Neil continues to enjoy the form and he connection with the players constantly improving and sees us as coming up on the rails, we chat with Mike from Voices of the Vic who on the 80th minute was low but enjoyed (and with the rest of the outstanding away following earned) the last ten minutes, Mike points out that shooting leads to goals even if not directly. Justin says thank you to lots of people and we go through the seasonal 5 word and long form comments. Thank you to everyone who contribute...

Three away wins in a row! IN A ROW!! Here we hear the first part of the fan reaction following a spirited fight back following some substitutions that really swung the game!!! Wendover is cock-a-hoop, Vinnie wonders why we don't start with our better players as in his view Asprilla is the best player we have, Justin calls out the injury record having improved with rotation as playing a pivotal part in the season so far. Rich denies Mrs WFC2 dinner out as we didn't score 5 and asks if Val is a lu...

We finally get to face the Robins whilst the Xmas dinner is still being digested and then we’ll face them again in January – the EFL have some explaining to do. We find out from Dave from the Forever Bristol City Podcast about their season, Nigel Pearson’s departure and how new manager Liam Manning is getting on – the owner and board are scrutinised as Big Nige was jettisoned (again) in a manner that was less than pleasing. We discuss fan zones, Nelson Mandella House, Justins on going hatred of ...

In the second loosly named "specials" for the festive period Justin was somewhat surprised to find out he was facing Hazel in the 2nd semi-final of the Christmas Cup!!

The first part of our Christmas (not very) Special programming sees Carl and Wendover face off for the third time.

Things all go a bit pantomime as we welcome Ian from 4000 Holes podcast to discuss phone holders, away game smash and grabs, inconsistency, reduced playing budgets, Venky’s chicken farmers, Bank of India imposed financial restrictions, team and squad fitness and medical departments (including the very pleasing phrase “perma-crocked”, chastening results, January transfer window prospects, playing young players earlier than might be ideal. We ask how Jon Dahl Tomasson is getting on with the suppor...

Neil joins us from platform 6 of Preston station with a sore leg and way of detecting train stations using sonar it seems! Neil refuses, as ever, to conform and tries to give man of the match to the whole midfield! Despite a lack of sleep, he is full of beans due to the result, the atmosphere and some lovely stewarding at Deepdale and even starts singing at one point before naming “Edo the Truck”! Tim joins us having completed his chaplain duties for Ascot United but enthusing over his other yel...

First part of the mainly unedited fan reaction after arguably the performance of the season away Deepdale coming back from an early goal to run out more than comfortable winners. Sean joins us we start taking a tally of the Away Player of Half Season so far, RichWFC2 takes out Mrs WFC2 for dinner because of the spooky correlation with away wins when he does! Mal, Steve and the nearly banned Mike join us as we find out about how Cheese, Jack Daniels and other assorted items may or may not break a...

Sean joins us and asks if we didn't play rather poorly against a well drilled Ipswich team, not happy with the midfield and Kone especially, Wendover comes on quite philosophical about the result bearing in mind the insistence on playing out from the back? Admiring of some of the Ipswich line up and we discuss a Lou Orns recommended striker currently at Wimbledon, as we start looking towards the window opening in January. Speaking of the window we talk briefly about the departure of the second S...

Pete tries to work out how he feels about the performance and the result whilst Alan and then Charlie come on and accentuate the positives and look longer term, Alex feels that Rajovic does need to give us more in open play and Pete compares him to Hirst of Ipswich who offered an all round game where as Rajovic is simply a goalscorer and if doesn't score does the overall team suffer. Benjamin Bloom and John Parslow join having combined (strangely) to predict the score for Johns Backgammon team i...

We catch up with Ollie from The Butter Pie podcast and hear about Preston's season that started like the clappers but now have 2 wins in 11. The prediction league is worse than ever and John drawing 1-1 is contentiously given a point penalty if the result is 1-1 which mean he will only get 2 points!! It doesn't make any sense to us either but involved the words "secondary roll". Miguel Britos and Tom Finney are compared and contrasted. Jarvis eats all the biscuits and forecasts a Watford away ro...

After many abortive attempts we finally came together last Friday night to get the update on the stewarding from Carlos. We then went through some questions from X/Twitter including club culture, Top Gear, Spice Girls and Wind in the Willows. What actuallyis Mileta Rajovic? Fry Days and Ultimate Fighting Chickens, Yellow Brick Road, murals, mosaics and fan zones, commemorating the Hospital/Club partnership during the pandemic, Hamer vs Bachmann vs the Captains armband, Badly Drawn Watford, Horne...

Neil joins us to tell us that he is pleased with Valerien (who he keeps calling IV!) as he is doing a lot more sorting out than other managers! The use “Go Get’Em Gang “ is used before Justin comes on and confesses to getting up to leave a minute too soon!!! Chris comes on with Sophies choice and brings Hoedt into running for the gold medal purely on the basis of excellent shit-housery having been booed by the Saints fans. Vinnie joins us having gone to Atlanta for a works party and we discover ...

Wendover joins very happy and starts off the Bronze, Silver and Gold medal awards in fine style before realising he forgot Kayembe completely. We then speak to Mrs Wendover who politely turns down our offer of trying to force Greg to cook a meal on the basis of the one meal he tried to cook previously. Stevo joins us from Northern Ireland and forces the improving Northern Ireland International Jamal Lewis towards the bronze medal places before calling out EasyJet for the Orange Luton based organ...

We speak to Benjamin Boom of the Benjamin Bloom Football Channel and Blue Monday podcast about Ipswich Town's season, owner, CEO, Manager and squad and especially left back ahead of the Tractor Boys visiting Vicarage Road - after we have had a a now traditional pop at Luton supporting referee Keith Stroud for no reason at all (other than that he is a Luton supporting referee!). Pete complains about the Ipswich left backs name and then unfairly compares him to Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham - Ben ...

We speak with Fraser from Total Saints Podcast to find out how the Saints have got on after relegation and even more after Nathan Jones!!! Unbeaten in 11 games the South coast side will come to us with confidence and Russell Martins obsession to play possession football in all situations. We discuss top scorer Adam Armstrong, how you replace James Ward Prowse and how Wesley Hoedt got on at St Marys. Fraser recovers from the sensory shock that is the prediction league as Jarvis and Ben throw ever...

Rudy, Alfie and Neil join us for calls and discuss the fine margins that games are decided on, who we would sign or where we would strengthen, Lewis improving, Valerien being the boss and much much more before we get onto some epic 5 word and long form review including alliteration, poems, haikus and everyone offering Pete tech support/sarcasm as his phone had a melt down early in the show! Thank you all to the lurkers, listeners, penalty saving goalkeepers, contributors, Wendover huggers and We...

After some short technical difficulties Pete says that he didn’t think we hit the highs, or the lows of the Norwich game and Rich disagrees calling it the best and most complete 90 minute performance all the better for the quality of the opposition, Uncle Ron joins us to confirm his change of heart in relation to Jake Livermore but sees Hamer’s performance and calmness as a reason why Bachmann should not get the shirt again. John Takanade joins us from Dubai where their winter is not quite Hull ...

Darren joins us from Oz having switched his work from home day in order to watch the game and call in but Darrens wife insisted on coffee and help moving boxes so Darren misses a lot of the action but swears quite superbly to make up for such things! Australia retains the International Sweary Cup and it is now over to other international callers to try to wrestle it away from Darren and crew! Neil confuses Dunkirk with D-Day landings but we got the idea – waves of midfield moving forward aggress...

Wendover explains that Rajovic is the last player picked in the schoolyard to play football outside of the box but the first to picked inside, and then wants Jake Livermore to come round for tea and cotton wool – Mrs Wendover was unavailable for comment. Alan joins us to further discuss “The Rajovic Conundrum” which turns out not to be a Dan Brown book, but the dilemma faced by Val as to who he starts up top, Ashley Barnes comes in for some general slagging off, Blue Cheese Brett inspires a “Swi...

Ant from "To Hull & Back" joins us again and collectively we whinge about pies at award ceremonies and Justin does a passable Liverpool accent! We find out how the Tigers are getting on building under Liam Rosenior and we find out there are other forwards in the Championship who resemble a certain Danish forward! The prediction league goes all cock-eyed again as John reveals a better and poetic dislike of Hull and Jarvis buys a tombola (which Carl wants him docked points for)! Justin complai...

With twitter acting up and Pete's wifi disappearing every 2 minutes here is the second half edit of the fan reaction after the Leicester game which saw a battling defensive display for 75 minutes and then chickens coming home to roost as Dan Bachmann was sent off for a second yellow bringing Jamie Vardy for the penalty that saw the score finish 2-0. A debate then ensues over Dans first yellow card and the difficulties for a goalkeeping captain being booked (his first one) for running out of his ...

We talk to Sam from @the pinkun and compare tales of woe since mirroring each other for a fair few season. Looking forward to the end of the international window we discover how David Wagner is getting on at Carrow Road and how injury to a member of the Weasley family has had a negative impact on the Canaries season. An exit of technical director is just one of the many things we have also experienced but it looks like a crunch game for the East Anglians. The prediction league is its usual trium...

Danny Ion returns to defend the family honour as on a previous post match phone in Carl questioned Becky's use of mayonnaise with Chinese food. Having scored all 5 penalties in his first appearance Danny is determined to vanquish Carl despite seemingly being even more aghast about Becky's condiment combinations!!! Justin asks if the opponent can finish off the other teams penalties, Pete keeps using the word "triumphing" and hoping no notices and Carl staunchly refuses to identify the opposition...

We are joined by “Blue Cheese” Brett Leboff who has delayed his dinner to join us. Brett gets very descriptive of the penalties he and Carl either score or miss! Never one to use 5 words when 5,000 will do - Brett questions the questions, his opponent, and the basis of reality itself. Carl meantime tries to keep his winning streak going before finally comparing himself to a circus bear! Brett also tries to stay in the game longer than possible, Pete loses track of the score along with the will t...
