With a busy start to 2026, it ended up a double bill of games to cover in one episode, intro’d by The Sickbed Kid, as soon as he was half-functioning again, to briefly review a long-awaited home victory over Amex bogey boys Burnley, before handing over the handheld recording duties to our regular Northern ‘Monks’ oop Manchester way for the always daunting visit to The Etihad. And it proved a fruitful and highly entertaining match, extending Albion’s unbeaten run up there to two games and the team’s AND Fabian’s overall unbeaten run against those poor, poverty-stricken urchins to 4 games! It also progresses the team’s current unbeaten PL run onto 3 matches.

Stand or fall!   UTA!  Sorry about the language, Mum!

At last, they’ve done it! Russ and Pete have finally completed the 92, after some delays and with no thanks at all to cup draws, frozen pitches and a lack of convenient rescheduling for TV in recent seasons.

Dragging Russ’s wife along for good measure, they headed up to Barrow-in-Furness for the penultimate ground at Holker Street on the Friday night (19th) before hooking around Morecambe Bay and down to Fleetwood for the big one…Ground 92, at Highbury Stadium on the Saturday.

And seeing as they were out and about and that an unexpected opportunity arose for a Sunday game, they added Brackley to their ‘140 Club’ tally for good measure.

Pete, Russ and Andy Bass in the pod squad this week to review a fairly unremarkable goalless draw at Smellworst Ponk.

Plus a very rare bitching session at Infantino, a look back at the rest of

the PL from the weekend and more gushing praise for the returned king, Adam Hinsh’.
