48 Shades Of Football

It's Paul's birthday, so the team do their best to ignore it up right until the end and then start to take the piss. Meanwhile football stuff happened.

The boys review last week's FA Cup last 16 matches and look forward to this week's midweek fixtures.

In addition to the usual p/reviews the boys discuss whether they would ever hope for their team to lose in order to get rid of an unpopular manager. Broadcast of this episode was delayed due to technical difficulties in that Stevie forgot he was on editing duties.

The boys look into their crystal balls to preview this weeks round of K-League Classic matches...

The boys brave MERS to squabble about the usual topics and delve into the archives for unused materials from a previous week.

Mark has nightmares as the boys preview the upcoming Women's World Cup in Canada. There are also previews of this weeks K-League games and the Thursday's international friendly with the UAE.

Paul contemplates his life choices while soberly listening to the rest of the team previewing this week's K-League classic and K-League Challenge matches.

You're used to the professional demeanor of the boys but it doesn't always go to plan. Here are a couple of instances where it took a couple of tries to get the slick, professional broadcast that we put out to the world...

In addition to the usual pap, the boys discuss the first managerial casualty of the season and compare to the culture in the UK and also discuss fan culture after a member of the prawn sandwich brigade mistakenly ended up in the Kop at Seoul and didn't like what she saw.

The boys conduct a post mortem of last week's disastrous round of matches in the ACL last 16 and sacrifice a virgin (in other news this will be Mark's last appearance) to the Gods so that one or two Korean teams may make it through.

The boys invite two guests on the show but unfortunately their dulcet tones immediately send one of the guests to sleep. The other guest is the only person who has done any research on the previous week's games and shows up the boys so we have him sent back to England the next day. This is episode 12, I'm sure you know what to expect!

The boys discuss how they think the four Korean teams will do in this week's round of 16 of the Asian Champions League

After a week off the boys are full of energy resulting a bumper episode. Unfortunately, the week off means that have forgotten how to be semi-amateur podcasters and this episode is at the level of Seoul Martyrs. The boys discuss the parts of their trip that are not covered by the "What happens in Japan stays in Japan" confidentiality agreement plus there are the usual p/reviews of this weeks games.

The boys make a mess of previewing the Suwon-Jeonnam cup game and the Eland-Gangwon league game...
