  • Then puberty hit and everything changed (ep. 18)
    What a week it's been, thankfully the John Cosgrove and Stephen Quinn (or Coz and Oz as they would like to be known as) are in for another episode of The Crafty Rogues.
    First up on the talking points were the sackings: Christmas, Brad Bobley, and Alan Pardew. Cosgrove and his sidekick, Quinno (only kidding Quinno please don't fire me), then jump into the Boxing Day fixtures in the EPL. A plethora of a random news items makes the show before Quinno points out all the predictions John got wrong this year.
    Your emails were answered before another round of Stuff You Should Know takes place. John has a take on all the celebrity deaths and the general bad feeling about 2016. Stephen needs John to finish his sentences before Jurgen Klopp wraps up the show.

  • She was going downtown (ep. 17)
    The boys return this week in very festive moods ready to talk all things EPL and things not EPL as well.
    In reverse-chronological order John Cosgrove and Stephen Quinn discuss the latest action in the EPL. John thinks criminal charges should be brought against Ross Barkley for that tackle in the Merseyside Derby, Quinno makes fun of Arsene Wenger, and Zlatan is a thug but a class footballer so it's alright.
    The boys then dive into a grab bag of soccer news including boring Boxing Day matches, Tevez's MASSIVE new contract, and MLS expansion, sort of. Quinno and John answer your emails, your choice returns, and a great new segment makes it's debut.

  • When someone tells me I'm cute, I think I'm great (ep. 16)
    John Cosgrove returns this week sick after a weekend of imbibement and Stephen returns freezing cold. Well, they both return cold.
    The boys open the show discussing John's weekend, which Stephen played a bit part in, and how the MLS Cup was both a bore and a spectacle. Quinno and Cosgrove then break down a double helping of Premier League action in which Manchester United won two big games, the noisy neighbors got smoked by the Champions, and Robert Snodgrass put on a performance of a lifetime.
    The boys get in the middle of the Klopp/Neville feud. They also briefly discuss that England kit deal, several Chelsea players heading off to China, and have one fairly drawn out segment about foreigners in the Premier League. Shockers happened as Arsenal got screwed in the Champions League draw and Ronaldo won the Ballon d'Or.
    There was a lot of emails about Pepsi GaryCola. Sorry, Pappy Gwaryola. Let's try that again... Pep Guardiola. The boys then decide they don't care about the Europa League and get into a discussion about manners, or rather the lack thereof these days. They end the show with a mixed grab bag of topics.

  • Nobody is more fond of romance than me (ep. 15)
    John Cosgrove opens the show with yet more banter about the struggles of the Australian rugby squad. As you can guess Stephen wasn't a fan of that.
    The boys didn't agree on who dominated the Chelsea/Man City game; scoreline was 3-1 Chelsea you do the math. Both of them proclaimed Alexis Sanchez was irresistible and Zlatan a legend, which is sure to help his ego. Stephen promoted David Moyes to genius status and John agreed with Jose, sort of.
    There were some bad Titanic jokes in the news segment that featured a lot of contract talks before we got to, yet more, transfer rumors. The boys answer your emails and John finishes Stephens sentences. The show wraps taking a quick whip-around the European leagues.
