A WEEK'S ALong TimeIN FOOTBALL

Seven Days.One Beautiful Game.

MONTUEWEDTHUFRISATSUN

01 / THE IDEA

Football is serious business.
It is also completely ridiculous.

A sharp, warm and properly prepared look back at the seven days that changed the conversation — and the seven that might change it again.

UK FIRST

The biggest stories from the Premier League, EFL, women's game and beyond.

GLOBALLY AWARE

A wider view whenever world football gives us something worth talking about.

PREPARED MISCHIEF

Evidence before outrage. Wit before cruelty. No lazy pile-ons and no sacred cows.

02 / THE THREE

Three opinions.
No manufactured agreement.

Different instincts, different experiences and enough trust to disagree properly. The chemistry is the format.

People and pressure

Dale Williams

A sharp eye for leadership, culture, characters and the story sitting underneath the public line.
Julian Jenkins, co-host of A Week's a Long Time in Football02

Inside the game

Julian Jenkins

Three decades around clubrooms, boardrooms and the business of football. Knows the difference between what is said and what is really happening.
David Jenkins, co-host of A Week's a Long Time in Football03

Supporter truth

David Jenkins

Cuts through the overthinking with the question football always comes back to: does any of this actually make sense?

03 / EVERY WEEK

Eight parts.
One proper conversation.

Recognisable enough to become habit. Loose enough to let the week decide where the show goes.

Previously in Football

The seven-day rewind — fast, factual and already stranger than fiction.

02

The Week's Starting XI

Eleven moments selected, challenged and argued into the team.

03

That Aged Well

Confident claims meet the inconvenient evidence.

04

The Statement Translator

Football language, decoded into something a human being might say.

05

The decision, row or grand idea that left reality behind.

06

The Wider View

Beyond Britain: the story moving the global game.

07

Next Week in Football

What is coming — and what everyone will pretend they saw coming.

08

The Good in the Game

A proper ending: the people and moments football should be proud of.
