    7. Fixing… UEFA
    2026/09/28
    This week Dan and James take aim at one of football’s biggest governing bodies: UEFA. And, naturally, we’re asking the important question — is UEFA secretly an evil organisation plotting the downfall of football? From cramming the football calendar with increasingly glorified international friendlies to constantly finding new ways to give the richest clubs even more money, Dan and James investigate whether UEFA is actually making football better… or making it harder to enjoy. Is there simply too much football? Are the same clubs being allowed to get richer and richer? And if UEFA really does have a secret plan to ruin the game, how exactly do we fix it? It’s time to fix UEFA, alright?! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    6. Fixing… Italian Football
    2026/09/21
    This week Dan and James head to Italy to fix Serie A — once the undisputed home of some of the best footballers, biggest clubs and most iconic teams in world football. So what went wrong? How did Italy go from having the league everyone wanted to watch to playing catch-up with the Premier League and Europe’s other big leagues? And, more importantly, what needs to change to get Serie A back where it belongs? From outdated stadiums and falling behind financially to an increasingly worrying reliance on Scottish players, Dan and James try to work out how Italian football lost its way — and what it needs to do to find it again. It’s time to fix Serie A. Alright?! #seriea #italy #football #juventus #milan #sansiro #roma Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    5. Fixing… Premier League Nostalgia
    2026/09/14
    This week, Dan and James tackle one of English football’s BIGGEST debates: was the Premier League really better back in the day, or are we just looking through nostalgia-tinted glasses? We head back to the ’90s and early 2000s to ask: was that truly ‘peak Premier League’ — better football, classier players and iconic kits — or is the modern game more competitive than ever?

    4. Fixing… Premature Predictulations
    2026/09/07
    The season has barely started, but apparently we already know everything. Dan and James take aim at the football world’s obsession with premature predictions — who’s winning the league, who’s getting top four, who’s getting relegated and, somehow, which managers are getting sacked before September is even over. A few games in and everyone suddenly thinks they’re Mystic Meg. But how useful are these predictions when there are still 30-odd games to play? It’s time to fix football’s obsession with calling it far too early. Alright?! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    3. Fixing… Transfer Market Madness
    2026/08/31
    The transfer market has officially lost the plot. Dan and James try to make sense of the endless rumours, “exclusive” updates and increasingly creative versions of the truth. With journalists, agents, clubs and fans all playing their part in spreading stories, it’s at risk of becoming more dramatic than the football itself! Is transfer news journalism, guesswork, or just everyone making stuff up and hoping nobody notices? It’s time to fix the transfer market madness.

    2. Fixing… The ‘Unprecedented Number of New Rules’
    2026/08/30
    This week, Dan and James take a look at the FA’s unprecedented number of new laws, guidelines and generally confusing attempts to fix football. From more VAR to substitutions, time-wasting to whatever else has been deemed a crisis. Are these changes actually making the game better — or are they just making football harder to understand and referee? It’s time to fix the rules that are supposedly fixing the rules, alright?! #football #premierleague #var #fa Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    1. Fixing… Shameless Footballers
    2026/08/17
    Season 4 is here, and with Ces nowhere to be seen, Dan and James have wasted no time seizing complete control. Whether Ces’ absence turns out to be a blessing or a disaster remains to be seen, but for now the new regime is getting straight to work by trying to fix football’s most shameless players. From badge-kissing heroes to agents leaking transfer rumours and players suddenly discovering they’ve “always dreamed” of playing somewhere else, we’re asking whether there’s anything wrong with being a mercenary — or whether the real problem is pretending you’re anything but one. Isak, Romero and plenty more are in the firing line as Season 4 gets underway, alright?! #footballers #shame #mercenaries Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
