Edouard Mendy cost Chelsea three points as club sinks like stone in the table Dec 06, 2021

Having gone ahead through a Thiago Silva goal, Edouard Mendy gave away a penalty and then despite Mason Mount restoring the lead, Chelsea allowed the home side to score twice in the second half, the frustrating winner coming late on as Edouard Mendy was caught snoozing.

"The biggest problem at Manchester United" scores two more against Arsenal Dec 03, 2021

Show notes

Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player in history to score 800 top-level career goals when he struck twice for Manchester United in a 3-2 win over Arsenal on Thursday, yet some people like Nick Stampar and Karaan Mehrottra still think he's been a bad signing.

Is Ronaldo surplus to requirements at Manchester United? Nov 28, 2021

Show notes

The super-safe game plan, with Cristiano Ronaldo dropped to the bench, worked for Manchester United. Hitting Chelsea on the counterattack, with Jadon Sancho scoring his first Premier League goal, and grabbing a point is the type of damage limitation-mode United is in this season. Snatching a 1-1 draw on Sunday – after home humiliations to Liverpool and Manchester City in the fading light of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's reign – gives Ralf Rangnick a strong platform to build on.

According to The Athletic, "Ralf Rangnick has reached an agreement with Manchester United to become their interim manager. The 63-year-old, who is seen as the ‘godfather’ of modern coaching in Germany, is leaving his job as head of sports and development at Lokomotiv Moscow to take up the role." The Legend and SGP discuss what this means for God's team.

A caretaker manager before an interim manager Nov 22, 2021

Show notes

As often stated, "Nice guys don't finish first," holds to be true as Manchester United fire class act Ole Gunnar Solskjær. The replacement plan: a caretaker manager before an interim manager before the actual next manager. Does Manchester United and The Glazer family know what they're doing here? The Legend and SGP discuss.

Show notes

There's been a power shift within CONCACAF during this year's final round of qualifying for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, as evidenced by Canada's epic 2-1 win over the Mexicans on a balls cold Tuesday night before 44,212 spectators at Edmonton's Commonwealth Stadium.

Newcastle's Eddie Howe is a coward for dodging questions on Mohammed bin Salman's ownership of club Nov 11, 2021

Show notes

At Eddie Howe's first press conference as manager of Newcastle United, he totally dodged the question of Saudi Arabia’s appalling human rights record and pretended that football is merely played in a vacuum. Not a great show of leadership from a manager who must lead Newcastle out of the bottom three spots.

Liverpool suffered a shock first defeat of the season against West Ham United with goalkeeper Alisson at fault for all three goals in David Moyes' side's 3-2 win.

West Ham moved above Liverpool into third place in the Premier League and stalled Jurgen Klopp's side's unbeaten run of 25 matches in all competitions.

This got the EPLpod boyz thinking: Are West Ham United actually good now?

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is a loser Nov 04, 2021

Show notes

Since the takeover twenty years ago, Spurs have won just one (rather meaningless) trophy, with this coming in the form of the 2008 League Cup (Tottenham Hotspur). Levy's lack of investment coupled with his poor decision making with managers has led Spurs to years of trophyless seasons. If anyone should go, it should be him!
