    Pubcast #92: Head-ing Back in Time 

    This week saw the surprise return of Football Pubcast creator and Godfather figure Simon Head, much to the enjoyment of our excitable regulars. There was lot’s to discuss as the build up to Season 2012/13 really kicks in and the post-Olympic focus shifts firmly back to football. The boys give their predictions & opinions for the 10 months ahead which, as ever, include some interesting theories and differences in opinion. There was also an edible gift of questionable quality to welcome Simon back into the fold – see photo above! Also on Show #92…

    • Olympic Final Review and Sean’s golden ticket
    • Van Persie’s failed medical
    • Italians on hunger strike

    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
