There are some apparent ground breaking premier league stories this week, and we dive right into them.
What is up with this Jose Mourinho taking the Manchester United job this summer business? Would this be a good deal or bad deal? Is it really necessary to sack Louis van Gaal?
Pep Guardiola if officially going to Manchester City. We all know that, but what does it mean for City players? Really, how great would a Manchester derby be?
Liverpool and ownership made headlines by freezing ticket prices after a massive fan protest, and they aren’t the only club to do so. Ticket prices aside, there are still other problems at the club.
With the league officially dropping the “Barclays,” they’ve unveiled their new logo. Was it necessary? How controversial is it?
Top of the table teams clash this weekend and we start previews with Leicester and Arsenal. Can Leicester increase their lead? Can Tottenham pull a Leicester and rip Man City’s defense apart? Just how scrappy will the Crystal Palace and Watford match-up be? The bottom of the table bash of Chelsea and Newcastle rounds out our show this week. Who will come out on top?

Treble Radio host, Arslan Siddiqui, is a Canadian who does not speak many languages, but he has definitely specialized in the language of the beautiful game. When his grasp of the language isn’t strong enough, he (tries) to substitute it with comedy. He is a Liverpool fan who started the ‘Anfield Alive’ column on Last Word On Sports, where he provides commentary and opinion on everything Liverpool and Premier League related. A university student and a young adult, he promises to provide entertainment and (a little bit of) knowledge!
