Fozcast - The Ben Foster Podcast

This week on the Fozcast, we’re joined by Millwall and New Zealand goalkeeper Max Crocombe! 🧤

Max has had a pretty crazy career… most of his contracts have been on a one-year basis, so we talk about what that feeling is like, the travel and how he balances family life. We also chat about his pride in representing his country New Zealand - although the travel times can be tough… 😅

We get into:

✈️ 20+ hour flights and how he avoids jet lag

🌎 Playing in places like Tahiti, Samoa and Vanuatu

🏆 New Zealand’s Chances at the World Cup

🧤 The moment Emi Martínez REPLACED him in goal…

We have a special midweek Football Fill-In for you and a lot has gone on since the weekend… 😬

Not one but TWO managerial sackings, as we wave goodbye to Thomas Frank and Sean Dyche from the Premier League for now. The big question is, was those sackings the right decisions from the clubs?

As usual, we talk about all of the results which happened in this midweek special and round it off with a quiz!

There’s no FFI next week due to the FA Cup, so we will be back on February 23!

There was a CONTROVERSIAL VAR call between Liverpool and Manchester City which is our main talking point this week…

Ben is joined by Tom, Watto and Ben Tozer to reflect on this week's Premier League action, where City came from behind to win 2-1 at Anfield and ramp up the heat on Arsenal.

Mikel Arteta’s side maintained their 6-point lead at the top after a BIG 3-0 win against Sunderland and Michael Carrick made it four wins in a row at Manchester United to heap the pressure on Thomas Frank at Spurs.

Plus, is Cole Palmer BACK?! The lads discuss just that, after his hat-trick fired Chelsea to victory at bottom side Wolves…

And of course there is a return of the Quiz!
