Chris Lumsdon, Skip Boyd and Dylan McGeouch return for another episode packed with Premier League predictions, Carlisle United analysis, football stories and plenty of nonsense.The lads look back on their recent conversation with Peter “Murf” Murphy, correcting his Carlisle United appearance record to more than 470 games and discussing the versatility, intelligence and mental strength that made him such an important player.They also review a recent visit to Brunton Park, praising the improvements made to Carlisle’s matchday experience, fan zone and hospitality facilities before analysing the team’s performance on the pitch.Attention then turns to the Premier League as the lads debate whether Phil Foden is overrated—or simply being wasted in the wrong position. They make their top-four predictions, discuss Arsenal’s chances of winning the title and identify the teams they believe could be heading for relegation.There’s also criticism of Russell Martin’s determination to play out from the back, memories of high-pressure play-off matches and a debate about some of football’s toughest old-school players.Plus, the lads play Who Am I?, reveal a disastrous Tinder catfishing experience and discuss the madness of waking up at 6am for a holiday sunbed—before discovering the price of a McDonald’s at Dalaman Airport.Also featuring:• Peter Murphy’s corrected Carlisle United record• Carlisle’s improved matchday experience• Is Phil Foden overrated or being played out of position?• Can Arsenal win the Premier League?• Top-four and relegation predictions• Russell Martin’s controversial playing style• The pressure of two-legged play-off ties• Football’s toughest old-school players• Who Am I?• A disastrous Tinder catfish• Holiday sunbed wars• A £70 airport McDonald’sTIMESTAMPS00:00 Skip returns from holiday 01:15 Peter Murphy’s Carlisle career, mentality and tactics 10:35 Introduction 10:46 Lummy appears on the big screen at Brunton Park 11:31 Carlisle United’s matchday experience and performance 18:10 Phil Foden, title predictions and relegation contenders 30:32 Dating apps and a disastrous Tinder catfish 36:44 Who Am I? 46:28 The pressure of play-off football 56:04 Who were football’s toughest hard men? 01:03:07 Holiday sunbed wars and a £70 McDonald’s 01:06:43 Final thoughtsSubscribe to 3 In The Middle for weekly episodes featuring former professionals Chris Lumsdon and Skip Boyd, current player Dylan McGeouch and special guests from across football.#3InTheMiddle #PhilFoden #Arsenal #CarlisleUnited #PremierLeague #FootballPodcast
