It's All Kicking Off!

• Does UEFA Favour Europe’s Elite Clubs?

  Welcome back to ‘It’s All Kicking Off!’ After the lads break down Sunday night’s gripping Masters conclusion, Ian slams the UEFA that grants the Europa League winners a place in the Champions League. Is it fair that elite clubs have a ‘get out of jail card’, despite bombing in the league? We give Arsenal some stick for falling well short of Liverpool, barely giving Arne Slot’s side any reason to look over their shoulder. Ian reckons Gunners fans are getting really tired of second place… And there’s chat about: Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea shortcomings, Walsall’s continued disappointment and the Brit abroad who’s smashing his Spanish… Presenters: Ian Ladyman and Chris Sutton Producer: Henry Williams Learn more about your ad choices.

• Why it’s ‘ridiculous’ for Gary Neville to Suggest Players are ‘micromanaged’

  Welcome back to ‘It’s All Kicking Off!’ Where else to start than the borefest that was the Manchester Derby… Ian and Chris challenge Gary Neville’s claim that this is because players are being micromanaged, with the lads dismissing this entirely.  Ian reckons that Phil Foden should be left out of his side’s travelling party for the Club World Cup this summer, as the England international desperately seeks to regain some form.  There’s also chat about: the decision not to award a penalty to Arsenal, Jordan Pickford’s Everton heroics, Southampton’s lamentable return to the Premier League and the danger of rage-baiting in the modern era.

• Jose Mourinho is ‘irrelevant’, Paul Tierney ‘Shouldn’t VAR Again This Season’ and Groundhog Day at Spurs

  Welcome back to ‘It’s All Kicking Off!’ - for our Weekend Preview show.  Chris’ schedule prohibits his involvement this week, so we’ve once again drafted in the services of Dominic King.  We kick off by discussing the latest Jose Mourinho antics, after the Fenerbahce manager appeared to pinch the nose of the opposition gaffer. Is he desperately trying to claw back some relevance after a few years out of the limelight he seems to crave? Dom lambasts VAR official, Paul Tierney, for his decision not to recommend the referee in the Merseyside Derby to look at the monitor after James Tarkowski’s ‘coward’s tackle’ on Alexis Mac Allister. Dom slams the decision as ‘scandalous’. And we question what’s next for Spurs, as their managerial merry-go-round could well take another turn this summer.

• Why Rashford’s Form for Villa is a ‘blessing’ for United

  Welcome back to ‘It’s All Kicking Off!’ Plenty to get stuck into after a busy FA Cup weekend…  Ian and Chris question how Marcus Rashford’s form for Aston Villa could be a good thing for Manchester United moving forward, pondering whether his parent club can make use of the revitalised attacker, or move him on for big money. They discuss Pep Guardiola's legacy at Manchester City, and the significance of winning a trophy this season. We also focus on Liverpool's strong position and briefly wonder if Arsenal have enough left in the tank to mount a challenger and slam those that believe Newcastle’s trophy celebrations were over the top.
