Welcome to another instalment of 'It's All Kicking Off!' beaming to you this Bank Holiday Monday.In this episode, we start by questioning whether the jury is out on Ange Postecoglou - whose Tottenham side have now lost four consecutive games. Chris defends the former Celtic manager, though, suggesting that Spurs have been a victim of their huge overachievement at the beginning of the season. Plus, we question whether James Maddison will board the plane to Germany having struggled to emulate his form before picking up an injury.The lads analyse Darwin Nunez's cryptic social media behaviour after the Uruguayan deleted a series of Liverpool photos after he came off the bench to little affect in the win over Spurs. What do you reckon, does this spell the end for 'Darling' Darwin?Next up, a feisty debate between the pair who question whether Kai Havertz should have been awarded a penalty after tumbling in the box v Bournemouth.

'It's All Kicking Off!' returns for its Weekend Preview edition!In the latest episode, Ian and Chris begin by dissecting Jude Bellingham's Allianz antics, where he seemingly attempted to put off his England captain, Harry Kane, before the Bayern man took a vital Champions League penalty. What do you reckon? Do you admire this attempt to distract someone to gain advantage for their team... or do you prefer sportsmanship in the biggest moments?Ian questions whether Nottingham Forest will relish the opportunity to play already-relegated Sheffield United, with Forest's top-flight status hanging in the balance, as Chris says he sees this as the perfect game for the side.The lads give their top 5 Premier League players of the season so far... with some interesting calls offered up by them both.AND we offer praise for Kai Havertz - the Arsenal man was doubted by many but has emphatically turned at a corner at the Emirates, proving his worth time after time in the second half of the season.Presenters: Ian Ladyman and Chris SuttonProducer: Henry Williams

'It's All Kicking Off!' (aka your favourite football podcast) returns for its Monday edition.First up, Ian and Chris question whether Pep Guardiola was talking nonsense when claiming that the dryness of the pitch at the City Ground impacted Chris Wood's ability to put the ball in the back of the net, as his Manchester City side survived a few scares vs Nottingham Forest.We then talk all things North London Derby: how Arsenal have learnt from their errors last season, whether Spurs are up for the fight and why Ben White played with Guglielmo Vicario's gloves right before the Gunners took a decisive corner.The lads question whether Mo Salah risks tarnishing his Liverpool legacy after having a touchline spat with manager Jurgen Klopp, and ask themselves whether the Egyptian is frustrated after another nearly season on Merseyside.AND we question whether Newcastle should embrace the chance to sell their stars and follow the lead set by Aston Villa, a side regenerated by the cash raised by Jack Grealish's exit.Presenters: Ian Ladyman and Chris SuttonProducer: Henry Williams

'It's All Kicking Off!' returns for its Weekend Preview show. First on the agenda is Liverpool's trip to West Ham. The Reds have seen their title hopes shatter in recent weeks, losing to both Crystal Palace and - most recently - neighbours, Everton. Chris and Ian reckon Darwin Nunez' performance at Goodison Park summed up his season, letting favourable opportunities pass him by once more. Will Jurgen Klopp's side finish with on a high, with only 4 games left of his iconic tenure. The North London Derby is next up, with both Arsenal and Tottenham still fighting until the death to secure both the title and a top four place, respectively. While Liverpool have struggled to pick themselves up after slipping in the race, Arsenal have powered on and catapulted themselves back into contention. Can Spurs torpedo the Gunners' title charge once and for all? Finally, we turn our attention to Nottingham Forest v Manchester City. The noisy social media club versus the noisy neighbours… as we wait to see if Forest will be galvanised by the decisions, they feel harshly went against them.Presenters: Ian Ladyman + Chris SuttonProducer: Henry Williams
