Fan Expectations

Rio Ferdinand says it could be 'goodnight' for Arsenal in the Premier League title race if they fail to beat Bournemouth on Saturday.

A week on from Gareth Southgate's decision to stand down as England manager, Suj and James reflect on Southgate's tenure, discuss what might be next with the next manager and ask what England fans want England to be. There's praise for what Southgate has achieved both on and (especially) off the pitch, including how he united the team; but there's also acknowledgement that the time was probably right for him to step aside. But will what's next be better? Who should get the job? And there's details on The FA's job remit of what they are looking for from applicants. And what do fans and the media want from England? Is it more attractive football and fluid tactics or ultimately is the result at major tournaments what still matters most?

James is joined by Aston Villa correspondent Lee Jackson to discuss a dramatic week at Villa, which saw manager Steven Gerrard dismissed immediately following the 3-0 defeat at Fulham and Villarreal manager Unai Emery appointed as the new man in charge. Where did it go wrong for Gerrard? Did the fans ever take to the former Liverpool legend? And why didn't success at Rangers transfer to the second city's biggest club? What can we expect from Villa's Emery? Doubts linger from his spell at Arsenal, is that fair or should focus be on his achievements in Spain? And what does good look like from Villa? What do the fans truly expect?

Jules has just about recovered from the high of seeing Brighton first on the Match of the Day running order to hotfoot it to the studio for today’s episode! Today, we discuss the relationship between players and fans when things aren’t going to plan. After the booing aimed at Arsenal’s Granit Xhaka on Sunday and some Southampton fans demanding a refund after their humbling loss against Leicester, we explore what fans can rightfully expect from their club. After that we squeeze in some chat on Gabriel Jesus’ role at Manchester City and his place as a more than capable backup for Sergio Aguero, and we get to some of your correspondence too!
