Welcome dear listener to the second episode of the 6th season of the pod. I’m Paul and I am joined by Daz and Sean. We are days away from the 2024-25 season. And a real game may take away the bad taste of the news around transfers and new contracts..


Part One - pre-season wraps up:



  • Sevilla and Las Palmas



  • Lessons learned:




    • Team selections?



    • Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz



    • Midfield without Zubimendi but with Ryan Gravenberch



    • Nyoni?




  • Uncertainty surrounding so many players in the squad - feels like this will be destabilizing if the contracts are left to run down. 



  • Outlook for the season - what position would represent success?




Part Two - previewing Ipswich:



  • Team selection - the Sevilla team?



  • Ipswich - what do we know about them?




Part Three - Elsewhere:



  • Of the EPL winners of the last 11 seasons only 1 - us - is not under investigation for breaking spending rules 




    • Chelsea - can any of this work? What charges might they face?



    • 115 charges case being reviews soon



    • Leicester - guaranteed relegation?





We will be back next week with a review of the Ipswich game. Thanks to Daz and Sean for joining me, Paul. Thank you dear listener for joining us.
