Podcasts about Macclesfield

Some games are not about flair. They are about control.As Everton arrive at Villa Park, this main show looks past form lines and reputations to focus on why Aston Villa are structurally well suited to matches like this. Patient play, physical resistance, limited space, and an opponent built to frustrate rather than entertain.The discussion centres on Emery's evolving approach. Positional discipline, intelligent rotation, and letting the ball do the work rather than chasing it. Villa are not running more than opponents. They are running smarter. The Opta data backs it up. Fewer pressures, fewer recovery runs, and a squad that is being preserved rather than burned out.Everton are assessed honestly. Organised, stubborn, but limited. Short of goals, short of creativity, and reliant on attrition rather than incision. This is not a game Villa need to force. It is a game they need to manage.There is also look at Villa's squad depth, Kamara's absence and recovery timeline, Torres' return, January transfer noise, and why Villa appear better positioned for the second half of the season than many of their rivals.The show also steps back to take in the wider football landscape. Macclesfield's record-breaking FA Cup shock over Crystal Palace. José Mourinho making his players sleep at the training ground after defeat. Austin MacPhee's cheeky second-ball intervention and the fine line between marginal gains and gamesmanship.There's also the Lovers Walk Unlimited Orchestra's Istanbul '26 remix of the Youri song ahead of Villa's Europa League game against Fenerbahçe.UTVGet a Great NordVPN DealGet a cracking deal on NordVPN with four months FREE & a 30 days money-back guarantee here: nordvpn.com/momsGET AD-FREE SHOWS and JOIN MATCH CLUBGet ad-free shows and extra shows, and join My Old Man Said's 24/7 Villa community, Match Club.For more details and to become a member, click here: Become a MOMS MemberJoin the show's listener facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid Chris Budd - @BUDD_musicPhillip Shaw - @prsgameMusic production & creation - David MichaelMy Old Man Said - https://www.myoldmansaid.comThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.

The Football Weekend is on tour this week with a first stop in Paris, France after a harrowing red-eye flight sat in front of the most formidable snorer in human history. More on that in this week's episode — a quick one for a number of reasons, not least your host's fitness levels.I initially asked ESPN and NBC commentator Jon Champion if he had a few minutes to chat about one of the stadiums I'll be covering on the ground next week for the latest edition of our CATHEDRALS series on the world's great football stadiums. Look out for more on that soon, and check out more of Jon's stadium expertise in our Goodison Park feature from last year.But it also seemed like a fine time to check in with him about his work calling FA Cup matches for ESPN — our U.S. listeners can catch every game on ESPN and ESPN+ this season — because it's already an extraordinary edition of the world's oldest knockout competition. Macclesfield, yes, but Wrexham, too, and Jon was at the Racecourse Ground to call that one last weekend. Plus, we got into a bit of a Manchester derby preview.Get more sharp coverage of the world's game at TheFootballWeekend.com ↗️ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Following the departure of Ruben Amorim, the team look back on his time at the club and discuss what ultimately led to his exit.Attention then turns to Michael Carrick, who has stepped in on an interim basis.

Terence, Albert and Hesketh are reunited for the first time in over a month and unfortunately just in time to pick over the bones of an utterly shambolic third-round exit from the FA Cup at the hands of Macclesfield.We try to delay the inevitable by talking about the Main Stand redevelopment, Mamadou Sakho calling time on his career, Conor Gallagher heading to Tottenham Hotspur, and the entertaining 0–0 draw with Aston Villa - but there's no escaping it.The Macclesfield result has to be dissected, the blame has to be shared, and absolutely nobody gets out unscathed.

Ander Iturralde da la bienvenida a Gonzalo Carol y Santi Bauzá para analizar toda la acción de este fin de semana de ronda de FA Cup...Comenzando por el triunfo del Chelsea en campo del Charlton Athletic en el estreno de su nuevo entrenador Liam Rosenior; continuando por el Arsenal ganando en Portsmouth en un duelo reminiscente de hace tantos años y esta vez con Gabriel Martinelli marcando un hat-trick; cosa que hubiese salvado al Crystal Palace, un hat-trick, pero que fue imposible de lograr ante la histórica machada que infligió sobre ellos, los vigentes campeones, el hace cinco años renacido Macclesfield de sexta división, en la que seguramente sea la mayor sorpresa jamás vista en la FA Cup; en la que el Wrexham también tuvo su propia sorpresa logrando eliminar al Nottingham Forest en la tanda de penaltis el Viernes por la noche; un día antes de la descorazonadora eliminación del Tottenham a manos del Aston Villa; pero no tan devastadora como la derrota del Exeter por nueve goles a manos del Manchester City; entre otros resultados, el Sunderland eliminó al Everton en otra tanda de penaltis; el Newcastle al Bournemouth en otra más; el Brentford al Sheffield Wednesday; el Wolverhampton le marcó seis goles a alguien; el West Ham ganó un partido; el Manchester United perdió otro para ser eliminado por segunda vez a la primera en una copa este año y muchísimo más.Escucha este episodio sin censura y con escena pre y post-créditos, apoya que Alineación Indebida pueda prosperar, accede a todo nuestro contenido premium y a nuestro server de Discord suscribiéndote por tan sólo 1.00$/1.00€ en: https://www.patreon.com/posts/148007456Además...

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Jonathan Northcroft and Miguel Delaney to reflect on the weekend's sporting action.We begin with the heroics of Macclesfield, who knocked out Crystal Palace to reach the fourth round of the FA Cup. Jonathan calls it “a beautiful reminder of what football can be.”Attention then turns to another defeat for Tottenham Hotspur and we ask how much time Thomas Frank has left after Spurs bow out of what looks like their final chance at a trophy this season. Next, we turn our attention to Manchester United. Darren Fletcher has been appointed interim manager, but we ask who the right choice would be to take charge over a longer period, through to the end of the season.Finally, we assess Viktor Gyökeres's form and some of the data that suggests he might not quite be at Premier League level.Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

We all spend a lot of time lamenting the cynical side of the modern game, but if there's an antidote, it's the weekend ahead of us. The FA Cup Third Round Proper is one for the romantics: the smallest clubs in the land can share a pitch with the biggest, and both sides can live a different football life for a day.Moss Rose was built in 1891 for Macclesfield Town, which was would-up in 2020 amid financial troubles. A phoenix club was born in the ashes and has risen from the ninth tier of the English football pyramid (the North West Counties Football League) to the sixth (the National League North) in next-to-no time. Now they've got their biggest match of the year on Saturday, as FA Cup holders and Premier League stalwarts Crystal Palace will come to a small ground south of Manchester to battle the Silkmen.In fact, says this week's guest, it's one of the biggest days in the combined history of Macclesfield Town and Macclesfield F.C. That guest is James Walker of The Silkmen News, a podcast and newsletter, and he also explained how new owner Robert Smethurst righted the ship with the help of his friend Robbie Savage after buying up the assets in an online liquidation sale. We also touched on how Wayne Rooney's brother, John, is doing this season having replaced Savage as manager having helped the club win promotion how non-league football is thriving these days, and how Macclesfield got their nickname.For our U.S. listeners, you can catch every FA Cup match this season on ESPN+Check out The Silkmen News on Spotify and Substack, and get more sharp coverage of the world's game at TheFootballWeekend.com ↗️ Hosted on Acast.

As a beer enthusiast, bottle shops have always played an important role in my life. They were there when I first got into beer in a big way, supplying me with hard to find bottles imported from the United States, or new releases from some of the most exciting new breweries in the UK. It was through them that I also met some of my most valued friends and peers, including Jen Ferguson and Glenn Williams of South London's Hop Burns and Black, who gave me one of my first breaks as a beer writer with a monthly column published on their website. When we launched Pellicle in 2019, they were there to sponsor us for our first two years. Looking back, we probably wouldn't have made it through those first 24 months without their support. Then there's Phill and Steph Palgrave-Elliott of Caps and Taps in Tufnell Park. Not only did they give me my first ever gig as a freelance photographer, but like Jen and Glenn they became wonderful pals, and are also long time supporters of the magazine. It's through both of their shops that I gleaned a deep perspective of how important bottle shops once were within the beer ecosystem. Here is where you came when you wanted to support local and independent, or when you wanted to find the latest fussed-over cans, or simply something delicious from a brewery you were yet to discover. But things have changed a lot since those early days of craft beer—the early 2010s when everything felt shiny and new. Breweries came and went, some sold out, some focused on shifting units in national supermarket chains, and—after the pandemic—most of them started shipping direct to their customers. The role of the bottle shop shouldn't have changed, but the industry changed around them, forcing them to pivot and adapt. Some became bars, some focused on online retail, others simply weren't able to compete, and closed their doors forever.Without them, however, we probably would have the vibrant selection of independent breweries we're blessed with today. In this episode of The Pellicle Podcast I'm joined by the owners of three different UK bottleshops: Krishan Rajput of Stirchley Wines in Birmingham, Sam Parker of Keg Cask and Bottle in Prestwich, Manchester, plus Rosie and Greg Start, who run R&G's Beer Vault in both Macclesfield and Congleton. Together we chew through the last few years in beer, and discuss the importance of bottle shops. This episode was recorded in front of a live audience at the 2025 Salford Beer Festival. Huge thanks to organiser Jim Cullen for inviting us down to host this chat. We're able to produce The Pellicle Podcast directly thanks to our Patreon subscribers, and our sponsors Get ‘Er Brewed.

Crystal Palace won at Craven Cottage for the third time this year, which raises the big philosophical question: do we get to keep Fulham now?The boys look ahead to the FA Cup defence with a first-round trip to Macclesfield – a new ground for many of the travelling faithful – and with four all-Premier League ties, we can't help but ask: what's stopping us from doing it all again in 2026?There's plenty off the pitch too: breaking ground on the new stand in January, the prospect of buying another club and forming a MCO and Glasner potentially hinting at a new contract.All that and much more on this week's episode of Winging It.

Lando Steezy (Leo Smith) has one of the rawest and most inspiring stories we've ever had on The Ride Companion. From growing up homeless, losing family members, watching friends fall into crime and addiction and nearly going down the same path himself, to discovering BMX and eventually becoming one of the most recognisable and influential riders in UK mountain biking, his journey is unreal. In this episode, Lando opens up about his turbulent childhood in Macclesfield, the moment that changed his life at 14, the friends he lost along the way, and how riding became his escape and ultimately his purpose. He talks about the first viral TikTok that blew up overnight, nearly turning down an Anthill Films shoot because he didn't know who they were, and how his partner pushed him back onto social media when he'd lost the love. We dig into representation in MTB, the crossover between wheelie culture and mountain biking, his creative work outside of riding, the grief and anxiety he's learned to manage, and why gravel bikes have become such a big part of his life. This is one of the most honest and powerful conversations we've recorded and we're massively grateful to Lando for being so open. We hope you enjoy the episode.   The Ride Companion Christmas Ride at BikePark Wales!

From Cambridge to Cowboy Suits: Kellye's Story of ReinventionAfter 20 years as a physicist, Kellye left her career in science to follow a completely different path — one guided by creativity, craftsmanship, and courage.From building cancer research sensors at Cambridge to hand-stitching rhinestone suits for country icons in Nashville, Kellye's story is a masterclass in daring to start again when the life you built no longer fits.In this episode, we talk about identity, creativity, and the uncomfortable—but liberating—truth about change.⏱️ Timestamps0:00 – 04:00 | From Texas Farm to Physics Prodigy Kellye shares her childhood on a working farm in Texas, where fixing things and understanding how machines worked first sparked her curiosity — the early signs of both a scientist and a maker.04:00 – 10:00 | Cambridge and the World of Academia How Kellye was recruited into university at just 16, worked her way to Cambridge, and built a 20-year career in physics researching cancer sensors — all while quietly craving something more creative.10:00 – 16:00 | When Success Doesn't Feel Like Success The moment she realised academia's version of “making it” wasn't hers — and what happens when your dream job stops feeling like a dream.16:00 – 23:00 | The Pivot: From Labs to Leather & Lace Why Kellye and her husband quit their jobs to start a furniture business, and how that side-step opened the door to her lifelong love of sewing, tailoring, and Western wear.23:00 – 33:00 | Saving a Dying Craft Kellye dives into her obsession with vintage embroidery machines — how she tracked, restored, and mastered 100-year-old equipment to keep a lost art alive.33:00 – 41:00 | From Savile Row to Nashville How a leap of faith (and a lot of self-belief) led Kellye from a tailoring course in Macclesfield to Nashville, where her first project was sewing a suit for Johnny Cash's son.41:00 – 50:00 | The Art of Storytelling Through Stitching How she now creates bespoke, hand-embroidered suits that carry her clients' stories, and why every stitch is a piece of living history.50:00 – 59:00 | Reinvention, Ego Death & The Artist's Way What it really feels like to walk away from an identity that once defined you — and how Kellye rebuilt her life and confidence through creative discipline, journaling, and community.59:00 – End | Finding Your People & Following the Pull The importance of surrounding yourself with people who “get it,” and the power of community when you choose the road less travelled.
