The Offside Rule

Hayley McQueen returns to host The Offside Rule (We Get It!) alongside Kait Borsay and Lynsey Hooper in episode 36 of the award-winning podcast, brought to you by Continental Tyres. The PFA Award nominees have been announced, and there's some players noticeable only by their absence, like 21-goal striker Sergio Aguero. We look at the shortlists and give you our winner for each category. Newcastle United finally won their first game under new manager Rafa Benitez, a welcome result on his 56th birthday. We look at some other players and managers that got an extra birthday treat in the form of a winning result for their team. Some have suggested that Claudio Ranieri should be knighted if his Leicester City side win the league, and it's hard to argue the case against it. We put on our crowns, grab our sceptres and dish out some knighthoods of our own!

Sport Magazine editor and author of 'Kicking Off: How Women in Sport Are Changing the Game', Sarah Shephard, is our guest presenter on this week's The Offside Rule (We Get It!), brought to you by Continental Tyres. Leicester City are 5 games away from doing the unthinkable and winning the Premier League; the side currently sit 7 points clear at the top of the tables. Having narrowly avoided relegation last season it's a real-life fairytale, so we reminisce and look at some of our other favourite sides that unexpectedly found themselves in dreamland? Their manager Claudio Ranieri got a little misty-eyed this weekend as his side inched closer to the league title; it's not often we see a manager reach for his hanky, so we give you some of our best examples. Finally, Newcastle United manager Rafa Benitez has said the players he's inherited have a serious mental problem when it comes to away matches. We play psychiatrist and come up with the solutions to Newcastle's away game curse. From voodoo to squirting the players, we've got all of the answers!

Hayley McQueen rejoins Kait Borsay and Lynsey Hooper to present episode 34 of The Offside Rule (We Get It!), brought to you by Continental Tyres. Aston Villa have parted ways with Remi Garde, with many conceding he wasn't a good fit for the club. But have there been any managers who've defied expectations and brought success to their club? We give We all know how money-oriented football is, which is why it's so refreshing for many to see Leicester City at the top of the Premier League. But is there anything money can't buy? Christian Fuchs has been up to his old prankster tricks again with his Leicester City teammates; is he amongst the best pranksters in football? We look at some legendary mischief makers in football...

It's double trouble on The Offside Rule (We Get It!) as Kate Partridge joins Lynsey Hooper to present the award-winning podcast, brought to you by Continental Tyres. All eyes were on England this week, so naturally they've inspired some of our topics. Breakthrough stars like Dele Alli took centre stage in Saturday's match, but they've dominated the news so we turn our attention to rising stars elsewhere. England beat bitter rivals Germany, arguably memorable for a friendly! We look at some of the biggest matches between rivals around the world. Jaws collectively dropped as Harry Redknapp got back into the managerial game...with Jordan. The rumour mill suggests he went for the money - but who else has taken on an unexpected international job, and is it really all about the money? Which manager wouldn't (or couldn't!) even address his players by name?! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Learn more about your ad choices.

Ahead of the new FAWSL season, Chelsea Ladies stalwart Eni Aluko joins Kait Borsay and Lynsey Hooper on The Offside Rule (We Get It!), brought to you by Continental Tyres. The pocket rockets ruled in the Premier League this week as Jermain Defoe, Riyad Mahrez and Leon Britton netted; they may be small in stature but shouldn't be underestimated! We look at some other players who's height doesn't reflect their footballing ability... Roy Hodgson's England's selection has been criticised this week, with many arguing he's overlooked West Ham's English contingent - but is there anyone else he's left out of the squad? We're getting excited about the start of the new FAWSL season, and with lots of new talent set to impress in the league, we look at the close season's best signings.

The original trio are back on The Offside Rule (We Get It!), as Kait Borsay, Lynsey Hooper and Hayley McQueen present episode 31 of the award-winning podcast, brought to you by Continental Tyres. It looks like Roberto Martinez's time at Everton is coming to an end, while Steve McClaren is out of a job. It's time to look at the summer's potential movers and shakers; which Serie A manager could spark a Premier League reshuffle? It was handbags at dawn as Costa and Barry clashed in this weekend's FA Cup tie, with Costa appearing to bite the Everton midfielder. We look at some of the best bust ups in football - including one with actual handbags! New Newcastle United manager Rafa Benitez has a release clause in his contract should the magpies still be relegated (because who could imagine Rafa managing in the Championship?), and it got us thinking about some of the silliest clauses in football; from sheep testicles to all-expenses paid trips, we've got it all!

Mina Rzouki rejoins Kait Borsay and Lynsey Hooper for episode 30 of The Offside Rule (We Get It!), brought to you by Continental Tyres. Rotherham manager Neil Warnock has signed Paddy Kenny for an amazing fifth time - but he's not the only manager to have favourites. We look at other managers who just can't live without certain players - including serial offender Harry Redknapp! As the season continues, a few clubs are finding themselves deeper in trouble; Newcastle United are in crisis with six losses in seven games and speculation around Steve McClaren's future, while Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce said he was going to cry into his wine after his side conceded a late Southampton equaliser. Kait and Lynsey pick out relegation certs from the Premier League, while Mina focuses on the doomed sides across Europe. Finally, in a late ode to Mother's Day, we're going to give some footballing mums some well-deserved praise - including a mum who's dedicated a lot of wall space to her son, and mums who went to great lengths to help their children succeed in the beautiful game.

Hayley McQueen makes a welcome return to The Offside Rule (We Get It!), rejoining Kait Borsay and Lynsey Hooper for episode 29 of the award-winning podcast, brought to you by Continental Tyres. Manchester United youngster Marcus Rashford announced his Premier League debut in style this weekend, scoring twice and setting up a third in their huge win over Arsenal. He's inspired us to look at other youngsters poised to make their Premier League break - we give you our tips for the next big stars... Michael Antonio took inspiration from Homer Simpson, of all people, when celebrating his goal against Sunderland; we've seen many fun and outlandish celebrations, but what have been some of the weirdest inspirations? After penalty drama in the Capital One Cup, we take a look through the history books at some of the golden goals of the competition... and have they been outdone?

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...

Podcast regular Mina Rzouki joins Kait Borsay and Lynsey Hooper for the latest episode of The Offside Rule (We Get It!), brought to you by Continental Tyres. 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? We couldn't have a podcast with European expert Mina without a Europe topic, so we look at 7 days in Europe and tell you some of the best stories from across the continent in the past week, including a special Fernando Torres milestone...

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.

Arsene Wenger is celebrating 20 years managing Arsenal in the Premier League.. he'll outlive Gunnersaurus at this rate.. So in homage to the Premier League's favourite Frenchman, we look at some of the longest-serving managers around Europe.

Two rounds of Premier League games in quick succession have brought about some curious managerial comments - and we dissect some of the most interesting Which top manager has suddenly become more frank and even backtracked on previous comments? Fan chants are an integral part of football, with both the repetitive and the inventive. We give you some of our existing favourites and turn into wordsmiths to create some of our own.

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.

The sporting world is geared up for Sports Personality of the Year this week; but what if it was a football-only nominations? We give you our 12 nominees and fight their corner for the award.

Football presenter Ali Bender joins Kait Borsay and Lynsey Hooper as a guest presenter on this week's The Offside Rule (We Get It!), brought to you by Continental Tyres. Chelsea's woes continue as they lost 1-0 to Bournemouth at the weekend; we finally look at what's gone wrong for Ali's Blues this season - is it Mourinho's meltdowns? Underperforming players? The wind?! As Christmas creeps closer we're feeling festive, so we bring you The Offside Rule Advent Calendar, with treats, players and statistics behind each door. We've all heard of parents naming their children after their favourite footballers, but this week a zoo has named three baby pumas after Barcelona's strikeforce - Messi, Neymar and Suarez. It's not just babies that are named after footballing heroes; we look to Australia and Northumberland where homage has been paid to local heroes in unique ways!

Lynsey Hooper rejoins Kait Borsay and Mina Rzouki for this week's The Offside Rule (We Get It!), brought to you by Continental Tyres. Rio Ferdinand has launched a stinging attack on the quality of English football, as England's 4th place in the Champions League could be lost - but are we really that bad? There have been some standout teams this season, so we give them an end-of-term report card in time for the Christmas break. Diego Costa seems to have had a strop after being an unused sub at the weekend, throwing his bib at manager Mourinho; this got us thinking about some of the best bust-ups in football - who said their former manager was a coward, and why were there fisticuffs at Fiorentina? Here at The Offside Rule, we're big fans of WhatsApp, and we're not the only ones - Luis Suarez uses it to pick up an injured Leo Messi from training, and to motivate his teammates! We have a stab at some of the WhatsApp groups around including footballers - there's teasing, moaning and moral support groups!

Kait Borsay, Hayley McQueen and Mina Rzouki are back to present the award-winning Offside Rule (We Get It!), brought to you by Continental Tyres. Hot off the heels of our Best Football Podcast award at the Football Blogging Awards, we're bringing you the fun football content you know and love. While Kait was in Manchester picking up our award, some of The Offside Rule team were at an Opta quiz, which came with some challenging questions and interesting trivia - certainly one for the stats aficionados! We bring you some of the best bits of trivia from this season - they could come in handy for a future pub quiz! With Jamie Vardy's record-equalling goal at the weekend there's talk of a new golden boot recipient - can Vardy keep it up or will one of the usual suspects like Sergio Aguero swoop in? It's been a dramatic week around Europe, as the Athens derby was cancelled following riots and fireworks from fans, while in Belgium a player relieved himself on the pitch - we look at other weird and wacky reasons for cancelled or delayed football matches - including a mafia granddad!

Mina Rzouki is back to join Kait Borsay and Lynsey Hooper on The Offside Rule (We Get It!), brought to you by Continental Tyres. We're playing Mystic Meg (again!) and telling the four-tunes of the top 4 sides - now that we've seen Chelsea struggle, who could swoop in and steal their place? Here at The Offside Rule, we love a story about a footballer running another business, and we've recently discovered Mathieu Flamini is a secret entrepreneur - his business, GF Biochemicals, could be worth a whopping £20billion. We think he should use it to buy Arsenal, and we look at previous players who've bought clubs to gauge if it would be a successful venture... We think more players should take note from Tammy Abraham and Patrick Roberts to solve an on-pitch dispute - the England under-19 stars played rock, paper, scissors to decide who would take a penalty in their game against Japan. Who else has came up with an inventive idea to solve an on-the-pitch dispute? It seems referees have a lot to answer for...

Hayley McQueen, Kait Borsay and Lynsey Hooper are back for a good old football natter on The Offside Rule (We Get It!), brought to you by Continental Tyres. It's still early days in the season but with Chelsea floundering and the likes of Leicester City flying in the league, we could be looking at some new sides representing England in Europe next season. We look back at some of the most unlikely European successes in recent years, including a team who've changed their name 17 times! In light of Lynsey's house move, we play Renovation Nation with Roy Hodgson's Euro 2016 squad; who would we bring in and who'd get dropped? Finally we go back to the podcast's roots; The Offside Rule (We Get It!) came about following an infamous incident caught off-air between two well-known pundits. We think it's time to get rid of some of the punditing deadwood again and bring in some fresh faces!

We dissect the game and grab Player of the Match Jordan Nobbs for a post-match chat, where she tells us about her topsy-turvy season and trophy joy. We also interview Arsenal teammate Leah Williamson and Notts County Ladies' goalkeeper Carly Telford to get their thoughts on the game. It's been a great competition and we look at the standout players of the tournament. We seldom see a cup final without some drama, and this one was no different as Notts County captain Laura Bassett saw red. We look at some of the most dramatic cup finals, in both the women's and the men's games, over the years.

It's double trouble this week on The Offside Rule (We Get It!), as Hayley McQueen and Kait Borsay team up for episode 12 of the podcast, brought to you by Continental Tyres. October has been a month of managerial dismissals, with eight leaving their jobs in the top four English leagues, including the high profile Premier League departures of Tim Sherwood, Dick Advocaat and Brendan Rodgers. A number of other managers are teetering on the edge, so we look at who might depart in the month of November. FIFA's presidential candidates have been announced, with a notable lack of women and ex-players; but who would we like to see running the world football governing body? Carlo Ancelotti is making the most of his sabbatical from football, and has only gone and got a cameo in next year's Star Trek movie! Will we be hearing "beam me up Ancelotti?" The news got us thinking about footballer cameos on the big and small screen; which Premier League footballer nearly had his own Sky talk show, and who's going to be in the upcoming Entourage film? Finally in the spooky spirit, we give your our best Halloween XI...

Lynsey Hooper and Kait Borsay are joined once again by podcast regular Mina Rzouki for episode 11 of The Offside Rule Podcast (We Get It!) 2015-16, brought to you by Continental Tyres. Cristiano Ronaldo finally surpassed Raul's goal tally to become Real Madrid's all-time top scorer; it was a hard record to beat, so we look at football record holders around the world that won't be beaten any time soon. It was a sombre affair at Everton this week, as legendary manager Howard Kendall sadly passed away. The club's reminiscing got us thinking about some other greats that the modern game is missing and who we'd bring back. Finally we get lyrical after this month's National Poetry day, and write a short poem about how we feel about each of our clubs...

Lynsey Hooper and Kait Borsay are joined once again by podcast regular Mina Rzouki for episode 10 of The Offside Rule Podcast (We Get It!) 2015-16, brought to you by Continental Tyres. 10 is the magic number for more than one reason, as England won all 10 of their Euro 2016 qualifiers. Now, the qualifiers are done and dusted, so we're going to talk home nations, play-offs, the tournament favourite and our dark horse. Northern Ireland captain fittingly Steven Davis scored a brace against Greece to send the team to their first major finals in 30 years, so we look at some of the best current captains. Sue Smith joins us for a round up on the Continental Cup and some good news from the Doncaster Belles. Finally, it seems the whole country is excited by the arrival of the captivating Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool. The Premier League now boasts some of the best managerial personalities in the game; we have a bit of fun and give these managers some real world jobs.

Lynsey Hooper and Kait Borsay are reunited with Hayley McQueen for podcast 9 of The Offside Rule (We Get It!), brought to you by Continental Tyres. Everyone's gossiping about Chelsea's poorest start to a season in 37 years, with Jose Mourinho adamant he's still The Special One. Chelsea have publicly backed their manager, which got us thinking about other big name managers who've struggled, but turned things around with the backing of the club owners. It's not all doom and gloom for Chelsea fans, as Chelsea Ladies clinched the FAWSL 1 title this weekend; we look at the standout moments of the season, while Sue Smith gives us her final round-up of the season and looks ahead to the next Continental Tyres Cup matches. We've heard stories about fans getting snubbed by their footballing heroes, but it's not often we hear about footballers being snubbed. Victor Anichebe recently tweeted about being ignored by two Game of Thrones stars this week; so what happens when other footballers meet their heroes? Which all-time great idolises Mr Bean, and who snubbed Mario Balotelli and his offer of gifts?

Lynsey Hooper, Kait Borsay and regular star guest Mina Rzouki look at the week in football on The Offside Rule (We Get It!). Some of last season's top scorers, including Alexis Sanchez and Harry Kane, finally got their name on the scoresheet over a month into the new season. But are there any other big hitters across Europe who are yet to score? Sir Alex Ferguson has finally released his aptly titled book 'Leading', and got us thinking about other great leaders in football; who can hold a candle to the Manchester United great? Finally, we look to the Rugby World Cup for inspiration - or maybe not - as England made a bad decision in the dying moments of their game against Wales that lost them the game. We give you our best last minute football fails, from own goals to accumulators. A jubilant Sue Smith, buoyed after Doncaster Belles' promotion, is back for another FAWSL round-up, as the title decider goes down to the final weekend...

We're celebrating everything non-league on this week's The Offside Rule (We Get It!) as Lynsey Hooper, Hayley McQueen and Kait Borsay bring you podcast 7 live from Dulwich Hamlet FC as they took on Hampton & Richmond Borough. London's 'hippest' football club didn't disappoint as they played out a feisty 3-3 draw. In the spirit of the upcoming non-league day on 10 October, we look at players who started at the top level before giving something back to grassroots football at the end of their careers, and initiatives from established clubs supporting their local communities and non-league teams. Which club celebrated their 90th anniversary by dishing out 90 good deeds? Sue Smith joins us for another FAWSL round-up - don't miss out!

Hayley McQueen rejoins Kait Borsay and Lynsey Hooper for episode 6 of The Offside Rule (We Get It!). 19-year-old Anthony Martial has been in the headlines all week after scoring on his Manchester United debut against big rivals Liverpool. It's inspired us to think about other standout debuts. Is 4-4-2 officially dead? We discuss the much-maligned formation and look at teams who've had great success with the classic line-up. Barely a day goes by when we don't hear about footballers' astronomical wages, but what about those who've earned just as much money after football? We look at the winemakers, teachers and entrepreneurs who've made their millions after retiring from the beautiful game...don't miss out!

It's double trouble this week on The Offside Rule (We Get It!) as Lynsey Hooper and Kait Borsay bring you all the action from Wembley following England's 2-0 win over Switzerland. There's an exclusive interview with England goalkeeping coach Dave Watson who reveals what Wayne Rooney really thought about having to make a speech after the game. England have progressed through qualification with a 100% record only to be disappointed at the finals; but what's different this time? We dissect England's positives ahead of the tournament in France next year. Elsewhere, veteran striker Didier Drogba scored a hat-trick in his MLS debut, proving there's life in the old Drog yet (see what we did there?) and inspired us to look at other footballing stars who were successful well into their twilight years.

Mina Rzouki makes a welcome return to The Offside Rule (We Get It!) to discuss all things football with Kait Borsay and Lynsey Hooper. The transfer window slammed shut on Tuesday evening, and although it was a quiet deadline day, it's only natural that we dissect the best moves of the summer. As West Ham celebrate an historic win at Anfield, it's been said that the result was bigger than their play-off final victory...really? But it got us thinking about other matches that have been huge for fans despite no silverware to follow. Finally we have a bit of fun in the light of James Milner's Twitter alter-ego, @BoringJamesMilner - which other football stars are certain to send you to sleep?

Kait Borsay and Lynsey Hooper are rejoined by Hayley McQueen for week 3 of The Offside Rule (We Get It!) in 2015-16. The big news of the week is Chelsea's poaching of Pedro, who seemed destined for Manchester United; we look at other high profile hijacked deals. Spoiler alert: Chelsea are repeat offenders! Non-league Dulwich Hamlet has seen their supporter base grow substantially in recent years, becoming the hipster club of England - we go globetrotting and explore cult clubs across the world, including the side with one of the biggest female followings on the planet. Finally, although it's early doors in the season, a number of sides are struggling already - should they be worried about relegation? Are there any managers at risk? Tune in in to find out.

Kait Borsay and Lynsey Hooper are joined by podcast regular Mina Rzouki on episode 2 of The Offside Rule (We Get It!) of 2015-16. We're not finished making our early season predictions, so this week we predict our players to provide the most assists, our top goalscorer and hand out our Golden Glove nominations. Rising up the football leagues is proving ever more prosperous and pays enough to bring back financially floundering clubs back from the brink; we look at clubs who were teetering on disaster but are now on the up. Our Friday nights could be changed forever as the Premier League joins Friday night football and it got us thinking about unusual places, situations of times where we've watched football - the sillier the better!

Next, we've managed to intercept some holiday postcards from our favourite footballing stars; which long-standing, fashion-impaired manager has been in touch? And who's got no birthday presents because they might have fibbed about their age?

It's the final podcast of a great season and Kait Borsay, Lynsey Hooper and Hayley McQueen are back to bring you some of the highlights of the season. There have been some fierce promotion and relegation battles this season, with the Premier League drop decided on the last day of the season - but who will stay up or down, and who will make a quick return to their league? It's been a season of big goodbyes, with the likes of Gerrard, Drogba and Lampard receiving big send-offs, but what about the forgotten farewells of the season? We also look ahead to the summer and address some summer speculation - where will Big Sam go, and who are West Ham ambitiously after?

It's the usual crowd this week on The Offside Rule (We Get It!) as Hayley McQueen rejoins Kait Borsay and Lynsey Hooper to bring you the penultimate episode of the season. Champions Chelsea might not be ending their season in style as they suffered a surprise 3-0 defeat at the hands of West Brom, and it got us thinking about other shockers of the season, including awful facial hair, a new found fondness of a controversial footballer, and a serious case of too much information! Sadio Mané scored the fastest Premier League hat-trick in history against Aston Villa on Saturday, so we take a look at other stand-out hat-tricks. Our final topic is inspired by Steven Gerrard's emotional farewell to Anfield, and we dish out some parting gifts.

Lynsey Hooper and Kait Borsay are joined by podcast regular Mina Rzouki to present episode 36 of The Offside Rule (We Get It!). Poor injury-prone Daniel Sturridge has had a hip operation recently and won't return to training with Liverpool until September, having only made 18 appearances this season.
