The Gaffer Tapes: Fantasy Football Comedy Podcast

The Gaffers come to you midway through the big Double Gameweek. What we lack in knowledge about final scores, final points and final decisions on retrospective bans, we more than make up for in raising awareness on behalf of the Dildo Community and talking heatedly about personalised mugs. We do, however, prove our worth with some insight into potential Championship players to look out for next season, Ash answers some tricky Blank Gameweek Questions and we round the festivities off with a bonafide G.O.A.T quiz.

The Moon Landing, The Assassination of JFK, Double Gameweek 34. One of the biggest events in the history of big events is finally here… being all big and eventy, and that. It makes-and-breaks seasons and separates the amateurs from the ones who claim they aren’t amateurs in their social media bios. Luckily The Gaffers are here to guarantee you success in the big Double Gameweek of the 2017/18 Season. We discuss what chips you should be using, who you should be picking and where to stick your Triple Captain. There’s also your Social Media questions, a (kind of) on-topic quiz and news of a Big Gaffer Giveaway!

Gameweek 32 has come to an end and so has Alan Pardew’s lengthy, decorated reign at West Brom. The Gaffers discuss the usual movers-and-shakers in last week’s fantasy football and look forward to the upcoming week’s fixtures. There’s a brand new jingle, a very heated debate about diving, an Avocado related conspiracy theory and the return of the notorious quiz ‘Boring Pundit… more like YouTube Fun-Shit’.

Another international break is drawing to a close after the much feared (yet surprisingly high scoring) Blank Gameweek. We look ahead to the upcoming fixtures and the “Big Double Gameweek” on the horizon. There’s a retro World Cup inspired quiz that will be the nostalgia-lovers’s wet dream, Tom gets all uppity about Double Gameweeks and gives himself a social media upgrade live on air. 

The Gaffers are back in the studio to go through a disappointing Gameweek 30 which saw low scores and bad captain choices all round, as well as previewing the much maligned upcoming “Blank” Gameweek and all its potential pitfalls. There’s some cracking social media interactions, another top-notch quiz, and keep an ear out for the door bell… we might have a couple of visitors.

Gameweek 29 is done and dusted and The Gaffers give it a thorough retrospective going-over. Discussion varies from Glenn Murray’s under-appreciation to Arsene Wenger’s overstayed-welcome. For the purists, there’s also the weekly quiz, hotdogs, chipmunks and Ash’s weird fetish for reunited Brothers. That’s Mental!

The FA Cup break is over and the Caraboa Cup lifted, now it’s time to get back to business. The Gaffers return to the studio to review the action from Gameweek 28. We discuss blank gameweek tactics, the use of your remaining chips, Duke Nukem and monks. There’s also one of our favourite quizzes to date and we finally ask the eternal question “Who the goddamn tits is Andy Robertson?”.

In a surprising turn of events, The Gaffers go all serious and knowledgable as we give Gameweek 27 a thorough dissection, discussing this week’s biggest and most impactful players as well as a preview of the upcoming fixtures with a level of maturity that is not always present…then Tom eats some confectionary live on air and Ash gets annoyed. Classic Gaffers. 

Gameweek 26 and the Transfer Window are over, but luckily both are hot topics on this week’s podcast, diluted in equal measures with talk about Chicken Nuggets, fire alarms and farmyard animals. We discuss the annoyance of missing a penalty but scoring on the rebound, whether Bakayoko is actually the worst footballer in the world and, of course, there is a very viral quiz to cap off proceedings.

Big transfers, hattricks, blanks and breaks are the talk of the town this week as The Gaffers navigate their way through the results from Gameweek 24. We have the usual social media questions, a look at the upcoming fixtures for your fantasy football tips, plus a cracking little quiz, jingle and all.
