1: Morons: A New Hope

In our penultimate episode, we’re in the midlands with one of the Premier League’s nouveau riches.  Leicester City came from the relative poverty of a Premier League relegation battle in 2015 to winning the whole damn thing a season later in what was, without doubt, one of the finest moments of English football’s storied history.  But this vertiginous rise to the lofty heights of the Premier League’s elite had a strange effect on the club. The following season, Claudio Ranieri was sacked, to be replaced by Craig Shakespeare.  Shakespeare, it turned out, was also ‘not to be’ and so followed a succession of managers joining then leaving the club until Brendan Rodgers arrived at the end of last season.  Will Rodgers be able to shake off the curse of the 2015-16 title-winning season? Or is he simply its most imminent victim?   

19: Summer Break 2019 - Leicester City

Today, we’re as far North as we’ll get in this series.  Newcastle has a famous footballing pedigree which is why the slow decline of the club in the last ten years has been all the more painful to watch. Owned by arch capitalist and almost universally despised Mike Ashley, the club has been run as a cash cow for a number of years with the owner doing just enough to milk it for profit.  Fans could hardly believe their luck when they managed to accrue the talents of Rafael Benitez and then keep him even after relegation into the Championship.  But even that silver lining was duly ripped out and sold for monies. Now, fans of the club face the prospect of a season under Steve Bruce, whose career win total is close to tipping beneath his career loss total. If things go as well as many pundits predict, then it could well happen this season.  So here we are. A beleaguered fan base. A manager who does not look up to the rigours of Premier League life. And a squad that leaves a lot to be desired. It could be a long season on Tyneside. Joining us on the show today is a well-known face in the world of Newcastle United fandom: Harry De Cosemo.  Harry covers Newcastle and North East football for the Morning Star newspaper and is also a freelance writer for Football365, Planet Football and Eurosport among others.

18: Summer Break 2019 - Newcastle United

In today’s episode, we’re back in London - just down the road from Fulham Broadway Tube Station at Stamford Bridge.  Under Roman Abramovich, Chelsea have had an up-and-down few years. As far as the present season is concerned, it’s something of a down year.  Despite Europa League success with Maurizio Sarri last season, a two-window transfer ban from FIFA for malpractice signing foreign under-18 players as well as Sarri’s return to Italy has left fans and pundits alike unsure of how successful a campaign they will have this time around.  If there is a silver lining, it is somewhat tarnished: club legend Frank Lampard here to oversee an influx of youngsters off the back of a curious debut season at Derby County.  Will Lampard save the day as he has done so often in the past? Or is there a danger that Chelsea could drop out of the top six if things don’t go their way? Joining us on the podcast today is one of the biggest personalities in the football media: Amadí Thiam. Amadí is currently lead editor at Gilt Edge Soccer Marketing having previously been community manager for COPA90 US, social media manager for The Athletic Soccer, a feature writer for U.S. Soccer’s Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and an editorial assistant for Howler Magazine, among others.  His career as a football journalist has led him to press boxes in stadiums around the country, but his true passions are digital content production and Chelsea FC. You’ve more than likely seen his gifs on Twitter and he also manages an account (@ClassicChels) which shares video highlights of Chelsea matches and milestones from years past.
