Manchester City have been found guilty of serious breaches of Premier League financial rules — and Sam Allardyce has his say on what happens next.On this episode of No Tippy Tappy Football, Sam reacts to the independent commission's findings covering nine seasons between 2009/10 and 2017/18, including the use of “sham” commercial arrangements which the commission said artificially inflated Manchester City's revenue and reduced reported costs by more than £900 million. City deny wrongdoing and intend to appeal the findings.Sam discusses just how serious the situation is, whether Manchester City can escape the consequences, what punishment they could face and whether their trophies should be taken away.We also debate where Manchester City's situation sits alongside previous football scandals, including Juventus and Southampton, whether City fans should have sympathy, whether the club could still be in the Premier League next season and, most importantly, just how far this punishment could go.Could Manchester City end up outside the Premier League? Could the current squad stay together? And would Sam Allardyce really consider taking the job if City were playing in League Two?Then we turn our attention to England.Sam and Will review England's games against Spain and Czechia, discuss Trent Alexander-Arnold's return to the squad, Anthony Gordon's comments about his footballing IQ and what Thomas Tuchel needs to achieve to be considered a success with England.Sam also explains whether he believes Tuchel can be the man to finally deliver success with England._Make sure you Like, Comment & Subscribe & turn on notifications so you know when a new episode drops.

International football returns for the first time since the World Cup and England manager Thomas Tuchel isn't sure he can coach his players to play possession football - and some of his players seem to agree. Is that what the FA get for five million a year, a manager who can't coach? Or is it more complicated than that? While England go through their usual bout of soul searching German football hopes that Jurgen Klopp can do for them what he did for Liverpool and return them to their former glory. And how will Zinedine Zidane harness the immense talent on offer to the French national teamPlus, five game into the Premier League what have we learnt?

Sky Sports' Peter Smith is joined by Sky Sports News football correspondent Rob Dorsett at St George's Park to assess Thomas Tuchel's England ahead of their Nations League opener with Spain at Wembley on Saturday. Was England's World Cup showing at the World Cup a foundation for future success or a reflection of deeper problems within the set-up which will make that trophy wait go on? Three months on from the semi-final loss to Argentina, they reflect on Anthony Gordon's insightful comments on the situation, weigh up where players such as Kobbie Mainoo and Trent Alexander-Arnold stand in Tuchel's thinking, and pick out some exciting young players who could refresh and rejuvenate the group for the challenges ahead. -•For all the latest football news, head to www.skysports.com/football•For advertising opportunities email: skysportspodcasts@sky.uk

Five games, five without defeat, and somehow it feels flat. Leeds ground out a goalless draw with Palace to stay unbeaten, but this was nothing like the Newcastle night. Two shots on target. A Palace goal chalked off by VAR on 53. And a manager who said his side were "a bit too slow in the head at times." In this episode we unpack why Leeds were so blunt. Were Palace just well organised, or was this an off day? We get into Calvert-Lewin fed on scraps, Bogle's best game of the season, and Anton Stach looking nothing like last year. Plus the stat that reframes it: Leeds shaded the xG, 1.36 to 0.74. We go through Farke's presser: the set piece gripe, the admission Leeds "didn't manage to keep the fire burning inside the stadium", and an unchanged XI for a third straight game. Then the internationals: Calvert-Lewin and Trafford in Tuchel's England squad, Bogle and Justin snubbed again, Stach in Klopp's 44-man Germany squad. Darragh asks if this break comes at the worst possible time. Quick fire: Milner telling Scholes and Butt he'd never have joined Man United. Ampadu's long throw as a weapon. Arteta admitting Arsenal were in trouble "from the first throw-in" at Brighton. And we want you at the Man United game. Then it's the Emirates on 10 October. Arsenal were taken apart 3-0 at Brighton and Saliba is out until November, but they haven't lost to Leeds in 16 meetings since 2003. Is there a way in? Up the Whites.

Chelsea's defending against Hull City wasn't just bad — it was schoolboy stuff, the kind you'd bench a nine-year-old for. A 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge that should've been a rout turns into another damning day for Xabi Alonso's back line. Morgan Rogers' early strike had Chelsea cruising, but Jorrel Hato's mistimed header and a helpless Malo Gusto at right-back gifted Mohamed Belloumi two goals inside six minutes. João Pedro's finish off a Cole Palmer assist rescues a point, but the story is Chelsea sitting bottom of the league for shots conceded — and a Reece James proposal that could fix it. Plus: the Frank Lampard-to-Thomas Tuchel parallel, why Jordan Henderson might be the midfield answer, and the corner routine that's biting Chelsea from both ends. — ★ ★ — Chapters 0:00 Final score reaction — "extremely disappointing"1:00 Morgan Rogers opens the scoring2:00 Schoolboy defending — Hato and the first equaliser3:00 Six minutes later — Belloumi's second6:30 Palmer to Pedro — Chelsea level it up9:00 Reece James's legs and the defensive lapses16:00 Chris: Lampard-to-Tuchel and the fix that worked before23:30 The Reece James solution — back to right-back27:00 Why Jordan Henderson could start soon32:00 Set pieces — the corner routine cutting both ways — ★ ★ — Meet the HostsChris Sheen and Joe Kevin are lifelong Chelsea fans who've been going to Stamford Bridge for over 30 years.What started as swapping post-match voicenotes has grown into a fan pod capturing the highs, the lows, and everything in between from Gate 13 of the Matthew Harding Stand. — ★ ★ — The 1905 PodcastChelsea FC Founded: 1905European Champions: 19/05
On this week's episode of the Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids and Chris are joined by England, Nottingham Forest and Manchester City legend Stuart Pearce — aka Psycho — for a proper trip down memory lane.Stuart opens up about his remarkable journey from playing non-league football and working as an electrician to becoming a professional footballer, England international and one of the most recognisable defenders of his generation. He tells the story of how a chance encounter with Brian Clough eventually led to his move to Nottingham Forest, and how the famous “Psycho” nickname came about.The lads also get into Stuart's England career, including the highs and lows of Italia '90 and Euro '96, his infamous penalty miss against Germany, and the emotional redemption of scoring from the spot against Spain six years later. Stuart explains why the experience of missing that penalty stayed with him — and how it ultimately changed the way he approached pressure, failure and success.Away from football, there are some brilliant Stuart Pearce stories too, from his love of punk music and a particularly surreal night at a gig in Moscow, to travelling to North Korea and his obsession with seeing as much of the world as possible.And, of course, there's plenty of classic Crouch Podcast chat along the way — including hedge diving, football stickers, Stuart's legendary toughness and some seriously good dressing-room and Cloughy stories.A fascinating conversation with one of English football's great characters.Chumbawamba- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 0:00 – Pete, Sids & Chris are back – plus a huge guest03:30 – Sids with Carlo and Tuchel?!05:30 – Shaniqua's Box returns with a very unusual giveaway07:43 – Stuart Pearce joins the podcast12:00 – Stuart's wild Russia trip & Rise Against gig16:00 – North Korea, travelling the world & hedge diving20:00 – From electrician to professional footballer24:00 – Taking a pay cut to play in the top division28:00 – The Crazy Gang wanted Stuart Pearce32:00 – Brian Clough discovers “Psycho”36:00 – Pearce's tackling, referees & Nobby Solano40:00 – Stuart Pearce's England debut & representing his country44:00 – Italia 90, Euro 96 & England's feel-good factor48:00 – The penalty miss that haunted Stuart Pearce52:00 – Redemption against Spain & fighting for England56:00 – Life after playing & the lessons of failure1:02:00 – Pearce's penalty research & changing England's shootouts1:08:00 – The transfer that could have changed everything1:14:00 – David James up front?!

Red, White & Blues FC | Mudryk Is Back, Infantino Tried to Sell the World CupChelsea have been made whole again. Also, the president of FIFA attempted a legal bribe in broad daylight and it blew up in his face.Big things happening, big people back, old people here, and Infantino is an asshole — that's the episode in one line. Mykhailo Mudryk is finally cleared and back at Chelsea after twenty months away, which sends Daniel into a full state of rapture and Jason into a state of mild concern about it. Then we get into a preseason loss to ten-man Tottenham that neither of us can confirm actually happened, two deals that went official today, and the small matter of FIFA nearly spinning the World Cup off into a private equity vehicle. There's no transfer deep-dive here — that's Thursday, and we've got an announcement about Thursday at the end.Welcome Back, KingMudryk is back for two more years and Daniel is not being ironic about how happy he is — well, mostly not. The man everybody puts their hopes and dreams into, who constantly disappoints us, and whom we love anyway, butterfly tattoos and all. The infuriating part is the timing: the rules changed after he got popped, and if the same result came in today no charge would have been brought at all. He lost twenty months of his career to a process that dragged. So, some house rules going forward — don't leave your drinks unattended, don't take supplements, fire the virtual doctor, become a vegan, get it straight from the source. The training photo of Mudryk and Estêvão together in Hong Kong is Daniel's new favorite Chelsea picture ever, and on the strength of it alone he has decided we're winning the league. Peak Eden Hazard season. Then the Strasbourg loan rumor surfaced and the joy curdled instantly: send Gittens for the reps, Mudryk doesn't need them. Over/under on a red card in his first match remains open.A Loss to Ten-Man Tottenham That May or May Not Have OccurredNeither of us watched it, so neither of us can confirm nor deny. Let Tottenham have it — it's preseason, and God knows they need something. Estêvão scored, other people spent the afternoon trying to take our players out, and the only thing that actually matters is that we came out of Australia without injuries. The pitches on this tour have been rubbish, no Ed Sheeran required this time. Lavia played and did not get hurt, which we're treating as a minor miracle, and Jason would like Estêvão laying healing hands on the entire locker room for the full season. Wednesday's Juventus match is at Kai Tak Sports Park in Hong Kong, and Daniel's faith in a decent surface rests entirely on the theory that the hosts won't want to look bad — unlike whatever repurposed rugby pitch we were playing on in Australia.The Bushwhackers Are Officially Chelsea PlayersDanny Welbeck and Jordan Henderson have both been formally announced, which prompts several minutes of the two of us doing the Bushwhackers arm-swing at each other. Careful, lads, you'll sprain something. The mental image we can't shake is Welbeck and Henderson coming off the bench while Estêvão and Mudryk heckle them from the sideline — Henderson, don't use your arms to break your fall, your bones are brittle. He's going to concede a handball and break his arm doing it. Elsewhere: Geovany Quenda is with the squad now and we're hoping to see his Chelsea debut, two deals went official today with Trevoh Chalobah joining Como and Valentín Barco finally being confirmed as a Chelsea player — a signing we're fairly sure was announced two months ago, and one that even Rory apparently missed, given he quote-tweeted his own World Cup post about what a little shit Barco was to Bellingham to ask whether the guy is a Chelsea player now. One of the foremost Chelsea pundits in the world, everybody.Infantino Tried to Sell Shares in the World CupThe main event. FIFA's plan was to spin the commercial side into a standalone company — FIFA Forward Enterprises, valued around $20 billion — sell shares to private equity, and distribute the proceeds to member federations, with FIFA itself staying a nonprofit handling the sport. Call it what it is: a legal bribe. Infantino's pitch was effectively “vote no and you get $2.7 billion, vote yes and you get ten,” plus a rumor he'd personally clear about $30 million if it went through. The man ran on transparency and, to be fair, he's being extremely transparent about the bribery. What's new isn't the corruption — we know FIFA, we remember Blatter and the brown envelopes and how Qatar got a World Cup, and we get into how confederations quietly print money reselling allocated tickets at multiples of face value. What's new is the brazenness. CONCACAF and UEFA came out against it, UEFA threatened an outright boycott without mincing words, the plan leaked before it could even be pitched, and by the time we're recording Infantino has scrapped it. Now the question is whether he survives it. He's currently running unopposed ahead of the March 2027 election, and if UEFA and CONCACAF can agree on a single challenger, the math gets very interesting. This is the Super League all over again: fans will tolerate a lot, but not a small group openly centralizing the money and taking the whole pie.What We're Actually Looking Forward ToWe close on the honest question, and both answers come back to the same man. Jason's is Xabi Alonso — the first time since Tuchel was fired that he's been excited to watch a coach cook. After Potter, after Lampard going through the motions, after Pochettino shitting the bed until the last six matches, after Maresca abandoning us for City, this is a manager who can command a locker room and has the résumé to back it. He'd rather have European football, but no Wednesdays and no Thursdays means a low-pressure season, and after four relentlessly negative years the prospect of just watching Chelsea play without the BlueCo drama is its own reward. Daniel's answer is simpler: he's excited to be excited. Quenda and Estêvão, Palmer, João Pedro, Mudryk back in the building, Xabi in charge. Still holes at goalkeeper and in defense, still no idea how a back four is going to work, still question marks about locker-room management. And when Daniel asks how long before it all comes crashing down, Jason gives him three months — because December is coming, and December always comes.One More ThingStarting this Thursday, the transfer episode goes live. 6:15pm-ish on YouTube and X, questions and opinions welcome in the chat.

#1024 | Ed and Daniel pick over the wreckage of England's World Cup, and neither is in a forgiving mood. The charge is that Thomas Tuchel did not just lose the semi-final, he threw it away. From the squad he built for one way of playing, the ball-players left at home, and a midfield of athletes with nobody to control a game, which is why the calls for Kobbie Mainoo only grew louder all tournament. On the match itself, England managed the first 55 minutes well and shut Messi out before Tuchel took off his goalscorer, went to a back five and codified a retreat so complete that England managed two accurate passes in 18 minutes. It's a sacking offense, but the FA, who backed Tuchel on LinkedIn within the hour and tied him to Euro 2028, will do nothing. Then there's Kane's future and the lack of a successor, England's missing identity and the intensity gap with everyone else, and to close, a turn to United, Carrick's project, summer signings, and a pre-season that kicks off against Wrexham in Helsinki. 0:00 Intro 5:29 Tuchel's Tactics and Balance Issues 15:03 Argentina Collapse 26:16 Should Tuchel Be Sacked? 28:33 Euro 2028 and Harry Kane's Future 38:35 England's National Identity 43:55 Manchester United Preview 52:37 Outro If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

The World Cup semifinals are complete and it's PADDLIN' 2, Our lyin' eyes 0. How Spain controlled the match tactically (and got a little lucky with a penalty), how if at all this makes us reconsider this France side, and then on to Argentina-England. Argentina-England. Hoo boy. The first 60 and final 40 minutes of this match were both journeys, and we break it all down, and ask where we would pinpoint England's and Tuchel's key errors. Support the show
The audio version of this episode was delayed due to a technical issue.Adrian Goldberg sits in for Dotun and disucsses England's loss to Argentina with Jen Offord and Tommy Stewart. In this episode of World Cup Daily, we break down the "calamity and catastrophe" of England's loss. From Thomas Tuchel's controversial substitutions and defensive formation to Lionel Messi's late-game masterclass, we explore whether England bottled it or were simply outclassed by a genius. We also dive into the "dark arts" of the game, the impact of injury-laden stars like Saka and Rice, and the structural issues within the Premier League that might be holding the national team back.Join the Brazilian Shirt Name Whatsapp Channel: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbBNgO58PgsAgQXRP32T
Spain may be the best footballing team at the 2026 World Cup. But are they prepared for everything Argentina will bring to the final?Seb White is joined by Dan Harris and football writer Joseph O'Sullivan to preview Spain versus Argentina and examine the aggression, tactical intelligence and psychological warfare behind Lionel Scaloni's world champions.Joseph explains how Argentina disrupted England from the opening minutes, hunted opponents in packs and immediately punished Thomas Tuchel's defensive substitutions.The panel also debates whether Spain's relaxed young team can handle Argentina's intensity, why Lionel Messi is only one part of their threat and whether Lamine Yamal, Rodri and Marc Cucurella can prevent Argentina from turning the final into chaos.They also discuss England's self-inflicted semi-final defeat, the attacking substitutions Tuchel failed to make and whether the World Cup third-place play-off should be scrapped.

Live from Atlanta, Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros deliver an immediate, high-energy live reaction show following Argentina's thrilling 2-1 comeback victory over England in the World Cup semifinal. The hosts launch directly into a scathing critique of England manager Thomas Tuchel, placing 100% of the blame squarely at his feet for executing an incredibly cowardly low-block game plan after Anthony Gordon put the Three Lions up 1-0. They highlight an embarrassing statistic showing that England averaged a meager 12% possession between Gordon's opening goal and Lautaro Martinez's dramatic match-winner. The guys break down the pivotal tactical adjustments and execution blunders that allowed the reigning champions to completely manipulate the second half of play. They analyze Enzo Fernández's spectacular equalizing strike against Jordan Pickford, set up by a composed pass from a slow-walking but deeply calculated Lionel Messi. The tactical breakdown extends to England's fatal defensive lapse in the 92nd minute, where a fresh Ezri Konsa and John Stones were caught completely asleep on the far post, allowing the shorter Lautaro Martinez to secure the victory with an open header. Beyond the action on the pitch, Christian and Alexis read through viral social media reactions from figures like Wayne Rooney, Iker Casillas, and Zito condemning England's hyper-pragmatic approach. They break down Enzo Fernández's standout performance as their "Stock Up" player while labeling Thomas Tuchel's decision-making as total coaching malpractice for "Stock Down". Finally, they react to a breaking medical report regarding Arsenal center-back William Saliba undergoing back surgery before looking ahead to the massive Argentina vs. Spain final matchup and sharing their closing tour details for New York City's Webster Hall.
