On the latest episode of The Good, The Bad & The Football, the lads react to Arsenal’s controversial win over West Ham. Scholesy and Nicky can’t believe how long officials took to rule on the incident. Paul argues Arsenal have scored plenty of perfectly legal set-piece goals this season, but Nicky says the complete lack of consistency proves VAR simply has to go. Scholesy goes even further, wondering if there’s any point having referees anymore. There’s also a big debate over Mateus Fernandes’s late chance against the Gunners. Paul insists it was a bad miss rather than a great save from David Raya, while Paddy argues that stop could end up winning Arsenal the Premier League title. The conversation then turns to player of the season contenders: is David Raya genuinely in the running and Bruno Fernandes deserve the FWA award? Nicky and Paul lift the lid on the chaos behind PFA Player of the Year voting in the past. They also turn their attention to the crisis at Real Madrid. Is Jose Mourinho the man to return? Nicky reveals what he genuinely loved about Mourinho during his time at Manchester United, why he thinks Jose really left Old Trafford, and the one thing he could have done better. The lads also debate whether they’d welcome Mourinho back to Old Trafford one day and there’s praise too for Marcus Rashford’s stunning free-kick in El Clasico. The boys discuss whether Chelsea have any chance against Manchester City in the FA Cup Final. Could this be Pep Guardiola’s final season at City? And if he does leave this summer, Paul reveals who he believes should replace him. Away from football, Paddy is left horrified after Scholesy casually reveals what he did for his 50th birthday, while the lads somehow end up debating whether Michael Jackson was the most famous person on the planet. Paddy and Nicky also clash over their very different memories of meeting Katherine Jenkins and, of course, this week’s completely random debate descends into chaos over the most important issue of all: the greatest sandwich filling ever. What starts as a harmless chat quickly turns into absolute carnage… If you want to ask the guys anything about football email them at: questions@goodbadfootball.co.uk.

Paddy, Scholesy and Nicky are joined by Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel to react to Manchester United’s 3-2 win over Liverpool. They break down how a dominant first-half performance turned into a nervy finish and why United lost control of the game. There’s a deep dive into Kobbie Mainoo’s return under Michael Carrick, his growing influence on the side, and the big midfield debate: who should partner him long-term - Sandro Tonali, Eduardo Camavinga or Adam Wharton? Peter brings up a surprise name who he thinks could fill that role. Nicky explains why he believes the United head coach role is Carrick’s to lose, while Peter highlights the importance of Steve Holland behind the scenes. There’s also a surprising take from Schmeichel on why he hopes Mainoo doesn’t go to the World Cup with England national football team. Elsewhere, Peter draws comparisons between Bayern Munich under Vincent Kompany and United’s iconic treble winners and why today’s football can feel over-coached, with Bayern a rare exception. Nicky reveals why United never feared losing under Sir Alex Ferguson, while Peter shares how you could tell what mood Fergie was in and why a certain biscuit tin became legendary at Old Trafford. There are throwback stories including a fiery dressing-down for United's squad from Graham Taylor of all people, the truth behind that infamous non-handshake between Schmeichel and Gary Neville before the Manchester derby and Nicky reveals just how close he came to joining Real Madrid’s Galacticos team. Plus: was the 1994 side actually Fergie’s best? Why Scholes and Butt dreaded warming up Schmeichel, how Paul Ince tore into Scholesy after a missed chance, and why Peter hated being chipped in training. And, the lads tackle the biggest question of all: do dogs need a passport? If you want to ask the guys anything about football email them at: questions@goodbadfootball.co.uk.
