What do you make of the week that saw one of the most boring games of the season followed by one of the most impressive?

Then it's Crystal Palace and Real Madrid on the horizon - and possibly a big week to come to find out if City have had their click and we're now in the post-click era for this season.

Gary and Rob talk to Martyn about his book Revolution: Rangers 1986-92, and how Graeme Souness changed Scottish football when he became player-manager at Ibrox.

After the release of his new book, today we're picking the brains of one of the most influential figures of the modern English game. David Dein was a director and major shareholder at Arsenal for 24 years and was a significant voice at the FA for many of them, too. In that time, he brought Arsène Wenger to England, helped assemble one of the greatest sides of all time, and forced through the commercial behemoth that is the Premier League. He’s certainly been at the heart of a lot of change down the years. So today, we’re asking what he makes of the game now: from its owners, to its Super League, to its money. And don't forget the vanishing spray! **You can purchase David's new book, 'Calling the Shots: How to Win in Football and Life', here.

On This Day were two of England’s more recent international humiliations, and Dom Fifield was at both. James Horncastle tells us all about his favourite World Cup, USA 94. And we discuss Neymar’s film career… Plus Carlos Tevez is a manager, Todd Boehly is giving it a go as a Sporting Director and Phil Jagielka once put a hell of a shift in as a goalkeeper.

S10 EP3: Jarlath Regan / Mick McCarthy's Republic of Ireland We're joined this week by the comedian, presenter and podcaster - Jarlath Regan. We watch and discuss the superb documentary McCarthy's Park (available on youtube) which takes a look at Mick McCarthy's time in charge of ROI as they try and fail to qualify for the France 1998 World Cup. From the early seeds of troubles with Roy Keane, to hygienic tattoo parlours via some early (but not very effective) video analysis from Mick and his team over a few beers. It's a brilliant watch. And a different time. Elsewhere in the postbag we discuss Peter Shilton's tiny hands. George Weah as Prime Minister of Liberia, and players wearing the wrong shirts. Enjoy! Jarlath's brilliant podcast 'An Irishman Abroad' is available wherever you get your podcasts and the book he mentions 'Champagne Football' by Mark Tighe + Paul Rowan is well worth a read. In other news, on top of extended 'director of football cuts' of the main series episodes, all QK Fan Club members will now also get the episodes a whole WEEK EARLY - that's right, we now release on a Monday for QK Fan Club members and the following Monday for the non fan club listeners! We've also got the usual Patreon only bonus episodes every month - later this month it's chapter three of the second book in the Steve Bruce / Barnes murder mystery 'Sweeper!' with Ivo Graham. And on top of that a Patreon only QK Film Club deep dive and watch-a-long of the 1997 film 'Fever Pitch' based on Nick Hornby's seminal book of the same name. Thanks, Chris, Josh and Michael.

Quickly Kevin Will He Score? - S9 EP2: Phil Thompson This week it's our absolute pleasure to welcome to the show a titan of the footballing world. A Liverpool legend who went from watching the team as a boy on the Kop to playing, captaining, winning league and European trophies and then eventually returning as assistant manager and then caretaker manager of his boyhood club. A real life Roy of the Rover story and one of the nicest, most charming men in the game. We spent two hours in his company and could have happily spent many more as he talked about his career, his friendship with Gerard Houllier, and most importantly (exclusive to QK Fan club Patreon members) the signing of the enigma that is Pegguy Arphexad... enjoy!!

In 1983, Ajax decided not to renew the contract of Johan Cruyff, reasoning he was past it at the age of 36. So Cruyff, in the highest possible dudgeon, signed for their bitter rivals Feyenoord – and then won the Double with them, despite an 8-2 defeat at Ajax along the way. Rob talks to Andy Bollen, author of Fierce Genius, about that extraordinary final season and what it tells us about one of the greatest footballers of all time.

Seb Stafford-Bloor is joined by Rob McDonald, Adam Bushby and Brooks Peck to discuss football’s nearly men... Rob and Adam have a new book, 'From the Jaws of Victory - A History of Football’s Nearly Men'. It is packed full of anecdotes and tales of teams who so nearly tasted victory, including a chapter on Ghana’s 2010 World Cup heartbreak by The Athletic’s Brooks Peck. The quartet talk about their own footballing heartbreak, why we seem to remember those gut-wrenching moments most vividly, and whether we’ll look back on Liverpool’s 2013/14 season in the same way we look back on England ‘96.

Series 3 - Episode 2 - Lee Dixon In terms of value for money, there can be few more astute signings than the £375,000 George Graham paid Stoke City for Lee Dixon in January 1988. 25% of arguably the greatest 90s defence, Lee finished his Arsenal career with four league titles, three FA Cup winners medals, a UEFA Cup Winner's Cup medal and infamously a runners-up medal in the latter competition too. But it was the first of his league championship medals that intrigued us most; the night of 26th May 1989, Liverpool v Arsenal - a championship play off in the last game of the season. For a whole host of reasons, from Fever Pitch to the ramifications of the Hillsborough disaster, the 1988/89 season marked the end of football as it had largely been for 100 years. And in it's culmination, Michael Thomas' last minute winner didn't just cement the league for Arsenal, it also cemented the idea of live football as a major box office draw, with the dawn of the Premier League coming soon after. We put all of this to Lee. Plus... we speculate as to whether Sean Dyche eats worms.
