World Class New Class

About this episode

The episode discusses the latest Premier League headlines and debates who deserves the 'world class' label in football.

We’re back with another packed episode, covering all the latest Premier League headlines plus a round-up of key stories from across world football. We dive into the magic of domestic cups, spotlight the games to look forward to this weekend, and then tackle the big debate: who truly deserves the “world class” label? Using a strict definition, we break down which players have actually earned that status over the last few seasons — and ask the uncomfortable question: are we finally approaching a year where the sport moves on from the familiar GOATs of football? Plenty of takes, plenty of arguments, and no shortage of passion. Tune in and let us know who makes your world class list.
