Off the Ball, GAA. The game is in a state of evolution at the minute, a state of flux. It's constantly evolving. There may be little tweaks needed, but I don't really fully get why they changed what we had last year.

And then you have two pretty big fixtures of the way we look at it. Is it a top eight now? Are we allowed to say top eight?
Big eight? Yeah, I think it's a top eight now. Especially after five teams qualifying a top eight in the Champions League during the week. Straight to the last 16. That's it.
And watching Premier League teams struggle with other English teams in a way that they don't with European teams which is still something that I think is we're struggling to get our head around but it is especially the it was the Burnley Spurs game last week that was such an eye-opener after they just took care of business against Dortmund and I was like I'm not really surprised that they almost lost to Burnley even
yeah it's funny because even the crap games on paper this week are actually half like even Wolves Bournemouth you'd probably look at and say that's the last one I'm going to look at but Wolves are in decent bit of form Bournemouth are good to watch or like Chelsea West Ham say which would be a nothing three o'clock Chelsea take care of business and suddenly West Ham are in some kind of form and are winning games yeah Yeah, Villa, Brentford, two teams that like to play football the right way.
And Brentford have beaten Villa twice already this season. Although once it was on penalties, it's a draw really. Doesn't count, does it Mick? Doesn't count.
What makes this Premier League weekend particularly exciting?
Lee Phelps from William Hill is with us. Lee, how are you? Yeah, really good, thank you. Yeah, it's interesting the way you introduced that because I remember when I did the prep for this weekend, I was looking thinking this is a nightmare weekend to pick tips in because it's so open. But yeah, yours is a positive way of looking at it.
Liverpool-Newcastle, I like that there's not that many 8 o'clock Saturday night kick-offs, but it feels like Liverpool-Newcastle always has to be a night game. All they want to do is just recreate the 4-3. They'll give us every chance they possibly can for the rest of time, every time Liverpool-Newcastle play. But it is funny how it does actually seep into our subconscious. There's no world in which we won't look forward to a Liverpool-Newcastle game.
The first one that we had this season was fantastic, wasn't it? Anthony Gordon, of course, going off.
How are Arsenal and Leeds positioned ahead of their upcoming match?
Yeah, brilliant, brilliant game. There's something about them that wherever they are in the league tables, whatever's happening in those clubs, yeah, something amazing happens. It's like, I mean, Liverpool were obviously coast. You look at the midweeks, like chalk and cheese, weren't they? Obviously, Newcastle had it all on going away to obviously one of the best teams in Europe. Got a good result in the end. And Liverpool, you know, I mean, it looked like the Carabao players came for the shopping at Liverpool 1 rather than anything else, didn't it? Liverpool really eased to a big win there. But the manager was saying last weekend, wasn't he, that they were like running on empty pretty much after losing to Bournemouth.
So, you know, what's going to happen? I don't know which Liverpool... to trust it I don't know what's going to happen they're 4-5 they're a touch of odds on Newcastle have got an awful record at Anfield in the league 1994 the last time they won there they were away from this season doesn't suggest anything yeah doesn't suggest anything that they were away from this season either so they're just under 3-1 which
