The Joy of Football
The Joy of Football, celebrating the greatest sport in the world.
Join Neil Barnett (former Chelsea touch-liner announcer and football journalist) alongside 'The Voice' of the Premier League Martin Tyler (former SKY Sports Main Commentator) as they celebrate the greatest addiction in the World!
On The Joy of Football, we discuss, not only the joy, but also the issues - no matter how obscure. Every week we select our 'Three of the Best' players, Martin gives us his 'Letter from the Gantry' on his football topic for the week, and Neil shares his 'Voice of Passion' on another. And that's just scratching the surface.
So join us in celebrating the greatest addiction in the World: Football!

Crystal Palace WIN the FA Cup, Other ‘One Trophy Wonders’, Why Fans MATTER & More
On this week’s episode of the Joy of Football Podcast, Neil and Martin discuss a LOT of Crystal Palace and their FA Cup triumph! We start with ‘One Trophy Wonders’ all about teams (such as Palace) who have won one trophy, and what it means for their history. Next, it’s 'Explain That...' which centres on clubs who have previously had back-to-back relegations from the top flight. Then 'The Way We Were', which dives into Nottingham Forest European qualification and history. Martin’s Letter from the Gantry is fixated on Goodison’s farewell and how it proves (along with Crystal Palace at Wembley), just how important fans are. And we finish with our usual ‘Three of the Best’.
