Episode Description
Patrick and Ted kick things off with a bit of managerial madness.
Tottenham Hotspur turn to Igor Tudor in the middle of a relegation battle, while Nottingham Forest move on from Dyche. Are Spurs actually a Champions League-level squad? Is this dysfunction structural? And what do the underlying numbers really say about Forest’s performances?
From there, it’s all about the Champions League playoffs:
• Benfica vs Real Madrid: vibes vs tactics, deep blocks, and whether Madrid are quietly stabilising
• Borussia Dortmund vs Atalanta BC: chaos merchants collide
• Club Brugge vs Atlético Madrid: Simeone volatility and Brugge upset potential
• Galatasaray vs Juventus: Turkey away nights and Juve’s quiet resurgence
• Olympiacos vs Bayer Leverkusen: Bundesliga instability meets Greek knockout pedigree
• AS Monaco vs Paris Saint-Germain: are PSG ominously clicking again?
They also dig into how to think about betting edges in volatile leagues, when not to gamble, and who the real Champions League favourite is right now. Enjoy!
