Fred Asquith On The Ball

Today on FoB we dissect the latest England Squad including TWO (not three!) surrpise inclusions. I fall head over heels in love with the idea of the Bellingham brothers taking us tot 2028 glory in the spirit of ’66, as well as discuss who I would start vs Croatia and Spain later this week. We then move on to a couple of stories in the world of Golf, firstly the collapse of LIV and secondly the horrendous act of Rory McIlroy pushing down a blade of grass. Tut tut. We finish, as always, with a voice note hot take, and this one is a classic discussion we are yet to cover on FoB.

Today on FoB we open with a declaration that the EARLY DOORS of this season's Premier League are now CLOSED. What have we learnt so far and ARE Brighton Title Contenders? (Yes and I'll tell you exactly why). We then move on to predict the ins and outs of Tuchel's November England Squad selection, including my case for Foden, and how we should play (or not play) Rice and Anderson. Finally, we have 2 incredible voice notes from my new favourite listener Craig. He has some SPICY hot takes about International Representation, and that Golf is a "hobby".

Today on FoB we give Harry Kane his flowers after he took home the Ballon d'Or on Monday night. I particularly enjoy diving into a moment of his speech that I think revealed a lot about how he got where he is today. We then move on to hail Cherki as the most annoying player you could play at 5-a-side, before going on to pick the following 4 players to make The Most Annoying 5-a-Side Team of All Time. We follow this up with a relevant voice note HOT TAKE about Throw-ins vs Kick-ins.

Today on FoB I discuss why Man United are rotten to the core, singling out Harry Maguire as being representative of the problem. I also reflect on Diego Gomez's incredible long range strike and lay out my 5-point criteria for the best long range goals. We then move on to review the Dubois vs Wardley fight we previewed last week before finishing off with a really interesting Voice Note Hot Take from Rami about how much World Cup Wins factor in the GOAT debate.

Today on FoB I once again give my neutral take on the Man City 115 Guilty Verdict situation in the aftermath of their 3-0 victory over Liverpool. I discuss why the focus was not on the game itself and whether that was right. I then move on to marvel at Jordan Henderson's ability to make Cold Palmer crack a smile, before finishing the footy chat by debating the lack of a red card for Luke Shaw (and the reasons why he lost the plot). We then dive into a preview on Dubois vs Wardley II, a heavyweight title fight sequel coming THIS Saturday that I think you should be aware of. I discuss Dubois recent career and my prediction for the fight. I touch on F1 and why I'm falling out of love with the sport, before as always finishing off with a voice note hot take - Send FoB a voice note! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://memo.fm/fredasquithontheball⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUBSCRIBE and join the FoB Family!RATE & REVIEW!
