Episode 141: Forest ham
Chelsea vs Newcastle, missives from DH and Peter gets Villa'ed

Episode 139: You have to have the badness so you can have the fun
Pining for the quiet dignity of Diana Ross' penalty kick

Schedules align, just about, for Peter and I to chat about Champions League goings on, look ahead to the big game of the weekend and some OTHER STUFF
Episode 133: That stink doesn't belong to Lars
Are set pieces evil? Who holds the Premier League crisis pillow? Whose stink is it? These and many other questions answered in this week's pod.
Episode 132: United win at Anfield
Breathing space for Amorim, more questions for Liverpool, Ange out and other big subjects.
Episode 131: England's World Cup prospects and the return of Peter's Brain
We chat England, some PL tidbits and we have the majestic return of everyone's favorite quiz: Peter's Brain
Episode 130: Mileage may vary
Are they in crisis? Let's find out! Liverpool, Nottingham Forest, World Cup tickets and Landon Donovan's hair.
Episode 129: Some of it stayed in
Arsenal pass a test, an unwelcome return of ref chat and I ask Peter what is wrong with Americans. Needless to say, the episode is our most heavily edited to date.
Episode 128: Caution, weird subs and hoovering
Caution at the Emirates, United win a game and other wild tales
Episode 127: Thank-y
The long walk from Baku, Pep curiosities and the sack race. The Champions League is back, and so is Peter!
Episode 126: Danny Kelly on Spurs, Levy and life itself
Very special guest time as the wonderful Danny Kelly stops by the resort. We chat Spurs, Levy, and what it all means.
Episode 125: No horses in the pool
Levy leaves! Nunout! Reheated transfer guff! Much to get through with Peter in a predictably bloated episode
Episode 124: The Transfer Deadline No Transfer Pod
When they zig, we zag! Or actually we'll do transfers later in the week. El Moyesy, Villa-woe and shaky City and other stuff here.
Episode 123: The Ambulance Chasers
Friends fear they are talking about Manchester United again
Episode 122: First impressions
Football is happening! It has happened, we saw it happen, so Peter and I discuss what we think we saw. (it's possible I should make more of an effort with this descriptions)
Episode 121: Season preview time!
Podding through illness, thank God for Peter. Come for our dodgy predictions, stay for the ticking clock drama of my voice slowly disintegrating.
Episode 120: 1.5 pivot, Blilly Joel and Peter reads the phone book
The last of these mid-summer, holding pattern pods. Football is coming!
Episode 119: More vague transfer nonsense
Yes! It's still this! Except this episode felt like it was all tangent all the time. Does also include an anecdote with a twist you will not see coming.
Episode 118: Vague transfer nonsense
Yes, it's that time of the year, so that's what we're doing.
Episode 117: Won't somebody think of the Gold Cup?
The World Club Cup is happening, but for various reasons it's not quite doing it for us. Peter brings the American perspective, and we make our worst prediction so far..
Episode 116: Season review with Peter
Peter is back on the pod for belated Europa League final chat, reflections on #AngeOut, and a very painful look back at our very rubbish pre-season predictions.
Episode 115: Transfer talk with Tor Kristian Karlsen
Big names! Big stories! Hot takes! Etc and so on.
Episode 114: Well, at least it's something
Peter and I look ahead to the massively exciting finale of this very memorable Premier League season, as well as the Europa League final. Can you lose 20 games in the league and still have a good season?
Episode 113: Hyped for Nouhou
Pod is back! Peter and I talk CL, there are inevitable complaints about Spurs and United, and we ask the crucial question: Does anyone have Club World Cup fever?
Episode 112: Best young players in the world with Tor-Kristian Karlsen
It's that time of the year again! International man of mystery and giant football brain Tor-Kristian Karlsen stops by the resort to talk about his annual list of the 39 best players in the world aged 21 and under, compiled for ESPN. Top, top content.
Episode 111: Mark the date
A truly landmark occasion for the pod as I make an original point, and we discuss something Peter feels is the most interesting thing we've discussed for quite a long time. Exciting times.
Episode 110: Is the season bad?
Liverpool's title procession continues, there is a rare outbreak of REF CHAT on the resort, and I dare ask Peter the question that really matters: Is the season bad?
Episode 109: Bring back Deuce
Just how bad are the USMNT? Are Norway actually going to qualify for something this time around? And some other stuff
Episode 108: Newcastle win something, Tuchel's first squad, and next season's Forest
Emotional scenes as Saudi-Arabia win their first trophy in English football. We look at teams that could be next season's Forest, and ask the very original question: Are England any good? Big content.
Episode 107: Losing games is bad
This week we drop perhaps our most controversial take ever on the pod: Losing games is, in fact, bad.
Episode 106: The Disgusting Brothers
Peter and I attempt to dissect the weekend's FA Cup action, but quickly get sidetracked into talking about the thing we're trying not to talk about.
Episode 105: The resort from a resort
Lars is on holiday, but is psychologically incapable of switching off entirely (I'm sure that's healthy) so no reason not to pod. Peter does a lot of heaving lifting. FA-cup! Are City good again? Are Liverpool having an actual blip? The inagural MLS jet ski cove! And other things as well!
Episode 104: Transfer window round-up and good vibes at the Emirates
It's all about the vibes as City are pantsed by Arsenal. Also, several transfers happened before the window closed.
Episode 103: Try again. Fail Again. In the exact same way.
Lars runs out of patience, Peter likes Bournemouth, we are all prescribed some Pepid Moyesiola.
Episode 102: Turkish delight with Andy Brassell
"Full stadiums and fans who make you feel like Jesus". I'm in Istanbul with Andy Brassell, who tells us about Ole's most recent wheel, Mourinho being Mourinho, and Galatasaray's Bosporus Galacticos.
Episode 101: The Re-Moysening, and Arsenal anxiety
As loveless marriages are ended, Moyes and Potter are both back on the scene. And what now for Arsenal, after double cup woe?
Episode 100: Ruben rallies, Ange is angry
New year, new pod, and for once Peter gets to talk about Manchester United being... not terrible.
