The Rest Is Football

Were Manchester United right to sack Ruben Amorim? Gary, Alan and Micah debate whether United need to follow the model of Manchester City, Arsenal and Aston Villa, backing long-serving managers with real influence over recruitment — and ask the big question: when will the problems at Old Trafford finally end? 

Praise is also heaped on Keith Andrews at Brentford, who has enjoyed an outstanding season, with his side sitting 5th and just two points off the top four.

The panel also discuss the cagey affair at the Emirates. While it ended in a draw, the point keeps Arsenal six points clear of Manchester City, who were held by Brighton for the third league game in a row.

Thierry Henry: The Moments That Made Them

Real Madrid academy graduate Gonzalo García steals the headlines with a perfect hat-trick as Madrid dismantle Real Betis. With García in red-hot form, can Xabi Alonso find a system that fits both him and Kylian Mbappé into the starting XI, and what does that mean for the increasingly out-of-favour Vinícius Jr?

Over in Catalonia, Barcelona make it nine straight La Liga wins thanks to a stunning strike from Dani Olmo. Is anyone capable of stopping Barça’s charge to the title?

Plus, Gary & Alex break down the sacking of Rúben Amorim, and debate whether his post-match comments at the weekend suggested he was already looking for the exit.

Amorim Sacked, Garcia’s Perfect Hat-trick & Olmo’s Late Stunner

Arsenal charge six points clear at the top of the table, do they already have one hand on the Premier League trophy? With Manchester City dropping points in two of their last three games and Erling Haaland now goalless in three, are they becoming too reliant on their star striker?

Gary, Micah and Al also dive into Ruben Amorim’s post-match press conference, where the United boss appeared to take a subtle dig at the club’s owners. Is patience wearing thin, and could time already be running out for Amorim at Old Trafford?

Merry Christmas!

Mbappe vs Ronaldo

Arsenal remain top of the Premier League at Christmas, but with Manchester City starting to look back to their best, have they taken the mantle as favourites for the title?

Morgan Rogers scored two brilliant goals as Aston Villa made it ten wins in a row in all competitions. Does this season now look like a three-horse title race?

Gary, Alan and Micah also debate a controversial weekend of refereeing, asking whether this is the worst standard the Premier League has seen, and if the introduction of VAR has played a part in the decline.
