It's an epic show this week! After a break for life, there has been so much to get stuck into.

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?!

Episode 81 - A Troy of the Rovers type affair at Wembley, gone off Cherries and the Foxes pounce

Episode 81 - A Troy of the Rovers type affair at Wembley, gone off Cherries and the Foxes pounce

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 effort in the quiz.

Episode 80 - Spurs move in as The Cottagers and Terriers pack their bags. Also....TITLE RACE!

Episode 80 - Spurs move in as The Cottagers and Terriers pack their bags. Also....TITLE RACE!

We’ve had loads of games since we last spoke. England are brilliant and won their second game of the qualifying campaign as well as moved up to 4th in the world. Harry Kane and Gareth Southgate have received MBE’s and OBE’s respectively and that’s just international football. We’ve got a thrilling title race, a couple of relegation's and battles for the champions league and premier league places hotting up. Not to mention the Championship, a trip to Portugal, a fantasy football round up and of course a no doubt piss poor show in the quiz!

Episode 79 - Euro 2020 Qualifiers begin, England flourish whilst the neighbours have mixed fortunes

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.

Episode 78 - So VAR, not so good in the FA Cup, Reds return to the summit and Ingerland

Episode 78 - So VAR, not so good in the FA Cup, Reds return to the summit and Ingerland

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 the wooden spoon with Huddersfield thanks to their capitulation down in the capital, that there London. Newcastle have a gone off Cherry to thank, Leicester thanks Big Wes whilst Richarlison hates charity! 

All that and more across Europe, a lively Championship and the 2019 return of future Euro 2020 champions, England Football Club United!

Episode 77 - We're back and it's all go with shootouts, punch ups and a battle royale

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! There's some idiotic antics in the Championship as well as plenty of narrative all the way down the league, whilst Sporting are indifferent in Portugal.

Episode 73 - Goals Goals Goals, Mistaken For Strangers and Argos

Episode 73 - Goals Goals Goals, Mistaken For Strangers and Argos

 

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 Snooker and a trip and a slip at The Valley. As ever, we have a Championship round up, a trip to VARtugal and another cracking quiz!

Episode 72 - Red Devilishly good or lucky, Fulham not so lucky and Wagner all out of luck.

 

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!

Episode 71.2 - Survival Scrapping and the Half Year Reports for the Bottom Half

 

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......

We've also got a round up of the Championship, a quick hop to Lisbon and another round of the quiz!

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!

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......

Episode 55 - International Football is back with the Nations League, England and Gripes

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 about) with a 1-0 victory over the Swiss.

There's also a catch up on other nations, as well as what's been keeping our hosts busy with the lack of football during the international break, sparking discussions of players and how they are treated, wanting to go home after a day with Pep and Wesley Sneijder just chilling.

Episode 42 - End of Season Review Part Uno (The Bottom Half)

Here we are ladies and gentlemen! We present to you the first half of our end of season review. This week we have worked our way from the bottom up, with the help of a few friends...yes that's right, you lot! The fans, the one's who inevitably know more than us and it was a pleasure to recap on what has been a year of turmoil for most with the scrap for relegation involving virtually everyone we covered and there were plenty of talking points, particularly when it came to the managerial merry-go-round. We can't guarantee we were nice about them all (are you listening Pardew?!)

There's also the penultimate quiz of the season and maybe a glimpse of excitement for the first pod outing to Wembley this weekend to watch the Championship Play Off Final!

Oh yeah and we briefly mentioned the FA Cup final, what a waste of time that was eh?!

Episode 40 - It's all but done with The Baggies and Potters gone and The Swans just about flying

It is the penultimate week of the season and with most teams having played two games, it's all but settled now. Stoke were relegated after a loss in front of their own fans, West Brom battled with a win against Spurs, but it wasn't enough and Southampton more or less relegated Swansea in the head to head. Huddersfield shocked everyone picking up points at Stamford Bridge and The Etihad, where Manchester City put on the celebrations for the league win, whilst down the road Manchester United lose at Brighton.

There was also all the action on the final day of The Championship which saw a scrap between 5 clubs to avoid relegation, this was hand in hand with the play off places being occupied and Cardiff and Fulham battling for the automatic promotion place that was available, with The Bluebirds coming out on top seeing Neil Warnock return to the top flight. Who would have thought?!
