The Prem Becomes Set-Piece Rollerball, Arsenal x The RAF, Ryder Cup Sociology, NFL Lessons For The GAA
The weekend’s sport draws to a close, Monday arrives and you get a double shot of Second Captains podcasts. The world feels brighter, airier, you walk with an extra bounce in your step. Then comes Tuesday and there’s a sudden void in your life. How can you make it six whole days without another dispatch of independent, member-led broadcasting?
Well, we’ve got a solution for you, dear Monday listener. Listen to this week’s SC taster menu, realise there’s a light at the end of the tunnel and sign up for the World Service for just €5 a month + VAT at secondcaptains.com/join. The gang’s all here!

This week there’s the Arsenal x the RAF collab you never quite saw coming, Ken on why the USA’s Ryder Cup fans just can’t get a chant together, Paul Flynn on what the GAA can learn from the NFL, and the recent apparent revolution of Premier League football into set piece rollerball.
