Roy Keane gets annoyed, Villa survive and we say goodbye

On The Left Side: The Funny Football Show ·

2020/07/31

As the longest season ever comes to an end, we look at the role music played in deciding on who would be relegated from the Premier League. As a result, Watford issue an apology and we learn the secrets behind how the Villa go about signing players. Even that isn't enough to cheer Roy Keane up. Across the road, Birmingham City retire Jude Billingham's shirt number after only 44 games, as if by design we are putting this show on ice after nearly 300 episodes.All of our shows will still be available

Man City got the most important result of their season when their squad of superstar lawyers pulled it out of the back at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. A measly ten million euro fine annoyed the internet and Jose Mourinho, who was also upset about other things, despite finally getting his own TV show. And we said goodbye to world cup winner Jack Charlton - the man that led Ireland to glorious memories in the late 80's and 90'sOn The Left Side is written and produced by Ant McGinley & Jim

Liverpool win the League, Klopp cries and an Eagle dies

2020/07/02

Everybody loves Jurgen Klopp even more now that he has taken Liverpool to the title, and experts try and work out how he did it, some throw a bit more than a street party. And while the Reds secured the top-flight title, there was sad news down at Selhurst Park, where one Premier League regular will fly no more.On The Left Side is written and produced by Ant McGinley & Jim Salveson.

Kebabs, Sausage Rolls and Roy Keane's Taxi

2020/06/25

While the Premier League is back, it's not quite as good as we remembered it. In fact the only thing that feels the same is the anger emanating from Roy Keane. While he does his best impression of Liam Neeson, fellow countryman shows off his skills with some baked goods. And while we get used to crowd noises, could there be a job for Keano shouting from the stands to motivate players. Plus if only John Barnes really did have dodgy videos on his shelf, we could have had a hit record on our hands.On

Football joins the #BlackLivesMatter protests

2020/06/11

With the return of football on the horizon, focus shifted away from Covid19 and to worldwide protests following the death of George Floyd in police custody. As the football community responds, there's a sweeping realisation that football, like so many other areas of society, must do better. Elsewhere, Man City launched their appeal against the FFP allegations leveled at them by UEFA, and their fans joined the Muppets.On The Left Side is written and produced by Ant McGinley & Jim Salveson

Football's Coming Back

2020/06/04

Football is coming back and no one is more excited than former player Paul Beesley. The lack of atmosphere is a worry though as seen at RB Salzburg and on the ISS with the Dragon Capsule. But amongst all the questions about how and if and when, Jim has one question that's really bothering him - Who's the chairman of QPR?On The Left Side is written and produced by Ant McGinley & Jim Salveson.

This week we take the chance to chat with fellow football podcasters Joel Emery and Adam Jarrell about the creation of The Offensive and fictional football club Ashwood City. The Offensive is a brilliant and sometimes painfully real mockumentary following the characters and challenges that happen at a club that may not be too dissimilar to the one you follow.

Amy sits in the satire chair this week as we remember how much England Women's Boss Phil Neville enjoys made-up sports like Table Tennis Basketball. Could he leave the Lionesses to become the new gaffer at Newcastle? What would hairy hands Richard Keys say about that? Plus which members of the Tory party would play where in your team? Meanwhile, Luton Town have taken drastic action to sack their manager over his recent performances. Which seems slightly unfair given the circumstances... On The Left

It's been a month since any football happened in the UK and people are starting to get seriously worried about the impact all this will have on the sport, and things like transfers and in turn - potatoes. But Graeme Souness has a warning about your trousers if you're looking to splash the cash. And if you're looking for cash, and indeed accountants, maybe you could learn Spanish with a Premier League star.

Bernardo Silva is in trouble with twitter again after a video of him tossing a chocolate banana pancake causes controversy, but it's all just symptomatic of the no football world we find ourselves in. Meanwhile, some footballers chip in to help the NHS, but what if they just built a new hospital? And Paul Pogba finally gets the chance to have a pop back at... erm, you know.. that guy.. the one that... I think he used to play... The angry one... Nevermind, Paul doesn't know either.

Paycuts, Belarus and Kyle Walker in trouble

This episode contains a few swear words as the frustration of no football starts to take hold, combined with what Jim is calling the Belarus diet. The Government ask Footballers to take a paycut while Liverpool and Spurs go cap in hand because they are obviously so poor, and Piers Morgan speaks sense.
