  • PSG- So You Thought Liverpool Had a Chance? 😭🔥
    Apr 9 2026

    This week’s Five Aside is pure chaos—in the best way. From PSG absolutely cooking Liverpool (with tiki-taka on steroids) to Bayern vs Madrid delivering a tactical slugfest, the boys break it all down with zero chill. There’s love for Olise’s baller aura, debates over Mbappé’s Madrid impact, and a full-on Saka vs Foden civil war 💀. Plus, Barcelona’s high line gets cooked again and Arsenal grind out a “we’ll take it” win. Football heritage, hot takes, and pure banter—tap in.

  • Saints and Sinners, Arsenal Gets Baptised, Chelsea Feast and Haaland Haunts Liverpool
    Apr 6 2026

    Happy Easter, but nobody was safe on this episode. The lads dig into Chelsea’s ruthless 7-0 FA Cup win, the Enzo drama and what it says about the Blues’ long-term project, before turning to Man City’s demolition of Liverpool as Haaland reminded everyone he is still football’s final boss. Then it is time for Arsenal therapy after a painful cup exit to Southampton, with big questions over form, squad depth and whether the title charge is wobbling. They wrap with Champions League predictions, Spurs chaos and one very unserious babysitting question.
