    01:12:11|
    Monday 22nd December - Weekend Review || Arsenal, Chelsea draw, Spurs lose... business as usual then? Villa Seb arrives in full misery mode after Spurs lose, so he declares himself a neutral football fan for the week. We start with Manchester United. Are they genuinely in trouble, or do they just look like a club trapped between two plans? We talk injuries, AFCON absences, squad building, and why their “not that bad” performances still feel like a warning sign.After the break, we go deep on Aston Villa’s ten win run and the online obsession with whether it’s sustainable. We argue about XG, wonder goals, and why certain players make the numbers look broken.In this episode: - Man United in CRISIS - United's worst midfield ever? - Aston Villa's 10-WIN STREAK defying all logic - XG Philosophy in the mud - Arsenal TOP at Christmas despite "stumbling" narrative - Chelsea come back from 2-0 DOWN at Newcastle - Reece James appreciation hour - Spurs Fan BROKEN - West Ham going DOWN?
