Episode 108 - Champagne in a Stella Glass

This week there is no football. Internationals don't count... okay. We discuss champagne, Mo Salah's brother's wedding and get an update on who should stay and who should go. The bet is a live event this week and because it's already happened I can tell you - it didn't win any money. Our Jukebox challenge is in honour of our Scottish players over the years as we celebrate Kieran Tierney making it to the Euros. Support the show...

Episode 106 - John Helped Greece Win Euro 2004

First of all - apologies that due to a headphones mic mishap Matt sounds rather loud and distorted on this episode - Secondly we don't talk about the game on Sunday (much) in protest of pay-per-view. We do a Quickfire John on what else you could spend your £15, We go on a half term Stute-machine time machine as we go 'Back to the Future' and we have a pay-per-view quiz to leave you wondering why John doesn't start a podcast on boxing/wrestling. Oh... and John proves that he h...

Episode 105 – The see you next Tuesday Club

We turn all Coleen Rooney on a rival podcast and see if we can place jokes for them to copy on next week’s pod.

Enjoy! Support the show

We are top of the league say we are top the league!

Episode 99 - Pre-lockdown nostalgia show

Before we locked down, we recorded this podcast unaware that during it, Mikel Arteta was diagnosed with Coronavirus and no football would take place. However, it is one of the funniest episodes ever. We hear an argument which Matt loses spectacularly, the time John won a fancy dress competition dressed as a woman, and talk about the game with West Ham...? Do you remember that game? Did we win? I think we did. Stay home and stay safe and we hope this gives you some fun and laughter in this diffic...
