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.

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.
