“Arsenal are 3 years AHEAD of Man Utd” & What Manager Will get the SACK First?
The Premier League has given us some midweek fixtures this week, so of course we thought we’d treat you to two Football Fill-In ’s in one week! Kicking the show off today, we had to start with Arsenal vs Manchester United. Arsenal looked very dominant from those set pieces and we had our expert, Dave Watson dive in, to give his analysis on how good they actually are… Moving up north to Newcastle, they faced Liverpool in a frantic 3-3 draw, we looked at how good Salah was, that Isak goal, and should have Kelleher caught that ball for that Newcastle equaliser? Chelsea won 5-1 to Southampton and they looked very dominant, a few clumsy mistakes from the Southampton team which lead them to getting a red card, to make it a walk in the park for Chelsea. Manchester City are BACK to winning ways too, in a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest, but is the problem solved in Manchester?
Sean Dyche’s Everton beat Wolves in a convincing 4-0 win, in a game where both managers are under pressure, will Gary O’Neil get the sack? Moving onto Aston Villa, they beat Brentford 3-1 with Ollie Watkins and Morgan Rogers being the standout performers. Will Brentford and Thomas Frank get round to improving this away record? Ruud Van Nistlerooy took his first game in charge for Leicester City and they looked great, beating West Ham 3-1 at home, which now mounts the pressure on Julen Lopetegui and his time at West Ham.
Our final game is Ipswich vs Crystal Palace where Mateta strikes it home to win 1-0 and there’s now questions on whether Ipswich will slowly fade into that relegation zone as that gap increases.

“Pep’s FINALLY Cracked” & “Salah Says his Goodbyes”
It was GOALS GALORE in the Premier League this weekend!! On the Football Fill-In today we have Ben Foster, Darren Bent, Dave Watson and Tom Ochoa as we talk about this weekend of fixtures!
Our first game starts off with the Super Sunday match, which was Liverpool vs Manchester City. What is going on at City and is Pep losing the plot? We discuss all on this game and how it’s now Liverpools title to lose… Moving on, Chelsea beat Villa 3-0 in a convincing win, we had a look at their upcoming fixtures and it looks good for them, could they push for a title charge?! West Ham vs Arsenal saw seven goals in the first half which could lead to worrying times for West Ham and Julen Lopetegui. Manchester United are off the mark with their first win in the PL under Ruben Amorim with a 4-0 victory over Everton, with one manager coming in, will one manager be coming out in the name of Sean Dyche? We also discuss Marcus Rashford going to the USA and how good Amad Diallo was!
Looking at the game in the midlands, we head to Wolves in a thrilling 4-2 defeat to Bournemouth. Wolves gave away three penalties which could all have been avoided, but in doing so, Bournemouth broke two Premier League records with Evanilson being the first to win a hat-tick of penalties and Justin Kluivert the first to score a hat-trick of penalties! Brentford’s AMAZING home record continues with a 4-1 win over Leicester as Ruud van Nistelrooy watches in the stands with the owners. Kevin Schade scores a hat-tick and he is the 2nd Brentford player to score a PL hat-tick with the first being Ivan Toney!
Staying in London, Spurs hosted Fulham as they drew 1-1, which leads to Spurs fans being frustrated with the lack of consistency with results. Crystal Palace host Newcastle, and Palace were dominant and deserved a point going right to the final whistle. A potential worrying time for Newcastle as they only managed 1 shot the whole game with 0 being on target. Isak also comes off injured too which doesn’t look good for the Magpies.
Moving to the final two games, Brighton hosted Southampton on Friday night, which caused a divide in opinion in the studio today with that Adam Armstrong offside. Do you think the goal should have counted? Finally, Forest beat Ipswich 1-0 with a Chris Wood penalty taking them to 6th in the table!

“Nothings Changed at United” & Is Pep Actually Under Pressure?
This week on the Football Fill-In we have Ben Foster, Darren Bent, Dave Watson and Tom Ochoa on the show! We have also spruced up our set so we hope you all like it!
The first game this week was Leicester vs Chelsea with Enzo Maresca going back to his old club, but the big talking point was Steve Cooper being sacked from Leicester. Who’s going to replace him? Speaking of managers, Ruben Amorim had his first game against newly promoted Ipswich, but it wasn’t the start that they hope for! Moving to the other Manchester Club, Man City signed Pep Guardiola on another 2 year contact but that wasn’t enough to stop spurs as they thrashed City 4-0 away from home!
Cunha stars for Wolves as they win 4-1 vs Fulham, giving Wolves back to back wins in the Premier League! Arsenal shine as Odegaard returns in 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest. Bens former Watford teammate Joao Pedro was involved for two goals for Brighton as they get a 2-1 win over Bournemouth! Will Brighton make it into the Champions League spots? Speaking of Bens former teammates, Ismaïla Sarr scores his first PL goal in over three years as Palace get a draw against Aston Villa! The final draw of the weekend was Everton vs Brentford which finished 0-0. Will Brentford improve that away record?
The final fixture we talked about was Southampton vs Liverpool, in a game where people thought Liverpool were going to run riot, Southampton showed their strength but Salahs penalty was enough for them to get the three points as they sit top of the table.
