  • Manchester United: Stale, stagnant, decaying | 'The Titanic turns quicker than Raheem Sterling!' | 'Chelsea have no identity'
    Feb 17 2025

    Schwarzie and Phil are joined by Bridgey to reflect on Spurs' win over a 'decaying' Manchester United team that are really struggling. Phil also updates us on how Antony is doing in La Liga since leaving Old Trafford...and it's not a good look for his former employers.


    Meanwhile Arsenal are dealing with their injury crisis well so far, as Mikel Merino scores twice in his first ever runout at centre-forward. But can they still win challenge Liverpool for the title? Chelsea on the other hand are heading in the opposite direction.


    And after Ederson became the goalkeeper with the most Premier League assists, Schwarzie also talks very proudly of his only one, which was mostly thanks to Yakubu.


    Every match of the Premier League and WSL is live and exclusive on Optus Sport.

  • Did Liverpool take Plymouth seriously? | 'I feel sorry for Ange' | Come back VAR...all is forgiven!
    Feb 9 2025

    Schwarzie is joined by Jay Bothroyd after watching Ange's Spurs slump to another defeat, this time against Aston Villa in the FA Cup Fourth Round. We also hear from Ange himself after the game chatting to Schwarzie, as well as Morgan Rogers.


    The guys also reflect on Plymouth's historic victory over Liverpool and come to terms with the fact that no VAR in the FA Cup has made us miss technology!
