  • Theo Walcott | "Arteta locked us in the dressing room, it was like he was the manager”
    Jun 27 2024

    On today’s episode, we are joined by a former Arsenal favourite who is 1 of only 8 players to score over 100 goals for the club. Theo Walcott shot to fame at 16 when he signed for Arsenal in 2006, and his profile soared further when he was called up for England for the 2006 World Cup six months later. Upon his signing, he was widely tipped for greatness with comparisons to Thierry Henry. To go along with the goals, Theo won multiple FA Cups during his time in North London, whether that number is 2 or 3 is a point of debate in this very conversation.

    Theo joins Simon in Frankfurt, Germany to discuss his career, from his rapid rise in professional football to his time at Arsenal and England. He shares what it was like to play under Arsene Wenger in a transitional period in the club's history. Theo also provides insights on Mikel Arteta, highlighting the traits he saw in him as a player that have contributed to his success as a manager, while also touching on the current England squad and their chances at EURO 2024.

  • "England’s midfield is in a Scholes, Gerrard, Lampard time warp” | Three Up Front in Frankfurt 🇩🇪
    Jun 22 2024

    On the final leg of Three Up Front’s trip around Germany, Simon, Graeme and Troy discuss the malaise around England’s performances, suggest playing Jude Bellingham deeper is the way for Gareth Southgate to improve his side and analyse the post season review that Manchester United undertook before confirming Erik Ten Hag would stay on as manager.

    There’s a story involving Troy, Graeme and a German donut man and Simon ponders the question as to how Sir Jim Ratcliffe can get his club to ‘be like Real Madrid’ after his latest comments about Manchester United.

  • "Alexander-Arnold is not the answer to England’s midfield problems" | Three Up Front in Germany 🇩🇪
    Jun 18 2024

    Football fever is sweeping across Germany as Euro 2024 gets into full swing. England kicked off their campaign with a 1-0 win over Serbia, thanks to a Jude Bellingham header. It’s a familiar story: a bright start, lost control, and a nervy finish. Nonetheless, Southgate has led the boys to a win. However, with key figures like Foden struggling to impose themselves on the game, has it left us with more questions than answers?

    The Tartan Army descended on Germany in their thousands, full of expectation ahead of their group opener against the host nation. But Scotland’s 5-1 thrashing in Munich has threatened to dampen their excitement and an early exit. What went so wrong for Steve Clarke’s men?

    Simon, Graeme, and Troy discuss all this and more from Germany in the latest episode of Three Up Front.

Great interviews

Loved these. As usual Simon asks questions that others would shy away from. He does it though with honesty and respect.

No nonsense no bull!

One aspect that truly stood out was Simon Jordan's ability to ask hard questions. It was refreshing to listen to a discussion that went beyond the surface level and delved into the complexities of the taboo subject of race and football. Simon and John Barnes addressed controversial issues and didn't shy away from exploring different perspectives. The questions posed were not only stimulating but also encouraged critical thinking and self-reflection on a subject we often turn a blind eye to as a society.

Simon Jordan, take a bow son

Fascinating line up of guests, and SJ typically doesn't shy away from challenging opinions. Getting to the heart of what makes some of these champions tick, separating them from the rest of the competition is especially inspiring. My favourite sports podcast around by far. More great work from Mr Jordan, keep it coming please
