SPM 114: Are trophies only for ego? - a podcast by Rory Smith, Andy Hinchcliffe, Steve Wyeth, Hugh Ferris

The latest Set Piece Menu: the podcast where a presenter, writer, commentator & pundit talk football over food.

The football: why has the FA Cup lost its prestige among Premier League clubs? Inspired by Mauricio Pochettino's belief that domestic cup success would be little more than an ego-trip, we discuss if the Spurs manager is right, or if a trophy is still more important than the longer-term benefits of consistent Champions League football. And Chinch provides a Soccer Story about Hard Men, a breed of player he most certainly was not.

The food: Steven provides cheese, biscuits & cured meats, but needs help with the presentation, and the sourcing of chutney. Plus, chocolate chip muffins, because, well why not?
