It's an epic show this week! After a break for life, there has been so much to get stuck into. The culmination of the title race and a review of all of the other clubs in the league, including the non-battle for the top 4, the relegated three as well as the ongoing Championship race for promotion. There's also a trip to sunny Lisbon, the final standings of the FPL season with our very own Sweeper Podcast Liga champion on everyone's lips and of course....the quiz! What more could you want eh?!

The FA Cup semi finals served up one classic and one instantly forgettable affair as Watford went through to face Manchester City who are in the hunt for the unprecedented quadruple still! Meanwhile, their rivals in the Premier League had a win down on the South Coast, as did Burnley who look to stave off the relegation vulchers. No such joy for Huddersfield who had Leicester entertaining the masses in West Yorkshire. Another big weekend in The Championship and South-West Europe and a safe effor...

It's only the bloody international break and it's been brilliant! England are flying and started the campaign with a 5-0 win over the Czech's at the home of football, Wembley. Elsewhere, the home nations were a mixed bag. Wales got off to a winning start with the new regime under Ryan Giggs, Northern Ireland won 2 from 2, whilst Big Mick's Green Army grabbed their first 3 points, as did Scotland in the second game, this was after going down embarrassingly in Kazakhstan first.

We're back and we're coming in and around your ears! It's a week mixed with the FA Cup and Premier League. Plenty of VAR controversy as ever with unfairness smattered all over the place at Swansea and The Den. Wolves, Watford triumph along with City and Brighton to complete the FA Cup semi final line up. What a treat! In the Premier League, Salah tries his best to keep Liverpool second whilst the ever dependable Jimmy Milner thinks better of those efforts and sinks Fulham who are competing for t...

We're back after nearly a month out of the game and we're bouncing into a red hot title race that's down to two, a fight for the Champions League and a scrap to survive and that's just the Premier League!

We've had a bit of a break and come back not so fresh following a trip to Burnley, but what we have also brought along with us, is a massive sack of football! We've got a couple of rounds of Premier League, where there's very little movement, but plenty of hot topics. We've also had the FA Cup 4th round which had it all and had us asking, how good is the FA Cup still....very good I hear you cry! There's the Championship, Sporting Lisbon and a return to Blockbusters! We can only apologise for the...

What a weekend! Some fun at the top, in the middle and at the bottom of the Premier League. It's a familiar look at the top, however there was plenty of narrative with angry Italians, diving Egyptians and baby stepped Frenchmen. At the bottom, Southampton and Newcastle pick up big wins, Cardiff and Huddersfield struggle with the latter looking to not employ a random man from Wakefield. Very strange goings-on. We've also got a variation of action from across the country with trips to Argos, the S...

Manchester United continue their fine form with a win at Wembley, Fulham lose without conceding a shot on target and Huddersfield can't buy a win and now they have to contend with finding a new manager as David Wagner graciously steps away. There's also impressive performances from Liverpool and Manchester City at the top, Southampton at the bottom and Everton and West Ham stumble across the line in the middle. There is of course the Championship, Portugal and the Quiz! Get Involved! Join Mitche...

We're back already, just 24 hours after the last episode and we're here to bring you the bottom half review and ask the all important questions as to how everyone will beat the drop, what happens if they do and will Fulham concede more goals than ever? We look at what each club needs in January and what their expectations should be. Dare we say it, we may even make some bold predictions along the way......

Happy New Year! It's been an extended break over the festive period, but the boys are back and they are full to the brim with all the trimmings and all of the action!

Yippee Ki Aye football lovers! It's a late one, but it meant we got time to digest the biggest story of the week, no not Burton Albion's rise to glory, big Jose Mourinho settling his Lowry bill. He's gone and with that Solskjaer is in.....for a bit. We've also got Liverpool shining, City and Chelsea are still in there and so are Spurs who laboured to victory under the Wembley arch! There was also a big win for Southampton as Hutch's rabbits came out like they were on the old duracells. We've als...

The Premier League and Championship were back with a bang! We had new manager bounces, some usual suspects at the top and some movers and shakers down the bottom. We also took a pod weekend out down to London to see The Tinkerman defeat The Saints and also the Second City Derby which saw jubilation, frustration and frankly.....disbelief! As well as this, there's the rest of the Premier League round up, the rest of The Championship, a trip to Portugal and a poor showing in the quiz.....again! Get...

How good is the Nations League? It's amazing right?! If you're an England fan, it's been a superb campaign with famous victories over Spain and more recently, to win the group, Croatia. Wembley erupted, the nation collectively sung Three Lions and we look forward to another tournament (kind of) next summer. At least another semi-final! There's also a return to club football this weekend with a preview of the Premier League and The Championship including the TSP trip to London and Birmingham for ...

Back once again with the renegade podcast! That's right ladies and gentlemen, football well and truly happened this weekend and we are all over it! There's Manchester City and the gulf in class over their not so noisy neighbours, there's a continued unbeaten streak for Liverpool and Chelsea and Chaz Austin is not seeing the funny side of life down in Southampton. Newcastle United and Cardiff record wins, whilst Huddersfield fail to get the elusive second win themselves. To add to this we've been...

It's a bumper packed show this week with the dominance at the top, the European Super League and the future of football. We've also got some movement at the bottom as Huddersfield leapfrog Fulham, Newcastle get that elusive first win, however not so much to shout about for Cardiff, Southampton and Crystal Palace.

It's all going off with a tetchy Jose Mourinho returning to a fiesty Stamford Bridge to see his side goaded and deflated, his noisy neighbour is lauding the "beautiful" football, whilst Sean Dyche is having a rightful moan about everything to do with football, but mainly referees. Then there's Neil Warnock, the underdog rising up with a drubbing of Fulham in the heart of Wales. We've also got some 1-0 scorelines, late drama and lovely Roy Hodgson. Not to mention the Championship, the beginning o...

It's international break so there's the annual October mulling over of the England squad and where they are in terms of progression, personnel and personality! Turns out they are way beyond everyone's expectations after a famous win in Seville which followed and impressive, yet eerie experience in Croatia. As well as this, we went to Ossett United for our annual Non-League Day jaunt and we saw it all.....goals, red cards and a fair amount of shouting! Get Involved! Join Mitchell Willis and Micha...

We just about had enough in the tank following the recent live event, but we got stuck in to the football with great gusto and rightly so as there was plenty to go at with Manchester City and Liverpool recording big wins, Burnley coming back from the dead and also our trip to Harrogate Town to watch some National League action and a general discussion on all things non-league. There's also a depressing trip to the Championship, the rest of the Premier League and of course, the quiz! Get Involved...

The top of the league is looking more and more familiar by the day with the Blues (Chelsea and Man City) and Reds (Liverpool and Man United) all impressing, Spurs, Southampton and Burnley not so much. Even an away win for Arsenal gets somewhat overshadowed by N'Golo Kante eating curry though...... There's also the Championship which is starting to take shape with Leeds United destroying football, the quiz is back as ever and there's much excitement for the live event of the year taking place the...

And just like that, international football is back on the menu and it has served up the Nations League. Nobody really knows how it will work, whether it will help anyone or whether or not it is even real! But so far, it seems to be positive, for some at least, perhaps not so much England. We get stuck into all of the fallout and of course some positives too from England's first Nations League game, a defeat to Spain and then the friendly win which followed, where England were victorious (just ab...

Elton John was crocodile rocking at Vicarage Road when his Watford side came from behind to beat Spurs, Chelsea and Liverpool are still standing at the top of the pile, whilst Arsenal win on the road at Cardiff to ensure that the Blues do in fact, fade away.

Football bloody football! It's early doors, but it's exciting already. Whilst Liverpool have won all three games without conceding, Manchester City falter with a draw at Molineux with the excellent Wolverhampton Wanderers. Meanwhile, Chelsea and more surprisingly Watford are also 3 from 3. Fulham are in the goals and Arsenal are up and running, but still not convincing. Whilst we're still deliberating over our European side, the Championship continues and is well and truly in full swing with Bie...
