The Football Weekly Book: The first ever book from everyone’s favourite football podcast

Product Information

It’s possible to love the club while holding the owners in contempt, as Manchester United fans, among others, regularly demonstrate. Members can attend events that take the power of open journalism from print and digital into live experiences. Even the billionaire riches of American businessman Bill Foley have not changed the modest car park to the rear of the corrugated iron – and temporary – South Stand, erected in 2013. There is something soothing about a trip to Somerset, even though Yeovil do possess, let’s face it, a piddly stadium.

Newport v Brighton, 10 January 2021: I’d parked in the primary school where the Newport players and staff park. Join Max Rushden, Barry Glendenning and special guests as they pick over the latest action from the Premier League and beyond.

Barry: Tony Cascarino’s autobiography, which he wrote with the help of the Irish journalist Paul Kimmage, is probably my favourite football book, although I’m sure if I ever get around to reading any of the books written by my friend and colleague Jonathan Wilson, I might enjoy them too. At the end of Biscuit Way (I know) is an endless haven of concrete bays in which to apply the handbrake. I look forward to sitting behind a desk at the live tour ready to sign thousands of copies while people walk straight past me and go to the bar/ask Barry for a selfie. You can protest, whether it makes a big difference or not, but I guess people don’t want to protest when the team is successful. Max: I’m not a violent man (my fighting record is P0 W0 D0 L1), but I reckon one of Gavi or Pedri but not both – and only in self-defence.

Elsewhere, Manchester City make it look easy once again against Leipzig, with Rico Lewis the next player Pep Guardiola has reinvented. If you are unable to join at the time of streaming, this event will be available to watch on demand in the days following.

Expect nonsense, trivia, filler, too much about The Mighty Cambridge United, not enough about [insert your club here], and very occasionally, an insightful remark. If fans can’t get to one of the available dates or cities listed in-person, the show to end all shows in Brighton (Wednesday 22 November) will also be livestreamed.
