FC United of Manchester vs Buxton (12/10/2019)
Where were you when we were getting high?
It's here. Audio proof of our trip up north. Complete with gravelly voices after our Big Night Out and a rejuvenated understanding of old Oasis lyrics. We sing. We talk. Gus gets angry at Sean unnecessarily because he has a headache. Etc.
We loved Manchester. And we loved FC United and its community focus. This episode talks about all of that, and also:
- Non-league Day (it was non-league day when we went)
- Whether Goldeneye was shit or not
- The absence of pottery theory in Sean's pottery evening class
PLUS! QUIZ! OF COURSE.
Also, a shout out to the wonderful Malcolms club at the match, and the great band they had on: The Stanleys (http://www.stanleysband.co.uk/)

FC Romania: The Power of Mutu (Who Do?)
FC Romania vs Barking (21/9/2019)
Bine ati venit!
First, I'd like to start with an apology. During the quiz in this episode, I boast about my question writing abilities due to a 'clever' ham-related reference. Unfortunately, this was incorrect. There is no Sorrento ham. Instead, obviously, it is Serrano ham. This was an extremely foolish mistake that I would not normally make, and I presume was a punishment forced upon me by some form of deity due to my audacious boasting. I will try to learn from this setback and pick and choose my boasting more carefully in future.
(Also, apologies for how late this episode is)
Apart from that abomination (which I trust we can now leave behind us), this episode covers the joys of seeing FC Romania at Theobalds Lane (home of Cheshunt FC) - a stadium that has an absolutely beautiful concrete stand.
We also cover:
- Discussion of Romanian football
- An explanation of how PO Boxes work
- Whether it is harder to score a free kick under or over a wall
- A special edition burger
Plus jam-making tips.
Se bucura!

Redhill FC: Horsegait
Redhill vs Ascot United (17/8/2019)
On this episode we discover that Sean actually knows a lot about horses. Particularly their movement. We also discuss what happens when you shout 'Redhill!' at a football match and give some background to the football club itself. There are TWO QUIZZES (one taken at speed) and there is general chatter about:
- Difference in quality between non-league and professional football
- The amount of cows there would be in the world if everyone become vegan
- Putting crows to work making drills for retail purposes
- The Sino-Japanese war
- Our favourite teletext pages
Also, find out the punchline of the age-old joke: How many members of Chumbawamba does it take to change a lightbulb?
