Do referees subconsciously favour big clubs, particularly when they’re at home? How do we feel about players mocking each other’s celebrations? Why does Gary think things will definitely come good for Darwin Núñez?
Gary, Alan and Micah also sing the praises of Michael Olise and discuss whether Gareth Southgate should be looking to try and snap him up before he makes a senior international appearance for France.

When Chelsea gets everyone back, makes some new signings, plays well, and starts winning games consistently, they'll be much better than they are now.
Why these are not talk about la liga?
As a Bolton fan, I was almost certain that Conor Bradley (and James Trafford for that matter) would both get loans to promotion-chasing Championship teams and then be ready for the Prem in 24-25 because they were outrageously good for their age and League One level. But to see Bradley putting in these performances as Liverpool and then Trafford, although having a tough time and getting no help from his defenders, is showing his potential with some impressive saves, they’re exceeding even what I thought they could achieve this season.
Question. Did Darwin Nunez hit the woodwork 2 times or 4 times.??? Djordje Petrovic pushed his first effort onto the bar, he pushed his second effort onto the post. That means Nunez hit the woodwork twice. You can not say Nunez hit the woodwork 4 times, when the keeper pushed 2 shots onto the woodwork, if he did not touch them, then its 2 goals for Nunez. the keeper actions were decisive actions, they were saves. Reminder did TTA hit a shot that hit the woodwork and went in off Berd Leno V Fulham and its a own goal due to the keeper touching it. Decisive is what its called when a keeper diverts the ball away or into the nett, so Darwin hit the woodwork 2 times only
Don't forget Johnson did the darts celebration taking piss out of Toney and Maupay as well last night after his goal.
Who are the 11 starters? who you would select, as the best opponent face if they were in a one team (performance based – not by reputation or career)
that whole part of the hitting the "target" off the bar/post was so amazing haha by far the best football podcast (with the likes of ben) and its a joy to watch! might be contract restrictions but getting kate abdo on for a special episode i think would be great too or others for little guest episodes? is that something you 3 have talked about? not every episode of course but i like to see people be able to let loose and not have to watch their words while on tv etc.
Arsenal ended the Ian Rush record of when he scored first they never lost in the 1987 League Cup Final💥💥💥
Not a single comment on Mac Allister?, he was the one who actually ran the show, this sort of jake for all trades he is playing for Jurgen it's getting him even further in his already great level.
The problem might actually be Poch too, beside injuries, constant changes of squad and the lack of a reliable striker since ages
Paul Tierney is woeful 😂
Love Micah but hitting the woodwork is NEVER hitting the target in a million lifetimes!!! 🙂
I don’t think any of them were penalties but Paul Tierney and most of the refs are absolutely awful so what do we expect??!!.
Until the “Old Boys” clubs is removed from the PGMOL as all they do it defend each other and make horrendous decisions week in week out. The best league in the world apparently with the worst officiating!!!. Kind of defeats the object of having such a league!!.
Micah needs to learn the meaning of the word Analogy. Throws it around all the time with about a 30% success rate of it being the correct word 🤣
I think Crystal Palace has the most untapped potential of any team in the prem. If Olise or Eze were at Brighton they would’ve been sold for $100 million years ago.
Caisedo was "unbelievable" at Brighton and see what Poch gets out of him. So, no great hopes for positive change once all the injured come back. Plus, do all other teams play at full strength, injury wise? Newcastle, for sure, don't.
Love that they’re letting Alan loose with the f bombs 😂
Bradley reminded me of a young Gerard
Alan Shearer “that’s what the f&cking net’s there for” – love it!
One of those cases of “if given on the field, VAR won’t overturn”. Problem is with “clear and obvious” – it’s subjective and the VAR officials don’t ever want to embarrass their friends for missing a call on the field.
Great to see you guys with the shackles off…think you might be on to something here 🤣
You lot are honestly amazing!😂😂😂😂 absolutely love when Alan starts swearing 😂😂 Micah's laugh and Gary's sarcasm has me on the floor too😂
Any chance we can carry on not bleeping out the " swear" word's ? First one I've watched where they have remained. Love the content and the banter between the 3 of you 👍👍👍
The bit about putting pressure on young players is definitely something that happens. It is particularly bad with the English media, who hype up player ability and England's chance of winning tournaments to ridiculous levels.
cromulent is my new word
Before the next game y'all should see the Nigeria v. Angola match at AFCON. Some great performances, Moses Simon and Ola Aina in particular and as always Osimhen
Micah is a top guy when he's real.
Lads lads lads, are we missing out on the fact that nkunku got kicked from behind and then flinged his legs backwards. How does that make any sense? Literally doesn't make any sense. Alan had a big fuss about Jota but doesnt care about this one, wonder why. Gallaghers was small contact but its a bad touch and hes only got one aim after that and its to dive
"There was contact" doesn't mean it was a penalty. Never has, never will, its these nonsense comments that cause the league to be plagued by diving. "He felt a touch he should of gone down" no, not ever… if your intention is to score, stand up and be a man, its embarrassing hearing shearer say things like this, he likes to brag about his career, half of his goals would of been 50/50s if they'd of gone to penalties, it doesn't increase your chance to score, stay on your feet and shoot, it's called football, not carpet hugging
honest to God, the banter, the chemistry, the respect between you all is otherworldly. Big Meeks' laugh never fails to put a smile on my face. #RestIsUbiquitous
Neither one of those is a penalty. At some point you have to stop moaning about referees and get on with it. Right? Or is that only when they go against liverpool?
Micah must have swallowed a dictionary 😂
That's like the manager saying, "we were the better side all day," despite losing 2-0. 🤷
Alan shearer is hillarious
Like Spurs are the only team with multiple plays 'out'. Excuses, excuses typical Spursy s***e.
Think Big Meeks needs to look up Analogy!
How can you say Reece James is one of the best RBs when he’s played about six games in two years?
Ah lads, why did you not just record this Friday and review the Thursdays games? West Ham draw? Philips debut performance? And the Manutd thriller? Can Mainoo make the euro squad? 0:24
Nkunkus goal was quality. Hell go double figures this season and 20+ next
Ubiquitous- it’s time to introduce “Micah’s word of the week” slot in the pod
Don’t know if you gents will see this question, but hearing how you spoke about Nunez vs Jesus had me wondering if you could break down just a bit more what makes them different? On the surface their biggest issue seems to be similar in that you mentioned they both struggle to convert their chances, but Nunez seems to have you guys believing he’ll come good, whereas Jesus doesn’t seem to be seen that way. Massive fan of the pod – keep up the great work! #YNWA
Micah, sort your room's reverb out 😂
I think Gary and Alan underestimate just how big Fantasy Prem is. It's all over every workplace up and down the land (and beyond!). It keeps otherwise underwhelming games interesting and is the source of a lot of work banter. It's like betting without the misery.
Wesley Fofana
Reece James
Marc Cucurella Saseta
Romeo Lavia
Robert Sanchez
Trevoh Chalobah
Levi Colwill
Nicolas Jackson
Lesley Ugochukwu
Chelsea's injury list for this game not a game-changing player among them.
Micah laughing at Nunez as if he was playing like cafu back at his days
17:59 ubiquitous.
As an Arsenal fan Jesus is an unbelievable player but not an unbelievable striker. For the balance of the team I think he’d be better out wide and then signing a centre forward. Jesus would be unreal in an old school system with 2 up top
Barkley should never have gone to Chelsea that's a fact, he plays better when there is no real spotlight on him
