Episode Details

In this episode we confirm Dan’s okay after a short break, then dive straight into Crystal Palace’s humiliating FA Cup exit and why it may be the worst performance in the club’s modern history. From there we broaden the conversation to Tottenham, Chelsea and beyond, asking who really carries responsibility in modern football: the head coach on the touchline or the directors and ownership behind the scenes. We discuss Thomas Frank’s situation at Spurs, Oliver Glasner’s uncertain future at Palace, Chelsea’s new manager and the pressures of leading elite players in the social media era. Plus listener questions, FA Cup fallout, and the strange reality of supporting football clubs that always seem to find new ways to test you.
