Episode notes

Welcome back to ‘It’s All Kicking Off!’


Where else to start than the borefest that was the Manchester Derby… Ian and Chris challenge Gary Neville’s claim that this is because players are being micromanaged, with the lads dismissing this entirely. 


Ian reckons that Phil Foden should be left out of his side’s travelling party for the Club World Cup this summer, as the England international desperately seeks to regain some form. 


There’s also chat about: the decision not to award a penalty to Arsenal, Jordan Pickford’s Everton heroics, Southampton’s lamentable return to the Premier League and the danger of rage-baiting in the modern era.


Presenters: Ian Ladyman and Chris Sutton

Producer: Henry Williams
