Nice One Cyril: Extra Time 14

Kevin and Simon with their visceral response to the horror show against Palace. Do the players care enough? Are they trying? Igor fitting square pegs into round holes again. Is there a way out? It's straight from the heart. #...

Have We Reached Peak Nothingness?

This week we attempt to deconstruct 90 minutes of absolute vapidity. From “Flappy” launching a free kick into the Thames to Gallagher’s invisibility cloak and Solanke playing so deep he was almost buried. Host Simon Lipson is...

Free Hit, Same Shit.
Feb. 24, 2026

Free Hit, Same Shit.

This week, we dissect the 4-1 mauling that felt less like a NLD and more like a roadside accident. Who played well? Tough one. Who didn't? Easier. Igor's fiirst match in charge was like Thomas's last. Plus ca change. But he's...

Welcome To Omnishambles FC, Igor

Enter Igor Tudor : a man with 11 jobs in 12 years and a no wingers policy. But he's a chaos specialist. So is he the right man at the right moment? And will he stay if we win every match including the Champions League? Strang...

Frank's Gone. Emergency Pod ! Emergency Pod!

We Need To Talk About Cuti

For 29 minutes, we actually looked a bit like a football team. Then Cuti Romero decided he’d seen enough. With Udogie hobbling off and the squad down to nine fit first-teamers (is that right, Cuti?) we’re officially in "looki...

Nice One Cyril: Extra Time 11

The window has slammed shut and Cuti Romero hasn't held back. We dive into the Captain’s "disgraceful" Instagram broadside. And we ask: What does Johan Lange actually do? Plus The Vinai Era: Is the new CEO staying "on message...
Chalk, Cheese and the Giant Redwood
Feb. 3, 2026

Chalk, Cheese and the Giant Redwood

The City game was a tale of two halves: pathetic to dynamic, chalk to cheese. Was the formation shift down to Thomas Frank’s genius or forced by injury? We break down the "moral courage" of Xavi Simons, praise 'man possessed'...

Nice One Cyril: Extra Time 10

Fourth in the CL table, above “tiddlers” like Real, Barça, City and PSG. Second-best defence, Flappy apparently the best keeper on earth. We examine the performance and ask whether this was progress or just another glorious o...

Frank: 'Defend a bit better, attack a bit better. Simples'

Burnley: missed chance or gritty point? Either way, we didn’t end their miserable run, so… progress? We dig into the numbers (not boringly, promise) and explore whether our best attackers are also our biggest problem. Plus: O...

Welcome To The Shitshow

Home defeat to that useless lot. Frank said we were “close to something very good.” Romero called it “a disaster.” One of them is right. We cover baffling tactics, Tel hooked and dumped from the Champions League squad again, ...

Nice One Cyril: Extra Time 8

Kev and Simon chat about Gallagher, sift through the latest transfer noise, the club’s ever-expanding executive org chart, and ask why Ange’s name still won’t go away. Also, who gives a toss about Gary of Harlow's wet dream S...
Green Shoots Or Dead Roots?
Jan. 13, 2026

Green Shoots Or Dead Roots?

Another home defeat, another first half we’d all like to forget. But...a much better second half against a good Villa team, which raises an awkward question: if we’re happy to blame Thomas Frank when it’s bad, do we give him ...

Nice One Cyril: Extra Time 7

Simon and Kevin discuss: Another horrible capitulation to Bournemouth , Cupgate, players confronting the fans and the captain aiming a broadside at the hierarchy. Thomas continues to struggle - what's he trying to do? Do we s...

'I'm So Sick Of This Shit'

We’re dissecting the Jekyll & Hyde draw with Sunderland —from a decent first half to a second-half retreat so deep we nearly ended up in the stand. Inside the episode: Tactical Hostages: Why does Thomas Frank treat a 1-0 lead...

Nice One Cyril: Extra Time 6

Kevin and Simon discuss our sparkling performance against Brentford. Is Thomas Frank just trying not to lose? Will that save his job? Bilbao hero Brennan Johnson is on his way? Was he good enough? Did we play him out of posit...

Top Of The League! *

* The away league Spurs win away while playing...not very well. We talk Palace, praise Danso and Archie, worry about Porro, and ask how a team can be top of the away table yet so dreadful at home. Frank gets pelters for dimin...

Nice One Cyril: Extra Time 5

It's A Red, Red Christmas

Two red cards, a rogue referee and just enough fight to leave us feeling… optimistic? We talk Thomas's tactics before and after the chaos, Kudus hitting the wall, Vand de Ven breaking things and Romero being Romero. There’s a...
