  • Harry and Adam

    Great combination . Harry’s passion and humour shine through , whilst Adam is terrific on the tactical side of things .

    Both very articulate , and worth listening to on their own podcasts , but a bit of a dream team when put together

  • Saying Reactionary when you mean Reactive

    Love the show, love Harry .

    However , my enjoyment is being tempered by Harry’s repeated use of the word ‘reactionary’, when he really means ‘reactive ‘

    A reactionary is “ a person who wants to reverse political changes and seeks to restore society to a state believed to have existed before”

    So you’d perhaps be reactionary if you wanted George Graham to be the next Manager, and revert to a 4-4-2.

    To be reactive in the context you’re describing is similar to having a ‘knee jerk reaction’ to ev... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"The one player I want in at all costs" - Planning Arsenal's summer with Adam Keys
Q: Why is Morgan Rogers your preferred signing, and what could he bring to the team?
He brings technical quality, versatility to play across left, numbers in goal contributions, pressing intensity, and the ability to function as a 10 or winger, offering a game-changing element that could elevate multiple attacking positions.
"The one player I want in at all costs" - Planning Arsenal's summer with Adam Keys
Q: What positions would you prioritise if you were making the calls this summer?
The top priorities are left wing and right back, with midfield and striker/second striker options as secondary avenues depending on price and fit; Morgan Rogers emerges as the prime target to address multiple needs.
'This book is a MUST read!' - Killing Maradona with David Arrowsmith
Q: How did you manage the balance between celebrating football achievements and revealing darker forces at play behind the scenes?
He emphasizes presenting the full context: the glory of the game alongside the dark forces—junta-era politics, cartels, and corruption—that intersect with football, shaping outcomes and personal destinies.
'This book is a MUST read!' - Killing Maradona with David Arrowsmith
Q: What drew you to South American football culture, and how does that influence your storytelling approach for the Maradona book?
David describes growing up with a strong Colombian heritage and a passion for crime storytelling, which shapes his storyteller role rather than that of a traditional journalist, allowing him to weave football history with broader crime and political narratives.
'This book is a MUST read!' - Killing Maradona with David Arrowsmith
Q: I guess my question, David, is how do you go about sourcing that kind of stuff? Not to give away your secrets, but what was the process like in terms of digging deep and finding these anecdotes?
David explains that sourcing involves a fishing-the-bottom-of-the-rabbit-hole approach: starting from small nuggets in autobiographies or documentaries, contacting many people, and using archival resources from multiple languages and archives, including clubs' archives and even specialized government files, to flesh out details while navigating access and redactions.
