Arsenal fans Ekpen, Folarin and Matt believe that the boys have to win at Wolves and then at home to Chelsea to remain in the title race before Champions City play again. Exit from the Champions League followed the home league defeat to Aston Villa is causing some doubts with regards to the title race now that City are two points ahead on the table. There is hope. It is SIX to go.
In what could be the just part 1, Calvin 'Emeka Onwuka is joined in the pod by Okey Aguoro, Sola Aiyepeku and Deji Faremi to discuss Super Clubs, effects of big money on football clubs and the leagues in Europe. Before the meat of the discussion, there was a fascinating insight on how IICC Shootings Stars Football Club of Ibadan, Nigeria was run in the 70s, as narrated by Sola. That on its own deserves another podcast. Okey and Deji give their views as per Real and La Liga merchants. These gentlemen know their sport..
I am joined in the pod by UEFA A Licensed coach, Chuks Akuneto, UEFA C Licence coach and multiple FIFA World Cup and AFCON journalist, Wole Opatola; Dr Peter Ntephe in Houston - FIFA Licensed player rep and Dr Ekpen Omonbunde - Arsenal Season ticket holder to discuss which way football is going. The two coaches let us in on how it actually is from a coach's view. Drs Ntephe and Omonbunde speak from the fans' view of the game. 
I had the privilege of having Manchester United fans from across the world join me in the pod to talk about where the current team is and hopes for the next season.Vic joined in from Nairobi, Yomi was in Amsterdam, Bola, Bayo and Eze from Lagos and Doc Ijay and myself in London. There was a big split in views on what is responsible for the poor performance of the team, which gave room for each to speak their minds. For Bola, nothing can save the season, for others winning the FA Cup will be good enough. We named that one player we would want the club to sign next season, Vic named FOUR! 
It was raucous in the pod at some point. But, it was great fun. Bimboh Adekoya (Arsenal fan), "I am convinced that Arteta is building a team to dominate the PL and Europe for years...In this episode of the podcast, Adekoya was joined in the pod by Richard Awe, Mr Demosho (Man City), Sola Aiyepeku, Babatunde Koiki (Liverpool) and Kunle Aderibigbe (Arsenal) to discuss the title run-in which starts with Arsenal's visit to the home of the Champions, City. It was interesting to hear both Richard and Demo give us some insights on Man City. While Bimboh was bullish, Kunle was slightly cautious.. The Liverpool fans believe that Klopp will get more than a Carabao Cup for his send-off. 
Dr ET Peters while in university in Nigeria and playing football had her knee busted by a wicked tackle. It changed her vision and career choice she said in a post on X. I was fortunate enough to get her to come on the podcast to tell us about it. Very grateful for her time. I never thought she was even into sport until that post. She was the captain of her uni's volleyball team! 
According to Tunji Oke, Barcelona's 5-0 demolition of Real Madrid in December 2010 "was a performance." In this episode of our 'Five Series', Tunji is joined by Peter Ntephe, Yomi Okunowo and Nanu Ugwu to recall 5 memorable matches they have watched. Yomi was at the Maracana Stadium to see James Rodriguez score THAT goal at the 2014 World Cup.. Peter recalls the feeling as Nigeria U23s rally to beat Brazil at the Atlanta '96 football event. Hope you enjoy it..

A John Terry slip in the soggy pitch in Moscow 2008 was followed by an atrocious refereeing performance Vs Barcelona in 2009 to leave Chelsea fans wondering if they will ever get to the Champions League Holy Grail.In Munich in 2012, nobody gave them a chance vs Bayern at the Allianz Arena. Somehow, it happened. Nine years later, Thomas Tuchel's team defeated Man City to win Chelsea's 2nd CL win.I have gathered Chelsea fans in the pod to describe their feelings during those two matches apart. This is the 2nd part of the CL Wins mini-series. Liverpool fans have already shared theirs. Nanu, Sola and Dapo are in Lagos and join Kay who is in Abuja. I started by asking them a question...
