2025 Review: Silverware celebrations, deadline day signings and how Thierry Henry saved Christmas!

In a Dispatch audio exclusive, Josh James is joined by stand-in co-host and friend of the podcast Emma Holbrook to look back on a memorable 2025 across both the men’s and women’s teams. Josh and Emma dive into their stats spreadsheets to pick out the standout moments from the calendar year. From Real Madrid ties for both sides in the Champions League, to the women’s incredible celebrations in Europe and their crowning as Club of the Year at the Ballon d’Or, there was no shortage of highlights to choose from. We also go behind the scenes on some of the biggest stories of the year, including the signing of Eberechi Eze and Ian Wright’s interview with him, deadline day arrival Chloe Kelly, Gyokeres joining while on tour in Singapore, and Olivia Smith becoming a record signing for the women’s team as Declan Rice stepped in to conduct her first interview. There is also time for Josh to explain how Thierry Henry saved Christmas, plus a look ahead to the women’s involvement in the first ever FIFA Champions Cup in 2026.
