Chiefy under pressure at the Phoenix after loss to Jets | Studs Up! Podcast | 17/12/25

Studs Up is a podcast hosted by Auckland-born and bred Riccardo Ball and Wellington’s loudest son, Daniel McHardy. They go head-to-head on all the big football issues from the EPL, Champions League, the A-League, and more. On this week's episode: Ric and Daniel start the show by looking at the A-League men's as the Wellington Phoenix went down 3-1 to the Newcastle Jets, and then discuss Auckland FC's 2-1 win over the Central Coast Mariners. We then recap the Dettol National League final as Auckland City FC defeated Wellington Olympic on penalties. The lads then deep dive into European football with a discussion around the EPL leaders, Manchester United's 4-4 draw with Bournemouth as well as the relegation battle. Plus, Riccardo and Daniel dish out their best bets of the week with betcha to hopefully fill your beer fridge. *betcha is R18, please bet responsibly.
