Episode Details

We start with The Overlap aftermath, Arsenal fans asking for “respect”, and why rivalry means you’re not doing favours for anyone. Flav makes the case for relegating Arsenal based on pure skullduggery. Then we talk World Cup hype being non-existent, the sportswashing era, and ticket pricing that turns football into a rich person’s hobby. We finish on VAR and whether refs have become dependent on the safety net, plus Dycheball misery, Maranakis chaos, Bosnia travel fear, and a strong finish in Malady Corner with gout and Flav’s burning feet.

If you tell me the show name (Fighting Cock or Football Between the Lines) and roughly when it’s going out, I’ll tweak the best description to match your usual cadence and length.
