Season Analysis

Arsenal’s FA Cup exit, coming just two weeks after their Carabao Cup disappointment, leaves their season at a crossroads. With two trophies already gone, could Mikel Arteta’s side really finish the campaign without silverware, and should there be growing concern at the Emirates? Meanwhile, Manchester City delivered arguably their performance of the season in a statement win over Liverpool. Are Pep Guardiola’s men hitting top form at exactly the right moment, and does the result leave Arne Slot under pressure? Elsewhere, Chelsea ran riot with seven against Port Vale, but does the scoreline paper over the cracks? With Enzo Fernández handed a two-game ban, is Liam Rosenior attempting to assert control in the dressing room? Plus, the guys discuss the chaos at the London Stadium as West Ham and Leeds played out one of the games of the season. The Rest Is Football is powered by Fuse Energy.

Did the defeat - and the manner of it - cross a line? How much further can the bad form go? We spend the show looking for light relief - and we've done it by slipping back into wistful nostalgia. We hear from the former City midfielder Georgi Kinkladze, as he speaks to the show about his three seasons at Maine Road. With Aston Villa and Everton on the horizon, we hear from Frankie Maguire from All Villa No Filler and from Dave Downie from The Blue Room, who both explain how their seasons have been going to this point. Can City stop the rot or are they basically limping along until the January transfer window? Plus, with an idea shamelessly stolen from a bigger podcast, who is the best City player from several different (recent) eras of the club? We discuss the candidates for each period, going back to the promotions in 1999 and 2000. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.
