Recorded on Sunday 3PM GMT (00:32) We start by talking about the NFL and talking about Saturday night NFL Playoff game between the Houston Texans vs Cleveland Browns. CJ Stroud continues his hot form and wins hist first playoff game. Kansas City Chiefs vs Miami Dolphins, we didn’t expect it to be a blow out, extreme weather conditions and not betting against Patrick Mahomes. Bill Belichick leaving the New England Patriots and Mike Vrabel being fired for the Tennessee Titans. Ethan isn’t convinced and thinks Belichick will stay with New England, but work in the background. (08:51) We talk about the 2024 NFL draft order. The Chicago Bears have the number 1 pick again, do the keep Justin Fields and build around him or start fresh and draft a rookie QB?
(13:02) Premier League results and we start with Burnley vs Luton. Both teams are in the bottom 3, will they stay up? Fulham vs Chelsea, Cole Palmer being Chelsea’s best player this season and Conor Gallagher still being linked with a move away from Chelsea. Ethan still not convinced by Chelsea’s recent wins and thoughts on the manager's handling of the squad. Chelsea’s big money signings having constant injury problems and letting good players leave on loan.
(20:29) Eds goes through the current Arsenal squad and what positions need improving/ new signings and what players he isn’t impressed with. Eds expresses he has no sympathy for Mikel Arteta with the current situation the club are in as he feels the manager brought it upon himself with signings that shouldn’t have been made. We ask the question what is Kai Havertz actually good at? If Arteta doesn’t perform to the level expected this season, could he be in danger of loosing his job?
(31:55) Man City performance vs Newcastle, Kevin De Bruyne’s return and is Rúben Dias as good as people have made him out to be? (34:54) Where do Chelsea need to improve and what players Ethan thinks have been below par.
