Summary

It may be an Interlull but there's still a podcast and this week I chat to Josh Robinson, co-author of a fantastic book called – The Club: How the English Premier League Became the Wildest, Richest, Most Disruptive Force in Sports. We speak about the formation of the Premier League, how Arsenal's David Dein played a key role and how Roman Abramovich might have bought a different London club, the growth into a massive global phenomenon, how the money keeps flooding in, where it might all end up in terms of a European Super League, and lots more besides.

Sadly, that's not the case so we're just going to have to get on with it as best we can

because we could have just not done a podcast today.

0:57.5

That would have been okay.

0:58.5

You know, there's no arsenal until not next weekend, but Monday.

So the inter-all ends and everybody else gets to play next weekend, but no, we have to wait

1:06.4

until Monday night at eight o'clock before we get going again.

1:12.2

That's against Newcastle.

1:13.6

So, you know, it would have been okay, I think, to say, hey, this week, this week let's

and thank you very much as always for being here.
