Dropped pies: Man City crush Newport County’s FA Cup dream, Wolves get what they need and Millwall march on Feb 18, 2019

Show notes

Newport County, we will miss you. A heroic FA Cup effort against Man City at Rodney Parade ended as it was always going to, but what an effort! It was a cagey weekend in the cup but Millwall gave it the love it deserves, Swansea’s Dan James impressed with his superhuman pace and Ashley Cole returned with a bang (goal).

Elsewhere Portsmouth embarrass themselves, we envision a Mike Dean testimonial and there’s a plea for information about a man who was once the future of law enforcement in Hartlepool.

Delete your account: Man United lose in Europe, Spurs excite and the FA Cup returns Feb 14, 2019

Show notes

A mixed week for English clubs in Europe so far as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s party suffers its first real setback, in fact the party too such a turn he chucked out Alexis Sanchez and Paul Pogba takes himself home. Spurs, on the other hand, are having such a lovely time that if they’re not careful they won’t get their deposit back before they move into the new place.

Looking ahead to an FA Cup weekend we’re keeping an eye out for a cupset as Man City visit the mighty Newport County, and there’s the usual mixture of DNA tests, goal machine Shane Duffy and Luke’s live remixing.

Sorryball: Man City gub Chelsea, Liverpool win in style, and Cardiff get a big three points Feb 11, 2019

Show notes

Hello! We keep ourselves in the studio for close to an hour for the inquest into Chelsea’s awful performance against Man City, also taking the time to run the rule over Spurs’ sneaky title bid and Southampton’s “disaster”.

There are also “words of a non-pacifist nature” in The Old Farm Derby, some speedy subs, unusual diets, and improvised jingles. And fans of Marcus' best mate will also be delighted to hear today's ep also features a guest appearance from Aggy Bagbonlahor.

A busy weekend ahead as Man City and Chelsea face each other - and Mike Dean - in the thigh rubber of the weekend, Liverpool fill up on Imodium as Bournemouth visit and there are foxes in the chicken coop as Leicester visit Spurs.

The Cat Came Back: Sergio Aguero reigns supreme, Wolves impress again, and Michy Batshuayi returns Feb 04, 2019

Show notes

A football packed show (obviously) as we look back at another difficult top six away trip for Arsenal, which Pep Guardiola decided was exactly the time to see which of his players can function out of position, a feline pitch invader causing everyone to make the same joke about Everton’s running, and Wes Craven’s Leeds indulging in that familiar Marcelo Bielsa wobble.

We also give you a peak behind the scenes, perhaps too far behind the scenes in the case of a certain fun fair related anecdote, learn that everyone has a price, and discover a convoluted name for a sausage.

Busy kissing: Newcastle beat Man City, Spurs leave it late, and Chelsea implode Jan 31, 2019

Show notes

Crash, bang, wallop what a title race! Man City and Liverpool drop points, Spurs snatch a win and Chelsea rule themselves out by forgetting how to play football. What a contrast to the previous season.

We look back over all of it and still have time to revel in some rare Geordie joy, learn about the latest developments in the pastime of horse punching and uninformed discussion about the eyes of various animals.
