Episode 41 – Wembley Beckons
Football! The boys return to talk all things play-offs, but are emotionally drained (and a little bit more in love with football) after a truly amazing end to the Premier League season. One of West Ham or Blackpool will be back in the Premier League next season, after both came through in their Championship play-off semi finals this week. We preview next Saturday’s big game at Wembley and the key men involved. We also discuss the ‘rebranding’ of Cardiff City and are joined by Hull City blogger Rick Skelton to discuss the departures of Nick Barmby and Adam Pearson from the KC…
What’s a better word than disappointment?
Well, success would be nice! But honestly– with Scunthorpe United finishing 18th post-relegation, labelling our season a “success” would be violating the Trades Descriptions Act. To be avoided if possible! [...]
Stunted Progress for Walsall
Walsall’s final day away win at Milton Keynes Dons meant they finished the season on 50 points – the usual ‘magic’ number required for safety from relegation. In reality though, a total of 44 points would have kept the Saddlers up this season….
Same man, same result, 33 years apart
33 years ago this month, Graham Turner was celebrating a Football League Third Division win in his very first season in management as player-manager of Shrewsbury Town….
PAOLO DI CANIOOOOO!
On May 23rd 2011, the new Swindon Town manager Paolo Di Canio said he “was close to signed Lionel Messi”. In hindsight, he’s had the kind of season you can’t help but be impressed by – lighting up every game he’s been part of, appearing to be several steps ahead of the opposition and gained even more admirers than he already had.
And Lionel Messi has had quite a good season too…
An excellent first season at the Amex
Well, the play-off dream didn’t happen after all. After tempting fate by checking the play-off dates ahead of my last blog, Albion failed to win another game all season, ending [...]

Ep. 40 – Project Promotion (The Trilogy)
So much to pack in this week! The boys begin by looking back at a magnificent season for Sheffield Wednesday, after the Owls sealed promotion to the Championship with a win over Wycombe. Carl Mullooly, Wednesday blogger for skysports.com and ‘wednesdayite’ is on the line to tell us all about pipping Sheffield United to second, and the atmopshere in front of 38,000 at Hillsborough on Saturday. Elsewhere in League One we preview Stevenage vs Sheffield United and MK Dons vs Huddersfield in the play-offs, plus review our early season predictions…
And we’re up!
Whatever happens to Scott Neilson this summer, whether he’s offered a new contract or leaves, he will be forever remembered as the player who scored the goal that sent us [...]
