Full Backing of the Board dives into football’s most ominous vote of confidence — the kiss of death disguised as support. Each episode, your hosts debate which under-pressure manager is next in line for the dreaded backing, track the fate of our ongoing picks, revisit some of the most infamous board statements in football history, and uncover the chaos, comedy, and inevitability behind the sport’s most cursed phrase.

Take your pants off and get down 19.06.2026 59:11
This episode could have easily been named Gurrrr-a-gram, but there's just something about Neil commiting a robbery in a Chinese Takeaway and yelling at customers to remove their trousers that just feels right.

The Cure for Eternal Life 11.06.2026 59:18

It's Always Sunny in Vietnam (and Little Lever) 16.05.2026 54:51
A warning to anyone who suffers with Misophonia (like Neil), it's not going to be an enjoyable listen. But seeing as no one really listens and its only a minor echo, deal with it. Join us to see how Neil responds after we correctly Guessed the Footballer last week, it usually means he throws a huge paddy and picks something bonkers for us. We can also confirm we still haven't made our way onto the...

Night Meat, Beef Lightning & Daryl Murphls 01.05.2026 57:08
As the season winds down we still find ways of winding each other up.

Me again, not A.I This weeks episode is the same usual nonsense. Guess the Footballer, Legit or Bullshit and more of what you've grown to tolerate. (Of course Lou Bega is mentioned...again).
