FC United of Manchester vs Buxton (12/10/2019)

Where were you when we were getting high?

It's here. Audio proof of our trip up north. Complete with gravelly voices after our Big Night Out and a rejuvenated understanding of old Oasis lyrics. We sing. We talk. Gus gets angry at Sean unnecessarily because he has a headache. Etc.

We loved Manchester. And we loved FC United and its community focus. This episode talks about all of that, and also:

- Non-league Day (it was non-league day when we went)
- Whether Goldeneye was shit or not
- The absence of pottery theory in Sean's pottery evening class

PLUS! QUIZ! OF COURSE.

Also, a shout out to the wonderful Malcolms club at the match, and the great band they had on: The Stanleys (http://www.stanleysband.co.uk/)

FC Romania vs Barking (21/9/2019)

Bine ati venit!

First, I'd like to start with an apology. During the quiz in this episode, I boast about my question writing abilities due to a 'clever' ham-related reference. Unfortunately, this was incorrect. There is no Sorrento ham. Instead, obviously, it is Serrano ham. This was an extremely foolish mistake that I would not normally make, and I presume was a punishment forced upon me by some form of deity due to my audacious boasting. I will try to learn from this setback and pick and choose my boasting more carefully in future.

(Also, apologies for how late this episode is)

Apart from that abomination (which I trust we can now leave behind us), this episode covers the joys of seeing FC Romania at Theobalds Lane (home of Cheshunt FC) - a stadium that has an absolutely beautiful concrete stand.

We also cover:

- Discussion of Romanian football
- An explanation of how PO Boxes work
- Whether it is harder to score a free kick under or over a wall
- A special edition burger

Plus jam-making tips.

Se bucura!

Redhill vs Ascot United (17/8/2019)

On this episode we discover that Sean actually knows a lot about horses. Particularly their movement. We also discuss what happens when you shout 'Redhill!' at a football match and give some background to the football club itself. There are TWO QUIZZES (one taken at speed) and there is general chatter about:

- Difference in quality between non-league and professional football
- The amount of cows there would be in the world if everyone become vegan
- Putting crows to work making drills for retail purposes
- The Sino-Japanese war
- Our favourite teletext pages

Also, find out the punchline of the age-old joke: How many members of Chumbawamba does it take to change a lightbulb?

Kettering Town vs AFC Telford (3/8/2019)

NEW SEASON! YOUR CHANCE TO WIN A SIGNED HAT!

First game of the new season and excitement was high at Latimer Park, where newly-promoted Kettering Town faced AFC Telford. Sean and Gus were there to soak it all in and to witness a pretty good football match, including a stunning penalty save by the Kettering keeper, Paul "Big Show" White.

This episode touches upon that, and also features:

- The essential guide to saving and scoring penalties
- An assessment of shirt sponsorship in football
- Discussion of Paul Gascoigne's time managing the club

Plus: The latest instalment of the QUIZ! With a new jingle inspired by the hit pop singer, Cher!

Staines Town vs Gosport Borough (20/4/2019)

Aiiiiiiiii. G-Ham and S-Sizzle visit the mean streets of Staines-upon-Thames to watch football, eat pork pies with piccalilli and try on hats. Check it. This episode chats on that, and also:

- The old amateur cup competition, the Coppa Ottorino Barassi
- When is the earliest in a season a team could get relegated
- The home life of assistant referees
- Favourite darts calls

There might also have been a big argument about whether Victoria Coren Mitchell should present QI.

WARNING: The episode features an offensively bad Ali G impression. Apologies to those easily offended.
