A shorter episode this week — just the Arsenal boys, Arman and Marton, taking the mic to break down the biggest coaching and form stories in the league.
We start with Arsenal, who continue to look sharp, cohesive, and confident as they push through the winter fixtures. Tactical clarity, defensive stability, and attacking variety — we discuss why the good times keep rolling.
Then we pivot to Manchester United, where the situation is… messy. After letting Rúben Amorim go, United are now actively searching for an interim coach until the summer, when the real long-term appointment will be made. We analyse what led to this point, who could realistically come in, and what this means for the rest of United’s season.
Two Arsenal fans, one big coaching saga, and plenty of football talk.

Another weekend, another twist in the Premier League title race.
We start with Arsenal’s nervy win at Wolves, where Mikel Arteta’s side came close to dropping points but once again found a way to get over the line. It wasn’t pretty, it wasn’t dominant — but it might be exactly the kind of result that defines champions.
From there, we shift to Manchester City cruising again, dispatching West Ham with ruthless efficiency. Pep’s side look fully locked in, with Erling Haaland continuing to set the benchmark for elite forwards — which naturally leads us into a broader discussion: Haaland vs Gyökeres, output, influence, and what Arsenal really need from their new number nine in this title race.
We also spend time on one of the stories of the season so far: Sunderland beating Newcastle, snapping the Magpies’ momentum and underlining how uncomfortable trips to the Stadium of Light have become. What does this mean for Newcastle’s ambitions — and how real is Sunderland’s progress?
A packed episode full of stats, context, and big-picture questions as the Premier League season edges closer to its decisive phase.

We start with Arsenal narrowly avoiding disaster against Wolves, a game that raised more questions than answers despite the points. Are the warning signs real, or is this just the mark of a team that knows how to survive?
Then it’s on to Manchester City, who once again made winning look routine. No drama, no chaos — just control. We discuss why City feel inevitable again and what separates them from the rest.
Finally, we give Sunderland their flowers after a massive win over Newcastle. What does this say about Newcastle’s season so far, and are Sunderland officially more than just a good story?

Liverpool’s week from hell continues as the Mohamed Salah situation explodes, with the club leaving him out of the Champions League squad and Arne Slot admitting he “has no clue” if the Egyptian will play for the club again. Arman and Marton break down the fallout, what it means for Liverpool’s season, and whether the dressing room can survive this storm.
We also get into Manchester United’s steady win over Wolves, Manchester City’s comfortable performance against Sunderland, and Arsenal slipping up again after a costly defeat to Aston Villa. With the title race shifting every week, we ask who’s actually in control — and who’s losing it.

In this week’s episode of the Swiss Ballers Pod, Fabo and Marton break down a massive Premier League weekend with two huge storylines dominating the headlines.
Arsenal 4–1 Tottenham
Arsenal run riot in the North London Derby, with Eberechi Eze stealing the show with a stunning hat-trick. We dissect how Arteta’s new attacking shape unlocked Spurs, what worked so brilliantly for Arsenal, and what this means for the title race.
Liverpool Lose Again — Slot in Trouble?
Another defeat hits Arne Slot’s Liverpool, and patience on Merseyside is wearing thin. We examine:

This week on the Swiss Ballers Pod, Fabo and the crew unpack a massive weekend in Premier League football.
We start at Anfield, where Manchester United stunned Liverpool with a 2-1 win — Amorim’s side finally showing grit and structure away from home. We break down how United managed to frustrate Slot’s Liverpool and what this means for the title race.
Then we turn to the promoted sides, as Sunderland, Leeds, and Burnley continue to punch above their weight this season. Are we witnessing the most competitive Premier League bottom half in years, or is this early-season magic bound to fade?
Finally, we dive into the week’s shock off-pitch story: Ange Postecoglou’s sacking at Spurs. Was it premature, or simply inevitable after a poor run of form?
Plenty of stats, hot takes, and banter in this one — the Ballers are back with a bang.

Show Notes:
This week’s Swiss Ballers Pod takes a deep dive into the world of football scouting — and trust us, it’s one of the most insightful conversations we’ve ever had. Our guest, Jack Loxton, scout at West Bromwich Albion, joins Fabo and Arman to pull back the curtain on how young players are spotted, developed, and supported in one of the world’s most competitive football ecosystems.
Jack gives us a rare behind-the-scenes look at the UK academy structure, from how scouts identify talent to how clubs nurture players across age groups. We talk about the balance between talent and mentality and the harsh realities when things don’t work out.
It’s a long one — but a must-listen. Whether you’re a player, coach, or just obsessed with football, this episode breaks down how the game really works beyond what you see on a Saturday afternoon.

This week it’s just Fabo and Marton holding it down.
We’re diving straight into Manchester United’s ongoing issues — from shaky defending to Ruben Amorim’s tactical setup and whether the goalkeeper situation is becoming a catastrophy. United’s late win over Burnley and heavy derby loss to City are pulling the spotlight back on deeper problems at the club.
We also touch on Manchester City’s statement win, looking at what Haaland and Foden’s performances tell us about their level this season, and whether cracks still exist beneath the scoreline.
Finally, we check in on Arsenal, who keep stacking points but now face a mounting injury list. With Saliba sidelined, can Arteta’s side maintain stability at the back?
Plenty of heated opinions, tactical breakdowns, and questions about where the top of the Premier League table is really headed.

This week we step away from the pitch and dive into the world behind the football clubs we love. Evangelos Marinakis takes centre stage as we unpack his rise from Greek shipping tycoon to football power player at Olympiacos and Nottingham Forest. We talk through his legal battles, fiery controversies, and the polarising figure he’s become across European football.
From there, the conversation shifts to us as fans — how vulnerable we are to the decisions our clubs make, and how often we find ourselves swept up in ownership dramas, shady dealings, and questionable ethics that we never signed up for. What responsibility do clubs owe to their supporters, and what power do we really have when things go wrong?
It’s a deeper, left-field pod during the international break — less about the scores, more about the structures that shape the game we love.

The Premier League is back – and so are the Swiss Ballers. In this week’s episode Fabo is joined by Dwayne and Arman on the line to break down a wild opening weekend full of goals, drama, and early narratives already shaping the season.
We kick things off with the big clash at Old Trafford, where Arsenal left with all three points and Manchester United fans were left scratching their heads. Was this a statement win for the Gunners? not really...
From there it’s straight to Anfield, where Liverpool got off the mark with an unconvincing win over Bournemouth. Exciting in attack but still shaky at the back, we take a closer look at Jeremie Frimpong’s fit in a back four and what the new era on Merseyside might look like.
Manchester City then reminded everyone why they’re still the benchmark – Haaland lethal, Tijjani Reijnders already slotting into midfield like he’s been there for years. Is Pep’s machine back in cruise control?
Finally, we talk the feel-good stories: Sunderland announcing their Premier League return with a thumping win, and Spurs kicking off life under Thomas Frank with a Richarlison brace.

THE POD IS BACK!!!
In this episode, Arman, Dwayne, Marton, and Fabo dive into the biggest Premier League stories ahead of the new season. First up: which managers are most likely to be sacked early, with Graham Potter’s West Ham future under scrutiny and Brentford’s bold gamble on first-time head coach Keith Andrews. Can a set-piece specialist survive the pressure?
They then spotlight a hidden gem player to watch — Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, who’s been impressive for AC Milan and could make a big impact in the Premier League. The guys compare him to this summer’s big-money signings at Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, and more.
Next, the crew discusses surprise teams—who will overperform or flop? Nottingham Forest, Everton, and Aston Villa get praise, while West Ham and Brentford face tough seasons.
The conversation shifts to top 4 and relegation predictions, weighing Liverpool and Arsenal’s title chances, and which clubs might crash unexpectedly.
They also ask if any trophy will satisfy Arsenal and Arteta, and debate whether Manchester United’s new signings and manager Amorim can turn the club around.
Packed with bold takes and key questions, this episode is essential pre-season listening for every PL fan.
