Xhaka for Ballon D'or

Season 3, Ep. 6

Dropped points? Sure. Top of the league? Definitely. A slightly disappointing afternoon away in Southampton after a blistering Granit Xhaka based start left us with just the one point this weekend. After a Haaland double, Man City close the gap to just 1 point. Still undefeated in October, and could comfortably finish this crazy first half of the season in pole positon having qualified for the KO stages of Europa League with a game in hand. AND, having the next Ballon D'or winner in Granit Xhaka driving it all forward. What a time to be alive. Connor joins us and talks through the mighty women's team, as always, after an astonishing start to both the Premier League and Champions League season. Enjoy!

  • 7. A Stroll Over the Bridge

    51:10
    Fans, team. Team, fans. It is all part of one unit. Chelsea? Couldn't be further away from us. Connor and I discuss the superb away performance at the Bridge, which never really felt in doubt. Whilst the goal itself ended up being a little scrappy, the overall result was anything but. Granit Xhaka swearing, Jesus penetration, Partey stratospheric ability, White masterclass, and oh so much more. It ain't personal, but boy did it feel it this time. Aubameyang a distant memory of something that used to be so great, and at the same time reminded us all why we were so glad to get rid of him. We answer your questions and of course round up the superb women's team performances and success in the league. Enjoy!
  • 7. Admirable Nelson

    56:41
    Corr, 5 of the best? That'll do! Join Connor and I as we discuss Nelson's somewhat surprising resurgence, as well as a whole host of wonderful football on display on North London on Sunday afternoon. We also discuss the context of this to cap off a superb October, and what we need to do to look after Bukayo Saka. We also discuss the Zurich and Chelsea upcoming games, as well as answer your questions and take a look at the Women's success. Enjoy!
  • 5. Nunez Tears and Neville's Tears

    01:18:25
    We're back! After a few weeks out (I had surgery etc...) we are back with a bang. After a weekend filled with stress, euphoria, and satisfaction we passed the Liverpool 'test' by winning 3-2 in a dramatic home victory. We analyse some of the best moments, how well we played, controversial points, and much more. Of course, we answer your questions as always. We have a new guest on today, Marcelo, from Wenger's House. What day for it too. Connor joins us for the Women's round up, as always. Enjoy!
  • 4. Willing it Over The Line

    01:11:52
    Coming back from 1-0 down to win it late in the game? 3 points in the bag? Going top of the league? Playing free-flowing football? None of the above are a reason to celebrate, unfortunately. According to the Celebration Police, these are things we must keep quiet about. Anyway, what a day, eh? Connor and I team up to go through the Fulham game in all its glory, from the jeapordy of going 1-0 down to the chaos and flurry of scoring two late in the game to go top of the league. We answer all your questions as always, and of course round up the women's game. Enjoy!
  • 3. Jen Beattie

    57:14
    Arsenal Women's defender, Jen Beattie, joins us for an exclusive interview on the Arsenal Editor podcast. Jen has had the rare honour of playing for Arsenal twice in her career, and is currently a senior member of the team leading the culture in the dressing room. A calming presence on and off the pitch, Jen is a key member of this exciting young group. Jen shares her personal experiences with young women coming through in an ever more overwhelming space for players to come through. Recorded the day after the Women's Euros final, Jen talks us through the growth of the game since Jen started playing, and where it could go. We talk Arsenal, rising through academy ranks, breaking through and making her professional debut, the current Arsenal group, and what they can achieve. It was an absolute honour to have Jen on the podcast, I can't wait for you to listen. Enjoy!

    ....SALIBA. Corr, what a song. What a player. What a result. Join AFC Met and I as we discuss the weekend's 3-0 win against Bournemouth after an emphatic start. Top of the league, Saliba chants, rivals in transition, Gabriel Jesus power, Zinchenko ability, crowd fever, All of Nothing, and of course your questions. We cover it all. Enjoy!
  • 1. Finally, We're Back

    58:26
    And we are back! After some dodgy technology issues last week and a summer off, the podcast finally returns. What a time to return, too. After a win away at Palace, and our focus of today being our home victory against Leicester, we bask in the optimism that surrounds the club. AFC Met joins me to not only talk about the development of the team, connection with fans, and what could lie ahead, but ALSO enjoy rolling around in some early Manchester United based misery. Why not enjoy it whilst we can? Join our first podcast of the season with many more to come. Enjoy!
