Phil and Anto are joined once again by former Wimbledon, Newcastle and England international defender Warren Barton to discuss many of the biggest issues involving the Premier League over a wild weekend of poor officiating and late goals. Warren is also the lead analyst for Fox Soccer Match Day, Goals on Sunday, and UEFA Champions League coverage in the United States and the talking points are brisk as we open the discussion with the big Fulham win over a Liverpool team that continues to struggle against the smaller, more disciplined sides. We also revisit the issues for Andy Carroll who continues to not provide scoring threat but also seems to impact the partnership that Luis Suarez needs to find space and be his most productive self. We also take a look at the emergence of Manchester City not just as an economic power, but how this financial muscle has a great impact in English football overall as so much money trickles down the pyramid both on and beyond the pitch. We also get another example of how far David Luiz must go to become a proper defender as he was not sent off during a key contest this weekend at Newcastle and how this did impact the outcome of the match well before anything was decided. Other topics are the manager hotseat, a huge comeback win for Mick McCarthy and Wolves, the ongoing demonstration by Tottenham of their quality and whether Chelsea and Arsenal are separating themselves for the fight for that last Champions League slot in England. Lots of talking points with a great bit of insight from Warren.
