Feb 08, 2024

Will is joined by Ian, Joe and Julian for this week's review of a nervous deadline day that saw Tolaj go 100% to Wimbledon, right? Well, another start, another goal and a contract extension means we can enjoy the Swiss striker for the rest of the season.

Jan 11, 2024

Will is joined by Ian, Julian and Joe for this week's panel, discussing their days out at The Hawthorns as Aldershot's cup run was ended by West Brom in clinical fashion - there are shoutouts to M5 service stations along the way too. 

We remark on our favourite FA Cup moments of the run and I blatantly nab a clip/shoutout from a podcast favourite of mine, Gig Pigs with Ivo Graham and Alex Kealy. The former is a Swindon Town fan (who was there that fateful day of the 7-4) and I met him six pints d...
