More magic of the cup already has 3 non-league clubs advancing to the 3rd round, and one club with local ties for the boys is in their city of Annapolis. www.Dufootballshow.com Support the show and get extra content: https://www.patreon.com/dufootballshow Facebook @DUfootballshow Instagram @DUfootballshow Twitter @DUfootballshow YouTube @DUfootballshow

The top of the Championship all blew their opportunities as Leicester lost twice, Ipswich could only manage draws and Leeds got a single point and then lost at home.

The Sam’s open with a change at the top of the championship as Leicester won Leeds lost and Ipswich lost in the Old Farm Derby 1-0 to Norwich. Portsmouth is getting closer and closer to not just promotion but winning League 1, while Carlisle United gets the dubious distinction of being the first club relegated in all of professional football. Mansfield lost badly in League 2, and despite being around the top all season they now find themselves outside the automatic promotion spots now.   www.Dufootballshow.com   Facebook @DUfootballshow Instagram @DUfootballshow Twitter @DUfootballshow YouTube @DUfootballshow    

This week the Sam’s open with the bottom of the table where both Luton and Everton won… wait Everton won, why yes they did. The Northwest Derby sees Liverpool now trailing Arsenal in the table.

English Premier League Midweek games did not disappoint, and Chelsea Man U was wild. The whole week had a lot of early goals, Phil Foden got a hat trick over Villa, Arsenal got a chance to rest for a week with an easy win over Luton, Forest finally showed up at home, the Cherries stay on A roll, and the nil-nil match was entertaining.  Unfortunately, we can't go a week without talking about points deductions.    Match order Chelsea 4 - Man United 3 Manchester City 4 - Aston Villa one arsenal 2 Luton 0 Liverpool 3 Sheffield 1  Everton 1 Newcastle 1  Forest 3 Fulham 1 Burnley 1 Wolves 1 Bournemouth 1 Crystal Palace 0 West Ham 1 Tottenham 1  Brentford 0 Brighton 0   www.Dufootballshow.com Support the show and get extra content: https://www.patreon.com/dufootballshow www.DUdripshack.com Facebook @DUfootballshow Instagram @DUfootballshow Twitter @DUfootballshow YouTube @DUfootballshow

The Championship completely flipped the script this week as Ipswich leap-frogged everyone into first place. Three teams are separated by a point each. League 1 could be decided this week as Pompey gets ready to host Derby, it would seem the playoff is mostly decided too. In League 2 Stockport has moved back into 1st as Wrexham beat Mansfield but it’s looking like all three are heading to automatic promotion. www.Dufootballshow.com   Facebook @DUfootballshow Instagram @DUfootballshow Twitter @DUfootballshow YouTube @DUfootballshow

This week the Sam’s open with the match everyone had their eye on, Newcastle and West Ham! I know everyone thought it would be City and Arsenal, but we also talked about Fulham’s shootout with the Blades before that too. Another match for Everton and another shot of Malort for big Sam.

It was limited matches throughout the EFL as international duty affects teams in the championship and League 1 but that’s not gonna stop the Sam’s from talking about League 2. They also take a moment to catch up on the National League along with the north and south divisions to see how some of the darlings of the FA Cup did. Also, a few surprising clubs have dropped into the lower non-leagues. www.Dufootballshow.com Facebook @DUfootballshow Instagram @DUfootballshow Twitter @DUfootballshow YouTube @DUfootballshow

No matches in the Prem but it doesn’t mean the league didn’t give the Sam’s something to talk about. Forest received their point deduction, and Everton faces their second charge as Leicester has now been charged too. What does all of this mean, hell if the Sam’s know but they sure as heck talk about it. What does this mean for other clubs and the league? Could this push the Big 6 to a “super league”?   The Sam’s do this while enjoying #5 on Whisky Advocates’ top 20 of 2023 the Wild Turkey Masters Keep Voyage.

This week the Sam’s open with Luton Towns roller coaster of a week. Losing to Bournemouth, drawing Forest, and then seeing Forest get a points deduction.

The Sam’s open with the Manchester Derby outside of a screamer of a goal by Rashford, it was a one-sided affair for City.
