Episode Episode 217 - These 4 Teams Are the Only REAL Champions League Contenders
The Champions League is back and the new format has thrown up total chaos, meaning almost anyone can go through. Patrick and Ted break down where the early betting value is, why Man United might have landed the toughest league phase schedule in the competition, and why Como are the most fun longshot in Europe. Then it's onto the Premier League weekend: Arsenal ground down Chelsea without ever looking rattled, Spurs were boring in the best possible way against Forest, and Manchester United's identity questions are back.
