John, Alan and Paul discuss what the future may hold for football. We discuss how competition structures could change, how the laws could evolve, new ways of broadcasting football and the role technology could play in the game. Join us for talk of global leagues, MLS teams in the Champions League, 60 minute games, fair catches, big clubs in empty stadia, cheap tickets, video refs and much more.

We look at how to turn round your flagging season in as many ways as we can think of from formation to chips, bench make up and planning for the fixture congestion in November and December. We give you the 7 dates from now to New Year when there isn’t a Premier League team in action and discuss how best to deal with that in your FPL Squad. There is also a very English 'argument' about transferring Aguero out. Plus a Gameweek 12 review.

We discuss the growing list of football administrators on trial in New York and the bribes, threats and tragedies it is bringing to light and life. The 'Alternative World Cup' could be real if the United States Soccer Federation and Stuart Holden get their way and we are not happy about it. We also review the weekend’s Premier League action.

On this weeks podcast John runs through what all the Premier League Players called up to international duty got up to and where with tips as to who might be a good and bad pick in the context of how their international duty panned out.

John and Ash review Gameweek 11, caution international week patience, faith in Chelsea and talk about the emotional effects on our lives of FPL and how to survive the ups and downs.

New boy Jake joins John and Ash trying to pinpoint what went wrong and when for Bilic at West Ham and plumb the depths of or ignorance of the women’s game.

John and Ash review Gameweek 10 and look at how useful midweek cup line ups are when trying to predict weekend Premier League starting line ups. We breakdown Man City 11’s so far this season from cup to league games and work out there are only two places in the team up for grabs. Plus a Gameweek 11 preview.

With Newcastle up for sale, an awkward Arsenal AGM and Columbus Crew possibly off to Texas we ask if there is a best model for football club ownership? We also look back on the Premier League weekend that was, the great Carabao Cup conspiracy and the Under Seventeen World Cup.

John and Ash review Gameweek 9, solve the Ben Davies problem and identify the four teams with great fixtures all the way to Christmas. We also discuss if there are points on offer in the goalkeeping position we could be missing and offer an analysis of who could make the difference for you in net. There is even a Gameweek 10 preview.

We look back on a week of building pressure on managers across England and suggest the next sacking could be from an unlikely club. We despair at the FA’s apparently endless capacity for incompetence and in a not unrelated move look at the jobs footballers have gone on to do once it was clear there was no place for them in football.
