Weekend Roundup, United Fans Protest & Spurs + West Ham combined 11

In the third episode of the Festival of Football Podcast we talk about, 

Weekend Roundup
Manchester Untied Fans Protest
Spurs & West Ham combined 11

In the first part of the pod we discuss Spurs thrashing of already relegated, Sheffield United. Gareth Bale scored a hattrick in the game with Son scoring a worldie. Billy was completely wrong with his prediction of a close game and Sheffield United going in front first. Henry was very close with prediction on the earlier pod, he predicted a 3-0 easy win for Spurs. Could this be the catalyst for Spurs to get into the top four? It could well be. We then went on to talk about the huge result for West Ham beating Burnley 2-1. They did have to come from behind to get the job done. Billy as nearly right saying that Chris Wood would score but he felt Burnley would win. Henry went on to talk about Diop and the mistakes he has been making the last few games and felt he was not good enough for West Ham. Can West Ham now make the top four? Henry seems to think it is more than possible they will, especially if Chelsea begin to drop points. 

On the next part of the pod we turned our attention to the Manchester United fans protesting against the Glazers owning the club. Billy felt strongly that they should not be protesting as they could spread COVID across all those fans who turned up, reports had it that 10k people were there at various stages of the afternoon. Billy also felt that their protest would achieve nothing as you cant force owners to sell a privately owned business. Henry felt the opposite, he felt that the United fans should be allowed to protest and vent their anger against owners who have done nothing for the club. Where they both agreed was that their was no need for violence. Should United be punished for getting the game called off? Billy felt a 20 point deduction was fair to stop this happening in the future. 

Lastly we discussed a combined Spurs and West Ham 11. It was an interesting debate with the spilt of players being much more even than you would expect. Listen in to find out who we chose.
