About this episode

On this week’s episode of the Joy of Football Podcast, Neil and Martin have have a new segment “Is This A Fantasy“, where they discuss Murderball, and how it’s used in football training sessions. We also have our usual “Three of the Best” discussing standout players (with this week including retiring official Darren Cann), there’s VOICE OF PASSION where Neil rants about atmosphere at games, Martin’s Letter from the Gantry is all about AFC Bournemouth, and we compare previous wingers to the one and only Mohamed Salah.
