2025/10/26

Welcome back to the (late) Last Word, and a chance to re-live those stoppage time shenanigans from Amario Cozier-Duberry that sunk League One leaders Cardiff City. This looked like being a tough podcast to record at one point, with neither side able to muster a shot on target over 90 minutes. We even considered whether Henry Hewitt would have to start reciting the phone book for content. But then with one wave of his magical left boot ACD changed it all, and so we present a packed podcast full of
