Scholes & Butt On Arteta's Biggest Problem, Tottenham's Crisis & Tuchel's England Squad!

The Good, The Bad & The Football is back with another brilliant episode. Paul, Nicky and Paddy kick things off with Manchester City’s League Cup win over Arsenal, with Scholesy calling it a “victory for football”. But where did it go wrong for Arsenal? Scholesy argues that Kepa Arrizabalaga’s mistake distracted from just how poor Arsenal were overall and questions whether they have the flair to play expansive football, while Nicky believes the Gunners are simply panicking in their pursuit of a trophy. They also reflect on a brilliant day for Nico O'Reilly, but how did his 21st birthday really compare to Paddy’s? Attention then turns to Tottenham Hotspur’s 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest, with Nicky suggesting Spurs fans made the occasion too big before a ball was kicked. The lads debate whether Igor Tudor has come in too hard on the squad, and discuss how Tottenham can still salvage their season, but who could they turn to to drag them away from trouble. Nicky reflects on how Kevin Keegan’s return once revitalised Newcastle United, while they weigh up whether Liam Rosenior was fortunate to land the Chelsea job and if Frank Lampard could one day return. There’s a chat on the latest England squad. The lads question the absence of Danny Welbeck and Ollie Watkins, and tackle why Trent Alexander-Arnold has fallen from favour, while Scholesy raises concerns about the form of England’s No.10s, including Cole Palmer, Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham, while also revealing which one of himself, Steven Gerrard and Lampard he thinks Thomas Tuchel would have dropped back in the day. Finally, things descend into chaos as the lads attempt to name their Mount Rushmore of Premier League legends. Paddy goes for a full English, Scholesy leans heavily towards Manchester United… and it all gets very heated. If you want to ask the guys anything about football email them at: ⁠[email protected]⁠.
