🎧 Review The Front 3 on Apple Podcasts: http://getpodcast.reviews/id/734032291 Mesut Ozil has been left out of Arsenal's Premier League squad for the season. The club are adamant the decision has nothing to do with the German midfielder condemning China's treatment of Uighur Muslims, or his refusal to take a pay cut during the Covid-19 pandemic. But that seems very hard to believe. What has happened to Ozil? And is there any way back for him at Arsenal?

🎧 Review The Front 3 on Apple Podcasts: http://getpodcast.reviews/id/734032291 Project: Big Picture is here to save football. Or at least its supporters would have you believe. The proposals, spearheaded by Liverpool and Man Utd's owners, would give much needed financial aid to EFL clubs - but would also strengthen the power of the 'big six' and threaten to dilute the competitiveness of the Premier League. Adam, Laurence and Kris discuss why it's a bad idea, and what the project could mean for English football - even if it fails to go through now.

🎧 Review The Front 3 on Apple Podcasts: http://getpodcast.reviews/id/734032291 It was a weekend of memorable performances; none more so that Patrice Evra on Sky Sports. So memorable was Evra's performance, that his emotional reaction almost overshadowed the actual football, with little to no analysis of Tottenham's 6-1 hammering of Manchester United, with the focus instead on the former Red Devil's outburst. Is Evra simply a one of a kind fan/pundit hybrid? Or is this a sign of broadcast Premier League coverage in the UK learning from the success of fan media - where big personalities, rants and extreme reactions guarantee the most valuable commodity of all - your attention.
