Treble Radio: FA Cup, Derby Weekend, & Manager Feuds

All three hosts are back this week just in time for Arsenal’s Champions League exit. With just the Premier League to focus on, do Arsenal still have a shot at the title or is it a two horse race between Leicester and Tottenham?

Rafa Benitez has been hired at Newcastle, but can he save them from relegation or will his biggest impact on the league be his feud with Big Sam? Speaking of manager feuds, how much entertainment can we get from those alone? How well would a Premier League manager reality show do ratings wise?

The FA Cup magic is strong this season with Crystal Palace, Watford, and Everton already securing spots in the semifinals. Will West Ham or Manchester United grab the final spot?

Things are heating up in the league as the end of the season is approaching. Everton and Arsenal are facing off this weekend. Who will come out on top at Goodison Park? Will Chelsea create anything without Diego Costa against Dimitri Payet and West Ham? Benitez has his first Tyne Wear Derby this weekend, but can he help Newcastle to their first victory in over six matches against Sunderland? The Manchester Derby weekend, too, but it might come down to which team is struggling less.

Laura McFayden is a photographer living in the great city of Kansas City, Missouri. Her love for Manchester United is just as strong as her love for MLS club Sporting Kansas City and two time NWSL champions FC Kansas City. She is also an MLS editor for Last Word on Sports. She has played basketball, volleyball, softball, ran track, and did gymnastics, but none of those came close to soccer.

Eric Walcott is a Legislative Assistant in the Michigan House of Representatives by day, and a soccer fan 24/7. He’s played soccer his whole life and now covers MLS, Portland Timbers, and Arsenal for LWOS. Eric helped start the supporters group Sons of Ransom for NPSL club Lansing United because there’s nothing quite like standing in the crowd and supporting your local team every weekend. 4th place might not be a trophy, but THE FA CUP SURELY IS!

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!
