Former professionals Chris Lumsdon, Skip Boyd and current player Dylan McGeouch have an unfiltered conversation about talking points in football. 

The lads debate England under Thomas Tuchel, whether he deserves to stay in the job or should be sacked, and what went wrong in the World Cup final. 

They also turn their attention to Carlisle United as the non-league season approaches, discussing the challenges ahead, expectations around the club and what supporters can realistically hope for. 

Expect plenty of football nonsense, dressing-room insight, strong opinions and honest takes from three people who know the game inside out

Andy 'Bus Head' Horn returns as a stand in host with more unbelievable football stories, from Carlisle United floods and dressing-room pranks to kit disasters and a memorable moped journey to Burnley on a cold Tuesday night. 

The lads continue to cover the World Cup as England reach the semis as well as hot topics from Posh Crocs to favourite football shirts of all time and everything in-between. 

Expect football nostalgia, plenty of laughs and absolutely no shortage of chaos.

This week World Cup fever continues to grow as the lads review the epic battle of England v Mexico at the Azteca, a stadium that Dylan has played in and he gives us first hand experience of how that altitude really affects you. 

Plenty of other talking points from the tournament including Bellingham, the Trump saga and of course the infamous Harry Kane post match interview which runs the risk of being his World Cup legacy. 

As always, plenty of other stuff discussed from the strength of hotel beer on holiday, away game pre match hotel stories and Dylan's time at Sunderland.

We also learn which of our hosts loves to settle down and watch Gossip Girl over everything else and which one has a slight link to The Gameshow Killer story from Netflix.  

This week the lads continue with their World Cup coverage and rank recent England greats and Scotland's efforts as Lummy's England shirt looks like going into the last 32 unwashed.

Stories include former Sunderland player Asamoah Gyan and his Music Man inspiring the Mackem's to a 5-1 defeat against the Toon, an ex pro getting papped in only his club issued shoes after a night out and find out which host was Mr February in a topless club calendar. 

Also includes a review of Carlisle's latest signings and the one they think has a bit about him to be a huge success for the Blues. 

This week the lads get excited as the World Cup gets underway and they look back at some of their England and Scotland memories, including Lummy's Three Lions snub when the call came. 

Plenty of football stories as usual, including players that moved to WWE, International stars pinching girlfriends and the game's best drinkers.

The lads also talk through the day before their professional debuts and how they felt and Dylan talks about the nerves ahead of delivering a captain's speech in the Celtic huddle.

After a recent run of guest episodes the lads are back together as a three and straight back to what they do best.

Expect stories around which England player slept in the overhead luggage compartment on the flight after a Euro 96 game, World Cup preview and find out which ex Newcastle United player Skip still can't find anything positive to say about and his reasons which include an earring and a pint of P*ss.

Throw in a few reader's stories about anonymous ex players antics and 'the great curry debate' and you've got an episode full of laughs and banter. 

Grant Holt provides his take on Carlisle United in the wake of the dismissal of Mark Hughes

In this episode the lads sit down with former Norwich City captain and Premier League striker Grant Holt to explore one of football's most inspiring journeys.

Grant reflects on his unconventional path through non-league football, balancing work and ambition, overcoming setbacks, and proving that determination can outweigh talent alone.

From early mornings and factory shifts to packed stadiums and Premier League goals, Grant shares the lessons he learned over a career that saw him play across all five of England's professional leagues and come close to an England call up. 

Find out how close he was to his England dream, his favourite manager to play for and the one regret in his career, the club he never got to pull on the shirt for despite four near opportunities. 

An inspirational career and a lesson in never giving up on your dream, one definitely not to be missed.
