    Pubcast #106: Bog-Standard 

    The boys were back flush with excitement at the morning’s news that yet another Chelsea manager’s career had gone down the drain – that and quality of the toilets in our local boozer. With Mike in the chair downing whisky like an alcoholic, the topics of conversation flowed from overhead kicks to Underhill tackles, via the surreal image of Arsene Wenger being led upstairs on a leash. Other issues this week included:

    • Chelsea manager speculation – Abu Hamza to the Bridge?
    • Norwich are mustard
    • James Beattie scores for Stanley
    • Eddie Howe Bourne again
    • Bayo Akinfenwa banging in the goals
    • Phil Brown’s Hart ache
    • Lee ‘The Tank’ Minshull
    • Gazza conflict in the Middle East
    • A bad review!
    • Some good reviews
    • Raheim Sterling in trouble again
    • Bad boy Bassong
    • Luke McCormick to Truro
    • Snoop Dogg’s Bhoys N the Hood
    • Bruno Fernandes de Souza trial
    • Beckham to the Heart?
    • Champs League reviews and previews
    • @FFDU sponsor Gills left back Joe Martin
    • + lots more!

    Pubcast #104: Hungover Rovers 

    The Pubcasters were in a slightly muted, and largely self-inflicted, mood this week as they discussed what Mike branded as “a quiet week in football”. But even with the odds stacked against them (hangovers, tiredness, no Stuart Hoare) they still managed to pull it out of the bag and deliver their normal mix of jolity, jokes and jibes. The topics under discussion included:

    • Arsenal bottling it at Old Trafford
    • A genuinely naughty “boy”
    • Mancini’s fury as City struggle in Europe
    • FA Cup Update – did Hastings make it through? Will it be AFC Wimbledon vs. MK Dons?
    • Is Falcao finished?
    • Stone Cold Charlie Austin’s “stunning” run of form
    • Crystal Palace top the Championship – Sean gets altitude sickness
    • Modest Cristiano plays down his Ballon D’or chances…
    • Did Mancini really say Balotelli wasn’t great?
    • Big Sam’s misplaced phone
    • The next Scotland manager
    • Melbourne Heart Update
    • And lots more…

    Pubcast #99: Should have gone to Dixons 

    The boys were back in the boozer after a bumper week of footy action, with plenty of thrills and spills on and off the pitch to discuss, including a huge result for one of our pubcasters’ teams – Aston Villa’s creditable point against local rivals WBA. Tune in to find out how long Dan and Mike spent discussing Utd vs Spurs (SPOILER ALERT: about 8 minutes) and whether or not Dan picked Spurs as his performance of the week (SPOILER ALERT: he did). Also on the show:

    • Reaction to the weekend’s games
    • Evra past it?
    • Diving – the national problem
    • Stone Cold Charlie Austin
    • Football league round-up
    • Bullard retires to take up coaching
    • Ballack simply retires
    • Ref Hack’s it and gets arrested
    • How to lose friend and alienate people with Jim Staples
    • Keane out, Keane in?
    • Gaggle of goals from the halfway line
    • Knockaert’s standing scorpion
    • Good boys of the week – Miroslav Klose & Ashley Young
    • Jim takes a bath with John Motson
    • Barton’s Hollywood rap sheet
    • The wind cries Mario
    • The inimitable Zlatan Ibrahimovic
    • Jerome’s Scottish League Round up
    • A dilemma of the Heart

    Pubcast #91: Lend us a Tenor? 

    With the close season starting to wear a bit thin, and just Olympic Football, pre-season friendlies and transfer rumours to keep us going, the Pubcast team were understandably distracted this week – not least by Dan’s striking likeness to a certain deceased Italian opera star! Nevertheless, the boys still managed to find plenty of talking points, including a dubiously named new rising star section (more of which in coming weeks), and Dan’s very own “aria” of expertise – dodgy beards! Also in this week’s show:

    • The various incarnations of the “new Maradona”
    • Mexican wrestling
    • Olympic reaction
    • Usain Bolt’s Theatre of Dreams
    • Good news from Stiliyan Petrov
    • England’s highest ever ranking
    • Kendall Town’s new sponsor
    • Danny Wellbeck’s heroic father
    • Yeovil Town & Playford FC’s naked ambition
    • Violent family days
    • Foul Hajduk Split fan comes clean
    • Senegalese Olympic footballer goes AWOL
    • Dukes of Hazard
    • Ashley Cole winds up Arsenal fans on Twitter
    • Sami Khedira faces the goal
    • AFC back to Wimbledon?
    • Plus plenty more from the boys in the Wharf

      Hi there

      I’m Luke, (don’t worry this isn’t spam, just genuine networking from a fellow football site owner ;) ) I have been a fan of ‘footballpubcast.clubfans’ for a while now and I love the angle and the extent in which you cover our game. Your recent posts have been great! Do the Yeovil players want to tense up a little bit more?? Honestly though, It is sites like yours that actually inspired me to create my own site and so I thought I would let you know of the launch of my recent redesign of theplayersnet.com

      If you are as football mad as me, which you clearly are, and if you like to see new and different perspectives on the game, I’m sure you will be interested in what it has to offer…

      As a former professional player myself (although short lived!) I have created the site not only for fans but one that would also appeal to footballers themselves. My intentions are to simply ‘inspire’ players and fans by providing them with the best content from around the web that gives an informative insight into the world of football, the players, the culture and the lifestyle, all with a bit of player type personality thrown in. It is content like yours that we are looking to cover on our site with plenty of other stuff chucked in there too.

      If you want to check it out you can visit it at http://www.theplayersnet.com

      I hope you like it, and would welcome any feedback good or bad on the new design.

      I just thought I would let you know about it as it is always good to network and build up a relationship with fellow football sites, so that we could perhaps use our sites to benefit each other in the future?

      If you are interested in connecting on LinkedIn with myself or the sites twitter and facebook accounts etc that would be good, and if you are interested in exchanging links or content etc that would also be great!

      Look forward to hearing from you and I hope you like the site!

      Thanks for your time

      Regards

      Luke

    Pubcast #89: Succumbed again… 

    After a week’s enforced hiatus, the pubcasters braved the midday sun at Canary Wharf for a pint and a chat about football. This week we were joined by a pair of Johns as well as well as our good friend Aimee, who was discussing pairs of another kind…

    Despite a distinct lack of actual football, plus a slight technical hitch with our high tech recording equipment (Jim’s phone overheating in the sun), we managed to pack plenty of footy chat into the show, including:

    • Jerome’s team GB performance review
    • Ronaldinho’s costly can of cola
    • Pompey in turmoil
    • Darlington update
    • Darren Fletcher’s future
    • Luka Modric going AWOL
    • Bale banned?
    • QPR’s cunning plan
    • Mirror Fantasy Football
    • Western Sydney Wanderers update (& Adelaide United’s phantom player)
    • Sean’s speech impediment
    • Naughty boys of the week, including Mario Balotelli’s new best mate
    • Michael Owen’s Twitter Q&A & 30p for a pee rant
    • Bangor City’s Les Davies up for European Player of the Year
    • Plus the usual insight and banter you know and tolerate

    Has there ever been a worse week for English teams in the Champions League than this one? My money is still on United and Chelsea to qualify but City look like the unfortunate victims of the group of death. Fairplay to RVP FC, if he reverts to type and picks up an injury though they are in trouble…
