Ant steps into Jims boots today and looks at the Oumar Niasse situation from many different points of view. All of which seem to come from Phil Neville. And would the manager of Algeria be the miracle the Toffees need? Plus there's a sniff of treason in the air as King Cantona makes eyes at Guardiola, and David Moyes proves he's nothing if not unprepared.   On The Left Side is written and produced by Ant McGinley and Jim Salveson for Abrupt Audio.

The Baggies pull the plug on Tony Pulis, only to realise that he may be just the man they need to keep them up. But could he be about to become a United man? That's a handyman, to take care of all the Manchester Utd first teams, first world problems. But it all sounds just a little bit seedy.

Goals galore this weekend, Tony Pulis should be scared about his job, but despite the everyone acting like it's already happened, he is acting like he's not bothered.  Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba are back for Man United, but was a secret safari at Carrington the reason for the Zlats speedy recovery. Plus Jim bemoans the fact that the future is not what he was promised, and a football remake of James Cameron's Terminator is on the cards. And there's a real-life Specsavers advert from a game in the Bundesliga.

A goalless draw against Brazil was great for Neymar, but he's been crying, as was Buffon after the Italian's drew a blank against Sweden and now they'll be joining the Republic on the couch at home to watch the World Cup in Russia. But have we found a manager that could inspire Scotland to victory, just like William Wallace did in Braveheart?Plus there are puns galore thanks to the unique way in which the BBC are funded.

David Moyes is taking no prisoners with his first press engagements as the new boss of West Ham. Which is probably a good thing, as he's sounding more than a little bit scary. Meanwhile, Gareth Southgate cobbled a team together at the last minute after almost everybody he picked to play for England against Germany got their mum to phone in sick.  Also feeling sick at the moment is Slaven Bilic, and we have an exclusive recording of the calls he's been making to all his old players.

David Moyes is in, Slaven Bilic is out, and Arsene Wenger is angry. Most managers retire by the time they reach their early seventies, but in this episode, we meet a man who kept going and went on to break all records. Seb Keenan speaks to Jim about winning the Champions League no less than seven times in a row, in the future.

There's some good news for everyone who isn't a Sunderland fan, and even good news for sacked manager Simon Grayson. Mick Mcarthy makes us laugh but Roy Keane will probably never be happy. Same goes for Jim if you trample his flowers. He might get angry enough to get on a London Fan TV Channel...

Goodison Park is swimming in job applications from pretty much everyone, including the caretaker manager. It's fair to say that Joey Barton is not a big fan of David Unsworth, no matter how much he tries to hide it. And have we found the worst place to get stitches ever? You may want to sit down as we bring you some shocking injury news from Spain. But don't worry, Jose is here to help you relax.

It’s all balls according to Pep Guardiola, who is in need of a miracle, but not as much as Slaven Bilic who has his head on the West Ham chopping block despite beating Spurs in the cup. And it’s all because he’s too nice. And the Carabao Cup suffers a ‘minor’ technical glitch - but who was really behind it all?

This week we stumble over the freshly slain Ronald Koeman in the killing fields of football, learn how to deal with crap Christmas presents from your relatives, and with one rag plumbing new depths, we ask if journalists know the difference between privacy and secrecy. You can probably work that one out.  It's all in the latest ARIA nominated silly sports show that is #OTLS On The Left Side is written and produced by Ant McGinley and Jim Salveson for Abrupt Audio.
