  Sep 14, 202644 min

  Manchester United had a two-man advantage for 70 minutes against Manchester City and still couldn't find a way through.

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

  Sep 10, 202646 min

  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

  Sep 2, 20261h 12m

  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.

  Aug 26, 202650 min

  What does it actually take for a promoted team to survive in the Premier League? 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.
