Well, what a week it’s been.

Aston Villa were made the world’s most famous football club by the nation’s senior politicians. UEFA’s failure to take a stand on the participation of Israeli clubs in European competitions this season but Villa and Birmingham have been slandered to a ridiculous degree.

Our football club and our city are not antisemitic. Keir Starmer has a lot to answer for and he’s not the only one.

This week, we have to address the Maccabi Tel Aviv situation, unfortunately, so we do. There are some swears in this episode – sorry about that, but maybe don’t listen to it on the school run.

Chris Nee and Steven Green discuss all that garbage as well as Sunday’s Premier League win against Tottenham Hotspur, the upcoming fixtures against Go Ahead Eagles and Manchester City, and where the HELL we’ve been.
