    Could You Root For Your Team To Lose?

    Could You Root For Your Team To Lose?

    With Tottenham - Manchester City happening just hours before recording, we debate if you could ever root for your team to lose before pivoting to Old Trafford Falls, how many players Man United will try to offload, Aston Villa’s weird style of play, Jesse Marsch’s crazy title with Canada, and our Heroes & Villains of the Week. Plus, Tim is adding another Horsey to the House!

    Erik ten Hag & David Moyes… Is This Our Fault?

    Erik ten Hag & David Moyes… Is This Our Fault?

    David Moyes is on the way out, and Erik ten Hag (or Peter Griffin, if you listen to Dunny) may soon follow him. We’re back to discuss Manchester United’s embarrassing loss to Crystal Palace, the potential end of Casemiro’s career at the top level, Tom’s problem with the phrase “be careful what you wish for,” Crystal Palace being fun again, Lionel Messi’s absolute masterclass, Erling Haaland’s petulance (and why Dunny loved it), Ed Sheeran sponsoring newly-promoted Ipswich Town, the continuing drama at Everton, Kai Havertz’s incredibly annoying dive and Tom’s final David Moyes soliloquy. Sorry Tim!

    Arsenal Triumphant & Mo Salah Lashes Out at Jurgen Klopp

    The guys recap a thrilling North London Derby, including Arsenal’s resilience, Tottenham’s exciting but naive style, Cristian Romero’s incredible second half performance and more.

    Man United’s Arrogance Breaks Dunny

    Man United’s Arrogance Breaks Dunny

    Manchester United nearly blew it against Coventry and Dunny is pissed. Antony reacts to the win like a child. Coventry fans enjoyed the loss more than Manchester United fans enjoyed the win. The League Cup is better without the top teams. Nottingham Forest’s owner forgot to log out of the club’s official Twitter account. Pep Guardiola speaks out about fixture congestion again. It’s time to celebrate West Ham’s European journey. Endrick has an insane contract with his partner. And Tom had terrible luck going to games this weekend. We cover it all on this episode of Week in the Tackle! Sorry Tim.

    Arsenal & Liverpool Blow It

    Arsenal & Liverpool Blow It

    Tom and Dunny recap a potential title-deciding weekend in the Premier League including Arsenal’s loss to Unai Emery and Aston Villa, Liverpool firing blanks, people criticizing Crystal Palace for actually trying and the issue with Manchester City winning the league again. They then turn their attention to Cole Palmer’s incredible performance against Everton, Erik ten Hag’s lack of leadership, Messi Mania making its way to Kansas City and Osasuna’s bid for the worst penalty kick of all time. Sorry Tim.

Not to be missed

Tom Rennie was a favorite of mine on Grumpy Pundits and I enjoyed him even more during his interactions with Brian Dunseth. Now that they’re on separate shows this is my way to get my Rennie/Dunny fix. If you like honest, if a bit cranky, view on world football don’t miss this podcast.

The Bar

When we talk about setting the bar for accurate, intelligent, exchange, this is it. Quite frankly, needs to be the bar for everything.

Not sorry Tim.
