im Vickery and Henry Winter return for Episode 2 of Futebol & Football, with Tim delivering a damning assessment of Neymar's World Cup role and questioning how Carlo Ancelotti became caught up in the pressure surrounding Brazil's biggest star. But first, Tim and Henry tackle the madness of the transfer window and the extraordinary financial power of the Premier League. Has England's wealth made it the most competitive league in world football, and are even the biggest clubs now being forced to adapt to the physicality of the teams below them? They also discuss Gabriel Jesus leaving Arsenal for Barcelona, why his 2018 World Cup may have permanently changed him as a goalscorer, Gabriel Martinelli's Arsenal legacy, Savinho's stalled development, Manchester City's move for Palmeiras talent Allan, Juninho's impact at Middlesbrough and the return of Cole Palmer. Plus: Chelsea's frightening new attack, England's ridiculous collection of No.10s, Brazil under Ancelotti and why England's upcoming meeting with Spain could tell us plenty about Thomas Tuchel's side. Futebol & Football with Tim Vickery & Henry Winter is part of FC Camisa, the home of football stories told properly.
Five weeks on from the World Cup final, Tim Vickery and Henry Winter are back together. Welcome to Futebol & Football, a new FC Camisa show bringing together two different perspectives on the same game: Tim from South America, Henry from England, and both with a lifetime of stories from football around the world. In Episode 1, Henry still hasn't forgiven England for what happened at the World Cup, Tim admits he's struggling to reconnect with the Premier League, and the conversation quickly turns into something much bigger: has elite football lost some of its soul? They discuss Thomas Tuchel's England future, Harry Kane, the growing distance between clubs and supporters, Argentina's winning mentality, Enzo Fernández and racism in football, the escalating battle around Gianni Infantino and FIFA, the prospect of a 64-team World Cup and whether football's calendar can keep expanding. And finally, Lionel Messi. After the death of his father, Tim and Henry reflect on Messi the footballer, Messi the man, whether we are approaching the end, and how Argentina can possibly move on from the greatest player of their generation.

Jack is back with Tom Hayward to break down all the key talking points following Tottenham's pre-season tour of Australia and New Zealand. We kick off with a dive into the true value of these far-flung summer tours. We call out the puritanical backlash against overseas pre-seasons, highlighting the hypocrisy of ignoring the global nature of modern squad compositions and the commercial realities that sustain top-flight clubs. We also celebrate Mathys Tel's standout pre-season displays, before assessing Antonin Kinsky's performances and debating Henry Winter's claim that Spurs still desperately need a new number one. Next, we tackle the transfer rumour mill. We break down the Victor Osimhen links and explain why his post-tax wage demands make a move to the Premier League completely non-viable, before turning our attention to the intriguing reports linking Cody Gakpo with North London. Then, we dissect Roberto De Zerbi's astonishingly open quotes regarding Richarlison's future as the Brazilian enters the final year of his contract. Is it time to cash in, or can De Zerbi unlock his best form once again? Finally, we answer a listener request to rank Tottenham's Brazilians from best to worst, featuring everyone from Lucas Moura, Sandro, and Heurelho Gomes to Paulinho, Carlos Vinícius, and Gilberto.

Spurs made an eye-catching start to the transfer window, Henry assesses the transfers completed so far and whether the club is finally building a squad capable of challenging at the very highest level next season. More importantly, he identifies what Tottenham still need to do before the window closes if they are to bridge the gap to the top of the Premier League. We also delve into some of the biggest transfer stories currently surrounding the club, discussing the prospects of moves for Victor Osimhen, Cody Gakpo, Savinho and Omar Marmoush, separating the genuine possibilities from the speculation. We also reflect on potential exits for Club captain Cristian Romero, Djed Spence and Lucas Bergvall and how the Club will deal with the nature of the negotiations for each individual player. The conversation also takes an entertaining turn as Henry gives his take on Roberto De Zerbi's now-famous use of the word 'BOMBA'—what it reveals about the new Spurs boss, his personality and the infectious energy he is already bringing to the football club.

Host Ricky Sacks is joined by co-host Billie and Henry Winter, who is one of the most recognisable names in sports media, who been writing on football for 35 years. He has held titles of Sports Journalists' Association and Football Supporters' Association Football Writer of the Year on numerous occasions is now also co-host of the superb Football Boardroom Podcast alongside ex-Liverpool/Chelsea/Villa executive Christian Purslow. We get a journalist perspective of what Henry is making of Tottenham's fall at a time in which Spurs are considering their options for a second change of manager in a month after three defeats in Igor Tudor's first three matches in charge. As things stand, the club say Tudor will take the team for the Champions League game against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday. We discuss with Henry if Tudor's under merely a stay of execution, and if they was to sack the Croatian where they could turn to with the limited options available at this time. It's understood that after the game on Thursday night against Crystal Palace, and still in kit, the Tottenham players held an impromptu discussion in the changing room. There was talk of facing up to the gravity of the situation and taking more personal responsibility for performances. We discuss with Henry whether these players can dig us out of the mess we are in and stop the Club from being relegated. We also dissect whether The Lewis Family are in it for the long-haul at Spurs and what the future's look like for CEO Vinai Venkatesham and Sporting Director Johan Lange. We finally close on the importance of Spurs being in the Premier League and if the unthinkable was to happen, the consequences of that event.

Jack welcomes Billie from the When The Whistle Blows podcast back to the show to reflect on the current doom spiralling at Tottenham Hotspur. With board neglect, mounting injuries, and a general feeling that the universe is conspiring against us, we try to find a reason to remain hopeful. We ask if the fans are now the last bastion keeping the club in the Premier League. The pair explore the heavy emotional toll of constantly rallying behind a team that has let the supporters down so often over the past couple of years, and discuss how we can possibly muster the energy to keep going when times are this tricky. Billie also touches on a fascinating conversation he recently had with renowned journalist Henry Winter on Last Word on Spurs alongside Ricky Sacks. We discuss how disarming, yet incredibly validating, it was to have somebody with such vast footballing knowledge from outside the Tottenham bubble notice the exact same structural failings that Spurs fans have been screaming about. Finally, attention turns to the Champions League and the upcoming clash with Atletico Madrid. Despite the sad reality that this could be the last game Spurs play in Europe's elite competition for quite some time, we debate whether the fixture simply feels like an unwelcome distraction from the terrifying and all-consuming threat of domestic relegation.
