About this episode
The episode discusses recent Premier League matches and the state of football engagement, featuring insights from Ruud Gullit.
Daniel Tiluk and Have Hope discuss Arsenal beating Brighton and Chelsea, Manchester City dropping points against Nottingham Forest, and where these results leave the Premier League title race? Ruud Gullit thinks football is no longer engaging and fun to watch, but is his reasoning too tied to English football? To the extent he is correct, what factors in English/football are problematic, and can the FIFA World Cup (despite Gianni Infantino's constant meddling) breathe life into the game?
