Sound of Football Podcast 652 - Losing focus

The BBC is to ditch Football Focus at the end of this season after 52 years on our screens. The decision has come as a surprise to many football fans, especially those who thought it had been taken off air years ago. Was the Saturday lunchtime magazine show's demise simply down to a failure to evolve? Also this week, we look ahead to next month's FA Cup final between Chelsea and Manchester City, which we've now dubbed El Cheatico .
