Welcome to this week’s episode! Ross Cooper hosts with Matt, while Dean joins in from South Korea via a single sheet of A4 paper... We look back at a frustrating Monday night at Spurs, where Jack Rudoni’s equaliser wasn’t enough and Tottenham ran out 3-1 winners to claim their first win of the season. We dig into the problems the team are facing right now, how Carl Rushworth has started the campaign, and that James Maddison incident, with his goal and celebration against his boyhood club leaving a sour taste amongst some of the fanbase.

Welcome to this week’s episode! Dean and Ross Cooper look back at a memorable Monday night at the CBS Arena, as Coventry beat Newcastle 4-1 for their first home win of the season, and the club’s first Premier League home win in 25 years. We go through the key incidents that shaped the game, from Jack Rudoni’s early penalty to Sidiki Cherif’s first Premier League start and 18-year-old Stephen Mfuni’s goal off the bench. We also get into the potential unrest in the squad, and have our say on the reaction from Newcastle fans and journalists after the game, which was pretty disrespectful towards the Sky Blues. Enjoy!

Welcome to this week's episode! Dean and Ross Cooper reflect on a historic night at the City Ground, as Jay Dasilva's first Coventry goal secured a 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest, and with it the club's first Premier League victory since 2001. We go through the key moments that shaped the result, including Carl Rushworth's pinpoint long ball that set up the winner and the nervy late VAR drama that saw Forest's equaliser controversially chalked off, as well as some of the key performers on the night. And after a brutal start to the campaign, we also talk about just how much this win means for belief and momentum heading into the international break.
