  • Episode 5: Boxed In
    Jamie and Martin get meta in this episode of The 3rd Circle as our ever-intrepid hosts try to sketch a more detailed outline of the dominant tactical paradigm.Could it be that the reality we perceive as real is nothing more than a simulation? Are we all living in a box?If we are, what is its nature? Why are we living in it? How might we escape?The 3rd Circle offers up philosophical musings from Jean Baudrillard, Gilles Deleuze and Richard Rorty as we wander like nomads across football's own Desert Of The Real.No stone is left unturned and no assumption is left unquestioned as we attempt to understand why football tactics might be about to undergo a fundamental paradigm shift.

  • Episode 4: Identity Crisis
    It's who we are, mate. So, who are you? Who are we? Who made who? Who's next?In this episode, Jamie and Martin tackle one of the most prevalent concepts in contemporary football tactics - Identity.Ralf Rangnick proposed that coaches need a video of the perfect match in their heads, but is this really true?How do pre-defined, idealised models of play cash-out in the real world of playing and coaching?Our hosts fire off on multiple trajectories to explore these questions.How can we integrate aspects as disparate as the Hong Kong Protests, The White Stripes and Cyborgs into a cohesive whole to bring simplification and clarity to the confusion? Or should we even try?Find out for yourself by entering The 3rd Circle. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  • Episode 3: Stillness & Speed
    In perhaps their most complex assignment so far, Jamie and Martin enter The 3rd Circle to interrogate how Time constrains the reality in which football is played.Our hosts find themselves in a race against the clock and must channel their inner Dennis Bergkamps to find ways of progressing through a seemingly endless entanglement of temporal contradictions. So, if you're ready to find out how teddy bears, Jason Statham and The French Revolution all interact to reveal the secrets of football's relationship with Time, just press PLAY on your listening device and get ready to tumble into the spiralling vortex of The 3rd Circle Podcast's tentacular timelines.

  • Episode 2: Equilibrium
    William S Burroughs wrote that "'Never go too far in any direction' is the basic rule on which England is built". Could it be that Burroughs' observation is as pertinent now as it was back when it was written in 1975?Pep Guardiola has alluded to a break in the established norms of the modernised English game. But how can we understand the nature of the different forces that are pushing football beyond the confines of static tactical constraints? Jamie and Martin plunge themselves deep into the zero-gravity chaos of The 3rd Circle to investigate.Find out how aspects like imbalance, collective dribbling, communication systems and the psychology of horror movies all play a part in helping us understand how we can nudge tactical theory and coaching practice into unstable, far-from-equilibrium states.
