...and we're back! The Premier League, La Liga, and Ligue Un all kicked off this weekend, so we're back at it. Join Tosin, Coach and Deen for the first round of results from each league, along with season previews for all the most notable notables, including the action from Anfield, Man City's return (?), Newcastle and Villa's PSR Derby, Barcelona's trip to Mallorca, and tons more.

Matchday 1 of the Premier League featured the ‘Eritage Derby, aka, The SPS Derby.
Arsenal calmly stole a 1-0 win away at a much improved Manchester United, so the lads got into it with Tosin reppin’ his set and Coach representing the Gooners. Deen attempted to play the part of neutral host (you decide if he succeeded).
Join us for thoughts on Amorim’s improved team and Arsenal’s traditionally weird performance at Old Trafford.

Fellow Gooners, another new Arsenal season is upon us, so we figured we'd kick things off in the most special manner we could think of.
We're proud to welcome Andrew Mangan (of the Arsecast and Arseblog) onto SPS for Arsenal season preview. We talked transfers, the infamous left side, deep blocks, mid blocks, Italian leather, Mikel's job security, the club's aspirations, hate watches, the competition, and everything else we could get Andrew to opine on.
If we dare say so ourselves, this one's a fantastic episode!

Gooners… told y’all not to fuss so much. Join Coach and Deen for their review of Arsenal’s comfortable 3-0 win over Athletic Bilbao in their final preseason game.
Zubimendi played another blinder, Gyokeres got off the mark with a header, Havertz scored a “Gyokeres” transition goal, Declan Rice cooked in a double pivot, and Mikel had the boys playing more vertically.
And we discussed it all. Tap in!
Join Tosin as he reacts to Man Utd’s fourth summer signing, Benjamin Šeško. From his strengths and weaknesses to what he brings to Ruben Amorim's squad, Tosin breaks down the highs, lows, and everything in between.
He also discusses the future of Manchester United, why fans should be excited about the club's direction, and why cautious optimism might be the smartest approach.
If you’re a Man Utd fan, Šeško supporter, or just love football transfer news, this is for you.

Coach made it over to The Emirates (go watch ‘Coach’s Corner’ on YouTube live from the scene) and analyzed Arsenal’s sloppy 2-3 loss to Villarreal.
Gyokeres, Dowman, Martinelli, chemistry and more all get thoughts as we ramp up for a tough start to the season.

Tosin and Tomi are back… and so is Manchester United!
Preseason, player exits, the new signings, and Ruben Amorim’s non-negotia… ahem, “culture shift” comments are all on the docket.

The first ever North London Derby outside of London happened in Hong Kong and saw the lads lose 1-0 to the enemy, thanks to a lethargic preseason performance influenced by hot conditions, a dry pitch, and a ref out of his element. Nonetheless, Mitch and Deen found quite a bit to discuss, including individual performances, a potential Eberechi Eze transfer & much more.

Nigeria’s Super Falcons won their record extending TENTH Women’s AFCON in Morocco last weekend, while England made it back-to-back Euros wins against the favored Spain. Join Coach, Mitch, and Deen for that and more from around the world of footy, including transfers and the latest preseason games.

Arsenal’s second preseason game in Singapore resulted in a 3-2 win over Newcastle’s ogres, but the main and unavoidable talking point was Hale End’s latest 15-year old talent: Max Dowman.
Join Gabby, Coach & Deen for coverage of the football, violence, and their extremely unsuccessful attempt to CALMLY discuss what they’ve seen from the aforementioned teenager thus far.
Tap in!
The Arsenal is back!
Join Mitch and Deen for a review of Arsenal’s first preseason game against AC Milan. The 1-0 win featured new signings in the form of Kepa, Christian Norgaard, and Deen’s new favorite player, Martin Zubimendi! Ethan Nwaneri shined and there were other great cameos from established veterans and zygotes alike.

We don’t know about you lot, but we certainly didn’t expect the Brazilian clubs to dominate the Club World Cup, yet, here we are.
Join Tosin and Deen for the latest from the least most wanted summer tournament ever, the transfer window, and the Gold Cup.
Tap in!
Summer’s typically the time for footy obsessives to take a break from club football to devote their divided attention to international tournaments and non-footy interests, but FIFA, in all its wisdom, decided to launch the Club World Cup. Great.
Join Tosin and Deen for a brisk trip through all the goings-on in world football over the last week, from the USMNT snapping a 4-game losing streak in their CONCACAF Gold Cup opener, to the sparsely attended and South American devoted Club World Cup.
