Football Is Fixable, Alright?!

It may surprise no regular listener to hear that this is the big one! The boys finally fix the entire English Premier League and attempt to bring back the passion of our beautiful game.

It's...

We all know at least one football friend with entitled views from a privileged position. They're the ones looking down from their ivory towers, whether due to their recent success, the club's history or simply due to their rose-tinted view of the world. The boys discuss how to tackle this topic, both from a top-down view of James's perspective, and a bottom-up view of Ces. It may seem too much for...

There are many teams in the English league, and two in particular have been owned by people with little or no interest in caring for these titans of English football - Everton and Manchester United. Ces and Dan have the difficult task to debate which of these clubs are the worst run by their owners, and to crown which team is the true car crash of the Premierleague. It may be hard to know who wins...

Does anyone else get the feeling that an arm and a leg might not cover the cost to watch your favourite football team anymore? Matchday and season tickets are at an all-time high, merchandise prices are ridiculous, and we are now expected to fork out too much each month for TV subscriptions, all while the cost of living already tightened our purse strings. This is a much needed episode for the boy...

Time for a big FIF,A?! debate! This will be a regular feature where titans will meet titans in the squared ring of the 57th largest football-related podcast in Australia. The contestants are put to the test to see if they are able to use the methods from this great podcast in order to put aside bias and skewed statistics. Yet unlike other debates, there is a twist that they will have to contend wi...

Is Man City's dominance over? Was Pep actually that great? Do the players have it in them anymore? Well, until the boys at FIF,A?! give you the answers, the fixes can't truly be implemented. Whether you're a Citizen wanting to know how to fix your team, or you're literally anyone else and basking in the joyous hilarity of finally seeing a (near) invincible team wobble on their palace of dominance,...

This week's episode may have fractured the trio irreparably! In the absence of the imposing figure of Ces, the dynamic duo of Dan and James take on the herculean task to fix the Red Devils. However, in doing so, they may have put a strain in their friendship forever! Will Dan be able to put aside his undeniable bias? Will James be able to allow Dan to finish a sentence? Find out... alright?! Learn...

It's fair to say that, for all British football fans, knowing that this is the last Match of the Day season with the great Gary Lineker is emotional. He has been an ever-present in many of our lives, and it's such a shame to see him leave. We're not saying that he felt threatened by our podcast and incredible knowledge of the game - we are simply pointing out the mere coincidence that Lineker choo...

This week, the boys tackle a big issue that every generation faces - recency bias! It's probably our best episode yet, but then again there may be a little recency bias involved in that evaluation. The only way to know for sure is for you to listen to the entire episode and tell every living creature to subscribe to us, human or otherwise! Learn more about your ad choices.

Was Real Madrid right in saying that they were disrespected by the Ballon D'or? Were they woefully overlooked this year, with only the 2nd, 3rd and 4th spots in the Men's award, 2nd in the Young Player award, 3rd in the Keeper award, 1st in the Top Scorer award, 1st in the Club of the Year award and 1st in the Manager of the Year award to show for it? Are they right to boycott the event after only...

Have you ever spoken to an Arsenal fan and felt like they are slightly over-egging the achievement of an unbeaten league season? Have you heard them comparing it with winning a treble, and even prefer it over a treble season? This is a common theme particularly with obsessive fans wearing rose tinted glasses, and luckily one of our hosts is just that sort of fan! We also introduce a new addition t...

Aren't international breaks boring?? Not only are the games more often than not meaningless, but it also stops our precious domestic leagues from playing! Ces and James fix the need for these ridiculous games, and also introduce the world to a brand new European tournament that will help close the gap between first and last places in domestic leagues, and be more popular than most cup tournaments....

There's nothing like a good old fashioned Sunday League-esque tackle in a game to get the juices flowing! Well, at least that's what it used to be. Tackling now seems to be more tactical, and if you go anywhere near the attacker's aura, the ref will likely call it a foul. We discuss the tactics to pass from the back, and why defending seems to have become as soft as a punctured football. It may se...

Is football becoming predictable, corruptible, and generally more boring? Has the beauty, the individuality and flare been managed out of the game?

Professional footballers nowadays are becoming more and more unprofessional. While their profession is deemed professional, they're no longer professional in terms of sporting conduct. Their unprofessional behaviour makes their profession seem unprofessional, and calling them professional while they profess to be professors of their own profession is unprofessional. This calls for some professiona...

Have you ever listened to well paid, former professional footballers in their "analysis" segment, simply pointing out the obvious?

We are also joined by a very special guest who needs no introduction... so enjoy the show! Learn mo...

It's fair to say that no one really understands Chelsea's recruitment policy. They seem to be recruiting players faster than this podcast is creating a fanbase, if that could be believed. However, our favourite Chelsea supporting friend from Stoke is here to explain all, and be as happy and cheery as ever, guiding us through the inner workings of this crazy club. It might feel like Chelsea are out...

Ever since we fixed VAR in our debut season of this podcast, we've had literally no one asking us to fix it again! However, we've got a special guest with us who is prepared to test his debating skills against our very own Ces, the man once touted by himself as a very decent guy. It may not be a debate anyone asked for, but it's the one you're getting... alright?! Learn more about your ad choices....

There's nothing quite like stumbling your way to a semi final draw like a good old fashioned England penalty shootout! In fact, France did the same and showed it doesn't mean anything to go into the tournament as favourites! Ces and James recorded this episode before and after the England game to test their predictions, and boy did they disappoint! They're usually right, but their predictions some...
