    Shocking revelations this week as the boys reveal that they both independently decided not to watch the second half of the Man City game because they wanted to mow their lawns instead. Once they’ve done that they talk about Arsenal finally dropping out of the title race and Southampton finally dropping out of the league.

    Gareth Dobson does his best impression of the Spurs team this week and disappears completely. He’s replaced by another lamb to the slaughter, comedian and Tottenham fan Stuart Laws. 

    The pair talk through the weekend’s action, starting with that game at St James’ Park and landing somewhere near the relegation battle. We also hear form football writer and Man Utd fan Sam Pilger who was at Wembley to see his team progress past an impressive Brighton.

    Watch Stu’s comedy special, ‘Stuart Laws is All In’ on YouTube now.

It'll go to penalties

Brit humor and the national sport. What could be better?

Only complaint can be "It's not long enough"

Absolutely fantastic show with a fairly well balanced review of the weekly news of English Football, including both matches and other ancillary football items. Wish they could provide more time to get through more of the weeks matches but I feel they do cover the critical matches of the week.

Koolhand21 ,

Excellent pod on footy issues

Mark and friends provide a fun and funny look at issues in football both club and league. His friends are fans first but also journalists, ex- players and writers with unique perspectives on the best game in the world. One of my favorite weekly listens.
