Unseen Incidents with Patrick and Pete

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents. This week we’re tier-ranking the transfer windows of the Premier League’s big six, asking who has done the best work ahead of the new season. How costly is Arsenal’s lack of star power? Does City’s rebuild actually make them better? How could Chelsea’s front three pose a problem for Alonso? And can Spurs and United push on at all? Then we open up the burn book, this week discussing sparkling sake, refurbished tech, and locksmiths. If you enjoy the podcast please consider subscribing at patreon.com/Patrickvs .

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents. This week we’re previewing the Premier League title race, running through the teams expected to challenge for the trophy and predicting who will come out on top. Have Arsenal done enough this summer to be favourites again? How will Man City cope after Pep? Can Chelsea surprise everyone? What does Iraola need to change tactically to succeed at Liverpool? And why is everyone suddenly predicting a United title? Then we open up the Burn Book, which this week features Northern Irish police, VPNs, and garçon dinner.

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents. This week we’re looking at Real Madrid’s big summer rebuild and their reappointment of Jose Mourinho. After two years without a trophy, it’s clear that something needed to change, but is this going to fix anything? Is Rodri the solution? Is Diomande a worthy heir to Vini? And is there any way this team can defend at an elite level? Then we open up the Burn Book, which this week features linen shirts, Classics and the response to The Odyssey, and cleaning leather.

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents. The summer transfer market has gone crazy, with seemingly every player quoted at £100m or more, so today we’re running through some of the blockbuster moves we might see and asking whether those players are worth the price. Why is everyone thirsting for Julian Alvarez? Is Elliot Anderson as good a prospect as Declan Rice? We look at a raft of wingers, including Rogers, Barcola, El Mala, and Summerville, as well as Newcastle target and Switzerland star Johan Manzambi. Then we open up the Burn Book, this week discussing hotel nights, new experiences with old friends, and changing barber.

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents. This week we’re looking back at our worst transfer XIs from the autumn, to see what we got wrong and what we got right. How do we judge someone like Gyokeres? Are United fans deluded about Cunha? And is Mateus Fernandes not only good, but worth the £85m West Ham want for him? Then we open up the Burn Book, this week discussing Instagram art, housework, and pineapple on pizza. If you enjoy the podcast please consider subscribing at patreon.com/Patrickvs !

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents. This week we’re discussing the controversy surrounding West Ham’s disallowed equaliser against Arsenal, and the dominance of set-pieces in this year’s PL. What has led to the current situation on corners? Are dead-balls really to blame for the boring tactical landscape? And we get into possible ways to fix the problem, from refinements to VAR to wholesale rule changes. Then we open up the Burn Book, this week discussing sneakers, shower accessories, and “You couldn’t write it”. If you enjoy the podcast please consider subscribing at patreon.com/patrickvs !

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents. This week we’re settling every remaining question for the run-in, giving our verdict on the title race, the competition for European spots, and the relegation battle. Do Arsenal still have a shot? Can Chelsea halt the free fall? And how might the last few fixtures favour West Ham?

Hey everyone and welcome back to Unseen Incidents! The games are coming fast now, and unfortunately we have to return to Spurs again, to talk about their risky appointment of Roberto de Zerbi. The Italian is undoubtedly talented and has a track record of attractive and effective attacking football, but does he make sense for Tottenham right now? What are the real requirements for a manager aiming to keep a team in the Prem? And what would it take for RDZ to fulfil them? Then we get into the Burn Book, with short hair, wasting your own time, and reconnecting with old friends.

What’s up everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents! On this week’s show, we’re getting into the problem which is the Premier League team of the season. With so few attackers shining, and presumptive title winners Arsenal powered by collective effort, not special individuals, who are the division's outstanding players? We pick our favourites from keeper to striker, discussing Haaland's drop-off, Rice vs Fernandes, breakout fullbacks, and much more. Then we have the Burn Book, which this time features football boots, the Kindle, and "buy once, buy well". If you don’t already subscribe, consider joining our Patreon at Patreon.com/patrickvs !

What's up everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents. We’re returning to Tottenham this week, who now look in serious danger of the drop after a succession of bad results and red cards. What would relegation do to the club? How would they retool for life in the championship? Who would be sold, who would stay? And how could they reestablish themselves as a Premier League side? Then we open up the Burn Book, this week discussing the Six Nations, being told off by your child's teacher, and LinkedIn influencers. Thanks for listening!

Hello and welcome back to Unseen Incidents! This week we're taking on the big question: are Arsenal about to bottle it? The Gunners have been here before, but we dig into their previous title challenges, their current form, and our questions around Arteta's tactics to ask how concerned fans should be, and how the club can solidify its grip on the 25/26 trophy. Then we get into the Burn Book, with I Capture The Castle, the Baftas Tourette/racism controversy, and feeding your baby.

Hey everyone, and thanks for joining us for another episode of Unseen Incidents. This week, we're answering a question on the worst transfers of the last five years. It feels like the big swings at the top of the market have got safer, and there are fewer busts than there used to be, but what makes for a disaster signing? Why do Chelsea and Manchester United make so many? And how are some big flops, like Sancho, Lukaku, and Mudryk, still affecting their teams now? Then we open up the Burn Book, discussing American politics, meal prep, and curtain-twitching. Have we discussed this before? No-one knows.

Hey everyone, and thanks for joining us for another episode of Unseen Incidents. This week, we're taking a look at the best Premier League players in every position this season.

Hey everyone, and thanks for joining us for another episode of Unseen Incidents. This week, we're reviewing all last summer's big striker signings and ranking them from SLAM DUNK to OH GOD. How does Isak's injury-hit first season - and the form of Hugo Ekitike - affect the long-term value of the deal? What are the worries in Nick Woltemade's adaptation? How bad have Sesko and Gyokeres been? And what do we make of the £100m of forwards Chelsea added? Then we open up the Burn Book, discussing nursery, the enshittification of all technology, and Doing Things.

Hey everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents! We’re getting into the Salah drama this week, as the Egyptian put his Anfield career in the sarcophagus with an explosive interview. What led to his outburst? Does he have a point? Is there any way back? And how can Liverpool benefit from the situation? Then we open up the Burn Book, this week chatting Winter Wonderland, the NHS, and performative behaviour.

Hey everyone, and welcome to another episode of Unseen Incidents! Today we’re using a listener question about Ollie Watkins’ drop-off this season to look at three players struggling for form, and another, Antoine Semenyo, whose underlying stats are not matching up to his real goal and assist numbers. Which one is a better representation of the player, and what do we make of his rumoured £65m buyout? And how much can team effects be blamed for the issues facing Watkins, Isak, and others, and how much is down to them? Then we open the Burn Book, this week featuring standing ovations, bow-ties, and Barbour jackets. Thanks for listening, and please consider subscribing at patreon.com/patrickvs for bonus content!

What’s up everyone and welcome back to Unseen Incidents. This week we’re asking whether Manchester United have turned the corner and are finally good - or at least ok - again. We dig deep into their style and personnel under Amorim, and discuss how much the coach has changed, and what worries us about the adaptations that are currently working for the Red Devils, as well as the next steps required for the project. Then we open up the Burn Book, which this week includes mice, Lily Allen, and chewing gum. If you enjoy the pod, consider subscribing at Patreon.com/patrickvs !

What’s up everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents! On this week’s show, we’re swapping players between Premier League clubs in an attempt to improve both parties. We can all see how Gvardiol could help Liverpool, but why does Pete think Wirtz would solve City’s problems? And which Liverpool midfielder would make sense for Spurs, and why is Destiny Udogie more promising than Milos Kerkez? Then we have the Burn Book, which this time features kiwis, pet trackers, and your hobbies. If you don’t already subscribe, consider joining our Patreon at Patreon.com/patrickvs !

Hey everyone and welcome back to another episode of Unseen Incidents. This week we’re answering a listener question on the new players making the biggest impact so far this season, and who we think will prove the most important additions by May. We dig into Jack Grealish and a new superstar goalkeeper, examine Xabi Alonso’s work with Real Madrid and the next stage of the project, and get into Martin Zubimendi’s part in making an already amazing Arsenal defence stupendous, as well as his role in the team’s new attacking set-up. Then we make another entry in the Burn Book, this week talking One Battle After Another, the Royal Mail, and Pete’s trip to Sevilla. Thanks for listening, and please consider signing up for our Patreon, where this week we ask whether Mohamed Salah has finally lost his juice. Find us at patreon.com/patrickvs
