  • Talking the Blues Podcast – Spurs (a) a desperate end to the 2025/26 season

    Welcome to the final Talking the Blues Podcast of the 2025/26 season when we ask some pretty fundamental questions of the club, the direction in which we are going, and just how competitive are we in every aspect of running a modern day football club.

    David Moyes does not get a free ride but also much bigger questions are asked about the owners and what the current purpose of the club is?

  • Talking the Blues Podcast, Sunderland (h). The harsh reality is we are not competitive from top to bottom

    Welcome back to Talking the Blues with Andy and George Costigan. Last home game of the season, a season that offered so many opportunities but one in which we as a club ultimately failed to take advantage of.

    The disappointment is palpable, indeed more than that – unbearable; each season of meeting and failing expectations gets more difficult to bear. We try and be rational and describe why we believe that from the owner to everyone involved in the club, what we offer is not competitive enough despite the intent, desire and goodwill of all involved.

    We hope for realism, for change…..
