This episode isn’t about chasing perfect predictions.

It’s about how this weekend feels — the pressure around certain teams, the games that don’t sit comfortably, and the calls that could easily go wrong.

I talk through:

• Newcastle vs Chelsea and why I’m backing Newcastle

• Liverpool vs Tottenham and the pressure building at Spurs

• Aston Villa vs Man United and a call that goes against recent form

• Hearts vs Rangers and why this one feels too tight to separate

This is a weekly check-in before the games — reading the mood, the moments, and the uncertainty that makes football what it is.

Disagree? That’s kind of the point.
