With Flav recovering from a rave and Dan recovering from Istanbul and another Palace defeat, we ask whether football is pushing away the people who made it.
From disappearing atmospheres and ticketing nonsense to billionaire owners and the pursuit of a global audience, we discuss why supporting your club can feel increasingly disconnected from loving it.
We also get into Michael Carrick’s future at Manchester United, whether any manager can succeed under the current ownership, and the case for Antonio Conte. Would Unai Emery even want the job?
Elsewhere, Flav sees De Zerbi’s Spurs coming together, Dan fears Palace are heading in the opposite direction, and Thomas Frank gets a brutal assessment. Plus Villa’s Nicolas Jackson, Liverpool finding momentum, the relegation picture and which Premier League manager you’d trust with a full English.
