Bains and SSB go alone this week with Hussey tied up, so Villa is dissected by the pros. Arsenal away is previewed with comedian, podcaster, writer and Gunnerblog creator James McNicholas, and the second half has the odd listener question, the titan's tinder diaries and a bit of an odd breakdown. Same old. COYS. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....
RTR is back to a full compliment to discuss Anderlecht and Bournemouth away. Sam Tighe is on to discuss the Villa game and Sherwood, while the last part is somewhat Seb-centric. COYS.

Despite deciding upon the pod title being shite whilst recording, we went with it anyway. We talk to Michael Dunne from AFC Bournemouth's All Departments podcast about life in the Premier League and fat footballers. Raj is at a Rugby League match or something else northern so you're left with the egotistical elephant bloke and the Prince of Bath. Donations gladly accepted.

It's an old school show with just Hussey and Bains at the mic, with RTR covering all the old topics we used to back in the glory days. James Dutton is back on to talk Liverpool too. #COYS Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sadly just Bains and Stafford-Bloor again, but plenty to sift through. Arsenal in the cup, City at our place, Monaco away and a trip to Swansea all covered, as well as some listener questions. COYS.

It's another Bains and Stafford-Bloor duet this week, live and uninterrupted. With two games each to review and preview, we didn't ask a guest on, with plenty to cover ourselves. Lots of serious football chat for once, which was a bit strange. Might be getting mature now as we head toward our 100th episode....COYS. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost .

Bains and Stafford-Bloor are a man light this week, but manage to discuss all sorts of important and unimportant things between them regardless. There's a Palace fan on too, with Matt from Holmesdale Radio previewing the game, and listener questions aplenty. COYS. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost . Hosted on Acast.

We didn't have anyone on from Sunderland. We didn't have anyone on from Huddersfield either. By we, we mean Jack and Seb, who spend most of the episode just rambling aimlessly about stuff.

International break. Transfer deadline day. Raj is moving house. He doesn't start the pod, but jumps in halfway. High drama all round. We answer loads of your questions as well, for once.Listen.

Having already covered Man Utd in depth, the lads turn their attention to Stoke at home, speaking to TeamTalk blogger Mark Holmes about the club, their growth and the way they've changed over recent years. He's ace. We liked him. There's a short Bake Off quiz for Seb, and plenty of jokes about his advancing years. Listener questions too. COYS. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost .

Experimenting with a quick post-match podcast after the opening day defeat away to Manchester United, we got together and gathered our thoughts about what we'd seen in the immediate aftermath. COYS.

We're a bit all over the place this week, so apologies in advance. Jack has been sidelined by illness, so we're a man light, and our interview with the delightful Musa Okwonga was cruelly stolen away by an odd moment of technological mystery, and we didn't realise until it was too late. Raj and Seb did their best though, discussing pre-season, the squad depth and the new stadium at some length, whilst fielding some listener questions. COYS.

We're back, with a few minor changes and advancements to run you through. We discuss the summer off, the transfer activity and field a good few listener questions.

Better late than never, Hussey, Bains and Stafford-Bloor team up one last time with 2014/15 in mind and bring the season to a close. Are they happy with how it went? Who should die a Game Of Thrones style death? and are post-season commercial tours really all that bad? They discuss all that and more before bowing out with a whimper...COYS.

With the season almost at a close, we forego a lot of the football chat to discuss anything but, it would seem. Hot picks include; Trunk's dodgy ankle, Seb's Cheeky Nando's, Ryan Mason's pass and Mad Max's craziness. Everyone's favourites, Simon and Bally are welcomed back to talk about Everton and Spurs basically being the same club and their love for Steven Gerrard. (Note: Sarcasm isn't always best conveyed in straight text). It's a bumper edition, so strap yourselves in and enjoy the ride, CO...
Hussey, Bains and Stafford-Bloor discuss the Stoke defeat, the Hull game (sort of) and field a shed load of listener questions, ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous. Same as always, really.

Bains and Stafford-Bloor are a man and a guest down, but the show must go on. The double act to end all double acts discuss the Manchester City loss, Eriksen's form, Vertonghen and Rose, Stoke away, and the Super League Dream Team update. This is quite short and to the point for us...try not to get used to it though. COYS. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost . Hosted on Acast.

Hussey, Bains and Stafford-Bloor see out one of the last pods of the season, discussing the draw away to Southampton, and whether or not that was a good result. There's discussion about Ben Davies, Hugo Lloris, and the lads from Typical City come back on to discuss the next game against Man City at home. There's listener questions and the Super League Dream Team update returns #COYS Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more inform...
Hussey, Bains and Stafford-Bloor discuss the Newcastle win, the boycott, Paulinho, Lennon vs Lamela and the rest. Football and general writer of much repute Alex Stewart joined us to talk all things Southampton, so we got a new perspective on Pochettino, Mitchell, their season without them, and the perspective of Spurs from the outside looking in.

Warning: at some point during this podcast, Jack will break his chair so loudly we have no other choice but to laugh at him for ten minutes - you've been warned. No, he didn't really hurt himself.

Not gonna lie, we did our best to avoid much football chat this week. Instead, enjoy Bains, Hussey and Stafford-Bloor delivering another Super League Dream Team update, analysis of House Of Cards, chat of The War, Daniel Powter and fighting off packs of wolves single handedly with nothing but a walking stick to defend yourself.
