Episode Libero 104 | Where’s Your Famous Atmosphere? The Premier League’s Sanitised Matchday

0:00 55:18

On today’s episode John Brewin, Jack Pitt-Brooke and James Horncastle try to unpack what exactly we mean when we talk about a ‘good atmosphere’, and whether we are taking a selective view of English football's vibrant year gone by.
