Paul Scholes & Nicky Butt On Arne Slot’s Future, VAR Controversy & Man United To Win The Title?

Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and Paddy McGuinness are back with another episode of The Good, The Bad & The Football. The lads relive the chaos at Anfield as Manchester City snatched it late to beat Liverpool, with Scholesy and Butty full of praise for the champions’ comeback mentality. Nicky also gives his verdict on the goalkeeping for Dominik Szoboszlai’s free-kick - insisting Gianluigi Donnarumma should have done better - while the panel discuss why the result will have felt like a punch in the stomach for Arsenal players watching on. There’s a deeper dive into the title race too: does this City squad’s number of non-title winners matter? Do Arsenal have the fear factor of the great Premier League sides? And do Gunners fans head to games expecting victory yet?Attention then turns to Liverpool, where pressure is beginning to mount on Arne Slot, before the focus shifts to Manchester United. The team debate the dilemma facing the United hierarchy over whether to give Michael Carrick the head coach job permanently, praise the form of Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo and there's even a mention of United possibly being involved in a title bid in the coming seasons. Meanwhile, they also have some words for some of the pundits now rowing back on their earlier takes about Ruben Amorim's suitability for managing the club. There’s also a message for the United Strand over a potential haircut, a heated discussion on Cristian Romero’s latest red card and his Spurs future - Scholesy says he would love him at Old Trafford — and questions over how safe Thomas Frank’s job really is.The lads also tackle a big football debate: what’s the greater achievement: the Treble, 100 Premier League points, four titles in a row, or conceding just 15 goals in a season? Later, the football chat gives way to chaos…again. Paddy is stunned by Scholesy’s lack of film knowledge, the boys pick their dream dinner guests (dead or alive), prompting Nicky to share stories of a meal with Diego Maradona and a game of pool with Nelson Mandela, and Paddy reveals why he’s covered in fake tan… and just how far the spray went.If you want to ask the guys anything about football email them at: questions@goodbadfootball.co.uk.Follow The Good, The Bad & The Football:YouTube: www.youtube.com/@goodbadfootballpodInstagram: @goodbadfootballpodX/Twitter: @goodbadftblpodTikTok: goodbadfootballpodFacebook: www.facebook.com/goodbadfootballpod Learn more about your ad choices.
