Leeds, Arsenal and Dodgy Firesticks

Can Arsenal’s fans finally unclench?

I mean, seriously. You’ve beaten Leeds 4-0, Aston Villa have lost at home to Brentford and Manchester City have somehow squandered a two goal lead at Spurs. This might just be your year… We’ve got news on everything across Europe including the surprise title race potential in Germany, Marcus Rashford hitting double figures for Barcelona and the 23rd time that the Pozzo Family have had to look for a new manager. And this time, from the sounds of it, it wasn’t even their fault.  Plus…news of a brief hiatus… Presenter: Iain Macintosh Audio Producer: Helena Fremantle Check out our Book of the Week: https://www.pitchpublishing.co.uk/shop/once-upon-time-la-liga [https://www.pitchpublishing.co.uk/shop/once-upon-time-la-liga]

Leeds, Arsenal and Dodgy Firesticks

Leeds vs Arsenal is the big game this weekend, it will have as much of an impact on the relegation battle as it will the title race and almost no-one in the UK will be able to watch it. Legally… Is that right? Is the TV blackout working? Are you even that bothered when you have the tantalising prospect of Spurs vs Man City to look forward to? All of this and more in your oven fresh TRK FC.  Presenter: Iain Macintosh Audio Producer: Helena Fremantle

Abraham returns to Villa…and what’s wrong with Brighton?

Tammy Abraham has returned to Aston Villa in an £18.25m deal that might just have an impact on the title race. And possibly the England squad too… Plus, what’s wrong with Brighton? They’ve only won one of their last ten games. Andy Naylor joins us from The Athletic.  And if you think that’s bad, what about Coventry? They looked dead certs for promotion a couple of months ago, but they’ve only won four of their last eleven. Simon Lillibury from the That Cov Pod is here to tell us more.  Presenter: Iain Macintosh Audio Producer: Helena Fremantle Guests: Andy Naylor, Simon Lillibury Check out That Cov Pod: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/that-cov-pod/id1761786736 [https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/that-cov-pod/id1761786736] Check out Simon’s Championship YouTube content: https://www.youtube.com/@SimonLillibury [https://www.youtube.com/@SimonLillibury] And check out TheAthletic.com [http://theathletic.com/]

Erm…are Man Utd good again?

I know, I know, we’ve been here before. But that’s two games, two wins for Michael Carrick and they were against two opponents who are scrapping it out for the title. Is it time to re-consider the whole caretaker manager idea and just give him the job properly? We talk to Daniel Storey.  And what’s going on in Germany? Hoffenheim appear to be third. We check in with Seb Stafford Bloor to find out more about Christain Ilzer, the man who will almost certainly be Bournemouth’s next boss.  And there’s all of the other stuff too, give us ten minutes or so, we’ll give you piles of football.  Presenter: Iain Macintosh Audio Producer: Helena Fremantle Guests: Daniel Storey, Seb Stafford Bloor

Are Man Utd back, or was that another false dawn?

I mean, come on. How many times have you fallen for it? How many times have to seen Manchester United suddenly play well and you’ve thought, “Hey, maybe this time they’ve really turned a corner?” FA Cup Final 2024? You are with friends, sir or madam, we all fell for that one. But what about now?  Plus, we have the usual full preview of the weekend’s action and the weirdest feeling that City might lose to Wolves…. Presenter: Iain Macintosh Audio Producer: Helena Fremantle
