2025/26 Premier League Season Review - Part 1
Send us Fan MailIt's been a while, both since our last episode and since we recorded this one... (apologies in advance!)The dust has settled on an intriguing, if somewhat dull, 2025/26 Premier League season. In this episode, we unpack how the first seven clubs fared (by alphabetical order). Starting and spending the first third of the episode on our beloved Arsenal (well, at least for one of us), we discuss whether the Gunners deserve a lot of credit for winning the league or whether they won simply because most of the other top teams were so poor; the positives and negatives of the style of play Arsenal used this season; and, unbeliveably, whether Mikel Arteta is the right man to continue leading the club (this was only a point of discussion because one of us believes he isn't... and it's not the person writing this podcast description!).The rest of the episode covers the ups of Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Brentford and Brighton, the downs of Burnley, and whatever the hell happened at Chelsea this year.Stay tuned for Part 2, in which the performances of the other 13 clubs are analysed!Get involved at our socials!Instagram - @tcf_sportTikTok - @tcf_sportYouTube - TCF Sport

102. Salah vs Liverpool, and will Glasner be at Crystal Palace next season? | Season 25/26, Episode 6
Send us Fan MailAll is not well at Liverpool Football Club... Despite an excellent win at Inter, Mo Salah's comments at the weekend threw another spanner into an already unsettled season. We start this episode of the TCF Sport podcast by discussing whether we think Salah was right to say what he said, what it means for his and Arne Slot's futures at Anfield, and how the situation can be resolved.Crystal Palace are next on the agenda after Oliver Glasner also spoke candidly following the Eagles' defeat against Manchester United. The Austrian is clearly building something special at Selhurst Park, but will he still be at the helm next season? The answer to that question could depend on how heavily the Board invest in the squad in January...Arsenal suffered their first defeat since August following a late Emiliano Buendia winner at Villa Park. More worringly for the Gunners, that's now three big away Premier League games in a row they've failed to win. So, is Mikel Arteta's side good enough to win the Premier League? Or will they lose out to Manchester City for the third time in four seasons?Of course, Aston Villa themselves can't be discounted after winning 9 of their last 10 top flight fixtures. Or can they? We discuss whether Unai Emery's side is in the title race, and what's next for Harvey Elliott after his move to Villa Park hasn't worked out.Talking points around Tottenham, Newcastle, Everton, Sunderland and Wolves follow, before we finish the episode by reacting to the draw for the 2026 World Cup draw. This includes an excellent idea for how the format of the World Cup can be improved, so stick around!Get involved at our socials!Instagram - @tcf_sportTikTok - @tcf_sportYouTube - TCF Sport

101. Relegation decided already and is Thomas Frank under pressure at Tottenham? | Season 25/26, Episode 5
Send us Fan MailA dramatic international break is over, and domestic football is back uninterrupted until March!While this episode was recorded before Matchweek 12 began, both the relegation battle and Tottenham's turgid performances were high on the agenda. For one of us, it's clear which three clubs will be relegated come May (sorry Leeds). Following a string of poor home performances, we also discuss whether Thomas Frank is under pressure in North London, and which of his players he needs to drop to the bench for a few weeks.Before that, we also run through the recent international break, giving credit to Scotland (well, one of us does) for qualifying for the World Cup and questioning Thomas Tuchel's selection of certain players in England's World Cup qualifiers.We end on a different note, looking through the predictions each club's fanbase made before the season started to see just how accurate (or deluded) they were.Get involved at our socials!Instagram - @tcf_sportTikTok - @tcf_sportYouTube - TCF Sport

100. Evaluating Viktor Gyokeres' start at Arsenal and Sean Dyche is back in the Premier League!
Send us Fan MailWelcome to the 100th episode of the TCF Sport podcast! Well, 100 audio episodes, that is. We still have a fair way to go before we hit 100 video episodes, but that didn't stop us from spending the first 10 minutes of this podcast reminiscing about some of our favourite moments from recording so far. Naturally, Arsenal feature...With the nostalgia out of the way, we turn our attention to current Premier League talking points, beginning with the Gunners. Since we last recorded, Arsenal have beaten Newcastle, Olympiacos, West Ham, Fulham and Atletico Madrid. So, has Steve changed his stance on Mikel Arteta? We also give our views on Viktor Gyokeres' start to life in North London, asking if he has improved Arteta's side (one of us definitely thinks so).After that, we turn our attention to the current soap opera club of the Premier League: Nottingham Forest. Postecoglou's 39-day tenure ended without a single win, but did he deserve more time? Whether he did or not, we both agree that it's great to have Sean Dyche back managing in the top flight.Tottenham are next on our agenda, as we discuss whether Thomas Frank's team have flattered to deceive so far this season, and if their underwhelming performances are going under the radar. We then analyse Liverpool's struggles, before updating our relegation predictions.Finally, we round out the episode with a brief discussion on Celtic's and Rangers' struggles in Scotland (to Hearts' gain), Graham Potter's new role with the Swedish National Team, and the quirks of Michael Owen.Get involved at our socials!Instagram - @tcf_sportTikTok - @tcf_sportYouTube - TCF Sport

99. Will Nuno save West Ham, and what next for Graham Potter?
Send us Fan MailWelcome back to the TCF Sport podcast! Since we last recorded, there's been significant change at West Ham, as Graham Potter got the chop and was replaced by Nuno Espirito Santo. We begin this episode by discussing whether the appointment of Nuno is a good one for the Hammers, and if the Portuguese can save the club from relegation this season. After his stock has declined since leaving Brighton, we also ask whether Graham Potter will get another Premier League job.Arsenal are next up on our agenda. Following criticism of Mikel Arteta that he needs to take the handbrake off the Gunners (before their excellent win at Newcastle), we give our opinions on who we think makes up the club's best XI. After two Premier League defeats in a row for Chelsea, we also discuss whether Enzo Maresca is under pressure at Stamford Bridge, and whether he ought to be.Harry Kane then gets a mention after he scored his 100th goal in 104 games for Bayern Munich, beating the previous record held by Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland. Finally, there are mentions for Sunderland, Wolves and Manchester United as we round out the episode.Get involved at our socials!Instagram - @tcf_sportTikTok - @tcf_sportYouTube - TCF Sport

Send us Fan MailMr Marinakis, what have you done? That's the first question we ask on this episode of the TCF Sport podcast, as we dissect the managerial change at Nottingham Forest. That includes Nuno's fallout with Edu, whether Postecoglou is the right man to take over at the City Ground, and how long the Australian will last in the post.There has also been a big change at Posetecoglou's former club in recent weeks, with long-time Executive Chairman Daniel Levy being relieved of his duties at Tottenham. We explore Levy's legacy, asking if the 63-year-old has been a success in North London.Discussion about the major ins and outs of the summer transfer window follows, before attention turns to all matters on the pitch from the opening weeks of the Premier League. This includes a good debate on Mikel Arteta, with a disagreement over whether he is the right manager to get Arsenal across the winning line and achieve success at the club. VAR and the re-refereeing of top-flight games, West Ham, Manchester City, and the three promoted sides also feature.Get involved at our socials!Instagram - @tcf_sportTikTok - @tcf_sportYouTube - TCF Sport

96. Will Gyokeres succeed at Arsenal, and where will Isak end up?
Send us Fan Mail*WE APOLOGISE FOR ANY BACKGROUND NOISE YOU HEAR THROUGHOUT THE EPISODE.*The new season is almost upon us! Before we turn our attention to predictions for the 2025/26 Premier League campaign, however, we run through all of the transfer news and rumours of the last few weeks.That begins with Newcastle United after the Magpies were rocked by Alexander Isak's news that he wants to leave and join Liverpool. After discussing where Isak could end up and the implications for the rest of the league if the Reds get him, we run through the recent transfer business conducted by Manchester United, West Ham, Manchester City, Sunderland, Tottenham, and Arsenal. There is an extended discussion around the two North London clubs following Son's departure to LAFC and Arsenal's signing of Viktor Gyokeres.The final quarter of the episode covers other off-pitch news, specifically Luke Shaw's comments that Manchester United should be challenging for the league title, UEFA's (disgraceful) ruling that Crystal Palace cannot play Europa League football this season, and Santi Cazorla and Real Oviedo's heroics at the backend of the last campaign.Get involved at our socials!Instagram - @tcf_sportTikTok - @tcf_sportYouTube - TCF Sport

95. Have Arsenal acted poorly with their handling of the Thomas Partey situation?
Send us Fan MailThis week's episode starts with the recent news that Thomas Partey has been charged with five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault in separate incidents between 2021 and 2022. Specifically, we ask whether Arsenal should have continued to play Partey over the last few seasons, and whether the club deserves criticism for their handling of the player and the situation.We then move to on-field matters, starting with the reaction to Jurgen Klopp's criticism of the Club World Cup, before turning to Brentford's appointment of Keith Andrews.The second half of this episode focuses on transfer developments, including the five first-team players who have been shown the exit door at Manchester United, Chelsea's purchase of Joao Pedro, and Kyle Walker's and Mohammed Kudus' moves to Burnley and Tottenham, respectively.Finally, we turn our attention to England, questioning the senior men's side's recent performances against Andorra and Senegal, before (deservedly) praising the U21s for their triumph at the European Championship in Slovakia.Get involved at our socials!Instagram - @tcf_sportTikTok - @tcf_sportYouTube - TCF Sport

We include focus on the Europa League Final in the same conversation, covering Manchester United and their pursuit of Bryan Mbeumo, too.From there, attention stays on the Europa League, specifically the delay in UEFA's ruling on whether Crystal Palace will be able to play in the competition next season. We then turn our heads to the Premier League, giving out our individual awards for the 2024/25 campaign.

93. Crystal Palace win the FA Cup and Europa League Final Preview... | Season 24/25, Episode 20
Send us Fan MailFOOTBALL IS HEALING!!! Crystal Palace's win against Manchester City in the FA Cup final on Saturday was absolutely brilliant for all involved with the Eagles. To give Oliver Glasner's side sufficient credit, we spend the first part of this episode talking exclusively about Palace's performance, before moving on to dissect whether Manchester City are in need of a significant rebuild at the Etihad over the summer.We then turn our attention to the Europa League final between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur. As two Arsenal fans, we ask if the winners of Wednesday's final will have had a better season than Mikel Arteta's side. We also analyse who the final is more important for, who we think will win, and whether the winners should qualify for next season's Champions League.Discussion about the Champions League semi-finals follows as we give our opinions on whether Arteta is under pressure to start winning silverware and if there is a deeper cultural problem at the Emirates that has caused Arsenal to become nearly men. We also cover the brilliant Barcelona-Inter Milan tie, asking if it's the greatest Champions League semi-final ever played.The final part of the episode returns to league matters in all four of England's professional divisions. We discuss Evangelos Marinakis' very public display of dissatisfaction at Nottingham Forest following their draw against Leicester, some Liverpool fans' booing of Trent Alexander-Arnold, and our favourite Goodison Park memories. We round out the episode by discussing the upcoming play-off finals in the Championship, League One and League Two.As ever, we hope you enjoy!

91. Who is City's GOAT and is time running out for Postecoglou? | TCF Sport Podcast | Season 2024/25, E18
Send us Fan MailWelcome back to the TCF Sport podcast! Following the news that Kevin De Bruyne will be leaving Manchester City at the end of the season, this episode starts with an exploration into who City's GOAT is: De Bruyne, David Silva, Vincent Kompany, Richard Dunne, or other?The biggest focus of the podcast is Ange Postecoglou. After the Australian cupped his ear to Tottenham fans jeering his decisions against Chelsea, we ask when his relationship with the Spurs faithful broke down. With Tottenham linked with several other Premier League managers, we also question how long Postecoglou has left at the club, but also if those managers that are linked would be better staying put at their current teams.The second half of the episode covers Chelsea and Jadon Sancho, Manchester United's new stadium concept, Trent Alexander-Arnold's impending departure to Real Madrid, Graham Potter's underwhelming start at West Ham, and the contract issues Andrea Berta has inherited as Arsenal's Sporting Director.

89. The most boring Premier League season ever? | Season 24/25, Episode 16
Send us Fan MailWelcome back to another episode of the TCF Sport podcast!With both ends of the table seemingly wrapped up at the end of February, this week starts with the question of: is this one of the most boring Premier League seasons of all time? And while our opinions are negative, we do point to some of the bright spots of this campaign, giving praise where it's due to the clubs who have over performed.Over the course of this discussion, we also ask if Liverpool being top of the league by 13 points is due to their excellence, because the teams below them have been poor, or somewhere in-between. We then cover Arsenal's goalscoring and transfer issues in detail, before giving our predictions for who we think will finish in the Champions League places this season.The second half of the episode turns to teams further down the league, starting with Leicester's dismal run of form under Ruud van Nistelrooy, before we look ahead to the return of the Champions League, giving our views for who we think will make the final at the end of May. After the fun we had naming our favourite strikers from Barclays era of the Premier League, we then finish by naming some of the Barclaysmen to have played at Bolton Wanderers!

Send us Fan MailWelcome to a session of catharsis as we spend the first 20 minutes of this week's episode letting our frustration out at Michael Oliver's decision to send off Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly against Wolves last Saturday. After discussing the decision and the tackle itself, we move on to the question of if there is an issue of corruption amongst Premier League referees, or if the problem is just one of incompetence.Once we have worked through our anger, we move on to discuss the penalty Everton won against Brighton at the weekend, Robert Sanchez's struggles in goal for Chelsea, and the Manchester United board's letter to fans that the club is at risk of a PSR breach.

Specifically, we give our views on his difficult start to life as Leicester boss, the Foxes now having lost their last 7 Premier League games in a row under his tenure.After giving our praise to Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth for how they have performed this season, we then turn to a bit of transfer chat before finishing with our score predictions for this weekend's Premier League action.Get involved at our socials!Instagram - @tcf_sportTikTok - @tcf_sportYouTube - TCF Sport

84. Controversial refereeing decisions and are United in a relegation battle? Season 2024/25, Episode 11
Send us Fan MailHappy New Year! For our first podcast of 2025, we start by analysing some of the controversial refereeing decisions in the Tottenham vs Newcastle and Brighton vs Arsenal games at the weekend. After letting out our anger at the penalty given against William Saliba, we turn to Arsenal's performance in the same game, also discussing our frustration at why it takes Arsenal players so long to take set pieces and if Mikel Arteta should persist with playing Thomas Partey at RB.The middle part of the episode focuses on Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham. On United, we discuss matters on the pitch, asking if their recent run of results mean the club is in a relegation battle. On Liverpool, we talk about events off the field, asking if the noise around the contracts of their three star players could derail their season. On Tottenham, we do a deep dive on issues both on the pitch and off the pitch, returning to Ange Postecoglou's reluctance to adapt his style of play and the club's transfer business under Daniel Levy. The latter third of the episode focuses on talking points for 8 other Premier League clubs. To finish, we update our predictions given at the start of the season before turning to the promotion race in the Championship and Plymouth's decision to part ways with Wayne Rooney.As ever, we hope you enjoy.

Discussion on Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool follows, covering another injury for Mason Mount and our thoughts on where Marcus Rashford should go, Cole Palmer's ability and if Chelsea are in a title race, and whether Liverpool should be looking to move Darwin Nunez on next Summer.The final part of the episode focuses on Arsenal. As Mikel Arteta has now been in charge of the club for five years, we start by reviewing his time in charge so far. We then turn to the form of Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli before debating how good Bukayo Saka actually is.

Send us Fan MailThis week's episode is a special one. The Premier League has been blessed with some of the best players from all over the world.
