Naoki Maeda and Nagoya Grampus ripped up our agenda after a stunning first half display at home against Urawa on Saturday night, Maeda getting plenty of opportunities to practice his Ultraman poses in celebration as Reds were left scratching their heads.

Then (from 15:30) Lionel Piguet returns to the pod to chat a particularly mixed weekend for the three Kansai clubs - after he was pitchside snapping photos for JSoccer Magazine at two of the games - Gamba buoyant after Patric's late, late heroics, Cerezo fail to fire in Tokyo stalemate, and Kobe surprise no one by falling at home to lowly Sendai (to 49:20).

Stuart Woodward joins us next to discuss Yokohama F.Marinos becoming the latest J1 team to be Olunga'd, in a 1-1 draw against Kashiwa at a near capacity (kind of) Nissan Stadium, before (from 1:19:40) Sam and Ben wrap up the other four Matchday 9 results.
