  Episode 218 - Champions League Takeaways: Arsenal Have a Gyökeres Problem 10.09.2026 46min

  The Champions League is back. Patrick and Hayden break down the opening round of the league phase. Real Madrid beat Inter Milan 2-1, but the performance raises real questions about their defensive cohesion in transition, especially in wide areas. Arsenal cruise past Napoli on over 4 xG, though Viktor Gyokeres' fit up front is still an open question. Liverpool see off a well-organised Atletico Madrid side that caused real problems in behind their back line. Plus: Aston Villa's promising first half against Club Brugge, Manchester City's Erling Haaland problem, and rampant starts from Barcelona and PSG.

  Episode 216 - Winners And Losers Of The Summer Transfer Window 02.09.2026 1t 12min

  Patrick and Ted wrap up the entire summer transfer window, going club by club through who actually improved their squad, who overpaid, and who's already in trouble two games into the season. Chelsea spent over 400 million and still turned a profit, while Spurs spent a fortune on players Ted and Patrick mostly like and still can't win a game. Man City loaded up on midfielders, Liverpool came away with real gaps after missing on several targets including a late run at Cody Gakpo, and Arsenal ended the window looking like the team nobody actually caught. They also work through the promoted clubs, the windows that missed completely, and the few teams who found real value shopping outside the usual markets.

Ali Maxwell of the Not the Top 20 podcast joins the show for a special crossover episode looking at the entire English football pyramid, not just the top of it. From the "pepification" of the Championship to why defense wins promotion out of League Two, Ali and HVB trace how teams build themselves up the divisions, then ask what it takes for Coventry, Ipswich and Hull to actually stick around at the top.

  Patrick and Neel run through the top four races in Spain and Italy for 2026/27.

Then onto transfers: Real Madrid closing in on Diamond and what it means for Vinicius, Liverpool's interest in Ezri Konsa amid a shaky back line, and Chelsea bringing in Danny Welbeck and Jordan Henderson to steady the dressing room.

  Spain complete a dominant World Cup with the most one-sided final in decades, and Patrick and Neel break down exactly how they shut Argentina out of the game.

Then it's on to the transfer news: Chelsea's £117m deal for Morgan Rogers, whether the fee makes any sense, and what it means for their Financial Fair Play situation heading into the rest of the window.

  Episode 202 - This Is The Only Way England Can Contain Messi and Spain Have to Stop Being Spain 13.07.2026 57min

  The World Cup semifinal bracket is set, and Ted and Hayden Van Brewer break down both matchups along with a full slate of transfer news. They dig into whether France vs Spain risks being a dull one, and why Spain might need to abandon their usual patient build-up for something more end-to-end. Then it's England vs Argentina, where the Arsenal comparison from earlier in the week gets fully explored: an England side that suffers defensively, struggles to control games, and may need Reece James's fitness gamble to pay off if they want to deny Argentina the ball and neutralise Messi. On the transfer side: Barcelona's low-cost move for Karim Adeyemi, Chelsea's crowded winger situation and Garnacho's uncertain next step, Liverpool bringing in a more traditional six, and Manchester United's Tielemans and Andre Santos double-signing to rebuild their midfield.

  Episode 201 - Messi Can't Win The World Cup Without This Player + The France Weakness Morocco Can Exploit 08.07.2026 57min

  Argentina survived Egypt, Switzerland ground past Colombia, and the World Cup quarterfinal bracket is set. Ted and Hayden Van Brewer break down all four matchups, plus two transfers to know before the weekend. They dig into Argentina's missing piece since Ángel Di María left the picture, and why Giuliano Simeone might be the answer against Switzerland. England vs Norway comes down to wingers versus fullbacks, with Alexander Nusa singled out as the player who needs to step up. On the other side of the draw, they explain why Spain should be favourites against Belgium despite lacking their usual cutting edge, and why Morocco's patient possession style makes them a genuinely dangerous matchup for France. Then it's transfers: Jed Spence's rumoured move to Everton, Newcastle's teenage Ajax midfielder Steur, and why PSG might be ready to sell 18-year-old Ibrahim Mbaye.
