    Episode 186 - The 10 Best Free Agents This Summer — And Which Clubs Should Sign Them
    May 14 2026
    The World Cup is about to swallow the transfer window whole, which means free agents may be a smart play this summer. Patrick and Neel run through 10 players hitting the market for nothing, break down what they actually offer, and try to find them a home. Mo Salah's attitude problem, Konaté's Liverpool stalemate, why Bernardo Silva doesn't fit the Premier League anymore, the Vlahović wages nightmare, and whether Casemiro is genuinely MLS-bound. Plus: the centre-back generating midfielder numbers, the midfielder Patrick has never liked, and Lewandowski's increasingly narrow path to a good move. Enjoy!

    Episode 185 - We Need to Talk About the Referees
    May 11 2026
    City and Arsenal both benefit from big calls this weekend. Is there a referee conspiracy, or are we just all going mad? Ted and Patrick break down a controversial refereeing weekend, dig into whether the set piece problem can actually be fixed, and ask why Premier League coaches are so terrified of open play. Then: Man United's unlikely season, Chelsea's coaching crisis, Real Madrid's dressing room disaster, and Bayern's interest in Anthony Gordon. Enjoy!
