03 / THE SHOWSTILL IN LOVE WITH THE GAME
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.
All have played. All love the game. All come with their own club baggage.

Same game. Very different views.
05 / THE RUNNING ORDERTHERE’S A LOT TO GET THROUGH
ON THE agenda.
The week’s football, the stories behind it and a few things that probably need saying.
OPEN A FEATURE TO TAKE A LOOK ↘
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.

THE VAR QUESTION
Would you scrap VAR tomorrow — even if it meant more wrong decisions?
No panel. No replay. Just your mates’ verdict.
