It's a huge TNC episode, so huge that Nick Stoll immediately regretted it.

Across a bumper review special; Joey, Teo, Stoll, and D'Urbano break down the form of every A-Liga Men's after ten games of the season. Who is meeting expectations and who isn't? Why is that the case? What are we rating them out of ten? What do they need to do to improve?

There's also a discussion on the latest surrounding the APL's grand final decision and the protests by active supporter groups (04:24), if the league is fun enough (23:51), and a bit on the A-Liga Belt and TNC's fantasy leagues.

Team Review Timestamps: Melbourne Victory (26:55) | Adelaide United (56:54) | Brisbane Roar (01:05:27) | Western United (01:15:25) | Sydney FC (01:34:00) | Central Coast Mariners (01:50:17) | Western Sydney Wanderers (02:00:20) | Perth Glory (02:06:22 | Wellington Phoenix (02:13:53) | Macarthur FC (02:16:57) | Newcastle Jets (02:29:17) | Melbourne City (02:40:30) 

Thanks and Success. 2023 is going to be a big one.

It's a very thanks and success TNC Christmas Special!

A week on from the violent pitch invasion that forced the abandonment of the Melbourne Derby, Joey Lynch and Teo Pellizzeri discuss its continued fallout and the preliminary sanctions that have been handed down to Melbourne Victory by Football Australia. Do they go too far? Not far enough? And what is to be made of the continued episodes of anti-social behaviour that continues to haunt Victory?

The APL's decision to sell the Grand Final to Sydney has been pushed into the background by the Derby, but consternation continues to emanate from the matter and Joey and Teo discuss it.

Then, Nick D'Urbano jumps on as the boys turn their thoughts to the actual football. Is Steve Corica running out of time at Sydney FC? What's going wrong at the Newcastle Jets in both ALM and ALW? Can anyone stop Melbourne City in the ALW when they get everyone back fit and healthy?

Then, we've got our wishes for what Australian football will have found in its Christmas stocking this year.

Thanks and Success. 2022 has been a heck of a ride, we love you all, and we can't wait for 2023.

And Joey Lynch is the worst person in the world.

The APL's decision to sell the next three A-Liga Hombres and A-Liga Feminina Grand Finals to the New South Wales state government is increasingly threatening to tear the league apart. Fans are at breaking point, boycotts and walkouts are coming, and the league shows no signs of backing down. How did it come to this? Is it a surprise? Is it salvageable?

Nick Stoll, Josh Parish, and Joey Lynch are here to try and make sense of it all.

Then, does Graham Arnold deserve another contract to coach the Socceroos? Is Football Australia following the right processes in making this decision?

And what about England crashing out of the World Cup!?!?!? Let's all point and laff at Joey!

There are also the A-Liga Belts, fantasy updates, and a whole lot more!

Thanks and Success.
