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.

We hear from Dr Paula Bradbury - who's a senior research fellow at University of East London. Paula has spent last 2 decades working in online harms, specialising in adolescent behaviour.

The fallout continues from the horrific crash on the M9 motorway two Sundays ago. Three sisters – Niamh Kinsella, Alma Kinsella, Ella Hendricken, and a seven-year-old boy – remain in hospital. Five young men – Jeremy O'Brien, Alex McCarthy, Joe Carthy, Kamil Pustkowski, and Jack Kennedy - lost their lives. The incident captured the attention and emotions of the nation. Concern, alarm, fear, outrage – all have been thoroughly expressed in recent days. Now, as the five teenage boys are laid to rest, a similar incident in England has provoked fresh anxiety, after a wrong-way car crash near Middlesbrough in the early hours of Saturday morning left seven people dead, including two police officers. On this episode of The Indo Daily, host Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Irish Independent journalist Conor Feehan to look at the latest from the M9 crash, and by Irish Independent features writer Kim Bielenberg to examine the scourge of joyriding in society over the years.

Seven people lost their lives in the early hours of Saturday 22 August 2026 when a Volkswagen Passat travelling the wrong way along the A66 at South Bank, near Middlesbrough, collided head-on with a marked Cleveland Police armed response vehicle.Among those who died were Cleveland Police officers PC Matthew Blades, 37, and PC Tom Clough, 38, along with the five occupants of the Passat.In this episode, former detectives Tom Wood and Simon McLean examine what is currently known about the tragedy while recognising that the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the collision is still at an early stage.Tom explains how police pursuits are controlled, why a pursuit can be abandoned when the danger becomes too great, and the specialist training required to drive police vehicles at high speed.Simon and Tom also reflect on incidents from their own police careers which brought home the risks faced by officers on the road.Simon recalls the 1994 death of Strathclyde Police officer PC Stuart Simpson, who was killed when his police vehicle was struck head-on by a car travelling the wrong way on the M8.Tom remembers losing two traffic officers while he was an acting divisional commander in West Lothian — and the devastating experience of personally going to the home of one of the officers to tell his wife that her husband had died.The conversation also examines:how police vehicle pursuits are managed and terminated;the highly specialised training of police traffic drivers;the role of Armed Response Vehicles in British policing;why most British police officers continue to patrol without firearms;the impact that the death of colleagues can have on a close-knit police force;and the support needed by officers and other emergency workers who attend traumatic scenes.The circumstances leading to the A66 collision are being investigated by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC). Tom and Simon therefore distinguish between what is known and the questions that remain unanswered.00:00 — Cold Open00:50 — The A66 tragedy: seven people killed02:43 — How police pursuits are controlled and called off06:36 — What we know about the A66 collision08:41 — Simon remembers PC Stuart Simpson and the 1994 M8 tragedy10:35 — Tom recalls losing two traffic officers in West Lothian15:41 — How road policing departments operate17:28 — The specialist training of high-speed police drivers20:47 — What is an Armed Response Vehicle?25:04 — Why most British police officers remain unarmed25:52 — The unanswered social-media question26:37 — Closing thoughtsCrime Time Inc. — Real cases.

Forced to play almost the entire second half a man down after Kevin Danso was controversially sent off just moments after his introduction, we were indebted to Antonin Kinsky for a handful of incredible saves as we hung in there in front of more than 80,000 fans at the Accor Stadium on Australia's east coast. We still carried a threat, Rio Kyerematen cracking a superb effort against the crossbar, but just as we seemed destined for a second penalty shootout in the space of four days, substitute Jamie Donley hit the post and Richarlison was on hand to slide home the rebound, making it a memorable conclusion to our trip Down Under for fans, players and staff alike. The game also saw Sandro Tonali net his first-ever goal in Spurs colours under Roberto De Zerbi. We also wrapped up the latest transfer news as we discussed whether Cody Gakpo is the Bomba, which Roberto De Zerbi is referring too, we debate the future's of both Cristian Romero, who De Zerbi says there will be a plan in place for his return to London, and whether Richarlison will stay at the club amid fresh doubt cast over his future. Mikey Moore is also understood to be subject to potential interest from Middlesbrough meanwhile Pape Matar Sarr is being admired by Unai Emery, as Roberto De Zerbi's squad starts to take shape ahead of the new season.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and Canadian Premier League chat. The Whitecaps finally got back to MLS action this past week with a tough two-game road trip that saw them head home to Vancouver with just a solitary point from games against FC Cincinnati and Minnesota United. We look at the good, the bad, and the ugly coming out of those two matches, with very little in the first category but a lot of concern in the other two. Adding to that concern are more injury woes, no new signings seeming imminent, and the confirmed departed of key midfield piece Sebastian Berhalter to Middlesbrough. We also look at Thomas Müller lighting up the MLS All Star Game activities, MLS discussing much-needed changes to their roster rules and regulations, and round-up the weekend's action in the CPL. All of this plus a little bit more Whitecaps stadium chat, while music-wise, we've three C86 songs for you with tracks from Stitched-back Foot Airman, The Jasmine Minks, and The Chesterfields, and we have another song from a footballer in Wavelength. Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode: 01.23: Intro - Island time 15.40: Whitecaps take just one point in frustrating two-game road trip 50.50: Whitecaps have big hole to fill as Berhalter sold to Boro 77.09: Whitecaps and Lions both looking to buy BC Place now? 87.45: Thomas Müller shines at MLS All-Star Game shooting challenge 94.35: MLS owners considering big changes to roster rules and regulations 109.15: CPL round-up - Vancouver FC are in the playoff places 124.00: Wavelength - Andy Cole - Outstanding

Chris Wittyngham, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola discuss the uncertainty surrounding Mauricio Pochettino's future as USMNT head coach and what it could mean for U.S. Soccer. Was the investment in Pochettino worth it, and who are the leading candidates to replace him? Plus, the crew debates Sebastian Berhalter's reported move to Middlesbrough, discusses the ideal next step for Folarin Balogun, and heaps praise on MLS' impressive 2026 rookie class.Call It What You Want is available for free on the Audacy app as well as Apple Podcasts, Spotify and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

The full crew are back for the first time this summer to wrap up their thoughts on the World Cup and revisit the treatment by the media and other fans of Jordan Pickford. They offer their thoughts on the interest in Ndiaye from Al-Hilal, the departure of Idrissa Gana Gueye and Everton's transfer strategy which is going to be key over the last month or so of the window with some key positions to fill.Finally, "Chat EFC" takes us back to Walter Smith's reign and a trip to Middlesbrough in September 2000. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jason is joined by Jonathan Tannenwald to talk about Major League Soccer's attempts to capture new soccer fans after the explosion of soccer interest around the World Cup, Sebastian Berhalter's move to the Middlesbrough of the English Championship, and the USMNT head coaching job—as in whether Pochettino coming back is a good idea, how the people who paid Poch's salary are impacted the decisions at US Soccer, and who might be a decent replacement for the Argentine if he doesn't come back.

The Last Word On Spurs panel return to review our first club friendly of the upcoming campaign as Mateus Fernandes took just three minutes to light the touch paper of his Spurs career and our pre-season preparations as we beat MK Dons 1-0 at Hotspur Way on Wednesday evening. Lining up alongside fellow new arrival Sandro Tonali and Conor Gallagher in midfield, our summer capture from West Ham made his mark in superb style on his first appearance in Lilywhite. Mathys Tel swung in a corner, goalkeeper Craig MacGillivray punched high and clear only for Fernandes to thunder back a volley that pinged home off the inside of the post. It was a goal worthy of winning any game - in this case, it was enough to beat a well-organised, competitive MK side. The players will now fly out to Auckland, New Zealand for the the first part of our pre-season tour, taking on Auckland at Eden Park in the early hours of Sunday morning (4am UK). We also reflect on the sale of Will Lankshear to Middlesbrough, with Cristian Romero, Alfie Dorrington and Ashley Phillips expected to also leave the Club and whether our youngsters see a genuine pathway to the first-team.We also debate the news that James Maddison is set to be named the Captain of Tottenham Hotspur.

Fresh off their 11-city Breakaway Tour, Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros return to the studio to process the post-World Cup soccer landscape. Christian kicks off the episode with an unbelievable travel horror story about a chaotic flight delay from Miami to Dallas involving an intoxicated passenger, an unruly accusation, and an emergency flight attendant swap. The hosts then dive into a blueprint for the future, detailing radical ways to overhaul US Soccer and turn the USMNT into legitimate contenders for the 2030 World Cup—from ending pay-to-play under Arsène Wenger and merging CONCACAF with CONMEBOL to creating a 50-state "States Cup" tournament. Next, the guys welcome USMNT midfielder Tyler Adams for an exclusive, wide-ranging interview. Tyler breaks his silence on the team's World Cup exit against Belgium, setting the record straight on what really went down in camp when Folarin Balogun's red card suspension was rescinded 20 hours before kickoff. He reflects on Mauricio Pochettino's front-foot tactical philosophy, reveals why Pochettino declaring he "wished he was American" after singing Country Roads was his favorite team memory, and details his ongoing community mini-pitch initiative with Allstate. Finally, the hosts analyze the summer transfer window frenzy and critique the latest kit drops across world football. They break down major moves including Morgan Rogers' £117M transfer to Chelsea, Anthony Gordon joining Barcelona, Robert Lewandowski signing with the Chicago Fire, and Casemiro's move to Inter Miami amid LA Galaxy discovery-rights drama. They close out the show with a look at Manchester City and Real Madrid's roster overhauls, Sebastian Berhalter's transfer to Middlesbrough, and a fashion breakdown of the best and worst jerseys of the season.   Timestamps: (00:00) — Post-Tour Return & Christian's Wild Flight Delay Story (12:29) — 10 Ways to Fix the USMNT & Win the 2030 World Cup (41:46) — Tyler Adams Exclusive: Balogun Red Card Drama, Poch's Impact & Belgium Defeat (51:49) — Blockbuster Transfers: Morgan Rogers to Chelsea & Anthony Gordon to Barça (01:01:41) — MLS Transfer Chaos: Casemiro, Lewandowski & Sebastian Berhalter (01:13:20) — European Giants Overhaul: Man City's Rebuild & Real Madrid's Free Transfers (01:20:26) — Kit Reviews: Best & Worst Jersey Drops of the Season Subscribe to The Cooligans on your favorite podcast app:

A 2023 book collects accounts of shapeshifting strangers, reptilian visitors, and living doubles, arguing the aliens John Carpenter put on screen may have been walking among us all along.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/TheyLiveREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/ycktrfu5FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Have you ever felt like something was off about someone you met? What if the truth was more bizarre than you could imagine - that aliens walk secretly among us, perfectly disguised? (Mimic In The Mirror) *** The short story “Eight O'Clock In The Morning” by Ray Nelson – the inspiration for the movie “They Live!” *** Left-handedness: once a mark of the devil, now a unique trait celebrated across the globe. From the Salem Witch Trials to modern-day challenges with spiral notebooks, left-handers have been forced to navigate a world designed for righties, despite the historical stigmas, surprising advantages, and the evolving recognition of left-handers in combat, culture, and commerce. (Left-Handers Are In League With The Devil) *** In the shadow of Switzerland's majestic Eiger mountain, 29-year-old Aidan Roche vanished without a trace during a solo hiking trip. Despite an unlocked camper-van and one last eerie messages sent from the trail, his disappearance remained shrouded in mystery. Months later, a grim discovery brought more questions than answers. (The Disappearance of Aidan Roche) *** In the summer of 1948, a series of inexplicable fires ravaged the Willey farm near Macomb, Illinois, destroying the family's home and barns. Despite the efforts of local authorities and the U.S. Air Force, no logical explanation could be found for the hundreds of mysterious blazes that seemed to start spontaneously. At the center of this baffling case was 13-year-old Wanet McNeil, whose alleged confession to arson left many unconvinced. Was Wanet truly responsible? Could she have been starting the fires with her mind? (The Macomb Firestarter) *** In 1991, 63-year-old Vasile Gorgos left his home in Romania to visit a cattle market and never returned, leaving his family to believe he had met a tragic fate. But 30 years later, Vasile shocked everyone when he mysteriously reappeared, wearing the same clothes as the day he vanished and carrying an unused train ticket from 1991 in his pocket. With no memory of where he'd been for three decades, Vasile's strange case has left people wondering if his disappearance could be tied to supernatural phenomena like portals, alien abduction, or shifts in time and space itself.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April 30, 2024In this episode of Weird Darkness, listeners move through alien impostors, the long history of left-handed stigma, a hiker who vanished in the Swiss Alps, a farm besieged by fires no one could explain, and a Romanian cattle trader who came home after thirty years.It opens with the mimics. Ray Nelson's 1963 story "Eight O'Clock in the Morning" — the basis for John Carpenter's 1988 film "They Live" — imagined reptilian aliens ruling Earth from behind human faces, and the 2023 book "Mimics: The Others Among Us" argues that scenario may not be fiction. The book collects accounts like that of Brenda Butler, co-author of a book on the Rendlesham Forest UFO incident, who in 1984 met a tall, blue-eyed man calling himself David Daniels and claiming to be from the Pleiades star cluster, then watched his skin turn scaly and reptilian before he shifted back to human. It recounts author Chris Holly's memory of a strikingly similar white-haired, blue-eyed family she later connected to the extraterrestrial "Tall Whites," alongside cases of living ghosts, doppelgangers, and a 1970s poltergeist blamed on a mimic wearing a teenage girl's face.From there the episode traces why left-handedness was treated as sinister for centuries. During the Salem Witch Trials, favoring the left hand could bring an accusation of witchcraft, and as late as the 1970s schools still forced left-handed children to write with their right. The Book of Matthew places the righteous on the right and the cursed on the left, the Zulu scalded children's left hands to stop their use, and communities along the Niger River tied left-handed cooking to witchcraft — while the ancient Celts prized left-handed warriors, Rome read left-side omens as favorable, and the Inca chief Lloque Yupanqui was admired for his left-handedness. The stigma softened by the late 1960s, when William Gruby opened Anything Left-Handed, Ltd. to sell scissors, kitchen tools, and watches built for lefties.Next comes the disappearance of Aidan Roche, a 29-year-old chemical engineer from Middlesbrough who vanished on June 22nd, 2023, while hiking the Eiger Trail in Switzerland's Bernese Oberland. His campervan sat unlocked and abandoned near the trailhead with everything inside intact, and his final messages placed him two hours from Grindelwald in clear weather on a well-traveled path. Swiss police, mountain rescue teams, dogs, and drones searched for five days, and his brothers Connor and Niall raised over £30,000 for helicopter surveillance and screen advertisements in twenty-four locations, yet found nothing until September 24th, 2023, when Aidan's body was discovered near the trail with the cause of death still unreleased.The episode then settles on the Willey farm outside Macomb, Illinois, where hundreds of fires broke out in the summer of 1948. They started on August 7th as small brown spots that appeared on the living room wallpaper, spread, smoldered, and burst into flame — more than 200 of them in one week, igniting curtains, an ironing board, and newspapers sealed inside a closed cupboard, often erupting on walls and ceilings while witnesses watched. The blazes consumed the farmhouse on August 14th and both barns soon after, drew over 1,000 spectators on August 22nd, and even brought in the U.S. Air Force, which floated directed radiation from the Russians as a possible cause. Officials declared the case solved on August 30th by pinning it on 13-year-old Wanet McNeil, who confessed to using kitchen matches after hours of questioning despite never being seen holding any; psychiatrist Dr. Sophie Schroeder found her mentally normal, researcher Vincent Gaddis called it poltergeist activity, and Fire Chief Fred Wilson retired still convinced something unexplainable had happened.The episode closes with Vasile Gorgos, a 63-year-old cattle trader from Bacău, Romania, who left for a market in 1991 and disappeared for three decades. His wife reported him missing, an extensive police search turned up no trace, and his family eventually held a ceremony and accepted that he was dead. On a Sunday afternoon in August 2021, a car pulled up outside his old house and drove off before anyone could read the plate, leaving behind a 93-year-old Vasile in the same clothes he had worn in 1991, carrying an unused train ticket from that year and an old identity card listing an address in another part of Romania.

This week, the NK News Podcast presents a special episode on one of the most unlikely stories in World Cup history: North Korea's extraordinary run at the 1966 tournament and the English town that embraced the team as its own. Sixty years after the DPRK stunned Italy and reached the quarterfinals, this episode revisits how a little-known team from a country Britain did not recognize became the emotional heart of Middlesbrough's World Cup summer. Through archival sound, documentary clips and interviews with Nicholas Bonner, Daniel Gordon and Tosh Warwick, the episode traces North Korea's road to England, the Cold War anxieties surrounding its arrival, the players' meticulous preparation and the small human encounters that transformed suspicion into affection. This special episode is based on Shreyas Reddy's two-part feature series for NK News, Part 1 of which can be found here, and Part 2, here.  Special thanks to Nicholas Bonner and Daniel Gordon for allowing us to use soundbites from “The Game of Their Lives” and to Joon Ha Park for providing the dubbed Korean soundbites. About the podcast: The North Korea News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Alannah Hill exclusively for NK News, covering all things DPRK — from news to extended interviews with leading experts and analysts in the field, along with insight from our very own journalists.
