    Me, Him & Football Ep 33| Italy Miss 3rd World Cup In A Row| Spurs Sack Tudor| Mascots| Chelsea Drama

    Football from a couple's perspective! One of us lives for football and the other is just trying to keep up. Join Carl (husband) and Linda (wife) as they navigate the biggest stories in the game. The World Cup 2026 lineup is officially COMPLETE! We round up the final play-off drama, including DR Congo’s historic qualification and the absolute meltdown in Rome as Italy miss their third consecutive World Cup after a shock loss to Bosnia & Herzegovina. Is Italian football in a permanent crisis? In "What You Missed," we discuss the chaos at Tottenham as Igor Tudor is sacked after just 44 days. Is Roberto De Zerbi the right man for the job, or is the controversy surrounding his appointment already too much? Plus, we look at why Chelsea fans are fuming at Enzo Fernandez and Marc Cucurella for their recent comments, and UEFA's "PR masterstroke" regarding EURO 2028 ticket prices. Linda gets a lesson on the weird and wonderful world of Football Mascots—from Gunnersaurus to Portland’s chainsaw-wielding lumberjack—and we see if you can beat our FA Cup Final Quiz!

    Me, Him and Football | Ep 32 | Salah Leaving Liverpool, Man City Win Carabao Cup, Mbappe MRI Blunder|

    Football from a couple's perspective! One of us lives for football and the other is just trying to keep up. Join Carl (husband) and Linda (wife) as they navigate the biggest stories in the game. This week, we recap the Carabao Cup Final, where 21-year-old Nico O'Reilly became the hero for Manchester City, scoring two headers to sink Arsenal and secure the first silverware of the season. We discuss the fallout for the Gunners and whether this gives City a "psychological blow" heading into the final stretch of the league. In a massive "What You Missed," we react to the news that Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool at the end of the season. We break down his incredible legacy—including his record-breaking 281 combined goals and assists—and the January fallout with Arne Slot that may have sparked the exit. We also laugh at the bizarre reports coming out of Madrid regarding Kylian Mbappe’s MRI mishap (did they really scan the wrong knee?!). Linda dives into World Cup History for her weekly lesson, we test our knowledge on the 2026 Stadiums in the Quiz, and check the latest Couple v League results.

Plus, Bruno Fernandes chases history as Manchester United tighten their grip on the top four. In "What You Missed," we tackle the absolute madness coming out of AFCON, where Morocco has been declared winner 57 days after the final—a move that has Senegal headed for the courts. We also break down Chelsea's £10.75m fine and suspended transfer ban, and the ongoing crisis regarding Iran’s participation in the World Cup. Can FIFA find a solution in Mexico, or is the tournament under threat?
