Oct 21, 2023•1 hr 19 min•Ep 26•Transcript available on Metacast On this week’s episode of Unseen Incidents, we’re diving headfirst into the debate around Liverpool. Yes, they lost to Spurs, but plenty of people think a title challenge is a reasonable possibility for the Reds, and that they are back above Arsenal and Newcastle, but what suggests that’s right, and what are the red flags? We dig into the red cards, van Dijk, Salah, and the new midfielders to see what kind of side is Klopp is building. Then it’s time for the Burn Book, which this week features b...
Oct 07, 2023•1 hr 14 min•Ep 25•Transcript available on Metacast Hello and welcome to Unseen Incidents, where this week we’re hitting the big red button and examining Manchester United’s crisis.

Sep 23, 2023•2 hr 45 min•Ep 24•Transcript available on Metacast Hello and welcome back to the Unseen Incidents podcast, where this week we’ve accidentally produced a marathon episode, going through the Premier League’s top 8 sides and rating their transfer windows. We discuss why we hate Nunes and love Doku, Amrabat to United, Liverpool’s great midfield rebuild, and the mystery that is Brennan Johnson. Then we open the Burn Book, which features pints, cycling, and the death of Twitter. Thanks for listening, and do rate and review us, plus sign up at Patreon....
Sep 09, 2023•2 hr 8 min•Ep 23•Transcript available on Metacast Hello and welcome back to Unseen Incidents, where this week we're diving into Chelsea (before their blowout win over Luton).

We go into all this, plus our larger questions about Todd Boehly's attempt to disrupt the football landscape. Then it's on to the Burn Book, which this time out features Disney adults, double beds, and water. Groundbreaking stuff. Thanks for your support, and feel...
Aug 26, 2023•1 hr 29 min•Ep 22•Transcript available on Metacast Welcome back to Unseen Incidents! We’re back from hiatus and ready to dive into football again (reluctantly). And on the first episode of our second season, we’re looking ahead to the campaign to come in true hater fashion, taking a look at Spurs (surprisingly positive), Hojlund (surprisingly negative), Liverpool’s new-look midfield, and a bunch of other stuff which comes into our heads. Then we have the Burn Book, with air fryers, suits, the colour brown, and shopping trolley etiquette. Enjoy, ...
Aug 12, 2023•2 hr 41 min•Ep 21•Transcript available on Metacast Hello and welcome back to the Unseen Incidents podcast. This week we’re talking Champions League, with the final largely considered a foregone conclusion. But do Manchester City have weaknesses? Is there anything about Inter which gives them a shot?

May 06, 2023•2 hr 48 min•Ep 17•Transcript available on Metacast Hello and welcome to the Unseen Incidents podcast, where this week we're asking whether Arsenal are actually bottling the Premier League. Two draws against West Ham and Liverpool put Arteta's team in a difficult spot, but what did they get wrong in those games? How are they coping without Zinchenko and Saliba? How do you even beat Man City? Then we've got the Burn Book, with rudeness to service staff, Just Stop Oil, and being fit boys. Thanks for listening and for your 5-star reviews, and if you...
Apr 22, 2023•1 hr 16 min•Ep 16•Transcript available on Metacast Hello and welcome back to Unseen Incidents, where this week we’re returning to Graham Potter, who we covered in our very first episode, to see what went so wrong for him at Chelsea. Which players let him down? Was he unlucky? And how was Chelsea’s recruitment to blame? Then we ask the same questions about Brendan Rodgers, now ditched by Leicester with relegation looming. What happened to the smart, title-winning Leicester he inherited? Then we’ve got the Burn Book, with our takes on old people, ...
Apr 08, 2023•1 hr 24 min•Ep 15•Transcript available on Metacast Hey everyone, and welcome to this week’s Unseen Incidents, which is finally plummeting into the bottom third of the Premier League to work out who’s getting relegated. With 12 games to go, almost half the division is embroiled in the battle, and we discuss the weirdness of West Ham and Leeds, the worrying signs at Leicester, and the ramshackle squads of Forest and Everton as the run-in approaches its climax. Then we have the Burn Book, with lazy holidays, Instagram, and Top Gun: Maverick. We hop...
Mar 11, 2023•2 hr 55 min•Ep 14•Transcript available on Metacast Hey everyone, and welcome to this week’s Unseen Incidents, which is all about Manchester United. Two months of strong form has some fans pushing ten Hag’s side as title challengers, so we run the rule over their credentials, before taking a deeper dive into the improvements under the new coach, the difference Casemiro and Weghorst have made, and the resurgence of Rashford. Then it’s the Burn Book, which this week includes skincare recommendations, mum-shame, and falling asleep during Harry Potte...
Feb 25, 2023•1 hr 29 min•Ep 13•Transcript available on Metacast Hello and welcome back to the Unseen Incidents podcast, where this week we’re digging into the massive scandal around Manchester City’s finances.

Feb 11, 2023•1 hr 18 min•Ep 12•Transcript available on Metacast What’s up everyone and welcome back to Unseen Incidents, where this week we’re looking at Everton, who by the time you listen will almost certainly have appointed Sean Dyche. We look at what the coach would bring, why Lampard failed, and what the future looks like for Everton versus teams like Palace and West Ham, before opening up the Burn Book, which features entries on Deadpooliness, Elden Ring, and Andor. If you’d like to watch the interview with Patrick mentioned in the show, head to Full T...
Jan 28, 2023•1 hr 24 min•Ep 11•Transcript available on Metacast Welcome to episode 10 of Unseen Incidents, where we bring you a tour of the January transfer window. We've got Manchester United's striker hunt and longer-term plans, plus the wisdom of Arsenal's Mudryk move and why it may be time to stop "trusting the process". Then there's the Burn Book, this week featuring the space-edge advances in Guinness technology, animal people, and what makes Patrick cry.

Dec 31, 2022•1 hr 27 min•Ep 9•Transcript available on Metacast Hello and welcome back to the Unseen Incidents podcast, this week recorded between the World Cup semis and final for maximum irrelevance.

Dec 17, 2022•2 hr 35 min•Ep 8•Transcript available on Metacast On this week’s podcast we’re rounding up the World Cup so far. Which of our predictions were terrible (mine) and which were great (Pete’s)? What surprised us most?

We finish up with the Burn Book, which features food snobbery, Christmas, cats in bed, and money-saving tips from scumbags.

Dec 03, 2022•2 hr 43 min•Ep 7•Transcript available on Metacast On this week’s episode of Unseen Incidents, we’re doing a half-season Premier League review. First we’ve got the title race. Is there one? Who is the favourite? How do the January window and the World Cup change the picture? Are Arsenal getting lucky? Then we grade the PL’s big 6 teams so far, before a leaf through the Burn Book, which this week features Venice, self-hype, camping, and time-travel.

Nov 19, 2022•2 hr 3 min•Ep 6•Transcript available on Metacast Episode 5 of Unseen Incidents, and we are bringing you a preview of the World Cup No-One Cares About. Yes, we're closing in on the beginning of the quadrennial high point in the football calendar, and everyone's just listening to Taylor Swift like it doesn't even matter. So today we're trying to get you #hype with a discussion of England (from two non-England fans), our takes on the surprise packages of the tournament, and our picks for victors, before moving on to the Burn Book, which this week...
Nov 05, 2022•2 hr 30 min•Ep 5•Transcript available on Metacast It’s episode 4 of Unseen Incidents, and this week in Schadenfreude we take on Barcelona’s calamitous soon-to-be-exit from the Champions League, the state of the team under Xavi, and whether the club can survive its current crisis. Then we look at Mbappé who is turning heel aged 22 and beefing with Neymar and PSG, which Pete has a conspiracy theory about. We finish as usual with Burn Book, and what we hated this week, which includes fast fashion, Americans on Instagram, and everyone in London. En...
Oct 22, 2022•1 hr 26 min•Ep 4•Transcript available on Metacast Hello and welcome to episode 3 of the Unseen Incidents podcast, where this week we’re chopping up and looking over the two derbies. First up is Manchester, and Erling Haaland’s demolition of both United and the Premier League. Did ten Hag get it wrong? Would it have changed anything if he got it right? Just how insane will Haaland’s season end up being? Then it’s Arsenal, whose 3-1 win over Spurs played out exactly as their early season form would have predicted. Did we learn anything from this ...
Oct 08, 2022•1 hr 19 min•Ep 3•Transcript available on Metacast Episode 2 of the podcast is here, and I am suffering with a cold and solo childcare, but we power on with a discussion of Liverpool's difficult start to the season. Is something actually wrong at Anfield? What's up with Trent? Is Klopp's Seven-Year Syndrome happening again? Then it's on to Antoine Griezmann's unusual Atletico Madrid situation, as the Colchoneros try to squeeze Barcelona. Is it a bit funny, or very funny? After that, it's Burn Book time, and this week we get into the Queue, drago...
Sep 24, 2022•1 hr 6 min•Ep 2•Transcript available on Metacast Welcome to the inaugural episode of the Unseen Incidents podcast, where Patrick and Pete discuss the week in football, take your questions, and rant aimlessly about whatever's annoying us currently.

Then it's on to #drama from the Venice Film Festival, what makes us cry, and what we hated/surprisingly didn't hate over the last few days. If y...
