About this episode

🎙 We head into the final international break of 2023 off the back of a BELTING weekend in the Premier League! Chelsea and Man City played out an EIGHT-GOAL thriller at Stamford Bridge in the game of the season so far and there’s now just 3 points separating the top five in the table! Wolves STUNNED a depleted Spurs side with two goals in stoppage time, while Kieran Trippier got caught up in a confrontation with the travelling Newcastle fans after their 2-0 loss at Bournemouth. Sean Dyche has Everton flying and Man Utd have the BEST FORM in the Prem! 😮

🔥 Ben, Mark and Watto discuss all of that, plus…


  • Who is the BEST STRIKER in the world right now?
  • Are Aston Villa going to get Champions League football?
  • Are Liverpool genuine title contenders again?
  • Does Cole Palmer deserve his England call-up?
  • And why is James Ward-Prowse not in the England squad?!


And of course, we have the World Famous Football Fill-In Quiz… 🤔


We hope you enjoy this week’s episode! ⚽️
