Edwin van der Sar “Senne Reminds me of Myself”

Thu, 07 May 2026 15:00:00 -0000

Season 16 of the Fozcast is here - and we are back with a bang! 🔥

To kick things off, we’re joined by one of the greatest goalkeepers to ever play the game. A man who won multiple Premier League’s and TWO Champions League’s - someone Ben knows very well having been teammates with him back in 2008… it's Edwin van der Sar! 🧤

Edwin takes us right back to the beginning - to that iconic Ajax side of 1995 where he won his first ever Champions League alongside some of the greatest players of a generation, including Clarence Seedorf, Marc Overmars and Edgar Davids. A truly special team. 👀

He then opens up about his time at Juventus, and the moment the club replaced him with a certain Gianluigi Buffon - and how that decision ultimately led him to Manchester United, where he went on to win SEVEN major trophies. 🏆

If you love the GK episodes, this one is an absolute must watch.

The £500k Player Who Sold For £142 Million… Les Reed

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 15:00:00 -0000

This week on the Fozcast, we sit down with a man who has been at the very heart of football for decades - former Technical Director at the FA, former Vice Chairman at Southampton, and current Strategy Advisor at Wrexham… it's Les Reed. 🧠

If you want to know what really goes on behind the scenes in football, Les is your man. He was a key architect of that iconic Southampton recruitment era from 2010-2018 - the side that produced Virgil van Dijk, Sadio Mané, Nathaniel Clyne, Adam Lallana and so many more.

Les opens up about what really went on in those boardroom meetings with Liverpool as they kept coming back to pick Southampton's best players… and how the club navigated that era with such consistency. 👀

He also reveals the player Southampton could have signed for just £500,000 - who eventually sold for £142 million - and the story behind why it didn't happen. Can you guess who it is…? 🤔

A different one for the Fozcast this week, but one we think you're really going to enjoy. Let us know in the comments if you want more episodes like this one!

Mick McCarthy - How you KNOW You're About to Be SACKED...

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 16:00:00 -0000

This week on the Fozcast, we’re joined by former Republic of Ireland, Wolves, Sunderland & Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy, as we step inside the mind of a Premier League manager 👀⚽️

Mick takes us through his years in management - from the standards he set in the dressing room to whether those same standards could still be applied in today’s game. We also dive into the transfer market, looking back at some of his biggest signings and how managers deal with agents - especially when their priorities don’t always align with the player or the club.

We also get into the reality of being sacked as a manager - did Mick see it coming, or was it a case of being shown the door out of nowhere? (Ben’s got a great story on this one too 😅).

On top of that, we look back at his time as Republic of Ireland manager and how the international job compares to life in club football.

Honestly, we could have spoken to Mick for hours - a massive thank you to him for coming on the pod. Ben also featured on Mick’s podcast with Tony Pulis, so make sure you check that out too - link below 👇🏼

Thu, 29 May 2025 15:00:00 -0000

This week’s guest on the Fozcast is Arsenal’s number one, winner of the Premier League Golden Glove and Euro 2024 winner with Spain, it’s David Raya!

In this episode, David shares the story of moving from Spain to England at just 16 years old, adjusting to a new culture and chasing his dream of becoming a professional goalkeeper.

He reflects on his journey from Blackburn and Brentford to Arsenal, where he’s now battling for major trophies and individual honours like the Golden Glove every season in the Premier League.

He also talks about learning from difficult moments — including hitting rock bottom after a match — and how support from Arsenal staff and family helped him reset.

We dive into the goalkeeper mindset, what it's really like to play under Mikel Arteta, the difference between the Championship and Premier League, and the madness of the North London Derby.

There’s even chat about building the perfect goalkeeper, the save that shocked the Champions League, and why teenage sensation Dean Huijsen is the real deal.

Following his departure from Greece, Andre talks about his move to Saudi Arabia and what the quality of football is like out there along with how the tax system works and the struggles of leaving the family when in a different country!

As always, we finish the episode with some NEW quick fire questions, let us know what you think of them below!

A massive thank you to Andre for coming on and we wish him the best for the rest of the season!

Kasper Schmeichel - Life at Celtic and how Leicester go from winning the title to RELEGATION...

Thu, 19 Dec 2024 16:00:00 -0000

We have a guest who is getting their 2nd cap on the Fozcast this week, it's Leicester legend and current Celtic and Denmark GK Kasper Schmeichel. We travelled all the way up to see Kasper in his current home in Glasgow and we can definitely say it was well worth the trip!

In this episode, Kasper talked about all of his recent moves including leaving Leicester to Nice, joining Anderlecht and now Celtic. He talks about the struggles of joining new clubs and teaming up with boss Brendan Rodgers once again after a call just before he went on holiday!

Kasper then dives into his work off the pitch and discusses the importance in looking after the body with cold baths and saunas! He also touches on experiences he has had throughout the game which has aided him throughout his career to become the goalie he is today...

We finally look back at his Leicester career and touch on a few of his previous team mates who have moved on including African Player of the Year, Ademola Lookman.

Thank you so much for listening and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we loved filming it! A massive thank you to Kasper for coming on the pod again and good luck for the rest of the season.

“Arsenal are 3 years AHEAD of Man Utd” & What Manager Will get the SACK First?

Thu, 05 Dec 2024 18:29:00 -0000

The Premier League has given us some midweek fixtures this week, so of course we thought we’d treat you to two Football Fill-In ’s in one week! Kicking the show off today, we had to start with Arsenal vs Manchester United. Arsenal looked very dominant from those set pieces and we had our expert, Dave Watson dive in, to give his analysis on how good they actually are… Moving up north to Newcastle, they faced Liverpool in a frantic 3-3 draw, we looked at how good Salah was, that Isak goal, and should have Kelleher caught that ball for that Newcastle equaliser? Chelsea won 5-1 to Southampton and they looked very dominant, a few clumsy mistakes from the Southampton team which lead them to getting a red card, to make it a walk in the park for Chelsea. Manchester City are BACK to winning ways too, in a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest, but is the problem solved in Manchester?

Sean Dyche’s Everton beat Wolves in a convincing 4-0 win, in a game where both managers are under pressure, will Gary O’Neil get the sack? Moving onto Aston Villa, they beat Brentford 3-1 with Ollie Watkins and Morgan Rogers being the standout performers. Will Brentford and Thomas Frank get round to improving this away record? Ruud Van Nistlerooy took his first game in charge for Leicester City and they looked great, beating West Ham 3-1 at home, which now mounts the pressure on Julen Lopetegui and his time at West Ham.

Our final game is Ipswich vs Crystal Palace where Mateta strikes it home to win 1-0 and there’s now questions on whether Ipswich will slowly fade into that relegation zone as that gap increases.

“Pep’s FINALLY Cracked” & “Salah Says his Goodbyes”

Mon, 02 Dec 2024 20:41:00 -0000

It was GOALS GALORE in the Premier League this weekend!! On the Football Fill-In today we have Ben Foster, Darren Bent, Dave Watson and Tom Ochoa as we talk about this weekend of fixtures!

Our first game starts off with the Super Sunday match, which was Liverpool vs Manchester City. What is going on at City and is Pep losing the plot? We discuss all on this game and how it’s now Liverpools title to lose… Moving on, Chelsea beat Villa 3-0 in a convincing win, we had a look at their upcoming fixtures and it looks good for them, could they push for a title charge?! West Ham vs Arsenal saw seven goals in the first half which could lead to worrying times for West Ham and Julen Lopetegui. Manchester United are off the mark with their first win in the PL under Ruben Amorim with a 4-0 victory over Everton, with one manager coming in, will one manager be coming out in the name of Sean Dyche? We also discuss Marcus Rashford going to the USA and how good Amad Diallo was!

Looking at the game in the midlands, we head to Wolves in a thrilling 4-2 defeat to Bournemouth. Wolves gave away three penalties which could all have been avoided, but in doing so, Bournemouth broke two Premier League records with Evanilson being the first to win a hat-tick of penalties and Justin Kluivert the first to score a hat-trick of penalties! Brentford’s AMAZING home record continues with a 4-1 win over Leicester as Ruud van Nistelrooy watches in the stands with the owners. Kevin Schade scores a hat-tick and he is the 2nd Brentford player to score a PL hat-tick with the first being Ivan Toney!

Staying in London, Spurs hosted Fulham as they drew 1-1, which leads to Spurs fans being frustrated with the lack of consistency with results. Crystal Palace host Newcastle, and Palace were dominant and deserved a point going right to the final whistle. A potential worrying time for Newcastle as they only managed 1 shot the whole game with 0 being on target. Isak also comes off injured too which doesn’t look good for the Magpies.

Moving to the final two games, Brighton hosted Southampton on Friday night, which caused a divide in opinion in the studio today with that Adam Armstrong offside. Do you think the goal should have counted? Finally, Forest beat Ipswich 1-0 with a Chris Wood penalty taking them to 6th in the table!

Football's Gone Soft?

“Nothings Changed at United” & Is Pep Actually Under Pressure?

Mon, 25 Nov 2024 19:23:00 -0000

This week on the Football Fill-In we have Ben Foster, Darren Bent, Dave Watson and Tom Ochoa on the show! We have also spruced up our set so we hope you all like it!

The first game this week was Leicester vs Chelsea with Enzo Maresca going back to his old club, but the big talking point was Steve Cooper being sacked from Leicester. Who’s going to replace him? Speaking of managers, Ruben Amorim had his first game against newly promoted Ipswich, but it wasn’t the start that they hope for! Moving to the other Manchester Club, Man City signed Pep Guardiola on another 2 year contact but that wasn’t enough to stop spurs as they thrashed City 4-0 away from home!

Cunha stars for Wolves as they win 4-1 vs Fulham, giving Wolves back to back wins in the Premier League! Arsenal shine as Odegaard returns in 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest. Bens former Watford teammate Joao Pedro was involved for two goals for Brighton as they get a 2-1 win over Bournemouth! Will Brighton make it into the Champions League spots? Speaking of Bens former teammates, Ismaïla Sarr scores his first PL goal in over three years as Palace get a draw against Aston Villa! The final draw of the weekend was Everton vs Brentford which finished 0-0. Will Brentford improve that away record?

The final fixture we talked about was Southampton vs Liverpool, in a game where people thought Liverpool were going to run riot, Southampton showed their strength but Salahs penalty was enough for them to get the three points as they sit top of the table.

Thank you all for watching!!

Ipswich STUN Spurs and is there a CRISIS at Manchester City?! Ft Stuart Dallas and Ben Tozer!

Mon, 11 Nov 2024 19:20:00 -0000

The Football Fill-In has got a great line-up this week with Ben Foster, Dave Watson, Ben Tozer and former Leeds Legend, Stuart Dallas!

On today’s Premier League show we talk about Brighton's INCREDIBLE 2-1 win over Manchester City and the talks around if City will retain their title this season after a FOURTH defeat in a row! We then move on to Liverpool with Darwin Nunez and Mo Salah's goals seeing off Aston Villa, putting them at the top of the table going into the international break.

The London Derby between Chelsea and Arsenal ended 1-1, but the Gunners could have nicked it at the end through Leandro Trossard. Staying in West London, Brentford's home form continued as they saw off AFC Bournemouth 3-2 in an entertaining spectacle that saw Yoanne Wissa bag another two!

We had a MASSIVE shock down at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with Ipswich stunning Spurs with a 2-1 win which is their first win of the season! Looking at the other two London clubs at home this weekend, we had Palace vs Fulham where there are now questions about Oliver Glasner's future at the club, but will their form improve with their injury list building? West Ham drew 0-0 against Everton, with both GK’s showing great performances here and we have our two GKs analyse their performance on the show.

Ruud van Nistelrooy got another win to end his short reign in charge at Manchester United versus Leicester, but has recently been confirmed (after the show) that he has left the Red Devils, was this a good decision from the club?

Newcastle beat the Nottingham Forest 3-1 away from home with players like goals from Alexander Isak, Joelinton and Harvey Barnes shining. Finally, Wolves beat Southampton 2-0 at home, which could be a job saver for Gary O’Neil....

We break each game down into more detail on the show and make sure you watch to the end to see who wins in the Football Fill-In quiz!

Mon, 04 Nov 2024 17:00:00 -0000

We have a BRAND NEW set for the show today along with Premier League winner and Leicester Legend Marc Albrighton!

This week there was loads of talking points from the Premier League fixtures including Bournemouth cruising past Manchester City as they ENDED their 32-game unbeaten league record. Fighting for that number one spot is Arsenal, who also lost 1-0 to Newcastle with Alexander Isak scoring a header that sent them to 10th in the table. Liverpool also get a comeback win over Brighton scoring two goals in two minutes, however we discuss what might happen to the Reds if they lose 3 KEY PLAYERS...

On the other hand, at the bottom of the table we saw some big six pointers, with Southampton hosting Everton and clinching a 1-0 win, Rambo with some incredible saves too! Ipswich will feel robbed with not getting a penalty and Kalvin Phillips saw red as they conceded a last minute equaliser to Leicester. Wolves and Crystal Palace were the last game on the Saturday ending in a frantic 2-2 draw with questions now posed to Gary O’Neil and his job. To round off Saturday's matches, Nottingham Forest beat West Ham 3-0 as they end the weekend in 3rd place with Chris Wood scoring AGAIN!

Looking at the Sunday fixtures, Dominic Solanke scored two goals to seal a big 4-1 win over Aston Villa, with James Maddison also scoring a class free-kick for his 50th Premier League goal. Finally, what was set to be a blockbuster between Manchester United and Chelsea ended 1-1 with Manchester United fans looking forward to their new manager Ruben Amorim and hoping he can bring back the glory days...

Finally we end with The Football Fill-In Quiz, can Marc get the guests tally off the mark for the season or will Ben or Tom triumph again?

Man Utd Were a DISGRACE! Is Palmer More Valuable Than Haaland? The Football Fill-In Ep 7

Mon, 30 Sep 2024 17:04:00 -0000

Could this be the end for Erik ten Hag plus is Cole Palmer actually worth more than Erling Haaland?!

The Football Fill-In is back and there’s lots to digest as Ben and Tom are joined by Watto on the sofa to discuss it all.

Manchester United had a terrible afternoon at Old Trafford on Sunday as they were well beaten by 3-0 by a rampant Spurs. The lads look at Bruno Fernandes’ red card, how good Micky Van de Ven is and how close to the end could Erik ten Hag really be?

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink on Being a Player, a Coach and LEGEND!

Thu, 17 Aug 2023 15:00:00 -0000

Today we have a Premier League legend on the Fozcast, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. Bursting into the Premier League with Leeds United before a big money move to Atletico Madrid where despite scoring 24 league goals, Madrid were relegated from the top tier of Spanish football. This opened the door for a huge move back to the Premier league with Chelsea for a record fee of £15 million. It didn't take long for him to get off the mark for the Blues as he was able to score on his debut at Wembley in the Charity Shield versus the mighty Manchester United and from that point onwards, the rest is history.
