Hello and welcome to the Late Kick Off Football Podcast episode 187!
It’s a packed festive edition as the panel works through a busy weekend of football across Scotland and England.
We begin north of the border with derby drama as Dunfermline leave Stark’s Park with a 2-1 win over Raith Rovers, before Dundee United and Aberdeen share the points at Tannadice.
From there, we segue into Moment of the Week, where we get on board again with the Dominic Calvert-Lewin runaway train (05:10), and David Raya making a stunning save to keep Arsenal in front against Brighton (07:15).
Our first Premier League marquee matchup takes us to Selhurst Park, where a depleted Crystal Palace host Tottenham (09:30) and get emptied. We stay in London for late-Saturday drama at Stamford Bridge. Aston Villa come from behind to beat Chelsea 2–1, with Ollie Watkins once again haunting the Blues and Unai Emery’s side matching a club-record winning run (18:50). It’s then a capital hat-trick as we head to Brentford, where Kevin Schade’s treble fires the Bees to a dominant 4–1 win over Bournemouth and into the top half of the table (31:40).
We round things off with Two Things We Learned, Florian Wirtz finally opening his Premier League account for Liverpool (41:30), West Ham’s growing relegation fears (42:35), Manchester City’s latest creative force (49:35), and Ruben Amorim’s puzzling tactical shift at Old Trafford (50:30).
Finally, reluctantly, we acknowledge the Bin Juice Game of the Week – a truly grim goalless draw between Burnley and Everton (52:25), so much so that David Moyes didn't even attempt to sugar coat it.
All reviews, likes, shares and of course listens are hugely appreciated! Why not leave a review right now, it only takes a second!
