  • 2022/23 Premier League season preview
    Aug 3 2022

    We are back for the new season with a preview episode, because we are clearly very original. We run through each of the 20 positions and predict who we believe will finish where in the 2022/23 Premier League season. Listen for our grim assessment of Bournemouth's chances, as well as our takes on what should be a juicy season at the top end of the table. Will we get it as wrong as last year? Only time will tell...


    We also make some player award predictions, before Jake enlightens us on his first time watching EFL football on an iFollow stream...

  • Channeling his inner UNICEF
    Jun 20 2022

    Matt is back, and as a result of Mr Three Lions’ return we cover England’s farcical Nations League campaign in more depth. We also have a detailed look at Chelsea, covering their past season, new owner Todd Boehly and what we could expect from him, as well as some potential transfer activity for the Blues. Finally we touch on Sadio Mane’s impending move to Bayern, a feature which admittedly goes a bit haywire.

  • I’m no f***ing wheeler dealer
    Jun 16 2022

    A shorter, and maybe sweeter, episode this week as Jake and Will navigate a Matty-less podcast agenda. We quickly touch on the recent Nations League games where lots of the big teams have struggled to show their best form. Then we move into our main discussion regarding the summer transfer market, covering some confirmed and rumoured moves, offering our thoughts on the various dealings. Finally, we wrap up with a quick discussion on PSG and Mauricio Pochettino as their relationship officially ends.

  • European Mike Dean
    Jun 6 2022

    Our first episode after the club football season rather predictably starts with the international results over the weekend. A happy Welshman discusses Wales’ triumph in qualifying for the 2022 World Cup, whilst concern grows in the England camp after a surprise loss to Hungary. We touch back on the most recent Premier League season with our Worst (or Most Disappointing) XI from the season just gone, before ending on Round 2 of Jake vs Will in their quiz series.

  • Murder on the dancefloor
    May 29 2022

    So, that’s it. The 2021/22 club season has ended with the Champions League and EFL Playoff finals. We touch on both games before forming our own Champions League all time XIs, and also debate the most worthy manager to captain such an elite side. We then move onto a listener suggestion: one player to improve each 2022/23 Premier League team ahead of the summer transfer window. Finally, we end with Round 1 of our ‘losers‘ quiz series between Jake and Will!

  • Lovely monotone voices
    May 16 2022

    This week we start with a look back on the FA Cup final between Chelsea and Liverpool before whizzing over the first legs of the Championship and League Two playoffs. 

    We also make our picks for this listener question: what two past and present players or managers would you like to have a drink with? 

    We then discuss the recently announced Premier League awards shortlists, before ending on our weekly quiz. Can Matty bounce back from last week’s defeat, or will Jake keep his momentum against the defending champ?

    We start with a quick look over Real Betis vs Barcelona, Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur and Hellas Verona vs AC Milan before rounding up the end of season action across the EFL, including a highly dramatic final day in League Two and an apology for recommending that you watch the dross that was the League One play-off semi finals.

    We then tackle another listener topic request in naming our best and worst all time Premier League XI's, with some interesting shouts and debates throughout.
