    Episode 18: Brave New World

    What have we just witnessed? PSG vs Bayern has caused a rupture in football's space-time continuum. It is as though a portal has been opened to another dimension, and a barrage of possible futures has come flooding in. But how much of this is real? Does this game really herald the coming of a new age? Or, is it a curious artefact that reflects our own biases back at us? Is Mikel Arteta the heir to Diego Simeone's Haramball crown? Or, was Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid another example of the game's most sophisticated tactical system at work? All this, and more, as Muffi joins Jamie in The 3rd Circle. Hosted on Acast.

    Episode 16: The Critique Of Pure Football Coaching

    Jamie and Gorka shield their eyes from the alluring glare of objective football theory as they place aesthetics front and centre of our experience. Our hosts draw on the philosophy of Immanuel Kant to help explain why we can never establish contact with 'the-game-in-itself'. Can we ever analyse a game objectively? Does best practice exist? Why does any of this even matter? It's a philosophical deep-dive into The 3rd Circle. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Episode 13: Total Diagonality

    This is the second part of Jamie and Martin's discussion around Karl Marius Aksum's implementation of a perception-based coaching methodology with Swedish champions Mjallby. Despite the meagre resources of the small fishing village, Mjallby were able to gain significant advantages as a result of Aksum's innovative techniques. But how does a concept as vague as 'perception' actually cash-out in the real-world of football tactics? The 3rd Circle follows in the footsteps of Kandinsky, Boulez, Cantor and Deleuze by positing the relevance of diagonality. In doing so, we transcend the straight line logic of the vertical and horizontal by setting course on a new, oblique trajectory for football coaching. Hosted on Acast.

    Episode 12: Scanners

    In David Cronenberg's body-horror cult classic "Scanners", members of the public with special psychic and telekinetic powers are recruited by weapons manufacturer ConSec.

Visual perception is the topic du jour in The 3rd Circle, and unlikely Swedish champions Mjallby AIF are our entry point. How did a tiny fishing community and a 'football doctor' get their hands on the Allsvenskan title? Were telekinetic powers involved? Enter The 3rd Circle to find out. This discussion has been split into two parts. This episode is Part 1. Part 2 will be available soon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
