Football’s social media boycott

Steve Crossman is joined by former Tottenham defender Alan Hutton and broadcaster and The Squad regular Nubaid Haroon for the Sunday preview pod. As football’s social media accounts have fallen silent in a show of solidarity against online abuse, we have a powerful interview with Newcastle manager Steve Bruce who talks about the abuse his family has received online. The team debate whether Arsenal’s struggles in Europe were down to Mikel Arteta overthinking his tactics as they prepare to face Newcastle on Sunday. We hear from Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba on trophies and his friendship with Bruno Fernandes ahead of their eagerly anticipated match with Liverpool at Old Trafford. And there’s an interview with Tottenham’s Son Heung-Min on how hard it is to get over their League Cup final defeat, as they prepare to play Sheffield United on Sunday.
