For the love of the Arsenal: An interview with James Schneider

This week, Tom and Juliet talk to Momentum co-founder and Progressive International comms director James Schneider about his relationship with football, and especially with Arsenal – showcasing his true ambition to become a Gunners tactics YouTuber. They also discussed potential socialist and social democratic reforms to English football, including TV revenue taxes for grassroots sport, and increasing fan ownership, and the relationship between financial precarity and prevailing styles of football. In the News section, we discussed the fallout from Aston Villa’s 2-0 win over Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Europa League and from Mary Earps’ book, David Beckham’s knighthood, a conflict of interest around Labour’s Football Regulator, and the agonising wait to see who will win the inaugural FIFA World Peace Prize. In our football weekends, James is excited about Arsenal, Tom hates international breaks, and Juliet hates everyone involved in running Norwich City.
