October 02, 2024 Back Down to Turf
The pod reconvenes for the third time in a week, just minutes after the final whistle at Turf Moor. They reflect on a narrow defeat, discussing squad rotation, substitutions, missed chances, and post-match updates on injuries. Despite the loss, the mood remains positive, as the pod explores the visible progress on the pitch. There’s praise for Rooney’s positive attitude, with Chris sharing a tale into being taught by the man himself about a winning mentality! Attention then shifts to the final game before the international break: Blackburn at home.

September 28, 2024 Friday: 13th
Pretty much the perfect Friday evening is the focus of the first instalment of a two-part weekend release. Attacking intent, defensive resilience, a bit of luck, and some incredible goals. Home Park is bouncing, the manager is smiling, and the team is united, with everyone pulling in an exciting direction. Part 2, a Burnley preview with ESPN Barcelona correspondent Sam Marsden, will follow on Monday.

September 23, 2024 Blank Country
Don’t panic, don’t evangelize – that’s the takeaway from a strong but slightly toothless away performance in the Midlands.

A wide-ranging part 2 covers a former manager’s sacking, the basket case that is the division, a look ahead to a Friday night under the lights, praise for the contractually extended captain, and a word for the competent Assistant Manager.

Finally, a quiz – get your magic 8 balls ready!

September 14, 2024 They’re Eating the (Black) Cats
A euphoric full house pours over another afternoon for the ages. The ultimate game of two halves: first-half relegation certainties replaced by a heroic, never-to-be-forgotten second phase. It was a rollercoaster, Clive.

After reliving the joy, focus turns to individual performances. A strong outing for the new number 1, overall squad depth (winners and losers), an improving midfield, and some validation for a certain Wayne Rooney, all precede shout-outs for Centurion Bali and, of course, club captain Joe Edwards. Next stop, another game against the league leaders.

September 09, 2024 Holiday Rami-fications
The pod returns during the international break to discuss the pros and cons of the rumored week off for the Argyle players, potential goalkeeper injuries, and a tough upcoming run of games (spoiler: it's rather tough!). Mark is joined by Ben from A Love Supreme to preview Saturday’s clash with the Black Cats, and Chris wraps things up with a bumper quiz in part 3.

September 02, 2024 Stokey Cokey
An improved performance but a galling result with the return of Steven Schumacher.

A slow start was followed by an entertaining game and an improved performance, which bodes well for the future but is frustrating in the present. Solid performances—especially from a rejuvenated Adam Randell—raise the question: is it really about being more clinical?

In part two, there is excitement around deadline day and good wishes to those going out on loan. The consensus is that it’s too early to meltdown, with some frustration that not all supporters are in the mood to back the team.

Sticking with the theme, a hokey-cokey signings quiz sends everyone into the international break frustrated but not panicked.

August 26, 2024 Hoops, I Did It Again
Another point gained in difficult circumstances. Standout performances in goal, a world-class strike from a long-serving captain, a lot of heart, and some early loss of composure are judged, on balance, to be signs of progress.

After a brief update from Amos in Blackpool, who gave us the lowdown on our newest recruit, thoughts then turn to other new signings and any more that may come—and go—as the window closes, along with the return of the Helicopter King. Plus, a quick look ahead to another trip to the capital against an in-form Watford.

And—due to popular demand (one request)—the quiz is back. Geddon.

August 19, 2024 It’s Not Right, but Cissokay
Everyone is relieved to discuss a much-improved home performance against Hull. Evidence of the emerging Wazball plan, some strong individual performances from the old guard, and a unique mood inside the ground all feature. The conversation then turns to what could be a busy week of incomings and outgoings, thoughts on the new third kit, and a preview of next weekend’s trip to QPR.

August 11, 2024 Tawny Part at the Owls
A full house gathered for the first game of the season. A desperate search for positives in a depressing display, discussion on the future of Cooper and Whittaker, and what this all means for the cup game and Hull. Sheffing hell.
