  • EPLpod: Arsenal suffer another Bayern bruising

    EPLpod: Arsenal suffer another Bayern bruising

    It’s that time of the season again. The time when Arsenal do an Arsenal and get battered black and blue at the hands of Bayern Munich. Same again next season right?

    Elsewhere, PSG dish out a battering of their own after a shock 4-0 win over Barcelona. And, back in Premier League land, Gabriel Jesus is feeling sorry for the shunned Sergio Aguero and has gotten himself injured until the end of the season. How very thoughtful.

  • EPLpod: Beware of Hazard

    EPLpod: Beware of Hazard

    Has Eden Hazard’s Chelsea delivered the final knock out blow that will send the Premier League title back to Stamford Bridge? If a dazed Hector Bellerin is anything to go by, it certainly seems so.

    Left to fight amongst themselves the rest of the pack below Chelsea, saw Liverpool continue their relegation form at Hull, Manchester United gave free falling Leicester yet more to sweat about and Jesus left it late for Pep’s men.

    For all this and so much more, Listen to Mike and Paul in the latest episode of EPLpod below:

  • Who ate all the pies? Adam Lallana, that’s who

    Who ate all the pies? Adam Lallana, that’s who

    Taking time out from stuffing his face with bacon baps, Adam Lallana has revealed the mouth watering lengths he goes through to keep-up his unrelenting energy levels.

    Running man Lallana often tops the distance covered charts in the Premier League, and given the amount he’s wolfing down each day it’s easy to see why he’s so motivated to burn off the calories.

    Speaking to Liverpool’s official website with a full mouth of food and crumbs flying every which way, Lallana gave a run down of his diet over a 48 hour period that sandwiched the Manchester City and Sunderland games. Here’s what the greedy midfielder managed to chew his way through:

    7.30pm – Full plate of pasta in the dressing room immediately after the City game.

    10.30pm – Another big plate of pasta with meat at home.

    Sleep – Presumably this is when Lallana has nightmares about people throwing out scraps.

    7.45am – Toast in bed.

    10.00am – Weetabix and a banana.

    12.00pm – Two bacon and egg sandwiches made by his starving dad.

    3.00pm – Arrives at training for Yoghurt and a Ryvita-type bread with chicken on and a shake.

    5.30pm – Pasta, chicken and veg.

    8.30pm – Arrive at the Stadium of light and promptly stuff two big sandwiches, packed with meat, and a yoghurt from the sandwich station.

    Sleep – Counting donuts jump over fences.

    Match day morning – “Eat as much as you can.”

    So there you have it. If you want to run like Adam Lallana, you’d better start eating everything in sight. For motivation, here’s a live ‘feed’ from Melwood of Lallana tucking into some carbs after training.

  • EPLpod: Manchester City may be dopes, but are they doping?

    EPLpod: Manchester City may be dopes, but are they doping?

    Where has it all gone wrong for Manchester City? On the field Pep has been left scratching his head and gazing into the abyss, while off the field City are facing questions over possible doping. Mike and Paul leave no stone unturned in order to get to the bottom of this developing story. However, it’s likely that the only way we’ll know for sure is if a drug test is carried out for the Manchester City team. If you’re not sure on what doping in sport is, it is essentially the use of banned athletic performance-enhancing drugs which will give those using them an unfair advantage over other sportsmen not using them, regardless of technique or fitness levels. There are five classes of these banned drugs, including stimulants and hormones. Regardless of the type, doping ruins the equality of sports and is a form of cheating. Therefore, due to the severity of doping, various drug tests are usually carried out routinely for athletes to ensure that doping is not occuring in any sportsmen. This is where Countrywide Tesing comes in handy, with various drug tests, including a hair follicle test, available for sports teams to use on their members. This is an efficient way of handling drug misuse.

    Elsewhere, plucky Liverpool scrape by Plymouth in the FA Cup and Manchester United top the table. The money table that is.
