This Season Could Go To The Final Day! Liverpool Fans Turn On Arne Slot, Arsenal Title Race Drama and Michael Carrick to Man United
This week, Jermaine Jenas and Jermaine Pennant break down another huge week in football and Fantasy Premier League - with major discussions around Liverpool’s decline under Arne Slot, Arsenal’s title race run-in, Chelsea’s FA Cup final chances and the future of Manchester United. The episode opens with FPL frustrations after Pep Guardiola’s rotation once again causes chaos for Fantasy Premier League managers. Triple Captain chips, bench disasters, minus-eight transfer hits and Gameweek 37 planning are all debated as the season reaches its final stages. Arsenal defenders, Bukayo Saka, Viktor Gyökeres and Erling Haaland all become key talking points ahead of the final two gameweeks. There’s also a huge debate around Arsenal’s title charge, with both hosts believing the pressure could still swing the race dramatically. Burnley’s low-block style, Crystal Palace away on the final day, and Arsenal’s struggles against defensive teams are all analysed in detail as the Premier League title race heads towards a dramatic conclusion. The podcast also dives into one of the biggest stories of the week: Liverpool fans turning on Arne Slot. Jermaine Pennant gives a brutally honest assessment of Liverpool’s performances, claiming fans have “lost patience” and warning that the club could fall apart if they continue in the same direction. The discussion expands into whether Xabi Alonso should replace Slot and why Liverpool may have made the wrong managerial decision. There’s also discussion around Michael Carrick becoming permanent Manchester United manager after an impressive interim spell. The lads debate whether Carrick deserves the opportunity long-term, if Manchester United need a bigger-name manager, and whether the club can finally rebuild into genuine title challengers again.

Chelsea Crisis Deepens, Arsenal vs PSG Final Debate, Man City Title Charge & FPL Double Gameweek Strategy
Jermaine Jenas and Jermaine Pennant react to another dramatic week across football and Fantasy Premier League - with huge debates around Chelsea’s collapse, Arsenal’s chances against PSG, and the impact of Double Gameweek 36 in FPL. The episode opens with a major swing in the Wildcards mini-league after Jermaine Jenas lands 89 points thanks to a successful Bench Boost, while Jermaine Pennant prepares to use his Triple Captain chip on Erling Haaland ahead of Manchester City’s double gameweek. Crystal Palace assets, Victor Gyökeres, Jarrod Bowen, and risky Bournemouth picks are all debated as managers try to gain rank in the closing weeks of the season. The conversation then shifts towards the international stage and the growing feeling that France are favourites for the next World Cup. With players like Ousmane Dembélé, Michael Olise, Bradley Barcola, Warren Zaïre-Emery and Kylian Mbappé all discussed, the lads question whether England currently have the level to compete with elite nations. A hilarious new segment, Two Truths, One Lie, delivers brilliant dressing room stories from their careers - including Rafael van der Vaart and Benoît Assou-Ekotto nearly fighting over a free kick while naked in the dressing room, and Nobby Solano playing trumpet in a hotel room the night before Jenas’ Premier League debut. There’s also a deep tactical breakdown of Arsenal vs PSG, with PSG’s intensity, pressing structure and attacking quality leaving both hosts convinced the French side are currently the best team in world football. The lads question whether Chelsea still even feels like Chelsea anymore, criticising the football decisions being made at the top of the club and the lack of identity throughout the squad. Plus: Liverpool players getting criticised for taking time off, Morgan Gibbs-White’s nasty head injury, and final predictions for the Premier League title race.

Will Spurs Injury Crisis Get Them Relegated? Haaland Captaincy For This Gameweek, Can Arsenal Handle the Pressure and Was PSG vs Bayern The Best Champions League Game Ever!?
Is Haaland the obvious FPL captain this week, are Arsenal losing attacking spark, and was PSG vs Bayern one of the best Champions League games ever? In Episode 35 of Wildcards, Jermaine Jenas and Jermaine Pennant break down another huge week of Fantasy Premier League, Premier League debate and Champions League drama. The lads start with the latest Wildcards FPL league update as Pennant extends his lead over JJ. There is also a full FPL Gameweek preview, covering Haaland captaincy, Alexander Isak, Jarrod Bowen, Bruno Fernandes, Semenyo, Cherki, Morgan Gibbs-White, Bournemouth assets, Arsenal defenders and the top transferred-in and transferred-out players. Spurs come under the spotlight after another major injury blow, with JJ and Pennant discussing Tottenham’s injury crisis, Xavi Simons’ reported ACL issue, player conditioning, rotation, pitch firmness and whether clean sheets could be key to Spurs staying up. Arsenal are also heavily debated. Are Mikel Arteta’s side struggling creatively? Is their best FPL value now in defence? And can they handle the pressure of the Premier League title race and Champions League knockout football? The episode then moves into Champions League reaction, as JJ shares what it was like watching PSG vs Bayern live in Paris. The lads discuss the speed, quality, fitness and atmosphere inside the Parc des Princes, whether English football is falling behind Europe’s elite, and why VAR and refereeing decisions are damaging big football moments.
