On Monday morning, Manchester United pulled the trigger and sacked Ruben Amorim after just 14 months in charge. Why did INEOS act now, and what does Amorim’s dismissal reveal about their decision-making behind the scenes?

Chelsea have confirmed Liam Rosenior as their new head coach on a five-and-a-half-year contract. What does this appointment actually tell us about Chelsea’s ambitions and long-term direction under the current ownership?

Manchester City dropped points again after conceding a late equaliser against Chelsea and have since been hit by defensive injuries to Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias. With City linked to Marc Guehi and Semenyo closing in on a move to the Etihad - could these reinforcements be enough to revive their title challenge?

And with the FA Cup returning this weekend, does the competition still hold real value in the modern game?

Adam, Rory and Buvey discuss all this and more in the latest episode of The Club.

Welcome back to The Club Podcast, we hope you all had a lovely Christmas!

As we head towards the New Year, the boys return with a festive line-up for a fun, chaotic and nostalgic end to the year.

The episode kicks off with the panel building The World XI of 2025, selecting the very best players from across world football. With talent stacked in every position, the debate gets heated, especially between Buvey and Karel as they clash over which players deserve to make the final XI.

Next the lads turn back the clock and dive into the world of football cinema, debating the best - and worst - football films of all time, ranking them into tiers and revisiting some iconic (and questionable) classics along the way.

To round off the episode, it’s time for The Club’s End-of-Year Awards voted for by a mix of you, the listeners, and the panel in the studio  as the boys reflect on the moments, players and stories that defined the year.

Tune in for a festive, fun and chaotic episode as we close out the year and look ahead to 2026.

Thank you for rocking with us throughout the year — we can’t wait to bring you even more in the New Year.

All this and more in the latest episode of The Club.

Happy New Year!

It’s a very special festive episode of The Club!🎄

Adam, Rory and Buvey are joined in the studio by Flav, Miles, James and Karel Prince (Mr HMRC) for a Christmas special packed with big debates, nostalgia and plenty of chaos.

The boys start by debating and building their Premier League Team of the Season so far, choosing the standout performers across the league as we approach the halfway point of the season.

They then go back in time to tackle one of football’s biggest arguments, with the debate played out in a tournament format: who is the greatest Premier League title-winning side of all time? Eight iconic title-winning teams go head-to-head as the panel compare eras, dominance and legacy to decide which side truly stands above the rest.

To round off the festive episode, the lads take on a Christmas quiz and share what they’ll be getting up to on Christmas Day.

All this and more in the latest episode of The Club.

Enjoy, and Merry Christmas to you all!🎄

The Club Call-In Show makes its return to Spotify after a short break.

Charlie kicks things off from a Manchester United perspective arguing that Bruno Fernandes is one of the most under-appreciated players in the league and deserves far more credit.

Staying with United Ahmad questions the club’s recruitment strategy, debating whether Benjamin Sesko was the wrong signing and if the club should have prioritised strengthening the midfield instead.

Levi, another United fan insists that sacking José Mourinho was the worst decision Manchester United have made in the post-Ferguson era. Elsewhere, Jack calls in to argue that Thomas Frank is overrated, questioning whether he has what it takes to succeed at Tottenham.

All this and plenty more in the latest episode of The Club Call-In Show.

Arsenal snatched a last-gasp 2–1 win over Wolves at the Emirates on Saturday night but the performance was far from convincing. With Man City beating Crystal Palace 3–0 on Sunday to keep the gap at the top to just two points, are Arsenal starting to crack under the pressure?

Mohamed Salah returned to the Liverpool squad on Saturday coming off the bench against Brighton to help secure a 2–0 win. After full-time, Salah completed a lap of honour around Anfield, waving and tapping his badge to all four corners of the stadium. Was this his final appearance for Liverpool?

Elsewhere, FIFA have released their pricing strategy for next year’s World Cup  and the figures have raised eyebrows across the football world. Has FIFA gone too far?

And to round off the show, the fellas draft their all-time Spanish Premier League XI, debating the best Spanish players to ever grace the league.

All that and more in the latest episode of The Club.

It’s been a huge weekend of football,  especially if you’re a Liverpool fan. Mohamed Salah gave a stunning interview after Liverpool’s draw with Leeds, claiming he has “no relationship” with Arne Slot, he’s “earned the right to play,” and that he’s been “thrown under the bus.” Has Salah’s Liverpool career reached breaking point?

Arsenal suffered a late 2-1 defeat at Villa Park, allowing Manchester City to close the gap at the top to just two points. Is Arsenal’s away form becoming a real issue? And are they starting to feel the pressure from Manchester City?

Manchester United returned to winning ways with a 4-1 victory over Wolves, but the Kobbie Mainoo situation continues to be a problem. With reports that he wants to leave in January to get more playing time, how big a problem could this become for United?

The boys also do a Premier League All-Time XI Draft, as well as debating the best player at every Premier League club right now.

Adam, Rory, Buvey and James break it all down in the latest episode of The Club.

Despite going down to 10 men again, Chelsea delivered an impressive performance against Arsenal in a fiery London derby. Have we now seen enough to call Chelsea genuine title challengers?

Manchester United picked up a much-needed 2–1 win over Crystal Palace after failing to beat 10-man Everton at Old Trafford. But is the jury still out on Ruben Amorim?

Meanwhile, what’s going wrong for Thomas Frank? And is Saturday’s clash against his former side Brentford a make-or-break moment for him?

Rory, Adam, Buvey and Flav break down all this and more in the latest episode of The Club.

Liverpool hit rock bottom on Saturday after a 3-0 home defeat to Sean Dyche’s Nottingham Forest. They now sit 12th in the table, eleven points behind Arsenal. Is Arne Slot facing the sack?

Tottenham’s five-man defensive setup couldn’t stop Arsenal who thrashed them 4-1 in the North London Derby. Eberechi Eze, the player Spurs came close to signing, scored a hat-trick. Did that game expose Thomas Frank as the wrong fit for Tottenham? And with Manchester City losing to Newcastle, is this now Arsenal’s title to lose?

To round off the show, Rory and Buvey debate and rank the Top 10 Worst Summer Signings of the Season.

England finished their World Cup qualifying campaign with a perfect record: eight wins from eight, 22 goals scored and none conceded. But instead of praise, much of the conversation has centred around Jude Bellingham and his reaction to being substituted. Has the reaction been overblown, why are the media going after him, and is Thomas Tuchel managing the situation well?

The Premier League returns this weekend with the first North London Derby of the season as Arsenal host Tottenham at the Emirates. How important is a win for Arsenal ahead of a tough run of fixtures? How will Thomas Frank set Spurs up to cause an upset, and how much would it win over the fans?

And with the derby this Sunday, the boys also rank the Top 10 Derbies in the UK from the biggest rivalries to the most underrated clashes.

Rory and Buvey are joined by Flav and Harry to discuss all this and more in the latest episode of The Club.

It’s international week and the trio are back in the studio. Adam, Buvey and Rory review the Premier League season so far and share five things we’ve learned: is it now a two-horse title race? Are Man United genuine top-four challengers? Is Eddie Howe in trouble at Newcastle?

The lads also rank their Top 10 Signings of the Season — from Bryan Mbeumo to Jack Grealish and more. Plus, with Real Madrid’s teenage sensation Endrick struggling for minutes under Xabi Alonso and set to leave on loan in January, they ask: is the term ‘Wonderkid’ overused?

All that and more in the latest episode of The Club.

Chelsea eased past Tottenham with a 1-0 win on Saturday — and at the heart of it all was Moises Caicedo. Is he really the best number 6 in world football right now? 

Elsewhere, Manchester United drew 2-2 with Nottingham Forest after taking the lead. Did that result take the shine off Amorim’s recent progress? Are United actually turning a corner or just holding their ground?

After last week’s Top 10 Managers in the World debate, Adam and Flav revisit Rory and Buvey’s list — reshuffling and ranking the best managers right now. They also look ahead to the weekend and preview the lunchtime kick off between Tottenham and Man United.

And lastly, the lads build their All-Time Champions League XI of players who never won it — a team full of legends and heartbreak.

Liverpool’s season took another major blow as they lost 3–2 to Brentford on Saturday night — their fourth straight league defeat and fifth loss in six in all competitions. Are Liverpool officially out of the title race?

Manchester United made it three straight wins under Ruben Amorim after beating Brighton 4–2 at Old Trafford. Eight goals scored, three conceded — have United finally turned a corner?

Chelsea lost yet again in the league, this time 2–1 to Sunderland at Stamford Bridge. It’s now three defeats in the league for the “World Champions.” So who’s really to blame for their inconsistency — Maresca or Boehly?

And after last week’s fiery debate, Rory and Buvey return to pick their Top 10 Managers in World Football right now.

39 days. That’s how long Ange Postecoglou lasted at Nottingham Forest, the shortest managerial stint in the club’s Premier League history. No wins. No draws. Just chaos. Now, with Sean Dyche set to take over, we ask: what the hell is going on at Nottingham Forest?

At Anfield, Manchester United stunned Liverpool with a 2–1 win, handing the champions their fourth straight defeat. What does this mean for Liverpool’s title ambitions? And for Ruben Amorim, how defining could this victory be for his tenure at United?

Champions League football returns this week, with all six English clubs in action — Arsenal, Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Newcastle and Tottenham. The boys break down each fixture and the key storylines heading into Europe.

Plus, with the Champions League back, we’re building The Club’s Ultimate Champions League XI — but there’s a twist: every player must have won the competition, and only from the modern era (post-1992/93 rebrand).

The international break is over and England have qualified for the 2026 World Cup. It’s been almost a year since Thomas Tuchel took charge of England — so is it actually working?

This weekend’s standout fixture sees Liverpool host Manchester United at Anfield. The champions enter the clash on the back of three straight defeats, while United arrive with a win over Sunderland — but, as ever, they’re only one defeat away from crisis. Which side needs the result more?

With seven games played and the Premier League returning this weekend, the boys revisit their pre-season predictions — are they sticking or twisting? They wrap things up by answering audience questions in this week’s Q&A.

Rory, Adam and Buvey are joined by Liverpool fan and boxing presenter Ade Oladipo to break it all down in the latest episode of The Club.

Liverpool’s last-minute defeat to Chelsea made it three consecutive losses in all competitions — the first time that’s ever happened in Arne Slot’s managerial career. What’s going wrong at Liverpool, and can he turn it around before the season slips away?

With Liverpool faltering, Arsenal now sit top of the table — unbeaten in six and having conceded just once from open play. Have Arteta’s side quietly become the Premier League’s most complete team, and are they now the true title favourites?

Meanwhile, Erling Haaland’s ridiculous form continues as he fired City to another 1–0 win over Brentford. But with Guardiola’s side still looking short of their best, can Haaland carry City to the title on his own?

At Old Trafford, Ruben Amorim picked up a 2–0 victory over Sunderland on his 50th game in charge of Man United. But does that result actually change anything for Amorim?

Rory, Adam and Buvey break it all down in the latest episode of The Club.

Arsenal’s huge win at St. James’ Park cut Liverpool’s lead to just two points. It’s still early in the season, but how significant could that result be for Arteta and Arsenal — and did they silence their critics in the process?

Crystal Palace ended Liverpool’s unbeaten run with a late Nketiah winner at Selhurst Park, stretching their own streak to 18 games. How good are Palace really — and are Liverpool’s defensive frailties becoming a serious problem? Meanwhile, Man United suffered another defeat under Ruben Amorim, this time against Brentford. Is Amorim on the brink? And why are INEOS hesitating to act?

At Chelsea, the problems keep mounting. Three losses in four, back-to-back red cards, and pressure building on Maresca — what exactly is happening at Stamford Bridge?

And over at West Ham, the inevitable happened: Graham Potter was sacked and replaced by Nuno Espírito Santo. What’s next for Potter, and is Nuno the right fit for the Hammers?

This week’s episode was recorded across two sessions — Adam, Miles and Buvey on Sunday, and Rory and Buvey on Monday — to give you the full picture of a dramatic weekend in football.

Gabriel Martinelli equalised in the 93rd minute to rescue a point for Arsenal, but should it have been more? Did Arteta’s cautious lineup against Man City cost Arsenal a vital win in the title race? With Liverpool now 5 points clear, is the Premier League slipping away?

For the first time in over 600 games, Pep Guardiola went full-on park-the-bus against Arsenal. He subbed Nathan Ake on for Foden, Haaland off for Nico Gonzalez and switched to a back five. What does this new approach say about Man City’s future under Pep?

Chelsea lost again this time 2–1 at Old Trafford. That’s now back-to-back defeats after also losing to Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Will Chelsea’s wider strategy derail their season?

Last week, Jamie Carragher said Harry Kane is England’s greatest ever striker. At the same time, Erling Haaland broke another Champions League record by becoming the fastest to reach 50 goals in just 49 games. And don’t forget Liverpool spent £130 million on Alexander Isak to help fire them to the title. So today on The Club, we’re asking: who is the best striker in the world right now?

Rory, Adam and Buvey are in the studio to discuss all this and more in the latest episode of the Club.

With the Champions League kicking off this week, the boys make their predictions: Who will finish top scorer? Which English side will go the furthest? And who will be lifting the trophy in May?

The Ballon d’Or is just around the corner with names like Ousmane Dembélé and Lamine Yamal amongst the favourites — but should Mo Salah be this year’s winner?

Looking ahead to the weekend, Liverpool host Everton in the Merseyside Derby while Arsenal take on Manchester City in a huge clash at the Emirates. Who will lay down a defining marker in the title race?

Daniel Levy’s shock departure ended an era at Tottenham. Spurs’ longest-serving chairman is gone, but what's next for the North London club? Flav joins Rory, Adam and Buvey to unpack Levy’s exit: why he left, how it came to this, and what the future holds. In addition, the fellas also rank Levy’s BEST and WORST signings during his reign.

The Premier League returns this weekend with the first Manchester Derby of the season. Both United and City have endured tricky starts and badly need a win. But who needs the win more, Pep or Amorim?

Elsewhere, Michael Owen’s recent comments have sparked the debate - who was better on their rise, Owen or Rooney? The boys give their verdict and also share their greatest “I was there” moments as football fans.

The transfer window has officially closed and the boys are back in the studio to break it all down by ranking every Premier League club’s summer business. Was Liverpool’s window the GREATEST in Premier League history?

Arsenal enjoyed one of their strongest windows in years, but their 1–0 loss to Liverpool has raised questions about their mentality. Do Arsenal — and Mikel Arteta in particular — still have a mental block in the biggest games?

Meanwhile, it’s already panic stations at Manchester United. Ruben Amorim has picked up where he left off last season by dropping hints about his future. Rory and Buvey challenge Adam on whether this is the beginning of the end for Amorim — will he survive?

On the other side of Manchester, City have lost back-to-back games in Pep’s worst ever start to a campaign. Is this the new reality for Man City? Has Pep lost his touch?
