The High Press

A bit of a different episode this week as the lads are joined by Lay Pastoral Minister, Richard Haynes, to reflect on what football really means to us all in the wake of the incident involving Christian Eriksen. They share a thoughtful chat of how big a part football plays in our own faith and how the beautiful game can bring us together in times of crisis as much as religion can. Richard also tells us about football funerals, the duty of care of football clubs and comments on the ongoing situation at West Brom. More of a thoughtful and considered discussion this week but we enjoyed it all the same and hope you do too!

It's Coming Home! Maybe... Just in time for the Euros the lads present their tournament preview show. Packed full of analysis for every team, Rob and Cal are joined by their good friend Haidar to discuss every team's chances, top scorers and potential upsets. They share some very surprising opinions but in the middle of all of this we had the pleasure of being joined by Pat Frost, the current England kitman. We had so much fun recording this one for you all, as well as hearing all about s**t kits, Kyle Walker's pants and the Spice Girls. Don't say we don't spoil you! Get them 3 Lions out!

The High Press hits the headlines! This episode is a banger - we're joined by Luke Hatfield, Digital Sports Journalist for The Express and Star. Villa fan by nature and Albion fan by trade, Luke gives us the lowdown on sports reporting, how he got into it and gives advice for aspiring journalists. Hear how he got away with wearing a Villa top in St Andrews, breaking the news of an Albion manager being sacked and which footballer he'd love to interview, plus THAT Hutton goal. He also gives us the latest developments on Pereira and Grealish staying!

The High Press presents their End of Season Rumble! 

Rob and Cal analyse the 2020/21 season to within an inch of its life and present their own awards - Manager, Young Player and Overall Player of the year! Also hear what shocked the lads from the past season including their best and worse transfers (it wasn't Willian). That's followed up by grading every team's performances and deciding the Team of the Season - helped along by 4 brand new BIG guests we haven't featured yet! They'll all be joining us again in the next few weeks but for now decide on your own TOTS and see how it compares to ours!

We're at the business end of the season! The lads cover title deciding matches as they happen in La Liga, Alisson scoring to potentially give Liverpool a European place and the Leicester fairytale continues. 

Plus, this week's interview is with West Brom academy star Nick Clayton-Phillips! Football is everything to Nick as he talks starting out at West Brom, joining the Man City academy and how loan spells away have helped his mindset. He gives the lowdown on locker-room antics as well as spending a season in goal despite being 5 foot 7! All this and more in this week's episode!

Bonjour! Join us for an impromptu football quiz where Rob tells everybody about mattresses and Cal talks about jaffa cakes. The lads cover the news and Rob tells Spurs to sell Kane before moving onto the interview with non-league star striker Demetri Brown. Demetri is the nicest guy you could meet but isn't happy with scoring 40 goals in 48 games! He talks all things from being a journeyman, a free agent, a car lover and a father. He also reveals what his plans are for his career after emerging as a raw talent. Good vibes all round in this one! Up the Sauce!

After observing the social media boycott, we're here again with Episode 6! Birmingham and West Brom midfielder Rekeem Harper joins us for a chat about his potential career as a forensic scientist, playing alongside Sancho and CHO, being a secret striker and an interesting point about loan spells.

You'll have to excuse the poor connection on this one, but Rekeem more than makes up for it with his refreshingly positive attitude, his great work ethic and his huge smile! Keep listening to the lads after the interview for some crazy breaking news, a discussion on the Championship as well as Rob predicting the return of a special someone...

Now this is a good one! In our newest content-packed episode, the lads dissect the most intense week in football with fallout from the failed European Super League, the new 'Swiss model' Champions League and the sacking of the Special One, Jose Mourinho! You can also win a spot on next week's show so listen up!

Following that, we had the delight of speaking to former West Brom youth coach Warren Grant. He's full of football wisdom and stories and covers Saido Berahino, his journey through education and coaching, the best players he's developed and the time Sheffield Wednesday manager Darren Moore saved his life on a night out and much, much more...
