Everyone at the Cycling GK is saddened to learn of the passing of former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson, who has died at the age of 76.
________________________________________________________________________________________
Noni Madueke ensured he was the in the news for the right reasons after his earlier mishap on social media about Wolverhampton… The youngster bagged a hat-trick as Chelsea hit Wolves for 6 in Enzo Maresca’s first away match in charge of the Blues.
Ben, Tom and Watto also went through the rest of the action from an action-packed weekend in the top-flight, including a stunning save from David Raya in Arsenal’s 2-0 win at Aston Villa and Erling Haaland’s TENTH Man City hat-trick as they smashed Ipswich.
Joao Pedro grabbed a late winner for Brighton on Saturday as they beat Manchester United 2-1 at the AMEX. The former Watford man got the winner deep into added time after Danny Welbeck had earlier netted his 100th club goal of his career.
Arne Slot’s first competitive game at Anfield as Liverpool boss saw him get off to winning ways againt Brentford, whilst Spurs were in fine form as they hit four past a sorry looking Everton.
Elsewhere, there were wins for Fulham, West Ham and Nottingham Forest and VAR was once again a sore topic as Bournemouth were denied a last-minute winner against Newcastle.
All that to come plus an epic Quiz, let’s go!

Good morning you lovely lot!
We hope you enjoy this weeks episode. We’ve listened to your comments and gone back to covering every game.
Hopefully Mark can join us next week. With his own podcast it’s really tricky for Mark to commit every week ❤
Have the fellas forgotten that Arsenal signed Havertz as their straight up number 9 last season?
This is literally the only youtube football channel run by former players that is even remotely watchable! Lovely content guys, absolutely love it!
The insight from watto regarding second and third phase vulnerabilities was great 👍🏻 🤝
Finally someone with a good take about Arsenal's forward situation, it would be such a huge transition in a position which was crucial in getting the 49/54 pts, 55 goals and 9 conceded in that 2nd half of the season. You don't change a position that wasn't a problem
Watto being 50 but looks 43 is crazy 😅
Get kloop on Ben!
Pretty sure some of the xg modellers said that XG really doesn't adapt well to counter attacks and overloads or something of that nature and thats probably why the disparity in the Wolves vs Chelsea game was like +4.6. Alongside some of the finishing from Chelsea being top class.
Didnt Kane also get 4 assists against Southampton in 2020/1
PAUL POGBA!!!!!!!!!!!!
RIP Sven-Goran Eriksson.
Poor start for Everton but with only 14 first time players available that's going to hurt anyone. Lost to two teams you'd expect them to lose to even with a fully fit team but it's a terrible start and won't help the teams confidence what so ever. Was thinking they'd be safe this season but I'm not convinced now.
Just like to say I’m currently ahead on the quiz board. Catch up
goldbridge is a pratt for ducking 2 weeks in a row
not sure if you know but the prem changed the handball rule again so its no longer the sleave but the airpit line (apparently its because some teams have shorter sleaves than others so rather than mandating a sleave length rule, they decided to make it even harder to make handball decisions).
Absolutely love watching you guys, look forward to it every week. Didn't think Fozzy would be the ex Man Utd player I'd be following the most all those years ago
Some of the quiz stats are in accurate.
Ipswich were away from the premier league for 22 years (2002-2024)
Ben i would love a collab with Ronaldo about old united days or soemething
About time Dave Watson appears on SKY/BBC/Prime/Major platforms too! Fantastic pundit. ✨
Ben Watto and Goldbridge are the trio we need. Bring it back.
Hey there Ben! I’m just starting 11 aside but I have to prove that I can play in goals. I normally play striker or cm, do you have any advice for me to show my coaches? Thanks!
Pope yes he can do what you’ve said. But his kicking is utter shit
