Due to holidays, Oasis fever and being too bloody busy, we've got another special episode from the archives for you. At Hotel MUNDIAL, our week-long event during the start of EUROs, we sat down with our mates Statman Dave and Flo Lloyd-Hughes for our series of talks, 'Home and Away, Near and Far', in partnership with Marriott Bonvoy. In the first half of this episode, Statman Dave talks about living with James Bird at university, why he ended up in Dresden because of Football Manager, and watching Manchester United at home and abroad. In the second part, Seb White chats with Flo Lloyd-Hughes about the joys of Loftus Road, planning the perfect away day, and why Manchester is the perfect football city. There’s that and so much more in the following chats that will absolutely remind you why you love football.
