This week, we discuss the Neo-Nazi siege film, "Green Room." We discuss director, Jeremy Saulnier's career up to this point and how it fits into what A24 was doing at the time. We also discuss the making of the film in Portland, and how this all came together. We then dive into the plot of the film and discuss everything we love about this film. Finally, we each pair the film with another for a pair of double bills!

Manchester United and Denmark legend Peter Schmeichel joins Joe Cole for the final preview episode of Could It Be Coming Home. Peter gives his verdict on the 2026 World Cup final, explaining why Spain have played the best football, why Argentina are masters of tournament football, and how Lionel Messi continues to redefine greatness. He also discusses the fascinating battle between Messi and Lamine Yamal, and predicts who will lift the trophy. The pair also look back on England's World Cup campaign, with Schmeichel explaining why he believes Thomas Tuchel can build a team capable of winning the next World Cup, why the criticism of England has been over the top, and what the Three Lions need to do to take the final step. Elsewhere, Peter reveals which England star's absence hurt them the most during the tournament, the former Manchester United player whose level of fame outstrips even Sir David Beckham's, why the Azteca Stadium shocked Jurgen Klopp and the teammates he'd most want beside him in the pub.
Transfer season is in full swing, England are out of the World Cup, and Chelsea's board is once again €20 million short of common sense. We get into all of it.Church is in session this week as we run through everything that's happened — and pointedly not happened — in Chelsea's transfer window. Trevoh Chalobah looks bound for Como, the Pep Chavarría saga has gone fully sideways, and we're now officially linked to Porto's Diogo Costa, which naturally means the board thinks he's worth €20m less than his release clause. We also debut a brand new segment: the Shitty Transfer Rumor of the Week. It goes about as well as you'd expect.Farewell, TrevChalobah has finally said yes to Como — except now Como might be getting cold feet, having never actually met our valuation. We're both sad to see him go: Chelsea through and through, a solid role player who did a lot for the club. Jason floats a theory that Como is waiting on England's third-place match to see if Trev finally gets minutes (and stays healthy) before dropping the cash. Also on the record: if Thomas Tuchel plays Reece James in that match, we are both going to lose it.The Left-Back Saga: Chavarría vs. CarrerasRayo Vallecano has gone from wanting €21m for Pep Chavarría to demanding his full €42 million release clause — for a 28-year-old with zero Spain caps whose market value sits around €10m. Meanwhile we've bid €25m for Real Madrid's Álvaro Carreras, a player Xabi Alonso has actually managed and might actually want. We go back and forth on which link is real, but land in the same place: if the prices are comparable, go get the guy your manager knows. And half of Chelsea Twitter screaming “back Xabi” over a Rayo left-back needs to log off.Diogo Costa and the €20 Million ProblemHere's the one that sends Daniel over the edge. Chelsea are linked to Porto keeper Diogo Costa — Portugal's starting goalkeeper at this World Cup — who has a €60m release clause. The board's position? He's worth more like 40. Just pay the extra €20 million and lock down the position for the next five to seven years. Get a shirt sponsor — you know, like every other club in the Premier League has — and you've found the money. Five sporting directors, and this is the M.O. every time: wildly overpay (Cucurella, Mudryk, Gittens, Delap, Fofana, Badiashile, Disasi) or nickel-and-dime a deal to death. There's no in-between.John Stones on a Free?Joe Cole and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink both say Chelsea should sign John Stones on a free after City let him walk. Jason's initially in — then remembers Stones is 32 and, in Daniel's words, “can't jump anymore.” But with Chalobah leaving and our record buying defenders in their prime, we grudgingly agree: he started every England match at the World Cup while Fofana, Disasi and Badiashile sat at home. He can't make the back line worse. The fact that we're seriously weighing this — and might lose the bidding war to Leeds — tells you exactly where this club is right now.Shitty Transfer Rumor of the Week (New Segment!)Our new favorite thing. Jason brings a single-sourced Egyptian TV report that Mo Salah wants to come home to Chelsea. Daniel counters with PSG — the two-time defending Champions League winners — preparing a €65m bid for Nicolas Jackson. Both are complete nonsense. Both are exactly why this segment exists. We close with the Disasi-to-West-Ham rumor (£25m reported) and whether this board will ever move the players nobody wants. This is a public episode.

Could It Be Magic, the FA Cup podcast sponsored by Carling, is back with another episode as Joe Cole and Ashley Cole welcome their former Chelsea and England teammate Wayne Bridge into the studio. They look back at the 3rd round which featured that historic upset as Macclesfield dumped out Crystal Palace, and they also reflect on a career which saw Wayne reach two FA Cup finals: winning it with Chelsea in 2007 and coming up just short for Southampton in 2003 against the legendary Arsenal team of Henry, Pires, Bergkamp, Vieira and Ash! Away from the FA Cup the lads give us their take on how their former England teammate Michael Carrick has started out life as Manchester United manager and look specifically at how his spell in charge might rejuvenate Kobbie Mainoo. They also turn their attention to new Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior and the challenges he will face as a young coach in a high pressure job. Bridgey also reveals what it took to emerge as the winner of Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins and the lads try their hands at the traditional pub game of beer mat flipping and get very competitive with it!

Former England and Premier League star Joe Cole opens up about the lessons learned beyond the pitch, honesty, resilience, and what it truly means to live a high performance life.He reflects on the power of self-accountability, the importance of prioritising family over fame, and the danger of tying your identity solely to your career. Joe speaks candidly about setbacks, pressure, and the freedom that comes from letting go of perfection, reminding us that success is about balance, not constant achievement.Grounded in kindness and perspective, Joe's message is clear: when life feels heavy, look outward, helping others might just be the most powerful way to help yourself.
