Another week, another frustrating one for Manchester United fans!

United throw away a win against Spurs after conceding a last-minute equaliser, before suffering a 2-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid.

Is Michael Carrick running out of time? And what did we make of Martinez's comments after the game?

Meanwhile, Arsenal are flying! Back-to-back wins, including a tough test against Leeds. Mike is feeling confident, but is this finally the season Bukayo Saka proves he's genuinely world class?

We also get stuck into Man City's victory over Liverpool and, of course, those ongoing 115 charges. Mike has some VERY strong opinions on this one! 👀

And finally, we finish with our weekly predictions game. Who's taking the bragging rights this week?

⚽ In this episode:

• Man Utd's last-minute heartbreak against Spurs
• Atletico Madrid 2-0 United. Is Carrick's time up?
• Martinez's post-match comments
• Arsenal's winning run and the Saka world-class debate
• City beat Liverpool and the 115 charges controversy

⚠️ A quick warning before we start... this episode is FULL of technical difficulties!

For around half of the episode you can't actually see Adam's face. Some may argue that's an improvement, but he does eventually appear. 😂 Bear with us!

After our in-person 50th episode, Adam and Mike are back to discuss the latest developments surrounding Manchester City and what has happened since we last spoke.

We also look ahead to the return of the Premier League after the international break.

🔴 Manchester United face Spurs. What sort of United are we going to get?

🔴 Arsenal take on Leeds as Mike looks ahead to their return to league action.

And finally, it's time for another Factor 50 watch-along as we go back and revisit another game from the past.

Plenty of football, plenty of debate and considerably more technical problems than we'd have liked.

Let us know in the comments:

What do you think happens next with Manchester City?

How are you feeling about your team's return after the international break?

And most importantly... did you make it through the technical difficulties? 😂

🎙️ FACTOR 50 FOOTBALL — EPISODE 50!

We made it. 50 episodes. One year of Factor 50 Football.

So naturally, our big anniversary episode has been completely hijacked by Manchester City.

With City facing 114 alleged breaches of Premier League rules, we try to break down what is actually going on without needing a law degree to understand it.

We discuss:

⚽ What are Manchester City actually accused of doing?

⚖️ What should the punishment be if they are found guilty?

🏆 What could this mean for the Premier League and the titles City have won?

🐐 Does any of this change Pep Guardiola’s legacy?

💰 Could City really be relegated, stripped of titles or hit with a massive points deduction?

🔥 And what happens to the Premier League if the biggest punishment imaginable actually lands?

Plus plenty more football chat, arguments and probably some completely unnecessary digs at each other along the way.

50 episodes. One full year.

Thank you to everyone who has watched, listened, commented or subscribed since we started this thing.

Now… onto the small matter of potentially one of the biggest scandals in English football history.

👇 What punishment do YOU think Manchester City should receive if they’re found guilty?

Episode 49B: The Man United Takeover

It’s a Manchester United takeover on Episode 49B of the Factor 50 Football Podcast, as Blake returns for his second appearance to help us deep dive into everything going wrong — and right — at Old Trafford.

United have been held to a frustrating 1-1 draw by Fulham, and there’s plenty to unpack. Should Michael Carrick be sacked? Is this United squad actually good enough to compete at the level expected? Where are the biggest problems, who deserves the blame, and what needs to change?

With Blake in the hot seat, we get stuck into Carrick’s future, the quality of the squad, recruitment, tactics, expectations and everything in between.

And in completely unrelated news… Mike is conveniently unavailable for this one as Arsenal lose 3-0 to Brighton. Funny, that.

It’s a United-heavy special with plenty of debate, disagreements and probably a few uncomfortable truths.

Welcome to Factor 50 Football – Episode 49B.

⚽ Factor50 Football – Episode 49

This week on Factor50 Football, we’re breaking down another dramatic weekend in the Premier League.

Manchester United suffer a 1–0 defeat to Manchester City, with plenty of debate around the key refereeing decisions. Was Haaland onside? Was the offside player really not interfering with play? And beyond the controversy, we ask the bigger question: can Manchester United genuinely improve from here, or is this simply their level now?

Arsenal, meanwhile, keep the momentum going with a 2–0 win over Sunderland. They had their own refereeing controversy to deal with after conceding a penalty, but David Raya came to the rescue with the save.

We also take a wider look at the standard of refereeing in the Premier League and ask whether the officiating is good enough.

Plus, we’re looking for a co-host for next week’s episode — so if you fancy getting involved in the debate, get in touch.

🎙️ All that and more on Factor50 Football Episode 49.

Episode 48 of the Factor 50 Football Podcast is here!

This week, Adam reacts to Manchester United throwing away victory in a dramatic 2–2 draw with Everton, as former Arsenal man Ainsley Maitland-Niles scores a last-minute equaliser.

Mike, meanwhile, is delighted after Arsenal’s huge 2–1 victory over Chelsea.

The Champions League is also back! We discuss Manchester United’s long-awaited return to the competition and ask the big question: can Arsenal win the Champions League this season?

Finally, we return to the Factor 50 prediction game—and Mike has enjoyed a very good week…

FACTOR 50 FOOTBALL – EPISODE 47 | DEADLINE DAY DRAMA!

The transfer window is CLOSED… so who smashed it, who messed it up, and who is going to regret their business? 👀

This week Adam and Mike break down all the biggest moves from Transfer Deadline Day, including the deals that came out of nowhere, the ones that collapsed and which Premier League clubs are looking strongest now the window has slammed shut.

🔴 Manchester United 5–2 Ipswich
Adam is in a MUCH better mood this week! United come from behind to smash Ipswich at Old Trafford, with Bruno Fernandes bagging a hat-trick. Was this the performance that finally showed what Michael Carrick’s United can be this season?

🔴 Aston Villa 0–1 Arsenal
Meanwhile, Mike has another Arsenal win to enjoy. The champions make it two wins from two after grinding out a 1–0 victory at Villa Park. Not spectacular — but is this exactly what champions do?

💰 TRANSFER DEADLINE DAY
We go through the winners and losers of the window, the biggest Deadline Day moves and, most importantly, give our verdict on Manchester United and Arsenal’s summer business.
