The Full Kit Banter PodcastS2EP39 - Gunners Fumble The BagArsenal's defeat to Newcastle leaves them needing a huge favour from Norwich against North London rivals Tottenham on the final day of the season to finish in the 4th and final UCL spot. FA Cup winners Liverpool kept their slim title hopes alive but will also need Steven Gerrard's Aston Villa to take a point off Manchester City at the Etihad to become champions.

Liverpool, who were outplayed for large spells of the game, will just be glad that the gap to City did not stretch to 4 points, but may have lost their biggest chance to reel in the champions.

Claudio Ranieri was the latest to face the axe at Vicarage road after a chastening 3-0 defeat at home to fellow strugglers Norwich, who seem to have found a new lease on life after back to back wins. In their way however are nouveau riche Newcastle who got all three points against Leeds at the weekend.

Burnley managed to...2022-01-261h 19
The Full Kit Banter PodcastS2EP24 - Blues Without CluesAfter a tepid display against runaway leaders Man City, Chelsea's focus now must surely be on keeping the chasing pack at bay. A brilliant Kevin De Bruyne strike sealed the points, but the performance of his Belgian teammate, Romelu Lukaku, left alot to be desired. Also, Manchester United were pegged back by a returning Philippe Coutinho, Liverpool saw off Brentford without 2 of their famed front 3 and Everton sacked Rafael Benitez after a torrid 6 months at the club.

The Full Kit Banter PodcastS2EP18 - RangnarokRalf Rangnick is the new interim (we throw this word around alot in this ep) boss of Manchester United, and we're certain that he was paying close attention as the Red Devils took a point from Stamford Bridge this past weekend. The much maligned Jadon Sancho got the goal, but another major talking point was Cristiano Ronaldo's omission from the starting lineup. How will the 'Godfather of Gegenpress' adapt to his new surroundings in England and which of his new players will flourish/flounder under him?2021-12-011h 05

The Full Kit Banter PodcastS2EP15 - Kurt Brings The HurtWest Ham climbed into the top 3 with a huge win over title chasing Liverpool, who have no dropped points in back to back games since their big win at Old Trafford.

Nuno Espirito Santo was dismissed by Tottenham after a dismal performance against fellow beleaguered rivals Manchester United, and after his key players continued to misfire. We now know that Daniel Levy had a trump card up his sleeve in Conte, so just how will the Italian rejuvenate this Spurs side?

The Full Kit Banter PodcastS2EP2: Messi Transfer WindowIt's indeed been a messy transfer window, with clubs seeming waiting on each other to pursue deals of their own. With a few more weeks before the window shuts, we still expect a few twists and turns. One huge twist however came when Lionel Messi left Barcelona for Paris, with the arguable G.O.A.T set to lead a new look, and quite frankly terrifying, PSG.
