Hello and welcome to the Late Kick-Off Football Podcast episode 186!
Jamie and Mike dive headfirst into a packed weekend of football, with the Premier League firmly centre stage.
We begin by reflecting on our clubs’ misfortunes, from Dunfermline Athletic’s narrow defeat to Ayr United to Aberdeen’s bruising encounters with Sparta Prague and Celtic (02:00)
From there, we move into our Moments of the Week, including Fulham’s Monday night win over Nottingham Forest (06:20) and Arsenal’s gritty victory at Everton as Mikel Arteta marked six years in charge amid lingering concerns about cutting edge and consistency (07:30).
The bulk of the show focuses on three Premier League marquee matchups. Aston Villa’s historic run continues with a statement win over Manchester United, prompting debate over results versus performance, Unai Emery’s tactical edge, and Ruben Amorim’s ongoing struggles (08:55). Leeds dismantled Crystal Palace with ruthless efficiency from set pieces, while the emergence of a 16-year-old academy debutant offers a silver lining for the Eagles (17:50). In north London, Liverpool edged a chaotic contest against Spurs, though the potential long-term injury to Alexander Isak casts a shadow over their momentum (26:00).
We then round off the analysis with Two Things We Learned, covering Wolves’ alarming slide toward relegation (36:40), Manchester City’s relentless standards under Pep Guardiola (38:45), Bournemouth’s frustrating mid-table stagnation (42:55), and Newcastle’s inability to protect leads after yet another collapse from a winning position (45:10).
Finally, there’s only one candidate for Bin Juice Game of the Week (49:40), as Brighton and Sunderland serve up a dour goalless draw at the Amex. We assess the Seagull’s attacking malaise, Sunderland’s growing resilience away from home, and whether a teenage Greek prospect could provide a spark against Arsenal next time out.
