The podcast is supported by football charity Football Aid. Football Aid is running a text to donate campaign with all proceeds going to support diabetes charities. Please text FOOTY to 70085 to donate £10 (UK only). Omar and Daniel chat about the controversy around Aston Villa players and support staff substituting their teammate Jack Grealish out of their fantasy league team (due to an injury) before the information was publicly available. We also discuss the Leeds-Derby 'Spy-gate' affair and how both topics link to the notion of fair-play, transparency and integrity of the competition.  Alex Harvey and Daniel wrote about this here.
