THE DUGOUT | JIM CAMPBELL | KAI’S RETURN MIGHT NOT FIX EVERYTHING

FIRST INTERVIEW OF 2026

The Dugout is back for 2026! Jim Campbell from the Football Ramble returns to shake off the New Year’s haze (and the Villa celebration hangovers) for a jam-packed episode.

We’re looking past the “brain farts” on the South Coast and focusing on the flex. From transfer window headaches to the comedy show at Old Trafford, we’re covering it all.

On the menu this week:

  • The Havertz Reboot: He’s back, but will the team click or clunk with him back in the side?

  • Nwaneri’s Dilemma: Do we stick, twist, or cash in on the teenage sensation while his stock is high?

  • The Bournemouth Flex: Why a defensive howler didn’t stop us from looking like Champions.

  • The United Heist: Ruben Amorim’s “lottery win” photo and the search for a manager brave (or crazy) enough to take the reins.

  • City’s Wobble: Are the juggernauts finally looking human without their Belgian King?

  • Liverpool Looming: Why we’re ready to welcome the Reds (and why the fear factor might be gone).
