Punditry in a time of crisis. #ForFutureFootball This Is Deep Play is a podcast that looks at football beyond the the rectangular narrative of the pitch and the mundanity of the television studio. As we consider fan culture, finance, politics, surrealism and history we begin to slip towards a great enchantment with both football and wider society. The more we get our heads round leveraged buyouts and definitions of 'Community Value' the more we idly dream of Ballardian conclusions and even supernatural happenings. Amidst football's standard issue knee-jerk opinions of There Is No Alternative and Against Modern Football, we're trying to look to the future. Join us, and join in. https://thisisdeepplay.jellycast.com/node/15 We are awakened by our slumber to discuss our opposition to the 'League 3' plan to allow elite clubs' reserve sides to enter the Football League system.

Featuring extinct football clubs such as Nunhead FC and Middlesbrough Ironopolis, the Spectre of Marx, epochs in football, the similarities between squats and non-league grounds, the gothic horror of Roy of the Rovers and how death somehow seems more real in football. Concludes with a call to embrace morbidity in football.

Featuring: neoliberal regeneration, Kevin Keegan's Labourism & Sir John Hall's Thatcherism, supporters trusts, the political activity of Istanbul ultras, a west/east divide in unEnglish regional identities, the lack of a Cornish league club, 'The Year of Dreaming Dangerously', regionalism in Iberian football, Sicilians supporting Argentina, a hyper-conservative bourgeois inauthentic 'London' identity and the indisputable fact that Oasis were better than Blur.

Featuring the importance of cheating to the sport, Luis Suarez winning the Jouissance World Cup, meta-game thinking and video game tickling, Darlington FC's world leading absurdist drama productions, the moribundly simplistic pleasure of Manchester United title triumphs, the shift from mob football to public school football, Beethoven wallpaper and a possible RSPCA investigation into animal cruelty.

We discuss Tottenham Hotspur's ongoing attempts to build a bigger stadium amidst local protests about housing and facilities, how their plans contrast with Arsenal's earlier development (itself controversial), Liverpool's 'tinning up' of local homes & the issue of 'state aid' in East Manchester and beyond. More deeply, we consider how positive community relations can be a source of pride for a football club beyond the myopic obsession with success on the pitch. Finally, we turn to the flipside of stadia redevelopment - where smaller clubs' grounds are at risk from developers, looking at the example of Dulwich Hamlet's Champion Hill and a supporters' attempt to have it listed as an Asset of Community Value.

We look at policing's role in the wider changes in football and the representation of football fan culture. Furthermore, we consider the links between this and the policing of political protests and even the gentrification of urban spaces.

Indeed, this cheerleading for efficiency threatens to further accelerate football towards the contradiction of non-competitiveness.

Expect stuff on Manchester United's Glazernomics, Wimbledon's move to Milton Keynes, the differences between the Football League and non-league and the elite destruction of the game's collective structure.

Features voxpops with fans and our own thoughts. Can the protest work? Is there scope for a wider political fan movement? And how does English football culture compare to the likes of Germany and, most topically, Istanbul and Brazil?

We try to ask what modern football is, look the case against it, describe strategies and consider the place of football within the dynamic processes of history. Everything changes.
