Could It Be Magic?

Sean Dyche: Smashing a Semi-Final Penalty, Loving Set Pieces and Life as a Meme | Could It Be Magic


Listen Later

Could It Be Magic, the FA Cup podcast sponsored by Carling, returns as Joe Cole and Ashley Cole welcome Sean Dyche into the studio just days before he was appointed Nottingham Forest manager.

They revisit Chesterfield’s famous FA Cup semi-final run in 1997: the brilliant team talk by John Duncan before the game, the surprise pre-match call from Roy Keane, and the penalty he buried straight down the middle despite never having taken one before.

They also discuss the return of long throws and set pieces to elite football and how Brian Clough's tactics at Nottingham Forest wouldn't look out of place in the modern game. Sean shares plenty of tales from his colorful playing and managerial career, including the time Arsène Wenger was served some dodgy red wine at Burnley and how Sean once turned up to a London nightclub in a tuk-tuk, only to meet Chris Eubank in his giant truck.

Dyche lets us in to his world away from football and reveals what it's like to find yourself becoming a social media meme and being asked to FaceTime people's nans. He chats about his stint shadowing the Oxford boat crew while doing his pro licence, including the moment he met the Winklevoss twins without realising who they were until he watched The Social Network.

Rachel O'Sullivan from Girls on the Ball gives her thoughts on some of the big stories from the women's game, including whether Chelsea can repeat their treble success, why Arsenal are struggling to find their rhythm and she names the dark horse she thinks could have a great run in the Adobe Women's FA Cup.

Could It Be Magic is brought to you by Carling, the official beer of the Emirates FA Cup and Adobe Women's FA Cup.
