Welcome to the pilot episode of Football Is Nice with me, Russell Brand, and my co-host and producer Gareth Roy. This is the debut episode, meandering in parts but full of heart, wit and sharp observations like football is nice.

During these 90 minutes you might discover:

We like streakers. Gareth offended Mark Noble. Fans are nice. Hearing Sweet Caroline is painful for Russell. Steve Bruce's writings. Thoughts Jack Grealish’s general hotness. Full circles.

Please join us every Wednesday - we would love it if you could subscribe and leave us a review too!
