Will is not happy with the weekends' results as Arsenal stutter to a dominant Aston Villa and fail to capitalise on Liverpool stumbling against Crystal Palace. For Manchester City it's just business as usual as they obliterated Luton 5-1 with some spectacular goals. Bayer Leverkusen have confirmed their first ever Bundesliga title with a 5-0 thrashing of Werder Bremen - can they go on to finish undefeated? Rangers also falter as they fall to Ross County 3-2 to experience their first ever loss to them. Championship automatic promotion race is hotting up too with the top 4 all in with a chance o ..read more

FDP Special incoming! Ever wondered what life is like as a football agent? What do football agents actually do? Tony Sharkey has been an agent for over 20 years, and represented players from the Premier League, Championship all the way down to non-league, plus deals abroad too. He built upon this experience further by setting up Football Transfer Forum, a network designed to connect agents to build long lasting working relationships. Great listen and really insightful!

It's international break again, and it feels like it has been a long while since the last round which is nice. This week we talk the rugby vs football debate, an in-depth chat around Ben White's decision to not be considered for England. Why does Will say "Commando" in an American accent. Leicester got a points deduction too from the Premier League, plus Mike Ashley sulks with Newcastle because they won't sell their shirts to him. Haha.

Another FDP special this week; we have the incredible Ben Pearce joining the show this week! Ben currently heads up KMFM's The Hitlist show which airs Monday-Thursday 7pm-10pm. He shares some incredible stories, firstly how he got into the world of radio, but secondly just how nerve racking it can be meeting some childhood heroes, remember Big Brovaz?!
Ben gives some tips on how to be successful within radio and also podcasts (we took some of notes yes, before you ask!) whilst sharing his big fails on local radio with some not-well-thought-out feature ideas for the radio show.
Ben's a huge Man ..read more

Will's been away over the weekend and decided to try the local delicacy, by visiting McDonald's in Spain! His mind was absolutely truly blown by the fact they served beer, and energy drinks there, why can't the UK McDonald's do this!?
We talk goalkeeping heroics with Will's son Jack almost single handedly winning a football tournament for his team with not 1 but 2 penalty saves, but sadly came at a cost. We had a weekend full of absolute screamers in the Premier League, with Brentford's Wissa & West Ham's Soucek shocking the crowds. Meanwhile Rashford had a mixed time in the Manchester der ..read more

Ben has finally returned to join Will & ali this week, and Will welcomes his back in the way he knows best, by taking the p*ss! We've had a few changes in managers over the last few days, with potentially more to follow, with Roy Hodgson leaving Crystal Palace and being replaced immediately by Oliver Glasner. Thomas Tuchel's Bayern Munich have lost their last 3 games in all competitions, most recently a 3-2 defeat at the hands on Bochum, with Bayern officials and senior figures discussing his future this week. West Ham have also hit a poor patch of form, with pressure mounting on David Moy ..read more

Ben is still absent but on the mend. Ali stands in again providing a very rare well done to Arsenal. You can actually hear the pain in his voice. This week we discuss that Savio deal, the implications it could cause globally, but mostly in Spain, France and England. The shockwaves could be huge. We also discuss the AFCON and Asian Cup finals. The game between Bayern and (champions in wait) Leverkusen. We obviously discuss the Premier League action from the weekend and pick our top 10 goalkeepers of the season so far, we may get a couple of digs in at Bens expense throughout. This one cannot be ..read more

Ben is unfortunately, but planned, off from the podcast this week, Will was left to his own devices and the IT. It seems to have gone ok so far, let us know your thoughts...
This week Will and Guest host Ali discuss the news, this ranges Profit and Sustainability issues in the January transfer window, Jude Bellingham and that incident playing for Real Madrid against Getafe. The Messi and Ronaldo reunion that didn't happen. We then go in depth on the two rounds of PL games and go to town on Chelsea. Might be a mention or two of Arsenal, if Ali allows it.
We also, in this bumper episode, pick ..read more
