You Couldn't Script It, Episode Five

In their (seemingly doomed) ongoing quest to locate some accurate, enduring and entertaining football fiction, this week Edward and Ian went straight for the jugular by watching Apple TV's multiple award-winning comedy series Ted Lasso. While your heroes are both fans of the show, could their affection for it be tested by our age old question: is it really about football?

Your regular panel set about trying to find out once and for all, with additional stops along the way to discuss other poignant topics such as "the real life Ted Lasso" Terry Smith's ill-fated spell in charge of Chester City at the turn of the Century, and whether or not it was a good idea to allow Australia to enter the Eurovision Song Contest. If you'd like to listen to thought-provoking content like this every week rather than once every month, your only reasonable course of action is to subscribe to Ian's Substack. Do it now! Go on!
