The latest Set Piece Menu - the podcast where four friends talk football over food. 

The football: Why do so many fans seem so miserable? The team wonders if it's sometimes easier to complain, and if wanting to be right can mean a supporter prefers his club to fail. 

The food: chorizo and pepper omelette from Steve, and glamorous liqueur chocolates from South Africa (well, Joburg airport duty free) from the returning Hugh.

We also reflect on what gives you joy in football, so keep the correspondence coming in:

SPM 52: Why do so many fans seem so miserable?

The football: Can football die? And if so, would football be the reason why? With big clubs attempting to pull the game in one direction, and fans appearing to be resistant to any change whatsoever, is football heading for a potential existential crisis, one that could stretch the relationship between those two sides of the debate to breaking point? Framed in the context of Project Big Picture, pay-per-view Premier League matches, and a potential European Super League, we discuss if football's future might end up being so fractious it becomes self-sabotaging. 

The food: Pepperoni pizza, provided by the soccer story. To reveal any more would be a spoiler...

SPM 201: Can football die?

This is Set Piece Menu - the podcast where four friends talk about football over food. They are together a writer, a commentator, a presenter and a pundit. Rory Smith is the Chief Soccer Correspondent of the New York Times, Steven Wyeth commentates for BT Sport and the BBC's Match Of The Day, Hugh Ferris is a presenter at BBC Sport, and Andy Hinchcliffe is a former England international (seven caps) who is now a pundit for Sky Sports. On each episode they discuss one footballing issue, while digesting a delicious lunch or brunch, and almost never reaching any sort of conclusion.
