Away Days
On this week's episode, Kyle, Chris and Michael Brown discuss the best and worst away days for a footballer. From intimidating grounds and tight dressing rooms, to travel and pre-match meals, the trio dig into the weeds to find out what happens when a team plays away from home. Kyle discusses what it's like to be out of the country for long periods of time during pre-season tours and international tournaments, and what devices modern players use to quell the boredom. From petting dogs to Playstations, it's a fascinating insight into what happens when you're away from home for as much as five weeks at a time. They discuss the best and worst journeys to away grounds, notably an occasion when Kyle was playing for Spurs where there was a very difficult moment on a plane heading to Sunderland which forced one teammate to decide to take a taxi home to London from the north east rather than board a plane again. They talk best and worst roommates: don't room with Jimmy Bullard; the most intimidating grounds both in England and abroad, and why playing small teams in the FA Cup is unmatched. And the episode ends with a chaotic quiz to see whether Michael can really beat Kyle Walker when it comes to a very specific question set by Chris.
