Mark Chapman and former Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha are joined by Statman Dave as well as former Premier League and United States goalkeeper, Brad Friedel.

Brad and Nedum reflect on their previous experiences, including a ploy to wind up Sir Alex Ferguson! Plus, Brad discusses the state of US soccer and whether more quality is needed in the MLS. We also discuss Newcastle’s current form, and the importance of sporting directors. How pivotal are they to a club’s success?
