The Offside Rule 2016/17 - Episode 5 Oct 13, 2016

Show notes

Lynsey Hooper, Kait Borsay and Hayley McQueen are back to give you an extra football fix during the international break, on The Offside Rule (We Get It!). England has been in the news but for once, not for the shoddy football - the country's jaw dropped when Big Sam lost his job as part of a huge expose. Gareth Southgate is performing admirably so far, but problems run much deep for underperforming England than the managerial situation. So, how do you solve a problem like England? We explore the team's weak points, including mentality and form, and how we can address them. Continuing with the international theme, we've watched a lot of world football in the last week and seen some unlikely names feature. China is becoming an end-of-career payday for Premier League stars, but in which other unexpected leagues have we seen some big names? Finally, Bob Bradley made history this week as the first American to manage in the Premier League, a league that is no stranger to American exports. We look at some of the biggest football trailblazers from the USA, including a World Cup winner and a plethora of goalkeepers!

Show notes

Lynsey Hooper, Kait Borsay and Hayley McQueen are reunited as the terrific trio on episode 4 of The Offside Rule (We Get It!). It's another Offside Rule first as we recorded the podcast LIVE from Soccerex! But if you couldn't tune in live fear not, you can still listen to us chat about the important things, like footballers in strange places...where have we unexpectedly bumped into a player? Who encountered David Beckham, hungover and red-faced? We also look at the players managers can't live without...even if they'd never admit it. Which Premier League flop has resurrected his career and became invaluable to his French side? Finally, we give you some of our 'I almost lost it when...' moments, and read out some of your best tweets. From talking during football to a managerial kiss and Hollywood superstars, we're talking moments that have made you mad or ecstatic!

Kait Borsay returns to join Lynsey Hooper on episode 3 of The Offside Rule (We Get It!) in 2016-17. Marcus Rashford looks to be a key player for Manchester United this season, but it might be from the bench. We know the value of squad players who might not start every game but can't be underestimated, so we give you some of our current greatest super squad players. Now that we've had time to digest this summer's transfer window activities, it's time to have a good look at some of the unknown names that have arrived into the Premier League. Finally, much ado has been made about the near-100 changes to the football rulebook over the summer, so we look at some of the best and silliest new rules...

The Offside Rule 2016/17 Episode 2 Sep 01, 2016

Show notes

It's double trouble once again on The Offside Rule (We Get It!) as Lynsey Hooper returns from Rio to join Hayley McQueen on the podcast. Our Lynsey has been away covering the Olympics, and missed the start of the new season...so it's only fair to give her a pop quiz to find out how much action she's caught so far - play along at home and see how much you remember from the opening games! Eden Hazard has found form again after an anonymous 2015/16 season...but who else has gone missing after having a blinder? This year's transfer window has thrown up some memorable deals like Ibrahimovic to Manchester United, Kante to Chelsea and Perez to Arsenal, but what about the action that's gone under the radar? Which one-club Premier League stalwart has quietly retired? And which Aston Villa mercenary has slipped off to Greece? Find out on The Offside Rule!
