The Football Hour

“I’m sorry” were the words Jurgen Klopp used after his sides 3rd home defeat in 7 days. It leaves us thinking, is the season over for the Scousers? Well, if they lose to table toppers Chelsea midweek, the title challenge is DEAD for the REDS. Alex and Dom are back and in much better form than Klopps team. Is Henderson and Can the central midfield partnership for the future? Is Mane getting better the more time he spends away from Anfield? And much more get The Football Hour treatment!

This player has given a lot to football, so it is quite right we give a lot of praise to Gerrard once he announces he has retired. Steven Gerrard is a goal scorer, a defender and an all-round excellent midfield player. He could do almost anything. Alex Mearns is just a regular football fan who presents football podcasts because of players like, Steven Gerrard. He decided to show his appreciation to a player who gave a lot to all Premier League football fans. Steven Gerrard is Mr. Liverpool and we sure do give him the credit he deserves on this podcast. #LIVERPOOL #REDMEN #STEVENGERRARD #GERRARD #LFC #PREMIERLEAGUE #ANFIELD #YOULLNEVERWALKALONE

We pick the best 11 players from the 3 worst teams in the Premier League, to make a team, which would hopefully avoid relegation. Sunderland, have improved in recent weeks, but are still looking like a side which are hanging onto their Premier League status. The Swans, are just having a nightmare of a season, its probably the first time since the team got promoted, seasons and seasons ago that the welsh club look like they might get relegated. Hull City, will its no surprise this team are in and around the bottom 3. An awful summer, which included Steve Bruce leaving and Mike Phelan taking the job. Then barely any summer transfers, the boys from the Humber will be lucky to stay up. #Sunderland #Swansea #Hull #SAFC #SCFC #HCFC #PremierLeague #EPL #Defoe #Sigurdsson #Snodgrass

Leeds lost 2-0 to Newcastle, after 2 Gayle goals. It was a weird match, for a match that has been anticipated for what seemed like months over the international break. It felt a little flat from the whites. Newcastle on the other hand showed their class, a top team, with a top manager, who pay top wages. This Leeds podcast from Alex Mearns, is a rallying call to all other LUFC fans to stay calm, get behind all the players and we’ll be fine, I’m still excited.

The Premier League is back and it was an early one for Manchester United and Arsenal on Saturday. Rooney didn’t start, but we all know he doesn’t like early starts. Despite their captain’s absence, Mourinho's men were very decent, you couldn’t say the same about Arsenal. The gunners who have their sights set on a title, just weren’t the same side this weekend. BUT……… It ended 1-1, Giroud came on and nutted a brilliant equaliser. So, us lads at The Football Hour thought we’d talk everything. Arsenal and Manchester United. #manchesterunited #Arsenal #manutd #manunited #gunners #mourinho #premierleague #bpl #title #rooney #wenger

Welcome to part 2 of our Premier League Review where we are looking at all the teams fighting to avoid the drop this season.

Today's Title Watch episode is a bit of a debatable one? Alex thinks Everton are worth talking about in this tight race at the top as they are currently sitting 6th in the Premier League table only 5 points off the top & we've done an episode on Man Utd who are lingering in mid-table, so Mearns thought why not Everton? Dom on the other hand thought this pod was a pointless idea? However as you can see they did it anyways! They discuss the improvements they've made this season under Ronald Koeman, their key players, the development of the ever-inconsistent Ross Barkley & even the possibility of Wayne Rooney's return. #TITLEWATCH #EFC #PL #PREMIERLEAGUE #EVERTON #KOEMAN #LUKAKU #BOLASIE #BARKLEY #ROONEY #EPL #BPL Presented by Alex Mearns & Dom Betts Edited by Dom Betts

The boys on The Football Hour were unsure whether spurs could challenge again for the league, like they did last season? Going the whole of the start of the season unbeaten is a good response from spurs, to silence the doubters. Can they keep the run going and actually win the clubs first premier league title? It’s a big ask, but you might have a better idea after listening to this podcast. Enjoy! #TITLEWATCH #SPURS #THFC #TOTTENHAM #LONDON #PREMIERLEAGUE #ALLI #KANE #POCHETTINO #LAMELA #DIER Presented by Alex Mearns & Dom Betts Edited by Dom Betts

Klopp is currently wowing every football fan at the moment, his passion and energy certainly rubs off on his players. Liverpool are sitting joint top of the league with City and Arsenal. At the start of the season the boys on The Football Hour were undecided whether Liverpool could finally win their first premier league title, Dom even said they wouldn’t make the top 4. We have reanalysed our thoughts after 9 premier league matches, because we’ve been blown away with Liverpool’s attacking flare and Defensive structure. #TITLEWATCH #LFC #LIVERPOOL #LIVERPOOLFC #KLOPP #STURRIDGE #ANFIELD #PREMIERLEAGUE Presented by Alex Mearns & Dom Betts Edited by Dom Betts

Leeds United defeated Norwich at Elland Road to progress to the quarter finals of the league cup. The game was a tight match, like many Leeds games this season, so tight it went all the way to penalties. The hero was surprisingly, outcast Marco Silvestri who saved 3 of Norwich’s 5 pens. This podcast is about more than just the Norwich game, it’s about the change in atmosphere around Leeds United and Elland Road, the positivity Leeds fans now feel towards their club. It has been a tough few years under Massimo Cellino, his inability to not sack managers or sell Leeds best players has been tough on fans. But, under the calming leadership of Garry Monk, Leeds look fresh, new and exciting. Hopefully the good run in the league and cup will continue. #LUFC #LEEDS #LEEDSUNITED #EFL #LIVERPOOL #NORWICH #CHAMPIONSHIP #GARRYMONK Presented by Alex Mearns Edited by Dom Betts

It is 6 games without a win for Manchester City and Pep Guardiola now, but his side do remain top of the Premier League, albeit on goal difference. It was a tremendous start for City, the passing, the pep, the players weren’t making mistakes. But, now the same players are making mistakes. Letting in cheap goals is costing them big. Are these mistakes going to cost them the title? Have a listen to see what Alex and Dom think. #TITLEWATCH #MANCHESTER #MANCHESTERCITY #MANCITY #MCFC #CITY #PEP #STONES #SILVA #GUARDIOLA #JOEHART #PREMIERLEAGUE
