The Football Drop

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

It's international break week which usually makes Will & Ben scratch around for content, however we have had shock waves throughout the Premier League this week as Everton are handed the biggest points deduction in EPL history as they failed to adhere to FFP rules. Is 10 pts too harsh? What about Manchester City and their 115 breaches? Plus we have an in-depth roundup of the euro leagues, WSL & Saudi Pro League...

Technical hitches from Will have become pretty standard this season on the pod, but we soldier through to bring some great news stories from Brazil to England, with fan clashes with police, to the tragically sad news of the passing of Terry Venables. We give you the run down of all the Premier League action too with Manchester City vs Liverpool kicking off a great weekend of football...

If you had the power to change 1 rule, what would it be? Will says handball rules, Ben says offside rules as it needs simplifying, how? Listen and find out as he explains just as well as Will pronounces team names outside the Premier League.

The usual round up again this week, the Brazilian League is hotting up with 1 game to go, 3 teams still in the hunt for the title. Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga & Saudi Pro League results and updates packed into another brilliant episode...

It's a double game week this week, which Will intelligently says twice. Some freak scores, Fulham banging in goals for fun after clearly listening to FDP over the last few weeks and listening to Will say they can't score goals or he doesn't see where the goals will come from. Manchester United fail to impress again, Bournemouth on the rise, Newcastle stutter, and Chelsea live up to their reputation of "what Chelsea will turn up" yet again...
