Watch That's Offside - The Merseyside Derby!
The Premier League serves up one of its fiercest fixtures this weekend – the Merseyside derby.
Liverpool against Everton. Red against Blue. Bragging rights for an entire city are on the line.
Form, tables and stats all go out the window when these bitter enemies collide. For Liverpool, it’s about stamping their authority and showing why they top the table.
For Everton, it’s about pride, passion and proving they can upset their near neighbours.
This week on That’s Offside – the fan-led football debate show – we dive headfirst into the chaos of derby day.
Two passionate supporters go face-to-face, each desperate to land the first blows ahead of Saturday’s showdown.
Host Dan Muino is once again in the hot seat, tasked with keeping things under control as our guests battle it out with words before their teams go to war on the pitch.
Representing Liverpool is @laurencemckenna, ready to fire up the Kop. Flying the flag for Everton is Peter McPartland of @ToffeeTVEFC, bringing all the bite and defiance you’d expect from the blue half of Merseyside.
This isn’t just a match. It’s a battle for the city. And neither side will back down.
That’s Offside Hot Takes: Two Fans Clash Ahead Of Derby Day
Each week on That’s Offside, our guests go head-to-head in the fast-paced Hot Takes challenge.
The format is simple, but the arguments are anything but. A spin of the wheel decides the topic - from player battles to club pride, season predictions to transfer hits and misses - and then the guests have just 90 seconds to make their case.
The host keeps the debate moving, but the final verdict on who made the stronger argument is down to you, the viewers.
We want your opinions - share them in the comments, join the chat during the show, and ensure your voice is heard on That’s Offside.
You’re the debate’s VAR, and your decision is what really counts.
In our latest episode, the fans tackle five pregame statements:
- Players: Jack Grealish is a better signing than Florian Wirtz
- Club: Goodison Park had a better atmosphere than Anfield
- Debate: Liverpool would beat Everton with 10 men
- Managers: Everton would finish in the top six with Arne Slot as their manager
- Players: Wayne Rooney is the greatest scouse player of all time
Brace yourself for big clashes, fiery comebacks and home truths that hurt like a derby-day tackle.
Football Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge
We’re not just all about debates on That's Offside, and the rivalry doesn’t end when the talking does.
Just like on the pitch, we’re taking it into extra time with a head-to-head challenge that tests more than just opinion.
After the Hot Takes, our guests will play a football-themed game that demands quick thinking, composure and a bit of tactical nous.
This week, it’s our twist on Tic-Tac-Toe. The goal is simple: get three in a row.
To win a square, you need to answer a football question correctly. Get it right and you’re through on goal. Slip up, and you gift possession back to your rival.
Any wrong move is like a defensive howler, and the other side won’t hesitate to punish it.
Just like the derby itself, there’s no sitting back and no parking the bus. It’s end-to-end until someone claims the bragging rights.
