Network 10 journalist Michel Cain joins us to discuss the reaction to his interview with Mark Viduka - and some exciting projects he has on the horizon!

In this packed edition of "At Home With FNR" Athos and Ed are joined by Network 10 journalist Michel Cain to discuss the reaction to his interview with Mark Viduka - and some exciting projects he has on the horizon!

Belarus watch, FIFA contemplating five substitutes and what impact will the Starting XI have?

There were two teams he mentioned were in trouble a month ago, and on this episode Dan Orlowitz from The Japan Times returned to the pod with Tosu in serious financial danger. Is it Sayonara Sagan?

Also, the format of the 100th edition of the Emperor's Cup continues to flummox - even in these uncertain times - and we fix the Levain Cup, although it would probably be better if we just got rid.

Join the boys for a wrap-up of the latest news in English football, as well as a look at our Championship Team of the Season!

The first edition of At Home With FNR!

Josh & Lachie wrap up the latest global football news, and inaugurate the FNR movie club with 2009's The Damned United, an acclaimed retelling of Brian Clough's doomed 44 days in charge of Leeds United.

But given the film's historical inaccuracies, should it ever have been made?

Ryan Walters, Matthew Binns and Paul Neat each outline their grand vision for a K League team and are set to let the internet decide who wins the bid to join K League 2 in the virtual worlds of Football Manager and Pro Evolution Soccer. In the first segment, they outline the basic details for Goyang North End FC, Sokcho City, and Sejong Citizen including ownership style (corporate or citizen), why each location was chosen, and name their colors and mascots.

Stadium plans and marketing strategies are outlined in the second segment and includes lamb skewers, a seaside mountain stadium, and "family friendly football" like you've never seen it before. Lastly, they each play Director of Football and hire a manager and two key signings for their first transfer window. All that and more in this edition of the K League United Podcast.

We took an idea/topic/question from a patron, and Stuarts Woodward and Smith were the right men at the right time to handle it, as they joined Sam and Ben to discuss their impressions of, and experiences of interacting with, the active support at their favourite J.League clubs - Yokohama F. Marinos and FC Gifu, respectively.

There are a number of exciting talents emerging in Dutch football at the moment. We at Football-Oranje have decided to profile and rank the top 30 Dutch teens that we think you should be keeping a close eye on.

Ryan Walters, Matthew Binns and Paul Neat are back together again (at a distance) to celebrate five years of K League United. To do so, the three pick a Best XI featuring players from 2015 onwards with just two simple rules: the player has to have played a full twelve months in the league to qualify, and it has to be a 4-4-2 formation. Starting with a somewhat contentious choice for goalkeeper, the three eventually make their way to the back line starting with outside backs, then moving into central defense. In the second segment, they each make a passionate plea for Left Wing while agreeing almost unanimously for every other midfield position. Lastly, the hosts hash out the two options up top with some surprises thrown into the mix.

Chris Hough joins us for a chat about his terrific new Top Ten Stadiums in Japan video on YouTube and then sticks around for our first ever J1 kit draft, as we select our favourite top flight shirts from the 2020 season.

Who put together the best line up of kits? I hope to have some tweets or a website post done very soon with them all laid out, but wanted to get the pod posted as soon as I could.
