Messi gets another Ballon GOAT with Rapinoe, Allison and De Ligt in tow, Liverpool and Leicester keep everyone else at bay, Dele leads Spurs down the Alli way and at the Emirates, Emery has had his day.
Coshcast S7E13: The Coshcast about nothing (we hate Int’l breaks)
Do you feel the same way about football as you used to? Which players keep you excited? Is anyone built to compete with Liverpool? All these and plenty more existential questions asked and answered.
Coshcast S7E12: Pep pops as City are rocked at Anfield
Pep pops as City are rocked at Anfield, but is the Catalan approaching the end of a cycle?
Arsenal can’t keep up with Leicester who are on their bicycle, Chelsea are riding high still, and Pochettino looks like he might cry.
Coshcast S7E11: Who should Bayern hire & when will VAR be fired?
All Chelsea & Ajax do is score in a 4-4 draw, Inter take the lead against Dortmund but can’t close the door, and against Slavia Prague, Barcelona are frighteningly poor.
Coshcast S7E8: Man Utd & Arsenal fall from grace
McTominay and Aubameyang save their respective incompetent managers as fans of both clubs look at their teams and think “you aren’t the same person I fell in love with”.
Coshcast S7E7: City give Watford 8 reasons to quit football
Call him Quique Sanches Florist because Watford are as easy to walk through as a bunch of flowers, Spurs lose away from home again, this time at the King Power, Phil Jones calls for Solskjaer to sacked and gets an Ed Woodward glower, Aubameyang saves Emery like the Prince saving Repunzal from the tower, and Liverpool beat Chelsea in second gear to the extent that they may not have even needed a post game shower.
Coshcast S7E6: Canaries in the mine as Liverpool keep flying
It’s no surprise that the Canaries pressed high and you could see the fear in Otamendi’s eyes as Buendia slipped it to Pukki to steal the prize, similarly Sokratis was out of practise as Arsenal deflated like a torn water mattress…
Coshcast S7E4: A good ‘ebening’ for transfers, Guendouzi and not for Koulibaly
A wave of the magic Wanda and Icardi arrives in Paris, so too does a misused goalkeeper by the name of Keylor Navas, Mkhitaryan flies to Rome and promptly gets stuck in traffic, and Alexis Sanchez to Inter is unlikely to leave many defences in a panic.
Coshcast S7E2: Arsenal and Liverpool go top, United and City are stopped
Arsenal go top, Manchester United flop, Liverpool beat the Alpine Klopp and Spurs put City’s winning run to a stop. Elsewhere Lampard’s finding it damn hard unlike Pukki who’s got four in two, see?
Coshcast S7E1: The Premier League is back with a bang!
The Premier League is back, City and Liverpool went on the attack, they’ve made signings but it was Eriksen that Spurs lacked, Arsenal finally gave Chambers a crack, and don’t worry Chelsea fans, Lampard is safe from the sack. For now.

City win the league as Liverpool concede defeat in a title race that held Pep’s feet to the heat but ultimately couldn’t push him off his seat.

The Canadian Premier League begins as Pacific FC record the first win,
Van Dijk and Sterling get personal awards, United and Chelsea play out a draw,
North London crumbles, Liverpool win, and City retain first place by about an inch.
Coshcast S6E28: CanPL kits, Mesut Coatzil & UCL preview
The Canadian Premier League teams have kits, the top four race in the English Premier League is doing bits, Watford stun Wolves in the FA Cup semis it’s, not long until the Champions League gets heavy, in Spain Barca win 2-0 against Atleti, in Italy, Juve beat Milan with a few minutes to go, who would have betted?
Coshcast S6E27: Lloris is the April fool & Zidane marks his territory
Last season Liverpool were undone by Loris, this year will they be gifted the title by Lloris as the Reds scrape past Spurs, will Aldeweireld watching. Arsenal leapfrog into third, Solsksjaer’s record remains absurd, Chelsea’s win is undeserved and Manchester City remain unperturbed.
Coshcast S6E26: Wolves, Goats & Lio Messi
In the FA Cup Wolves chomp United, Swansea give City a fright and
a great weekend for the Scousers as Everton beat Chelsea and Liverpool are back in with a shout it’s, all to play for in the Premier League.
Elsewhere for Messi against Betis it was three of quite literally the best, Real under Zidane pass their first test and Inter win the Milan derby as the race for third in Serie A sees no rest.
Coshcast S6E25: Top four drama and Zidane’s return
A once great manager returns to his former club in their hour of need, but don’t worry, we won’t just talk about Ranieri, because Zidane’s back too.
Coshcast S6E24: The podcast of derbies
It’s honours even by the Merseyside while Arsenal nearly brush Spurs aside but a draw leaves both teams wanting more in the battle for top four.
Elsewhere, United rely on Lukaku’s nous to edge them past Prouse and associates, Kepa returns for Chelsea so is all forgiven? I suppose it is.
Coshcast S6E23: Kepa practices abstinence | Have Liverpool conceded the title?
Kepa practises abstinence as he refuses to get off, United and Liverpool are similarly dysfunctional, Spurs are undone by 2019’s King of the North, Sean Dyche, and Arsenal pulverize a tragic Southampton.
Coshcast S6E21: Liverpool grind as City climb & Giovinco departs
Liverpool drop points away from home, Arsenal’s defending is schoolboy but Guendouzi is grown, speaking of Heung Min Son goes it alone, and is Higuain finally the heir to Diego Costa’s throne?
Elsewhere Rashford doesn’t let up, Morata and Atleti get stuck, Vinicius and Messi go nuts like macadamia and Giovinco’s ended up in sunny Saudi Arabia.
Coshcast S6E19: Emery esplayn, Sarri complayn
Arsenal beat Chelsea as Sarri and Bellerin both go out on a limb, at Anfield if only Speroni had known it wasn’t goal-bound he might have left it alone he’s now probably quite lonely, Solskjaer shines brighter than a convenience store sign as he makes it 7 out of 7 and finds a settled eleven, and Fulham have a draw snatched out of their hands in the blink of an eye as Winks steals the points for Spurs.
Coshcast S6E18: Solskjaer so good & Nasri returns
Manchester United beat Spurs and it’s all good so far for Solskjaer with De Gea so sharp. At the London Stadium Nasri cut open Arsenal at one end and Fabianski kept them out at the other while wins for Liverpool and Chelsea kept the Reds ahead at the top, and the Blues in the Champions League spots.
Coshcast S6E17: The magic of the January transfer market
It’s been the holidays! So no need to Pulisic day although Chelsea did anyway buying the American teenager for 58m pounds although that’s probably closer to 100m once you take tariffs into account, and such.
Spurs, Liverpool and the quest for trophies
Some will say for both teams, the product on the pitch alone is worth celebration. Some will say consistent Champions League participation is enough. There also those who say that this period of stability is an accomplishment. To understand the last point, let’s remember where these clubs were before their current managers.
Coshcast S6E16: Fans review their club’s 2018

City Luiz their first game of the season as the kop and Klopp go top, Arsenal lose more defenders than Tommy Robinson but Torreira gets on his bike, Spurs take Leicester to the Dele and slice them up, and Manchester United win a game of football.

Coshcast S6E5: The podcast about nothing
I’ve got absolutely no idea what to tell you because I’m genuinely not sure what we’re going to talk about but presumably some international chat, Mohaned might try to get us to enjoy individual awards, we’ll attempt not to find something to have a go at Mourinho for, and I’m fairly confident we’ll preview some upcoming club football fixtures across England and Europe.
Coshcast S6E4: Theatre of Nightmares
Manchester United Lindelot to be desired as Spurs break old habits at Old Trafford, Wolves hold City in a case of headers and Bolys at Molineaux, Arsenal once again challenge their opponents to a game of “who can be a bigger shambles?” but win because it was West Ham.
We’ve got the rest of the Premier League action including Chelsea, Liverpool, and new title contenders Watford, a quick European run down which sounds like something you order off a menu in a red light district, and our usual favourite features. On we go.
Coshcast S6E3: The un-parked bus
This week on the Coshcast we run the rule over Chelsea and Arsenal as they muck around at the back of what was a very much un-parked bus, while but Manchester City Mendy defenses and send a shudder through Huddersfield.
Coshcast S6E2: Opening weekend casual banger
Captain’s Pog’s in the captain’s log,
Sissoko plays but Spurs still please Poch.

Liverpool rampant West Ham lost the plot,
Speaking of which Cech’s passing’s dross…

Coshcast: Collapse at the PathEtihad
This week on the Coshcast,
City fail to buy a centreback better than Otamendi at half time allowing United to storm back and beat them at the Etihad, somehow a Merseyside derby featuring Dominic Solanke and a team managed by Sam Allardyce doesn’t produce any goals, Spurs and Arsenal scrape past Mark Hughes past and present, and Chelsea continue to defy all logic by not using Ross Barkley to fire them into the Champions League spots.

Coshcast: The manager special
This week on the Coshcast, we use the international break to talk about anything other than the internationals. Instead, it’s a manager special, with a special guest. Enjoy.
Coshcast: You get four, you get four, everyone gets four!
Pedro spoils Vardy’s party, Eriksen strangles the Swans and Mourinho strangles Luke Shaw as the FA Cup semi finals are decided, while in the Premier League we discuss Salah’s insane trajectory, especially in contrast to the awful joke that is Charlie Adam. If only someone would end his career, in the same way he’s tried to end countless others.

Coshcast: Brendan Rodgers to replace Arsene Wenger
A herd of actual caribou would have given Manchester City a tougher test in the Carabou Cup final, in the Premier League, Lingard and United’s resilience outdo Willian’s brilliance, and it’s a walk in the park against West Ham for Liverpool, although obviously not alone, because you’ll never do that.
Coshcast: EPL & World Cups with Tom Harrington
We’re joined by CBC’s Tom Harrington as we look back on the weekend’s Premier League action. Arsenal were wobbly at Wembley and got thrashed 1-0 as only Petr kept Spurs in check, it was the De Bruyne and Aguero show at the Etihad where City put five past a lackluster Leicester, and we’ll also chat about easy wins for Liverpool and Newcastle.
Coshcast: Steven Caldwell goes Under the Cosh. Again.
It’s the Coshcast! It’s been a weekend full of debate about decisions. Were they bad calls? Were they called well? All we know is that we’ve got Steven Caldwell on the pod and we couldn’t be happier about it.

This week on the Coshcast, much like on the altcoin exchanges it’s an absolute transfer frenzy.
Coshcast: Alexis Sanchez baby, Liverpool’s form is wavy

Yes ladies and gentleman like the plausible but threat of nuclear war, the Coshcast has returned. And what a week to do so!
The Second Half: Things to Expect in the EPL
Boxing day has arrived and the season’s second half has begun. The title race may be all but over, but the domestic cups are still to play for and the Europa and Champions League knockout stages have yet to commence. Just a few weekends ago we were delighted at the onset of another footballing season. Now, we find ourselves wondering how things will transpire as we prepare for another World Cup.
Coshcast: Pep’s perfect plan; Salah still the man
This week on the Coshcast, Manchester City slap Spurs to bits, Liverpool hit back at their critics, somewhere an old white man probably criticizes analytics, has Lukaku found his stride? Moyes has definitely hit his, and even old Roy is doing the business.
Under The Cosh
