The J-Talk Podcast

Once again, the JTET team assemble to look back on the latest action from J2 & J3.

To review last weekend's slate of J2 fixtures, Jon was joined by Sean Carroll. The boys discussed the complication relegation picture in the second tier (focusing in particular on a crazy game between Sagamihara and Mito), and the (seemingly much more straightforward) promotion race.

As usual, 'Magic' Mike Innes is on hand for all of the latest J3 news (including a stonking 9-goal thriller) in 'J-Talk: Short Corner'.

Enjoy the show!

After another goal-filled weekend in the top flight, Sam and Ben reconvene to review all of the J1 Matchday 31 action.

We begin with the top two looking slightly off-colour, but still doing enough to win their respective games, before moving on to a bumper weekend in the #RelegationDogfight, which saw four of the bottom six win (Part 1 runs to 39:05).

Then we run through the rest of the games leaving the best, or at least highest-scoring games 'til last - though Urawa and Gamba Osaka supporters would probably argue with that designation!

The boys are back in town to review another action-packed weekend from J2 & J3.

Joining Jon to look back over J2 Round 31 (including a bad day for the match officials at Matsumoto) was Jonny Nicol (@BlogGamba on Twitter). 

Meanwhile, all of the latest J3 news is covered by 'Magic' Mike Innes in 'J-Talk: Short Corner'.

Hope everyone enjoys the show!

P.S. The managerial changes at Yamaguchi (J2) and Imabari (J3) came up after recording, so they will be discussed in more detail next week!

What a week of top flight action! Kawasaki won at the death twice in five days to re-establish a comfortable buffer at the top, after Yokohama F.Marinos dropped two points late on against city rivals Yokohama FC on Saturday. We begin Part 1 with the top two (to 20:35), and then move on to the Relegation Dogfight, which further tightened after Tokushima's last gasp win at Sendai (to 27:07).

Later in Part 2 we round up the results for the teams still in the hunt for third, and review the rest of the Matchday 30 fixtures, before looking ahead to the weekend's slate.

The team are back in town to bring you up to date with all of the latest news from J2 & J3!

For the second week running, Stuart Smith joined Jon Steele to look over the big news stories from J2. 

Back and banging after a short holiday, 'Magic' Mike Innes is back on J3 duty in the 'J-Talk: Short Corner' segment.

Hope everyone enjoys the show!

Jonny Nicol joined Ben to run through all of the games, and major talking points from the weekend's J1 Matchday 29.

After beginning with the results and performances of their respective teams, Gamba Osaka and FC Tokyo (to 15:20), attention is then turned to the top of the table, and in the see-sawing battle between Kawasaki and Yokohama F.Marinos its advantage Frontale again (to 34:35).

Then the battle for third and the relegation dogfight are covered in detail as the remainder of the games are reviewed (to 1:03:40), before a look ahead to midweek action and the weekend's Matchday 30 (to 1:08:00), before some bonus Gamba content as we try to make sense of a lost season for the black and blue half of Osaka.

Slightly later than usual, the JTET team are back to bring you up to date with all the latest J2 & J3 news.

This week, Jon & Stuart run through all of the key points from last weekend's J2 fixtures (Round 29 of the season). 

After that, Jon makes a brief cameo to wrap up the two rearranged J2 games from midweek (Round 25).

With 'Magic' Mike Innes taking a well-earned holiday this week, Jon goes for the hat-trick by standing in as the host of 'J-Talk: Short Corner', and reviewing all of the J3 action from Round 18 as well. 

Come back soon, Mike - Jon misses his sleep! 

Hope everyone enjoys the show!

On this week's episode we welcome Dan Orlowitz back to the pod to recap his terrific experiences at the Olympics and Paralympics, and also to chat about the long-awaited first matchweek of the WE League, before we finish Part 1 by discussing Yuto Nagatomo's return to FC Tokyo (to 49:26).

Then in Part 2 we review all nine games from the top flight weekend.

JTET is back for another comprehensive review of the latest J2 & J3 action! 

This week, Jon was joined by James Taylor (@kanazawadreamin on Twitter) to look back on Round 28 in the second tier (plus a rearranged game from Round 25), with 'Magic' Mike Innes bringing you up to date with a review of J3 Round 17 in 'J-Talk: Short Corner'. 

Happy listening!

No sugar coating things here - Japan were poor in their latest World Cup qualifiers, and Scott McIntyre guests for a discussion on some of the problems the Samurai Blue are having under Hajime Moriyasu, while we also touch on Japan's next two opponents, Saudi Arabia and Australia (to 35:05).

Then we return to domestic matters, firstly rounding up the Levain Cup quarter finals, then moving on to discuss the run-in at both the top and bottom of J1.
