With Yokohama F.Marinos continuing to whittle away Kawasaki's buffer at the top of J1, this seemed the perfect time to have Stuart Woodward back on the podcast, and he joins us to chat about the 5-0 shellacking of Sendai on Saturday, and what's been going right during their 12 match unbeaten run. We also discuss another frustrating evening for the champions, who were held to a draw at Hiroshima (to 31:40).

Then in Part 2 we run through the other eight games, including key wins for Tosu, Kobe, Nagoya and Urawa in the hunt for third.
