City's Dry Pitch, Bruno’s Free-Kick Trick & Arsenal’s Title Collapse!

Welcome back to It’s All Kicking Off!This week, Ian and Chris dive straight into the chaos, starting with Man City’s complaints about the dry pitch at Forest - again! Chris breaks down what this really means, and we ask: do City even deserve a Champions League spot next season? With the Premier League likely securing five spots, are we rewarding mediocrity?Meanwhile, Forest’s defence is making waves, and goalkeeper Matz Sels, once fourth choice in January, is proving to be an absolute steal. But over at City, Pep Guardiola seems unfazed about the Club World Cup, happily sending the wives and girlfriends while he plays golf. Are they just tossing it off?Over at Liverpool, the Darwin Núñez red card drama rages on - was it the right call? Plus, Jurgen Klopp says he’ll be at the title parade if they win the league, but should he stay away and let the players take centre stage?Arsenal’s season has gone from title challenge to surrender. Just one win in four since that City hammering - why haven’t they even made Liverpool sweat?And at Manchester United, fans are protesting - but does any of it really matter when the football isn’t up to scratch? Plus, the Bruno Fernandes free-kick controversy: was the wall actually too far back, or was it just classic Bruno bending the rules?All that and more on this week’s episode of It’s All Kicking Off!Hosts: Ian Ladyman & Chris SuttonProducer: Alex Graham Learn more about your ad choices.
