christie should have seen red well before those incidents ever took place.

We also look at the Lloyd Kelly situation which looks to be resulting in the defender leaving Dean Court and social media issues.

We also cover off the emergence of "Fan Girl" accounts like Leah Ray who provoke and have caused issues for players such as Declan Rice and his partner and why this activity needs to stop.

Plus we talk Leicester, Ipswich and whose joining them as well as briefly touching on this weekends game against Brentford.

Do not miss your dosage of Cherry Picking!

AFC Bournemouth last time out ran out winners against a Brighton & Hove Albion side who finished sixth in the Premier League last term. The Cherries are in fine form which is the last thing the residents of N7 want to hear!

The Gunners are aiming to bring the Premier League crown back to the Emirates, 20 years after they won their last top flight trophy and sit in pole position but with Manchester City and their billions (plus 115 charges but we won't mention that) sat behind them, any slip now could prove costly and critical in the title race.

We welcomed back onto UTCIAD our friends at @AFTVmedia - best known as Arsenal Fan TV - to discuss the season, the criticism last term of Mikel Arteta, what Arsenal fans think of our manager Andoni Iraola and how he compares to his compatriot, The Declan Rice effect, the long awaited return of Jurrien Timber and if he may play and if the Gunners can do it.

Joining us from AFTV is one of the lead presenters on the show - Cecil Jee Thomas - who is well known by a certain James Hill and who is optimistic heading into this encounter.

Can and more importantly will Iraola want to ruin the title charge so well managed by his friend and fellow Basque manager Mikel Arteta or will Arteta outfox the new kid on the block?

Let us know your thoughts below.

We are back to home comforts this weekend as we welcome Brighton and Hove Albion to Dean Court, a side who have done fantastically well under Roberto De Zerbi and even beat the likes of Ajax, Marseille, AEK Athens and AS Roma on an impressive European journey.

AFC Bournemouth and Andoni Iraola can draw comparisons in how our club is being ran to our friends down the South Coast. Brighton have been built on shrewd signings, bringing in young stars before selling for a profit under inspirational chairman Tony Bloom.

We welcomed on leading Brighton YouTuber  @LUKELiNXBRIGHTON  to find out more about how the Seagulls have soared and achieved massive success. With the sides swapping places midweek, can the Cherries regain control?

Craig and Mani are back as we once again go Cherry Picking covering the most important topics in the Premier League this week.

Firstly we cover our games against Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers and ask about Gary O'Neil's comments. Misjudged or fair? VAR correct call?

We then look at the other massive story which included Nottingham Forest caused a Twitter (or less commonly known by Elon Musk's new name X) meltdown by telling us Stuart Attwell is a Luton Town fan! We review the decisions that went against Forest in their 2-0 defeat to Everton and ask if they have a case and if the inconsistency is killing the integrity of the competition.

Let us know what you think...

In the words of Mark Clattenburg - TWITTER READY! FOREST READY!

Following our game at Villa Park , we travel to Wolverhampton to take on former manager Gary O'Neil and his Wolves side who have been fantastic so far this season but it could have been even better with many sources saying they have lost as many as 11 points through awful decisions - which if they had gained, they would currently sit in 6th spot.

We welcomed on Johnny Phillips from Sky Sports to discuss Wolverhampton Wanderers and the side, the early loss of top winger Pedro Neto and how Gary has adapted, the cruel and nasty abuse Gary O'Neil suffered and why he has proved everyone wrong and the decisions that have gone against our former boss.

Let us know what you think the score will be and if Wolves have been treated harshly this term.

Craig and Mani are back as we review the recent draw against Manchester United. But following another turbulent week in the top flight we look at whether Richard Masters knows what he is doing.

We cover everything from the Everton and Nottingham Forest situations, the failure to hit Manchester City and Chelsea with the same brush, the VAR errors and refereeing mishaps which Wolves in particular have fallen foul of, Profit and Sustainability and now the situation with the FA Cup.

We look at the situation and ask how can it be fixed and does Masters needs to go.
