THE GAME
WE LOVE.
The bits that
drive us mad.

For people who still love football, but increasingly wonder what the hell has happened to it.

The moment the ball hits the net. The away days. The characters. The stories you’re still telling twenty years later.

Julian, Duncan, Dale and David get stuck into the week’s football, take the mick out of each other and ask how much of the modern game has gone too far.

VAR is in the firing line. So are the excuses, the prices and the nonsense. But there’s always room for the reasons we fell in love with football in the first place.

Here’s what’s on the agenda

“Let us celebrate
the bloody goal.”

THE FEELING BEHIND THE NAME

FOUR SEATS.
No neutral corner.

All have played. All love the game.
All come with their own club baggage.

A lifetime of football, business and stories between them. Julian also brings decades of experience in football leadership and club ownership. Around this table, everyone gets their say.

Same game.
Very different views.

ON THE
agenda.

The week’s football, the stories behind it and a few things that probably need saying.

01

That Aged Well

HINDSIGHT IS UNDEFEATED

The confident prediction. The over-the-top reaction. The opinion that survived about twenty minutes. We revisit football’s finest premature declarations — including our own.

02

The Statement Translator

READING BETWEEN THE LINES

“We thank him for his contribution.” “A long-term project.” “Full confidence.” We take football’s carefully worded statements and have a go at saying what they actually mean.

03

Football’s Lost the Plot

SOMEBODY HAS TO SAY IT

The joyless decisions, eye-watering prices and moments of modern-football madness that leave supporters asking the same question: how did we get here?

04

The Good in the Game

THE REASON WE KEEP COMING BACK

The people, clubs and moments that remind us what football can be. A proper story, a bit of community and the kind of joy you can’t put on a spreadsheet.

THE GAME GOES BEYOND THE STUDIO

BECAUSE
IT STILL
means everything.

Underneath every argument,
the same love of football.

GO ON.
Start something.

THE VAR QUESTION

Would you scrap VAR tomorrow — even if it meant more wrong decisions?

No panel. No replay.
Just your mates’ verdict.

WEAR YOUR
opinion.

For the stands. For the pub. For the love of the game. A first look at what we’re making.

SOME CONVERSATIONS NEED A BIGGER TABLE

BRING
your mates.

The football’s better with company. Put the show in the group chat and let them pick a side.

Four clubs.
Plenty of bias.
Everyone welcome.
