About this listen

 So, you think football is just a game? Think again! From Nottingham to Newcastle, Aston to Arsenal, “Dear America, This Is Football” is your ultimate passport into the wild, wonderful world of the most thrilling sports competition on Earth. Whether you’re a curious newcomer, a lapsed fan, or someone who once thought “Premier League” was a subscription TV package, this podcast is your backstage pass to 20 clubs, a hundred years of grudges, and millions of chanting, swearing, heartbroken fans.

Based on the book, The Complete Guide To The English Premier League, written by Ross Carlisle and Joe Andrich, this is football with a pint in hand, not a calculator. Club-by-club, match-by-match, chant-by-questionable-chant, you’ll uncover the histories, rivalries, myths, magic and madness that make the Premier League a global obsession.

No dry stats. No tedious tactics. Just a proper love letter to football’s greatest soap opera. Because the Premier League isn’t just the only thing in life. It’s far more important than that…

    Come On You Spurs! - Tottenham Hotspur
    Aug 5 2025
    From the terraces of White Hart Lane to the state-of-the-art Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Spurs’ story is one of ambition, identity, heartbreak, and hope. In this epic episode, we trace the rich history of Tottenham Hotspur—its North London roots, fierce rivalries, legends like Greaves and Kane, and the cultural tapestry of a diverse community that lives and breathes football. We unpack the club’s golden age under Bill Nicholson, the rise and fall of modern heroes, and the rollercoaster of the 2024–25 season: a dismal league finish redeemed by Europa League glory. With Ange Postecoglou out and Thomas Frank in, what does the future hold for Spurs? Can the motto "To Dare Is To Do" still guide the way?

    Burnley FC is more than just a football club—it's the beating heart of a working-class town with a proud, gritty history. In this episode, we dive into the deep roots of Burnley’s footballing legacy, from golden-era triumphs and near extinction, to Premier League revival and modern transformation. We explore Turf Moor’s iconic chants, the unwavering loyalty of the Clarets' fanbase, and what makes Burnley one of the most authentic clubs in England. As they return to the Premier League, we ask: can tradition and tenacity still thrive in a money-driven football world?

    Where Industrial Heritage Meets Modern Ambition - Manchester City
    Aug 4 2025
    Manchester City’s journey is one of football’s most compelling tales—rooted in East Manchester’s industrial heart and rising to the global elite. In this episode, we trace City’s transformation from second-division strugglers to Premier League giants, from Maine Road memories to Etihad dominance. With legends like Colin Bell, Sergio Agüero, and Kevin De Bruyne, and iconic moments like the ‘93:20’ title win, City’s evolution reflects both the soul of a city and the ambition of a modern football empire. Whether you remember “Typical City” or Pep’s passing perfection—this is a story of passion, pain, and pure blue pride.
