    Joel Beya and Ste Howson join Rio after a weekend where Manchester United suffered a record equalling NINTH home league defeat. The trio discuss reasons why Hojlund is getting frustrated with teammates not providing him with more chances and how manager Ruben Amorim’s quotes and interviews could translate into the player’s mentality.


    After struggling to comprehend the vitriol faced by Trent Alexander-Arnold, Rio invites Liverpool supporter Shea onto the pod to try and see it from his perspective and Shea wastes no time in laying out his thoughts on the defender leaving for Real Madrid on a free. That debate prompts Rio to reflect on the way academy graduates are treated by clubs now and also when he was playing at Old Trafford.


    Joel picks up on Jamie Carragher’s comments about Declan Rice and discusses how long players will continue to believe in manager Mikel Arteta if they consistently can’t get over the final hurdle to win a trophy.

  • Peter Crouch | Delap or Osimhen for Man Utd? Where should Isak go? KDB or Gerrard?
    Apr 28 2025
    Peter Crouch joins Rio and Joel to discuss Liverpool’s Premier League title win after they beat Spurs at Anfield. According to Rio, Crouchy gives the BEST explanation of why Liverpool supporters are responding differently to the possibility of Trent Alexander Arnold leaving the club compared to Mo Salah and Virgil Van Dijk and Rio wonders whether the celebrations with supporters might make him want to stay.
    Crouchy gives his opinion on whether Manchester United should sign Liam Delap or Victor Osimhen and says why Alexander Isak could make the same impact as Virgil Van Dijk if he prioritises a move to Liverpool in the summer.
    The former Englands striker admits he wouldn’t enjoy playing in today’s football because of the lack of service for number 9s so Joel asks him to pick 4 current midfielders to feed him in a dream lineup.
    Rio and Crouchy reminisce about days with England together, the training drill that made players most nervous and why Steven Gerrard is held in the highest regard by his former Liverpool team mate.
