The international break gave us no respite from the ridiculous side show of football funny and we bring it all to you here in a commute size package of nonsense. This week we ponder the future of Anglo-Saxon Soccer, look ahead to the world cup with the smartest guy on the planet, ask Rooney how he likes his pasta, find a real hero on Wearside and wonder if the artist they used for Ronaldo's statue was any relation to the girl from Lionel Richie's Hello video #StephenHawking #Ronaldo #MadeiraAirport #Sloth #Goonies #WorldCup #48teams #Soccer #Sunderland #Syria #Russia #Pasta Find more episodes like this at www.ontheleftside.co.uk and get in touch on twitter @ontheleftside

On The Left Side is off skipping through the bluebell fields of football satire once again, only stopping to smell the funny side of the beautiful game. This week we feel the reverberations of Barcelona’s epic comeback against Paris Saint Germain, look at the darkness that lies in the greatest of footballing minds and watch as another England team crashed out of Europe.

This week's show is all about letters: Jim pens what turns into an awkward love letter to Ibrahimovic; we try and keep it together as we read Claudio's goodbye; footballers spit letters as they try to destroy Grime; and we re-write words and letters on the internet to make it a nicer place for Robbie Savage to visit. #IndianaJones #zlatan #Ibrahimovic #MUFC #BigSam #ClaudioRanieri #LCFC #Schmeical #RoyHogdson #Grime #Stormzy #RayParlour #ThibaultCortouis #Rap #Chelsea #Twitter

Whoa! Claudio has gone… sacked by Leicester City. ANYTHING can happen in football and when it does you can be sure that On The Left Side will cover it in football funny. This week we talk about Ranieri’s departure, explore our journalistic youth system and tear though the Champions League like Bayern tore through Arsenal. Anything else? Oh yeah, there was a man eating a pie too.

This week on the show FULL of football funny we watch the Champions League tear apart reputations ("Wenger Out" anyone), wonder exactly what an "Unethical Hair Cut" is, and try to work out exactly what they're smoking up in Scotland.

This week we saw Transfer Deadline Day come and go without anything very interesting happening and so why not TRANSFER your boring old football podcast for a weekly dose of football funny… On this weeks Alternative Football Show we draw a line under the whole Dimitri Payet thing, encourage Pep, Jose & Jurgen to calm down a bit and meet a man who hides in a bush. Plus, we pay tribute to the legend that is Peter Crouch, not for his football but for his quick witted comedy brain. Enjoy. #Crouch100 #Pep #WaterMelon #Bushwatch #Jose #Klopp

Are we about to see ambulance chasers targeting football? There's an ill wind blowing around Anfield, while Arsene Wenger could become the next big Hollywood Star... and could we do a worse job of our accents? #RodStewart #SFA #InjuryClaim #HullCity #RyanMason #RachelPeters #AndyCarroll #Whiplash #JurgenKlopp #Wind #LFC #Arsenal #GuyRitchie #NottsCounty #JohnSheridan #DangerousGame #BBC5Live #MUFC #BallBoys #Sunderland
