The Football Authorities

Does a 'good' team play badly and win? Plus Clive says goodbye to ITV!

After England's lacklustre performance against Slovakia, Clive Tyldesley and Martin O'Neill ask - 'Is it really a sign of a good team when they play badly and win?' The pair discuss what Gareth Southgate should ponder before heading into the quarter finals, is Jude Bellingham fit enough to be playing 120 minutes of football and after 28 years of ITV commentary, Clive bow's out with an almighty thunderstorm for company too.

Football greats and lifelong friends Clive Tyldesley and Martin O'Neill team up to discuss the biggest football stories from across the week. 

What is the Football Authorities? It is everything that it’s not!
It’s not a podcast that revisits every game, every goal, every VAR decision like a Match of the Day repeat. It’s not a guessing game about who’s next for the sack, next for a big money move or next to trend. Instead, Martin and Clive tell the stories behind the stories... finding the reasons for the big decisions and examining the meaning of football life.

How? Through the unrivalled lived experience that decades around the iconic games and greatest names in football have brought the way of Martin and Clive, relating the tales from their long careers in football to the ever-changing present and future of the game. They have been there, seen it and understand it. They are the Football Authorities.
