    Sound of Football Podcast 646 - Staring into the abyss

    A crushing home defeat to Crystal Palace has pushed Tottenham closer to the edge of relegation. They are one of the most financially successful clubs in the world and were one of the driving forces behind the creation of the Premier League in 1992. Relegation seems unthinkable but is a very real possiblilty. But could there be a way out for them? If they do go down, at least it will be easier to finish among the play-off places in the Championship. From next season six teams will be involved in the post-season knockout.

    Sound of Football Podcast 645 - Throwing in the towel

    In the constant hunt for marginal gains, the introduction of dedicated set-piece coaches has allowed otherwise lower-mid-table clubs to thrive with goals from corners and long throws. But now the bigger clubs are following suit, is this development damaging the entertainment value of the Premier League? And, if so, should the lawmakers do something about it? And talking of lawmakers, in yet another move to change the laws to make VAR more palatable, Arsene Wenger's suggestion for relaxing the offside law is to be trialled in the Canadian Premier League, a league that doesn't even have VAR, let alone semi-automated offside detection.

    Sound of Football Podcast 644 - Humble drag

    Palace fans have had their fill of Oliver Glasner now he's told them to stay humble. Terry was at Selhurst Park at the weekend to see for himself how humble the fans feel like being right now. Meanwhile Tottenham fans are facing up to the reality of being in a relegation scrap after another home defeat, this time in the North London derby. Also this week, we welcome back Gary Andrews for his thoughts on the upcoming Women’s Asian Cup in Australia which will boast a galaxy of WSL stars. In the UK you'll be able to watch it on YouTube.

    Sound of Football Podcast 643 - Fourth time lucky

    Last week Nottingham Forest became the first Premier League side ever to sack three permanent managers in the same season. Less than 24 hours before Sean Dyche was relieved of his duties, Thomas Frank's time in charge Spurs came to an end. Will the new men in charge fare any better in the fight to avoid relegation? Also this week we discuss the weekend's FA Cup fourth round, which saw Mansfield coming from behind to beat Burnley at Turf Moor.

    Sound of Football Podcast 642 - The smell of the game

    The chaotic scenes at the end of the weekend’s match between Liverpool and Manchester City laid bare one of the most fundamental problems with VAR: it may make the game more correct but it also makes it less joyful. Why then is it such a surprise to those who support VAR, like Gary Neville, that it sucks pleasure from football? Is there a place for “the smell of the game” in a world of VAR?

    Sound of Football Podcast 641 - An extra special one

    Benfica goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin's last-gasp winning goal against Real Madrid must go down as one of the greatest moments in Champions League history. But is it enough to prove to the doubters the entertainment value of the new format Champions League? It certainly reminded everyone that Jose Mourinho is still one for the big occasion. Also this week, we discuss the close of the winter transfer window, Arsenal Women becoming world champions and Rodri's problem with referees.

    Sound of Football Podcast 640 - Don't mention the score

    With Graham, Terry and Jan’s teams all losing this weekend, the last thing we wanted to discuss was football. So we don't. Instead, before the final round of fixtures of the League phase of the Champions League, we discuss the growing perception that the new format is less exciting. We also try to work out how many subscriptions fans in the UK will need to watch their team now that Paramount+ has secured rights for the Champions League from 2027. In other news, the FA has decided to give the FA Cup a “sonic identity”. We get into the spirit by offering some helpful suggestions. Anything but think about the weekend's results.

There’s more than vital points at stake when Crystal Palace visit Forest. I predict now that travelling fans will be singing the same song for the whole game. Also Arsenal Women have the chance to become World Champions. Get our FREE weekly newsletter in your email by signing up to the Weekend Boxset today.

    Sound of Football Podcast 639 - Cup of chaos

    The final of the Africa Cup of Nations descended into chaos when the eventual winners Senegal left the pitch in protest against some questionable refereeing decisions that benefitted the hosts Morocco. But that was only the start of the drama. Also this week Terry has opinions on Oliver Glasner and his seemingly unilateral decision to make public that he won't be staying at Crystal Palace at the end of his contract.
