  • Liverpool's Salah dilemma, Pep's biggest test and Amorim's aura | Three Up Front
    Nov 27 2024

    Simon Jordan, Graeme Souness, Troy Deeney and Henry Winter get together for the final Three Up Front of 2024.

    They discuss why Mo Salah has gone to the press about his future, what might be going through his mind as he decides what to do and how Liverpool will respond.

    Manchester City’s disastrous form prompts the question: is this the biggest test of Pep Guardiola’s managerial career? They also debate which City players are in decline and ask why did Guardiola sign that new deal?

    They also take stock of Manchester United’s first match under Ruben Amorim and give their thoughts on which players he will stick with and which will be on their bike and they revisit Simon, Troy and Graeme’s pre-season predictions. Who picked Nottingham Forest for the drop…?

  • Nigel Benn | "I have never said one derogatory thing about your son!"💥
    Nov 21 2024

    This episode contains issues that some people might find distressing. If you need support or advice on any of the matters raised within the programme, please visit: https://www.samaritans.org/

    Our guest on the latest episode of Up Front is the Dark Destroyer - Nigel Benn. A fan favourite throughout his career, Nigel was a two-weight world champion who was involved in some of the most memorable fights in British boxing history.

    After taking up the sport while serving in the army, Nigel soon established a reputation as a fearsome puncher. He won the WBO middleweight title in 1990 and the WBC super-middleweight belt in 1992 and is best remembered for his contests against Chris Eubank and Gerald McClellan, the latter of which was sadly to have tragic consequences.

    Following his retirement, Nigel struggled with addictions that took him to the brink of taking his own life. He talks candidly about that period and how he turned things around, the fights against Eubank and McClellan and the current boxing scene. He also discusses his son Conor: his potential fight with Chris Eubank Jr and the recent lifting of his provisional doping ban by the National Anti-Doping Panel. Nigel and Simon have strongly disagreed on that subject and, for the first time, they sit down to hear what the other has to say. This is one not to be missed.

  • Fact from Fiction - Footballing Tropes Under The Microscope | Three Up Front
    Nov 6 2024

    In this episode of Three Up Front, with special guest Henry Winter, the panel are set the task of challenging football’s conventional wisdom.

    For example, are football agents really the scourge of the modern game, or actually useful allies? Is Russell Martin’s ‘philosophy’ at Southampton destined only for the Championship? Contrary to popular belief, does the Chelsea board actually know what it is doing? And despite the top ten teams in the Premier League being managed by foreign coaches, are British coaches STILL just as good as they are?

    Simon, Troy, Graeme and Henry examine all that and more as they put common footballing theories under the microscope.
