Ball Chat Sports Podcast

This week on the podcast Flynn shares his life-changing cycle tour of Spain and Morocco, we deliberate on what could be done differently in the UEFA World Cup qualifiers and round-up who has made the World Cup proper in Qatar 2022. We also discuss some of the latest managerial movements in the Premier League and look ahead to this weekend's blockbuster welterweight showdown between Terence Crawford and Shawn Porter.

We welcome ex-Manchester United academy star Nicholas Jackson on the show to talk about his life before being brutally cut by his home-town club at the age of 16, and offer alternatives to the ruthless youth system currently embedded within the English footballing pyramid. We dissect the recent merry-go-round in the world of football management as Steven Gerrard replaces Dean Smith as the head coach at Aston Villa and Frank Lampard is slated to join lacklustre Norwich City. Finally, we review the weekend's dynamite UFC 268 card and ponder what's next for the imperious Canelo Alvarez.

On this week's episode, Bissett is joined by Flynn and Jim to discuss this week's events in the World of Football and Combat Sports. Gareth Southgate announces his England squad to mixed opinions from the lads, Cristiano Ronaldo recieves more high praise for being Ole's get out of jail free card and the UFC cards both last weekend and this weekend get a close inspection.

On this week's episode Jim and Bissett offer some interesting alternatives to the dreaded international football breaks, recap on their favourite NFL teams win's from the weekend and of course, marvel at what was one of the best heavyweight bouts of all time.

On this week's episode Jim and Bissett discuss Newcastle United's takeover from a Saudi consortium that will surely shake up the landscape of the Premier League for years to come. They also discuss last weekend's results from the EPL, including an in-depth look at Leicester City's current defensive problems, and look ahead to the mammoth third installment between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury in the usual Combat Sports section.

JIm and Bissett welcome Tino onto the pod to review a momentous weekend in boxing and MMA. Bissett gives us his breakdown of the lopsided Ryder Cup win for Team USA. And of course, the boys bring a full breakdown of last week’s football, though somehow they forgot to mention a certain Mr Ronaldo and his late winner for Man United. Sorry King.

This week Jim and Bissett preview the Ryder Cup, debate whether Anthony Joshua can keep hold of his title belts against Oleksandr Usyk, and actually solve most of society's ills while sitting in front of their computers at home (And a lot of football talk, of course).

Jim and Bissett analyse a changing of the guard in top level tennis, review MD1 in this season’s Champions League, and pour scorn on the disgraceful conduct of the WBC regarding Oscar Valdez’s PED controversy and title defence last weekend.
