  Sound of Football Podcast 670 - Guilty

  Sep 29, 2026—

  Manchester City have been found guilty of all Premier League charges against them, in what could be the biggest sporting fraud ever. So what happens now? This week we look at the possible consequences of years of lies from those in charge of the club. Titles stripped? Owners removed? Club dissolved? Nothing appears to be off the table but could political pressure save City from the worst of the possible punishments? This recording was made on Monday evening, before the Premier League statement on City’s guilt. check out the Show Notes on our blog . --> pods.sofpodcast.com/sofpodcast_670.mp3

  Sound of Football Podcast 669 - The mysterious world of offside

  Sep 15, 2026—

  We only had to wait four games before the newly rebranded PGMOL, Pro Ref, issued its first apology, this time for a huge VAR fail in the Manchester derby. The incident, Haaland's winning goal, was correctly called offside by the assistant referee at the time but that decision was overturned after a series of technologies assessed every element of the play. Except, that is, the laws of the game. Also this week, Terry and Jan look forward to their teams’, Crystal Palace and Sunderland, first ever games in the Europa League this week.
