Pro Revolution Soccer

PRS OG Keir Milburn joins to discuss how the unreality and untruths of capitalism are mirrored by football, whether the City verdict has created a time travel paradox, the libidinal energy of football fandom, life being gamified and football de-gamified, and all manner of other trademark speculative whimsy.

Guardian journalist Morgan Ofori joins to discuss the dark clouds hanging over the game in this country, from Man City and other dodgy owners, through the stitch-ups in academy football, all the way to clubs losing their identities and whether the recent scandal will affect broadcast revenues.
