The Blizzard: Croatia 1-1 Turkey (1-3 pens), 2008 Jun 20, 2020

Show notes

On today’s episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard, the New York Times’ Tariq Panja joins us to remember one of the most raucous football atmospheres he’s ever experienced, where his laptop “consistently bounced off the table in the press box for the full 120 minutes.”

Tariq, Marcus and Jonathan reminisce about an error-ridden match where Turkey looked certain to go out as the game unfolded and Croatian pressure started to mount. Drama late in extra-time, a chaotic penalty shoot-out and a frantic battle to get to a European Championship semi-final ensured this was truly a game to remember.

The Preview Show: Norwich fight for their lives, José’s back (again), and views from a Travel Tavern Jun 19, 2020

Show notes

With a full weekend of Premier League fixtures to look forward to, the next few days promise to be full of gloriously unfiltered Barclays action. So join Marcus Speller, Andy Brassell and Luke Moore to discuss it all on today’s episode of The Preview Show, sponsored by Betway!

We look ahead to pivotal fixtures at both ends of the table, as Norwich look for a much-needed win to keep their slim relegation survival hopes alive, while José Mourinho faces his old club with presumably the same air of disdain and resentment he left with. Elsewhere, we give you the lowdown on Chelsea’s latest signing as Timo Werner puts pen to paper, we hear about Kai Havertz getting cheeky on Twitter, and Andy takes on Marcus in a titanic battle on another edition of Luke’s Game!

Arsenal return as only they can, Hawk-Eye proves fallible after all, and the Champions League: Lisbon Edition takes shape Jun 18, 2020

Show notes

Jules Breach, Jim Campbell and Andy Brassell are here to finally look back over some Premier League action! 100 days without it and we immediately get controversy over technology and Arsenal imploding. The more things change the more they stay the same.

In Manchester the follically barren charlatan Pep Guardiola got one over on former assistant Mikel Arteta after a trademark David Luiz implosion, while at Villa Park Sheffield United can count themselves incredibly unlucky after goal line technology was revealed to have a blind spot, something that hasn’t been uncovered in over 9,000 games thus far.

We also had time to look at the imperious dominance of the Bayern Munich machine, more cardboard cutout fun and a certain somebody’s gluttonous birthday plans.

Show notes

On the third and final episode of the series, we turn our attention to the financial necessity behind the Premier League's return and explore how coronavirus will reshape the future of English football.

Join Melissa Reddy as she also dissects the neutral venues debate with the help of former police superintendent, Owen West. He labeled it a missed opportunity to engage with fans and build greater trust. Dr Rob Wilson breaks down the impact on the transfer window, and along with ESPN's Mark Ogden, talks through the Premier League's continued hand-to-mouth existence. They consider what mechanisms can be put in place to safeguard English football against another stoppage like this in the future.

Show notes

We're back with the second episode of our three-part series, The Return of the Premier League, hosted by Melissa Reddy!

With football trying to implement the early stages of Project Restart, the priority was ensuring the safest working environment possible for a return to training.

We hear from the likes of ESPN's Mark Ogden and STATSport's Sean O'Connor about football's unprecedented new normal, while Bournemouth defender Chris Mepham describes what getting a Coronavirus test actually feels like!

The Blizzard: England 2-0 Scotland, 1996 Jun 13, 2020

Show notes

A few days ahead of the game’s 24th anniversary, comedian Mark Watson joins us to remember one of England’s most iconic victories on today’s episode of the Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard.

As Jonathan frantically scrambled from a university exam to catch the game, Terry Venables’ England side prepared for a crucial game in Group A of Euro 96. After the infamous night out in Hong Kong ahead of the tournament, then the disappointing 1-1 draw with Switzerland in the opening game, a win was crucial for the hosts. Mark, Jonathan and Marcus revel in their heady memories of a glorious summer of football – perhaps best encapsulated by Paul Gascoigne’s moment of genius as he nonchalantly flicks the ball over Colin Hendry’s head and smashes it home. Magical stuff.

The Preview Show: Transfer Tinder, Mikel Arteta’s “strange” return to Man City and Shaquille O’Neal Jun 12, 2020

Show notes

It’s not just the Premier League that’s returning next week but also the Premier League narrative. Mikel Arteta is preparing to return to The Etihad to face old boss Pep Guardiola and we are all EXCITED. West Ham are getting ready too, with a massive mosaic. To whom will this mammoth task fall? Is it not vulnerable to mischief making? So many questions need answering.

Leagues One and Two have voted to end their season so we have lots to say about that, while also taking in a surprise visit from Shaquille O’Neal and having a lovely chat about Sir Les Ferdinand flirting with Juventus on football’s new dating app.

We also have an open top plane update from a listener and Uncle Pete tells us about his camera roll, memories of a particular sideboard and the Dōtonbori river’s sinister Curse of the Colonel.
