The Football Hour

The boys are back for the summer, and back for good. We'll save the apologies for the podcast. But basically Alex & The Football Hour has moved to a live radio show every Tuesday evening 7-8pm on Spectrum Sino which you can listen to online or on DAB in London. Dom shall be returning to the podcast in the very near future. #Football #England #Ranieri #Sanchez #AFC #MCFC #Lacazette #Terry #AVFC #CFC #Insigne #Hazard #Pogba #EFC #SaintEtienne #Rodriguez #RealMadrid #Staam #LUFC #RFC #LFC #Chamberlain #Morata #Bale #MUFC #Mahrez #LCFC #Barcelona

Poor ownership of our football clubs is causing major fractions between fans, clubs, The FA and the Football League. There's a multitude of issues when you analyse this issue. Money, culture, tradition and values are but a few of the talking points we cover on this podcast. It's right that this podcast gets released this week because Leicester City's owners made a big decision which shook football to the core. As well as Leicester City, we discuss Millwall, Blackpool, Blackburn, , Leeds, Fulham, Charlton and many more.

Here at The Football Hour we're big fans of the championship. It's gritty, competitive and it's constantly churning up surprises. Newcastle, Brighton, Huddersfield, Leeds, Reading, Sheffield Wednesday, Fulham, Norwich, PNE and Barnsley are all fighting for 3 promotion places. This podcast is a big one, it's longer than any pod we've ever done before because there's so much to talk about. Is the EFL better than the BPL? Who are the best players in the championship? Who is getting playoff and automatic? And most importantly why does the premier league keep sending their rubbish refs down to the championship? We've got our own rubbish refs, thank you very much. If you're a fan of a team in the football leagues you'll love this. If you're a fan of premier league club, have a listen to this and you might want your club to get relegated.

It's mad how success brings failure and joy is followed so closely by pain. Leicester are experiencing a backlash at the moment, as a country we praised them last season. Slum Dog millionaire story a complete fairytale happened but that dream died when the players forced their title winning manager out of the club. Claudio Ranieri has been knifed in the back but he has left with the respect of the LCFC fans and most football fans around the world. LCFC completely turned their form around on Monday against top opposition in Liverpool and now the conversation turns to who should get Ranieri's old job? It's time The Football Hour gave our opinions on the biggest story in football. #LCFC #EPL #PREMIERLEAGUE #RANIERI #VARDY #SIMPSON #SCHMEICHEL #MORGAN #HODGSON #SNAKE #RADIO #FOOTBALL #SOCCER #BPL #PODCASTS #PODERNFAMILY

The Football Hour was asked politely on Twitter @TheFootballHour (follow us now!) to do a podcast about how the England football team is so rubbish. Of Course we thought it would be a great idea. Players, managers, formations, the media, the fans, the FA & Wembley Stadium are just a few of the many things we discuss. When we talk (RANT) about England it always makes for a great listen, well, because they are so frustrating and this podcast is no different. If any issue is annoying you in football or there is a topic you want us to dedicate a podcast to, tweet us @TheFootballHour and we’ll do a podcast about it.

Last week it was London this week it’s Manchester. It’s about time The Football Hour picked our best sides made up of United & City players. At the moment both clubs aren’t competing at the heights they wished at the beginning of the season. However, it seems both clubs will spend until they reach the top. It's fantastic for the Premier League that Mourinho & Guardiola are once again reigniting their rivalry in Manchester but its all been a bit too nice. So to spark some debate we’ve made our XI’s Don’t hate us.

Sanchez, Costa, Payet, Ozil & Sterling are a group of men with immense power, not that sort of power because if it was that sort of power, Ozil and Sterling wouldn’t be on the list. Player Power is the power I am speaking of and that is the subject of the podcast. It seems on the face of it that clubs and especially fans are bearing the Chris Brunt of this issue. Fans give these players huge admiration and more often than not, players throw it back in our faces. One thing that seems to be at the core of every player power story is MONEY, football is drunk with money and the players are moneyholics. Back in the day of Paul Gascoigne & Merson, Tony Adams and George Best, players were just alcoholics, now their moneyholics. The Football Hour is fed up with it, so we made a podcast about it.

Bournemouth, Swansea, Middlesbrough, Leicester, Hull, Crystal Palace and Sunderland are dicing with death at the foot of the Premier League table. Three of these sides will be playing Championship football next season and three will be counting their chickens and their Premier League millions because they survived. With Bournemouth you could ask (Eddie) HOWE the hell have you got sucked into this relegation battle? Swansea has had 3 managers this season and has finally struck gold with their 3rd a former P.E teacher, Paul Clement. Boro are boring everyone to safety. The champions of England are sinking straight to the Championship; Sam Allardyce is drinking more and more pints of Echo Beach because he is managing Crystal Palace to relegation. The new Mourinho now manages the club from the 2017 City of Culture Hull? But still looks on the verge of the drop and Sunderland well obviously Sunderland is in the relegation zone. 3 must go, so we at The Football Hour, decided we’d analyse which 3 it wi

Alex & Dom love making imaginary teams and today's podcast is no different. The boys pick their best team from all of the teams from around the capital, there are some disagreements in regard to individual players however both can agree their respective teams would dominate the division.

Rashford, Sterling, Lukaku, Dele Alli, are young talented multi-millionaire footballers. These guys are heroes to many around the world, but what's stopping them from becoming the worlds greatest? Why do players, especially in the Premier League fail at reaching the next step? This podcast delves into the issues surrounding young player development. MONEY, LOANS, PLAYER WILL POWER are key factors in this debate. Alex & Dom who present this podcast are young guys themselves (shame we don't have the same amount of money, as young premier league players ) and when we see a young English player, we get more excited than usual. You can relate to these guys, you feel proud of these young players. However, what is heart breaking for fans, is when young talented players are wasted, sitting in reserves, going out on loan to a hundred clubs a season and never doing what they are paid to do, which is, playing football. If you, the lovely listener enjoys this podcast. Go and follow us @TheFootballHour WE WA

So Chelsea battered Arsenal 3-1 to open this weekend's PL weekend. Alex & Dom analyse what went so wrong for the Wenger's Gunners, and so right for Conte's Blues. Both of the boys launch scathing attacks at Arsenal (which from Dom, isn't entirely suprising whatsoever) So make sure to LISTEN NOW and follow us on Twitter @TheFootballHour #AFC #CFC #WENGER #CONTE #ARSENAL #CHELSEA #ARSENALFANTV #KTBFFH #EPL #BPL #PREMIERLEAGUE #KANTE #OZIL #SANCHEZ #CECH #BELLERIN #MUSTAFI #HAZARD #FOOTBALL #SOCCER #RADIO #PODCASTS #PODERNFAMILY

Lampard retired this week. So Alex & Dom have decided to make a podcast about his illustrious career And also look at whether he is the greatest English midfielder of all time?

Chelsea are currently 9 points clear and if they beat Arsenal this lunchtime it could be 12 before the other title rivals has even kicked a football. Alex & Dom analyse their performance v Liverpool midweek & is there even a title race? Is it all wrapped up for the South West London side. #CFC #CHELSEA #CONTE #COSTA #LUIZ #TERRY #KANTE #FOOTBALL #RADIO #PODCASTS #SOCCER #EPL #BPL #PREMIERLEAGUE #PODERNFAMILY

As a nation we were all transfixed by this underdog story, a team who were fighting relegation in 2015, going and winning the premier league the following year, it was a little bit crazy. It didn't feel right, but it happened and how happy did it make us feel? Sorry Spurs fans. The dream has stopped and if Leicester aren't careful, this dreadful season can become a nightmare. They don't want to become the team that won the league then got relegated. That doesn't sound great. We were asked on Twitter @TheFootballHour by @FaisalA2300 if we can do a podcast all about his team LCFC, so here it is. Listeners of The Football Hour if you want us to do a podcast about something you think we should be talking about, TWEET US @TheFootballHour and we'll do it. #LCFC #EPL #LEICESTER #PREMIERLEAGUE #FOOTBALL #RADIO #PODCASTS #SOCCER #VARDY #KANTE #RANIERI #PODERNFAMILY

There was a time, not too long ago, when Rooney and Sturridge were England's best players. That time is not now, both seem shadows of their former selves. Wayne may have broken the United all-time goalscoring record however there's no hiding over the fact he's been very poor this season. But, who is having the worser season? Well, it's hard to tell because both of them sit on benches a lot of the time. They both earn tremendous amounts to sit on bench, what a life, but not the life these professional footballers dream of. Alex & Dom give Rooney & Studge The Football Hour treatment. Have a listen. #Rooney #Sturridge #England #MUFC #LFC #Football #PremierLeague #Soccer #United #Liverpool #ManUtd #Scousers #OldTrafford #Anfield #Sport #Radio #PodernFamily

It’s the dilemma; Arsenal fans go through at the turn of every year. “God, we’re actually looking quite good” But, the moment that thought is processed, another darker one enters “For God Sake, don’t get too excited, we’ll just bottle it” Arsenal at this moment in time, have a slim chance of catching Chelsea. However, it is dependent on whether Arsenal can go to Stamford Bridge on the 4th of Feb and get a win. The Gunners barely ever get a win at Chelsea’s ground, so AFC fans won’t be holding their breath. On this edition of The Football Hour Alex sings Arsenals praises and typically Dom, tells him to “get real”. You’ll hear the boys discussing Mesut Özil, Alexis Sanchez, Bad Boy Wenger, Welbeck, Contracts and weirdly a long conversation about China.
