Football Between The Lines. Another podcast about the beautiful game. Brought to you by Dan Cook of the infamous HLTCO twitter account, and Flav Batemen of The Fighting Cock podcast and James and Flav for Now... Football Between The Lines is a twice weekly podcast, blending well-rounded football opinion with emotional and somewhat reactionary punchiness. The well rounded balanced opinion versus the emotional somewhat reactionary opinion. You don’t need another football podcast in your life, but you should listen to Football Between The Lines anyway. Twice weekly reaction podcast to biggest talking points that week through the season - and if something big breaks, we’ll be all over it as well. Dan is a renowned broadcaster, and the owner of one of football’s most well known twitter accounts, HLTCO. Stan Collymore still hates his guts. Flav is known mostly for presenting the best Spurs podcast out there.... The Fighting Cock. Football Between T

We talk through the bizarre culture around England squad announcements, why everything gets leaked before a ball is kicked, and whether Thomas Tuchel’s strange selections might actually make sense tactically. We also get
This episode we're talking about everything football has become and everything it still gets right. Adam Wharton’s mum becomes an away-end icon, Manchester City can’t fill their end in an FA Cup final, Liverpool fans tur
We get into Southampton’s bizarre spying row, the possible fallout for the play-offs and whether one bloke filming behind a tree is worth a £100m risk. There’s also VAR chaos in Scotland, footballers and loyalty, Jamie V
We’re back to talk chaos in the National League, West Ham nearly giving Spurs a favour, the VAR call that may have changed everything, and the strange emotional gymnastics of needing Arsenal to win but still feeling sick
Palace are one game from a European final, Forest get absolutely pumped by Villa, and somehow the Premier League has created a scenario where teams might actually benefit from losing football matches. Completely normal s
We’re back after a bit of a break and there’s a lot to get through. We talk Spurs finally turning up away at Villa and what’s changed under De Zerbi, while Palace fans start dreaming about a European final after a ridicu
We start with Spurs winning a game but somehow still end up asking what’s actually going on, after yet another serious injury adds to a worrying pattern. From there it spirals into a wider chat about football itself. Pla
We start with the chaos at Chelsea after Liam Rosenior’s exit and ask who is really to blame. We get into the financial mess, the ownership model, the sporting directors, the long contracts, and why none of it seems to p
Dan’s back from Florence and feeling human again, so naturally we get into European away days, football getting in the way of drinking, and why Spurs are absolutely definitely probably staying up. We also chat Arsenal an
We get into a mad weekend of football, from Spurs losing again at Sunderland and edging closer to relegation, to Arsenal wobbling under pressure and Man City suddenly looking like Man City again. There’s chat about Romer
We start with Palace battering Fiorentina and somehow end up in a full blown existential chat about football. Glasner’s leaving, VAR’s ruining everything, PSG remind us what the game can be, and we question why clubs kee
Dan’s back from Lake Garda and we somehow go from holidays and football burnout to Chelsea players chatting too freely on international duty, Spurs handing Roberto De Zerbi the keys, and whether fans really care about th

We start with the most unexpected question possible: what song would we want played at our funeral? From there it spirals nicely into Tottenham’s latest collapse, Palace’s European push, the sack race, Dougie Freedman, b
This week we spiral through football tattoos, cursed fan behaviour and the strange clarity that comes with a proper relegation scrap. We chat Spurs showing signs of life, the fan-planned coach welcome before Sunday, Chel
We’re back after missing Thursday and, for once, it doesn’t feel like total despair. A draw at Anfield has somehow shifted the mood, even if the table barely has. We get into Spurs finally showing some fight, whether Igo
We start with Palace beating Spurs and what that game revealed about just how bad things have got. From there it turns into a proper spiral through relegation fears, whether the Championship might actually reset Tottenha
We get into Dr Tottenham vs Charity FC, whether anyone actually wants it (players, managers, us), and why football feels like it’s simultaneously life-or-death and deeply stupid. There’s Arsenal discourse, set-piece moan
