The Athletic

Hello, I'm Dan Bardell.

And I'm Flo Lloyd Hughes.

And welcome to the Athletic Football podcast where every Wednesday we pick out one article from the brilliant writing available on the Athletic and put the authors under the spotlight.

We've had it in the last couple of minutes.

A statement's leading European football clubs announce new Super League.

This is, for me, a war on football.

And it goes against everything that football's about.

It's a close shot for these big wigs, and it's completely and utterly only about one thing,

and that's money.

There are fans who have made their way into the ground.

They're now heading out onto the pitch to let their feelings be known.

I think all football fans should unite today behind what Manchester United fans have done.

Because honestly, what they did two weeks ago was really dangerous for English football.

We must not forget that.

Today, our focus is on an article by the Athletics Jack Pitt Brook and a host of other athletic contributors

and it looks into the collapse of the Super League and more importantly what it might look like when it comes back.

Yep and we'll continue to celebrate Black History Month.

We'll tell you a little bit about a fascinating interview on the site right now with Brandy Heron,

who's the daughter of musician Gil Scott Heron and granddaughter of the first black footballer to represent Celtic. Of course, it's Gil Heron.

And we'll say hello to Jack in just a minute. But first, Dan, I want to talk about that game on Sunday.

The only game people were talking about, people are still talking about it now.
