Welcome to the Technical Area, your weekly FM podcast brought to you by Gaffer Graemo.
This week, we're exploring the Dark Arts of Anti-Fútbol, touching on the cynical origins of Vélez & Estudiantes and how Simeone is taking over with his take on the style.

As Lockdown restrictions in Ireland ease and Summer resumes, my time to record the podcast will be curbed. Episodes may appear irregularly and be for shorter sessions, but my commitment to the podcast will continue, and your patience and support over the past number of months has been greatly appreciated and will be going forward over the Summer period
