    Ten Hag Hooked & England In A Spin - Ep.12

    Sackings and spin. It's been a busy week. We sink our teeth into the news that the Manchester United manager, Eric ten Hag, has been sacked, which means one of our predictions has come true! Well done Jon... We also discuss the state of flux England found themselves in at the end of the Pakistan series thanks to two spin bowlers whose names we can't remember. Ash levels our expectations for the new white ball series too. Ash also gives us an update on how things are looking in the West Cornwall Premier League.

    It's Tuchel Time - Ep.11

    We're back! Thomas Tuchel is the new England manager and we breakdown the important questions, such as, "will he sing the national anthem?" And is our anthem, to quote Tuchel, "moving?" We look at England's encounter with Pakistan in the cricket and try to work out who Ben Stokes would be if he were a footballer. Alfie also gives Ben a great breakdown on what a flat pitch is. It's just that... Flat. We round up the episode by returning to the Premier League and checking in on our FPL teams.

    Hello Football My Old Friend - Ep.8

    The Summer of Sport continues and we are all over it. We say goodbye to the Olympics and discuss the bizarre closing ceremony and we say hello to the Premier League.  It wouldn't be an episode without us getting our cojones out and this one is no different. We make our bold predictions for who's winning the league and who's coming in the top four. We pick who will be relegated and which manager is going to get the chop first. We also make horse noises when find it hard to give real answers. The Premier League. It's good to have you back.
