The Offside Rule 2015/16 Episode 28 Feb 25, 2016

Show notes

It's double trouble this week on The Offside Rule (We Get It!), as Kait Borsay and Lynsey Hooper present episode 28 of the award-winning podcast, brought to you by Continental Tyres. As Arsenal faced Barcelona this week, many have said the Catalan's current squad is arguably their strongest ever, with an unstoppable front three of Messi, Neymar and Suarez. But is there anyone from past squads that would make it into this current one? We bring back some of Barcelona's greats - and there were plenty to choose from! England manager Mark Sampson has announced the squad will be going to the SheBelieves Cup, where Farah Williams and Eni Aluko could reach landmark caps of 150 and 100 respectively. But who in men and women's football have a surprising number of caps? Are there any surprise international stalwarts? Who started their international career at the ripe age of 33? Poor Edin Dzeko hasn't had a great time of it since leaving the Premier League, with his miss this weekend dubbed "miss of the century" - but was it really? We bring you the misses to rival this one, including one that might have cost a Premier League side their first title in years...

Kate Partridge pops in for a good old football chat with Kait Borsay and Lynsey Hooper for episode 27 of The Offside Rule (We Get It!), brought to you by Continental Tyres. In light of Valentines Day (wasn't that a great day of football?), we look at some of the best love-ins in football - and some let downs too! This weekend was one of the biggest in the title chase and fight for the top four, so we revisit our crystal balls and give our current top four predictions. Serial rent-a-gob Vincent Tan has out-done himself, and tried to encourage his Cardiff City side to score more goals...by telling them to act like ugly men with beautiful wives! Has anyone topped that crazy advice? We look at some of the more out-there ways footballing personalities have tried to boost their squad or colleagues...

Leicester City are finally the bookie's favourites to win the Premier League, after a convincing win over all-star Manchester City. We pay homage to the surprise Premier League leaders by giving you some of our best Leicester City facts; where would they be without Jamie Vardy's goal? Much has been made of the Leicester City fan who bet £5 on his team winning the league...at odds of 5000/1; he could leave bookies red-faced, but has this ever happened before?

Ali Bender guest stars alongside Kait Borsay and Lynsey Hooper for the latest episode of The Offside Rule (We Get It!), As the transfer window drew to a close on Monday, we give it one last review and look at phantom transfers - the ones that were tipped to happen but didn't make it over the line. Did any side have a lucky escape rather than losing out? The FA Cup 5th round draw was made on Sunday, but we're not very happy with it and decide to do a bit of tinkering. We give some sides a second chance after they've suffered bad luck or just to give them a little morale boost - including a local Middlesbrough side that suffered a heavy defeat... It's hard to imagine football without social media, so it's not totally surprising to hear that Skype have teamed up with Liverpool, and you can now download an emoji of everyone's favourite manager, Jurgen Klopp! We look at some of the craziest football moments on social media, from an unfortunate fan's name spelled backwards, to a player missing out on playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world.

Lynsey Hooper and Kait Borsay are joined by BeIN Sports' Carrie Brown on this week's episode of The Offside Rule We Get It!), brought to you by Continental Tyres. The Champions League returns soon and the competition is heating up ahead of the knock-out rounds. We get out our crystal balls and pick our competition winners - and those we don't think stand a chance! Injury woes are plaguing teams across the Premier League; so much so that we can make a top XI out of them - so that's exactly what we do! Now, everyone remembers the time Phil Brown marched his Hull City players into the centre of the pitch at half time to give them a good telling off...and he's been at it again. His Southend side lost 4-2 to Swindon so as punishment he locked his players in the dressing room for 2 hours! This inspired us to think about the lengths other managers have gone to in order to turn things around...from banning WAGs to soaking cheese in alcohol, we look at the wacky actions managers have taken.
