The Pessimist is back! Back to our full quota of Blue Machine residents, we are back with a pod full of laughs, insight and plenty of discussion on:

• An emphatic win against Shrewsbury Athletic
• Tom's X shenanigans
• A lovely day out to be had in Bristol
• What hurts more - childbirth or a kick in the balls?

We hope you enjoy this one as much as we enjoyed recording it - and we can't wait to be back next week with our Wembley preview!

Thanks as always to our principal sponsor Barrington Decor!

We are back for a listener question special, with the international break coming to a welcome end - and normal pods returning next week. Our resident Pessimist Rob is away in South Africa, so we are again blessed with the dulcet tones of the Cotswolds finest decorating company's head honcho Mr. Hateley (who's too busy to take on any additional work). We cover off:

• How are babies made?
• What do we need to be a success in the Championship?
• A Tom, Zigic & Rowett threesome
• How big is the Midlands?

We would also love our listeners to get in touch and tell us why Tom is turning his Mars Bars upside down in the fridge!

The lads (minus Rob who's on stag duties) are back, with our sponsor Jon from Barrington Decor filling the pessimist's seat, and there's plenty of debate on:

• Big Willy - What's going wrong?
• Was Northampton just a blip?
• Can Ants detect rain?
• Is a sit down wee a treat?

Another fun episode to record, and we hope you enjoy the dulcet tones of the Cotswolds finest decorator in Robs absence!

After having 2 men down last week, The Blue Machine have showed more Bouncebackability than Chris Davies after a defeat. This week we bring you:

• Wycombe, Bolton & Lincoln Reviews
• Why Haven't Snakes Evolved Arms?
• There's Not A Lot To Do In Northampton
• Tom's Best South African Impression
• Will We Lose Again This Season?

A brilliantly fun episode to record, and we hope its just as good a listen. Make the most of Rob and his pessimistic views being in your ears as he's away on stag / work duties the next 2 weeks so you'll have pods full of optimism to look forward to.

Thanks to our sponsor Barrington Decor for their continued support of the pod.

What a week for the Blues! We go in depth on THAT Vertu Trophy Semi-Final win, plus:

• The Select Car Leasing Stadium Farmers Field

• Pessimist V Dykes V Klarer: World Title Fight

As always another episode packed full of laughs, Blues insights and general nonsense - and we promise we won't ramble on as much next time!

Thanks to our Principal Sponsor Barrington Decorators.
