The Football Drop

Technical difficulties galore! Will had the responsibility of video recording for the pod this week with his new swanky laptop... listen and hear how it went as it we still give you the low down of the weekends' games in the Premier League before yet ANOTHER international break! The goalfest at Stamford Bridge between Chelsea & Manchester City was a particular highlight, and Aston Villa win again at home to extend their run further...

The second drop of football this week for you lucky listeners brings an incredible insight to the inner workings of a football club. We were fortunate enough to have Gerry Strain from Hamilton Academical come on the show this week to share his stories from his role as Director of Football at the club. Having joined the club in the position on June 1st, he's wasted no time at all making an impact on the club...

This weeks' episode is a review of Crouchfest 3, if you don't know what it is, it's Peter Crouch's podcast live show which is as random as random can be! From PDC Darts players, to Tom Grennan, Wayne Linekar to David James, this year had it all, with a finale of none other than Rudimental!

Will shares his take and stories on who is the "bitch" on the FDP, and realises pretty quickly at Crouchfest who that was...

This week seems a little glum, Ben is still not having a good time with his health, however Will brings some cracking stories and experiences of just how difficult it can be being a Dad!

We've got some big games being covered this week, with Arsenal drubbing Sheffield Utd, Manchester City exposing all the issues going on at the red half of Manchester and all the rest of the weeks Premier League games...

The Premier League has returned, and with it, 4 red cards, contentious VAR decisions and a significant number of goals across the weekend. The non-expert analysis is back with Will & Ben, the bants isn't quite there as the time of recording this week has changed due to calendar clashes but there's still laughs to keep you entertained...

It's the international break, so we managed to snag a fantastic guest for another FDP Special! We've discussed mental health in the sport recently, but this week we tackle not only mental health but physical health too...

Apologies firstly for the delayed episode this week, Ben's been suffering with a bout of illness and wasn't able to record. Luckily however, he has had Will, being as supportive as ever throughout his illness, aptly naming and playing music this week to help Ben through this difficult time.....

Ben shamelessly bangs on about his fun weekend away with football, without Will, for a long time. Talking about finally seeing his team AFC Crewe for the first time play, meeting and having beers with ex-Premier League Pro Gary Taylor-Fletcher, and the pure buzz of non-league football.

Premier League this week was filled with controversial calls as per usual, with Liverpool facing the brunt of a lot of it...

A very important episode this week, Ben has proposed to the General over the weekend! Ben shares the fantastic news of the proposal over the weekend, and tries to justify that it's a good enough reason to have missed the football all weekend. Will has another barber story too this week, see if you can keep it together! We've also got an exciting announcement on the show this week as FDP looks to #DropThePod further...

We've got CEO, Chairman and all-round legend Liam Bond on the show this week! Liam has his own social media company, is the chairman of grassroots football club AFC Crewe, and also runs and co-founded Mystery Away Days! Liam shares all his knowledge and experience in the beautiful game, and gives us the inside scoop of how to run a football club, and how the entire project even came to fruition...
