Football Frenemies. Arsenal v Tottenham. Antony Costa from Blue…

The series where we talk about the beautiful game with people we love, but who support teams we hate. On this episode of Football Frenemies, we welcome Antony Costa from the award-winning and massively successful British band, Blue.

Antony grew up in a predominantly Arsenal infused community of North London. Despite the Arsenal’s neighbourhood noise, Antony discovered another team just a few miles down the road, Tottenham Hotspur. He is a fierce Spurs fan who once refused to wear red on stage and passionately dislikes the Arsenal.

Antony and Sophie have appeared on a couple of episodes of Sky Sports Early Kick-Off together and it has been nothing short of frenemy fire! Will she go in two-footed, studs up on, Antony? Or will Antony deliver the final blow to Sophie? Get stuck in. Have your voice heard behind frenemy lines.

The One With Jack Wilshere…

Jack Wilshere is one of the Arsenal’s most beloved sons. But for his injuries, he could’ve become an absolute great. Despite the challenges he faced, when he did pull that shirt on he always wore it with pride and love. He knew what it meant to play for a club like the Arsenal. Over the years, he’s been able to share his Gunners wisdom and has become an inspiration to today’s Hale End lads, including, Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe.

You will not want to miss this conversation with Super Jack & Super Kev. This is a very candid look at what was and what could’ve been. It doesn’t get much better than this! Nuff said…just take a listen!

30 Seconds of Soccer, The Dan Patrick Show…

Dan Patrick is without doubt the most authentic and engaging sports broadcaster in the United States. He has never fallen victim to the shouting, talking head schtick, and if anything, has evolved into an even greater on-air host since going alone. He is the master of the art of conversation. The entire show truly feels like you are down the pub having a pint with your mates.

To have 30 seconds of football/soccer talk with him once a month is an absolutely treat. FYI – It used to be 10 seconds of soccer. Who knows, we may even get it to a whole minute some day soon!

Clip @ 2:51 minutes. Enjoy.

Going Live with Corner of the Galaxy…

FLASHBACK – I’ve met some great people covering, LA Galaxy and MLS here in Southern California. This season, I was invited to join the, Corner of the Galaxy squad as a regular guest. Love being part of this show. Epic humans who know their football and LAG history.

The week of this particular show was also the week where we went live at, Dignity Health Sports Park. The rain came down, equipment was compromised, but nothing could stop us or the fans who came out in their hundreds to support the COG squad. Cannot wait until we can all go back to that!

From the Cannon to Corona…

The world is in self-isolation. But thanks to technology, we still get to connect, broadcast and talk football. The Coronavirus is impacting so many lives, livelihoods and our love of sports. Our souls need good tonic right now. We hope this episode brings you some normalcy and comfort. Hang in there. We are all in this together.

Premier League Grades & the New Season…

As the new season approaches, I’m joined by Oliver Wilson to hand out grades for last season and also look at how they’ve improved their squads in this insane transfer market that has gone totally balls up nuts! Who is Grade A material and who is failing miserably?

You can find Oliver @O_J_Wilson. Follow me @soccerdiva. Also this coming season, I’m joining the Gooner Girls Ramble podcast for some Arsenal chat…and much more! Check out www.thegoonerramble.com for deets!

Brazil Legend Carlos Alberto

3102

One of my favourite interviews ever. Brazil legend and World Cup winning captain Carlos Alberto is so candid with his opinions on the beautiful game. From Messi and Ronaldo, to Neymar and the current Brazil squad, he didn’t hold back with his thoughts. It was a dream to get to speak to him. Another legend gone.
