Mikel Arteta, Jose Mourinho, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer have been like yoyos this season - Each have been in perceived crisis for several periods of time, but who from the three bosses, managing Arsenal, Tottenham, and Man United respectively, will leave or be dismissed first? Luke, Frankie, and Simeon are back together on Drink It In for the first since January for a lively 45 minutes! Twitter: @DrinkItIn_Pod

As we enter this international break, Barnsley have just come off a 12-match unbeaten run, but remain 5th in the Championship under Valerian Ismael, and astonishingly are right up there in contention for promotion to the Premier League! One day after their disappointing 2-1 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday at Oakwell, Chris Mason from the Red Sky podcast joined Simeon & Frankie on Drink It In to offer some invaluable insight and optimism, as Barnsley look to end a 23-year wait for a top-flight return. Many thanks to @RedSkyBFC (the podcast's Twitter handle) for their contribution to @DrinkItIn_Pod (our Twitter & Instagram handle) - Enjoy!

Who'd have thought it? As we hit mid-March, West Ham are staking a serious claim to be in next season's Champions League, while champions Liverpool languish towards the lower end of the Premier League's top-half. Callum Hibberd & James Martin, supporters of West Ham & Liverpool respectively, join Simeon today for their Drink It In debuts. @DrinkItIn_Pod

In spite of yesterday's set back in the 183rd Manchester Derby, Manchester City are still expected to win the Premier League - it's surely a case of when not if. So presuming they do bounce back in 2020/21 and lift the title for a third season out of four, not to mention what could await in the FA Cup, League Cup, and the Champions League, how does this rebuilt team of Pep Guardiola's measure up against his own Centurions, Sir Alex Ferguson's treble-winning heroes of 1999, and other iconic Premier League teams? And is the dream of Pep emulating or even bettering his Barcelona side of 2008/09, 2009/10, and 2010/11 achievable? Sim & Frankie discuss all of that, after giving their on the whistle reaction to Manchester City 0-2 Man United. @DrinkItIn_Pod on socials!

Simeon Wright and Frankie Christou mull over the Premier League relegation battle brewing between Fulham, Newcastle United, and Brighton & Hove Albion, before taking a look at the annual promotion scrap taking place in the Championship, as Mick McCarthy continues to work his magic in his latest job, managing Cardiff City.

It's surely a strength to admit when you're wrong, right? Well there also comes a time when you have little choice, but Simeon and Frankie have chosen in this podcast to shine an unflattering yet very good-natured and humorous light on a few of this season's errors of punditry heard right here on Drink It In. @DrinkItIn_Pod on Twitter & Instagram

Earlier today legendary Blues midfielder Frank Lampard's 18-month reign as manager came to an end, as he became the 10th boss sacked by Roman Abramovich. Former PSG and Borussia Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel is expected to arrive imminently through the revolving Stamford Bridge door - Luke and Sim devote just under 25 minutes to today's big news.

Drink It In [_Pod] is back for its first edition of 2021, with Luke, Frankie, and Sim back together behind the mics (remotely, of course). The team discuss Leeds United's knife-edge present and future, as Marcelo Bielsa continues to play kamikaze football, and draw in copious amounts of praise regardless of their results, before attention switches to the [somewhat lost] art of the number 10 in Premier League sides. @DrinkItIn_Pod on Twitter & Instagram, DRINK IT IN PODCAST for YouTube content!

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has stopped scoring, and Aston Villa trounced them last time out, so it is now time for Simeon and Frankie to place Mikel Arteta firmly under the microscope, as the Arsenal boss edges towards 12 months in the job. Elsewhere, fellow semi-crisis club Manchester United and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are assessed, while Pep Guardiola has extended his contract, and the constant moaning about the number of substitutes permitted and kickoff times continues from other members of the top six. It's a 70-minute corker from @DrinkItIn_Pod
