In the 13th episode of The Unused Subs, Jacob & Goran are joined by Portland Timbers and All Whites centre back FINN SURMAN! He explains why he made the call to miss New Zealand's OFC WCQ semi and final, chats about Timbers head coach Phil Neville and how the former Premier League player is helping his game, the antics of Timber Joey, sunglasses after dark, and whether Finn is a kiwi... or a kiwifruit!? Former Wellington Phoenix defender TOM DOYLE returns to the Tyler St Sport studio to talk about the demise of the Nix in 24/25. What went wrong, but more importantly: how do you fix it?

In the 12th episode of The Unused Subs, Jacob & Goran are joined by Wellington Phoenix defender Scott ‘Walrus’ Wootton and NZF Goalkeeping Lead Paul Gothard AKA Goffy. The pair of Englishmen reunited after a couple of years since Goffy has been ghosting Walrus! Discussed on the podcast today: the incredible aura of Sir Alex Ferguson who Scott dealt with while at the Manchester United Academy, the qualities of Alex Paulsen and what Bournemouth would've identified in him, and of course, revenge is a dish best served cold... so Scott ABSOLUTELY hammers David Ball after Bally's attack on his best bud back in Episode 2!

In the 11th episode of The Unused Subs, Jacob & Goran are joined by unlikely goal-scoring hero MICHAEL BOXALL of the victorious All Whites! His first-ever international goal opened the scoring against New Caledonia in a 3-0 OFC WCQ Final win at Eden Park. He talks us through the goal, his emotions in the key moments, and how Kosta Barbarouses cannot open a bottle of bubbly to save his life! Jacob definitely knows how to though, and the day after the match he is in a MASSIVE hurt-box. Good luck to The Spoon before he and Boxy venture out for a round of golf! Most importantly however... for the 3rd time in All Whites history... WE'RE GOING TO THE FIFA WORLD CUP!!!

In the 7th episode of The Unused Subs, Jacob & Goran are joined by Auckland FC's Logan Rogerson fresh from winning THAT Kiwi A-League derby 6-1. He talks of bagging himself a hattrick in the fixture - did he though?

Dale Warburton from the Yellow Fever gives a stock take from a Nix fan's perspective too.
