In this exclusive WSC Supporters’ Club edition of the podcast, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray take their grief at poor Lionel Messi’s fate to discuss One Last Big Pay Days from Suleyman Kerimov’s FC Anzhi to Roberto Rivelino in Saudi Arabia. The Random Topic Generator throws up “Rumours” as a talking point, meaning conversational trips to Throckley petrol station, Mother Shipton’s Cave and the murky world of testimonial matches. Record Breakers takes us to Oslo, Stockholm and Bristol.
Taking time out from pondering who would win a game between Banoffee Thistle and Mulligatawny Town, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray talk Terrible Starts, from Southport’s Showaddywaddy season to Mick McCarthy’s no-nonsense, no points beginning at Sunderland. The three delve into the pages of issue 412 of When Saturday Comes magazine and consider alternative super leagues, and Record Breakers takes us to Brussels, Dresden and Bolton. Our Dan is joined by Dan Porritt of the And He Takes That Chance podcast to talk all things Huddersfield Town.
Euro 2020 was a tournament like no other – but how did you see it? The 2021 WSC survey lets you have your say. What were the outstanding moments? How did you watch it? Which pundits did you like and dislike? How do you feel about returning to stadiums? And what would you change about WSC?
Loyal readers may recognise some questions from past surveys – we ask them to see how things change. We’re grateful for your response – it should take about ten minutes and you have the chance to win a WSC T-shirt.
THE 2021 SURVEY IS NOW CLOSED
In this exclusive WSC Supporters’ Club edition of the podcast, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray embrace the spinach and liquorice diet to bring you stories of “bomber di provincias” from Dixie McNeill to Ernie Moss, and teams named after people. There is a discussion of British managers in north and central America and the Caribbean, which includes a John “Canoe Man” Darwin football conspiracy. Record Breakers takes us to Belfast, Belgrade and Portsmouth.
