AYNE 819 - Goal/Own Goal

About this episode

The episode discusses various issues in football, including managerial politics, financial hype, and the state of women's football.

This week’s Goal Own Goal swings from Roland Garros heat exhaustion and prize-money grumbling to the usual grand tour of football’s modern absurdities: Celtic’s managerial politics, Arsenal’s latest lesson in defending like their lives depend on it, PSG’s triumph, women’s football still waiting for the promised mass audience, and FIFA’s relentless mission to turn the World Cup into a luxury product for people who don’t actually enjoy football. Grant and Roger do what they do best here — tear into the financial hype, skewer the ego-driven suits, and remind everyone that the game still works best when it stays messy, tribal, and gloriously uninterested in being a “platform."
