The World Cup is up and running, and so are England.

This is it - the season-one finale. Arsenal are champions (and apparently have 300 million new fans overnight), and the final day settled the relegation battle. Issy was there to see West Ham go down - with a record: West Ham now hold two of the three highest points totals ever for a relegated team. Big commiserations to all the Hammers fans. Then the big one: the prediction game that's run all se...

George has decided he doesn't want to talk about football this week. He'd rather do an entire podcast about Harry Styles. He even thinks Harry plays up front for West Ham now (he doesn't). Issy is NOT having it. But the Harry Styles theme keeps creeping in all episode... This week's game is "Guess the Team" - six clues, one club, men's AND women's facts. Their women's team won the FA Cup in 2024....

Issy walks in with a suntan and a story - she just lost a cup final FOUR NIL... and yes, she was in goal.
