Yeah I said this to Sam on the show. And it’s all surreptitiously ignored by a lot of fans of what was then ‘the big five’, including fans with otherwise solid politics.

Was great just to hang out with Sam but I thought the ‘keep pulling at that thread’ line re anger about City was especially sharp.

I’m really glad that Guy (who is a really lovely man) and I were able to have that conversation about how fans of the big clubs often seem to think supporting any club outside of the elite is a bit esoteric and silly.

Always a pleasure to interview David, and even more so to be able to have a bit of a ramble together rather than doing a set piece interview.

Paying tribute to Mike Davis was a moving way to end a typically great conversation with David Goldblatt on this week’s episode. Man knows how to give a team talk.

Finally listened to this. Lots of good things this pod gets to that other conversations with Jon about the book don’t. One example: a discussion about football data is backward looking, emerging in the Guardiola era, measuring aspects of the game that reflect that meta

A genuinely exhilarating conversation on Pep Guardiola and how football tactics evolve which moves through the ideas of Hegel, Koselleck, Marx, Mark Fisher, and Derrida to do so. All delivered in a warm, funny and unpretentious manner. Superb. Listen to this and buy Jon's book!

This really was a speed run of a book that deserves more time, but I had a blast talking about it with @jonmackenzie.bsky.social, who I think has taken a step towards establishing himself in the pantheon of the greats alongside eg Goldblatt, Wilson.
