  • Did Arsenal admit Man City are the better side and can Ten Hag handle big players? | Three Up Front
    Sep 26 2024

    It's only two up front on the show this week as Simon Jordan and Graeme Souness tackle some of the big questions around the Premier League:

    Did Arsenal show an inferiority complex against Manchester City? Was Erik Ten Hag wrong to bring up Marcus Rashford's lifestyle and is Julen Lopetegui's position under threat at West Ham?

    Graeme and Simon debate Arsenal's approach after they went down to 10 men at Manchester City. Did Arteta's approach show their fear of City or was it the best way to go? Graeme argues they were too negative and explains why he thinks City won't care that they haven't beaten Arsenal in their last 3 league meetings. They also discuss Trossard's red card and whether players should take some of the blame for bending the rules.

    Please note that his episode was recorded before the news about Rodri's injury became public.

    With just one win in his first 5 games, how much pressure is on West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui? Simon gives his verdict on how long he might have and explains the thought process of a chairman when the team is getting bad results.

    Finally, Simon and Graeme look ahead to Manchester United v Tottenham this weekend and discuss whether managers should bring up a player's lifestyle in the press after Erik Ten Hag's recent comments about Marcus Rashford. This leads to a debate over whether Ten Hag can handle big stars, but is it also maybe the last chance saloon for Rashford at United?

  • David Haye | If you give it the big’un and you flop, you’re gonna get stick 💥
    Sep 19 2024

    In this episode, we are joined by two-weight world champion David Haye. He’s one of only three men - with Evander Holyfield and Oleksandr Usyk - to have won world titles at both cruiserweight and heavyweight.

    After becoming the first Brit to reach a world amateur final, David turned pro and quickly became known for punching power, as illustrated when he stopped both Jean-Marc Mormeck and Enzo Maccarinelli to become the unified cruiserweight world champion. He then moved up to heavyweight where, despite conceding 7 stone in weight, he beat the giant 7ft-plus Russian Nikolay Valuev to become the WBA champion. Eventually, he faced Wladimir Klitschko in a unification bout but he was soundly beaten and his post-fight excuse of a broken little toe severely damaged his standing among fight fans. Thereafter, came controversy and frustration: a much-publicised brawl with Derek Chisora in Germany led to a contest between the pair where David was victorious. But, a highly anticipated fight with Tyson Fury fell through as David suffered injuries that would keep him out of the ring for a long time. He eventually returned and fought Tony Bellew twice before retiring following his defeat in their rematch.

    Despite his success, David has been a sometimes divisive figure with the boxing public. Here, he tackles everything: becoming a two-weight world champion, his defeats to Klitschko and Bellew, why he made some of his controversial statements, and he gives his thoughts on Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. He also explains why Saudi Arabia’s takeover is good for boxing and tantalisingly, he reveals whether his career may not yet be over.

  • NLD is a MUST-WIN for both teams and have English clubs underachieved in the UCL? | Three Up Front
    Sep 12 2024

    The Champions League is back and looking very different this season. But will it be more entertaining?

    Simon, Graeme and Troy discuss the new format and question whether English teams have been really punching their weight until now.

    Graeme explains why Arsenal must win the North London derby. Simon asks whether fans are too loyal to homegrown talent that simply isn't good enough for the first team and Troy suggests that Arsenal's left wing slot is up for grabs, and that Raheem Sterling is the man to take it.
