Roy Keane gets annoyed, Villa survive and we say goodbye

July 31, 2020 11:15 - 13 minutes - 19.5 MB

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 a...

Ups, downs, sackings and signings

July 23, 2020 14:12 - 11 minutes - 25.6 MB

Leeds are back where they belong (which we assume means they will no longer be just off the M1/M62), Liverpool have had their trophy, and more great English talent is headed for Germany with a surge of Beatlemania, and it's all in this latest episode.

City beat UEFA, Jose heads to Amazon and we lose a footballing giant

July 16, 2020 11:49 - 9 minutes - 21.7 MB

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's On The Left Side is written and produced by Ant McGinley &...

New Balls Please

July 09, 2020 14:58 - 10 minutes - 23.2 MB

Jose is turning into Mr Nice Guy, Ole is having tech problems at United, Man City fluff their lines when Bernardo Silva has a cuppa instead of giving Liverpool a Guard of Honour, and Nike launch a new ball that does new stuff, like roll and bounce.

Liverpool win the League, Klopp cries and an Eagle dies

July 02, 2020 00:01 - 11 minutes - 26.9 MB

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.

Kebabs, Sausage Rolls and Roy Keane's Taxi

June 25, 2020 14:52 - 12 minutes - 29.4 MB

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 ha...

June 18, 2020 11:41 - 8 minutes - 20.7 MB

June 11, 2020 15:28 - 8 minutes - 19.8 MB

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.

Football's Coming Back

June 04, 2020 12:42 - 9 minutes - 23 MB

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?

An interview with the brains behind The Offensive Podcast

May 16, 2020 13:50 - 19 minutes - 17.5 MB

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.

I miss football

May 07, 2020 15:59 - 9 minutes - 13.2 MB

It's been so long since football happened that we envisage a future without it.

Phil Neville to Newcastle? And the morality of Richard Keys

April 30, 2020 10:40 - 7 minutes - 7 MB

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 Th...

Cheap Transfers, Footballing Potatoes and Spanish with Aguero

April 23, 2020 10:36 - 9 minutes - 9.24 MB

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. On The Left Side is written and produced by Ant McGinley & Jim Salveson, with additiona...

Pancakes, Pogba and a Premier League Hospital

April 16, 2020 18:27 - 12 minutes - 17.1 MB

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. On The Left...

Paycuts, Belarus and Kyle Walker in trouble

April 09, 2020 14:41 - 12 minutes - 12.1 MB

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.

With football in Lockdown, commentators go wild with boredom

April 02, 2020 06:12 - 9 minutes - 9.05 MB

As the coronavirus continues to shut down normal life, we are slowly adapting to a world without football. But with no games to play, football stars are resorting to telling people to stay at home, while commentators such as Clive Tyldsley and Nick Heath are commentating on everyday life. Could this be the future of the beautiful game? On The Left Side is written and produced by Ant McGinley & Jim Salveson, with additional voices from Ciaran Saward, and Luke McKinnon as the baby.

#StayAtHomeChallenge and The Wembley Lasagne

March 26, 2020 05:24 - 11 minutes - 10.9 MB

This week we found out who had been buying up all the worlds toilet rolls, and what happens when you ask a super computer who will win the Premier League, if it ever resumes.

Football goes viral as everything stops for the Pandemic

March 19, 2020 00:22 - 7 minutes - 7.48 MB

Just as Liverpool were on the verge of a runaway Premier League Victory, all football has stopped because of COVID-19. And it means there's also no sport on TV or radio which is causing problems for some outlets, and there are some creative solutions being offered for what to do instead, everything from E-sports to Guinea Pigs.

March 04, 2020 14:44 - 9 minutes - 7.11 MB

This weeks On The Left Side starts with a Manchester City's headline-grabbing antics but not for the reason you might think.

A letter to Klopp and a Stairway to Jose

February 27, 2020 01:53 - 8 minutes - 10.7 MB

It's a manager special with Mourinho not making any sense, Steve Bruce being awfully confused by his breakfast, and Jurgen Klopp proving to be the nicest manager, if not human being in the premier league.

February 13, 2020 02:22 - 12 minutes - 12 MB

Storm Ciara may have put a stop to Man City in the premier league, but couldn't stop Paul Merson who still doesn't seem to have a clue about football. Meanwhile, is the secret to the Baggies success this season their manager's Nostrils? From West Brom, we go to West Ham as the Davids demand an apology from Sky, as social media demands one from Dele Alli, and we get ahead of the game by apologising for everything. In a song...

United turn to China, Ole looks on the bright side, and VAR makes sense at last

February 06, 2020 11:19 - 8 minutes - 8.43 MB

Transfer deadline day saw one of the most drawn-out transfers in Bruno Fernandes AND one of the most surprising in Odion Igahlo go to Man Utd.

Klopp is on Holiday, Woodward is in songs and Pennant is off the TV

January 30, 2020 09:42 - 9 minutes - 9.74 MB

It's often said that a team is 'on the beach' when they have nothing left to play for, and going off what Jurgen Klopp said this week, he is already there and as Liverpool are 19 points clear, who can blame him? Elsewhere things are on the up at Man Utd, unless your name is Ed Woodward. Still, it's nice to have a song sung about you, isn't it?  On The Left Side is written by Ant McGinley and Jim Salveson, and this episode was produced in Manchester.

Football x10, Liverpool +16 & Oxford City -1

January 23, 2020 11:27 - 9 minutes - 11.1 MB

Phil Neville, Rob Green, Jamie Carragher and Roy Keane have very different approaches to mathematics. Finn Tapp has a very different definition of being in a relationship.

January 16, 2020 03:57 - 8 minutes - 7.94 MB

Things are really hotting up at the minute. Not on the pitch or in the race for titles, but off the pitch where managers and players alike find themselves caught up in a scandal, so much that we had enough to do a special 'Uncovered' episode. However, it's still suitable for work. Unless you work in a religious establishment or nursery school.

January 03, 2020 11:24 - 9 minutes - 11.6 MB

We made it through the silly season to the future and with Amazon stepping into the football arena, we wonder what might happen if Jeremy Clarkson joins the commentary team. Speaking of commentators, John Acres is back on the show again, and speaking of being back, David Moyes has returned to West Ham with proof he is one of the most winningest managers from a very select group.

Passionate Managers and Misguided Monkeys

December 19, 2019 14:39 - 10 minutes - 12.4 MB

It looks like Mikel Arteta and Carlo Ancelotti are well on their way to new jobs at Arsenal and Everton, but they've taken their time sorting it out. In the meantime, they've filled the gaps with passion in the form of a couple of club heroes. Meantime the Italian FA have made a stand against Racism in their own unique way.

It's that time of year when P45's seem to come thicker and faster than fixtures, and shortly after Spurs rang the changes, Arsenal and Watford have had a Christmas clean out as well.

Superstitious Frank, Give VAR a 7, and remember the Giant Poppy

November 14, 2019 16:37 - 11 minutes - 13.5 MB

Liverpool extend their lead at the top of the premier league but instead of focusing on that we look at superstition and ask where Frank Lampard wees? Does Pep Guardiola believe in anything? Who is the next Paul Merson? And is there anything more dignified than a giant poppy mascot?  The answer is yes. Yes, there is.   On The Left Side is written by Ant McGinley and Jim Salveson, and this episode was produced by them in Northampton and Manchester. Thanks to BBC Sport The theme music and is wr...

November 07, 2019 12:19 - 9 minutes - 11.4 MB

Who likes Armpits anyway? Not Liverpool fans that's for sure in the latest nonsense surrounding VAR.

Keane wants Kane but does he really need a hug?

October 24, 2019 10:43 - 9 minutes - 9.24 MB

It's been a quiet week in football. I mean, if you ignore all the racist chants and banners and Pep Guardiola playing players out of position. So we do just that. In our ignorance, we instead ask if Roy Keane was unloved as a child, if Rob Green has a voice for radio, and if one Gambian commentator has ever seen a game of football before. ---- On The Left Side is written by Ant McGinley and Jim Salveson, and this episode was produced by them in Manchester.

WAGS at war, and England Walk out against racists

October 17, 2019 08:13 - 12 minutes - 11.1 MB

More drama than Shakespeare this week as footballing wife Detective Coleen Rooney turned Wagatha Christie and accused Rebekah Vardy of leaking stories to the Sun.

Amazon Alexa insults your team, and Ole leads the sack race

October 10, 2019 10:40 - 8 minutes - 7.76 MB

Many people feel that technology is ruining football for the fans, so have Amazon solved the problem by replacing the fans with robots? Meanwhile, Spurs are holding onto their manager if only because everyone is looking at how badly things are going at Manchester United.

Steve Bruce tactics, and United Legends save the day

October 03, 2019 08:41 - 8 minutes - 7.63 MB

While things are looking glum for Spurs, are things looking up for Newcastle?  In a word no, no they're not. But there is a brochure out that makes Steve Bruce sound awesome. Amidst the takeover talk and getting stiffed by Leicester, the Magpies must be relieved that Souness has been having a pop at Pogba again. And is the only way to save Manchester United from disaster to bring back the class of '92?  ------ On The Left Side is written by Ant McGinley and Jim Salveson, and this episode was ...

Bernardo goes nuts, Klopp vs the weather and Ashley Cole mucks up the Europa League

September 26, 2019 08:07 - 10 minutes - 15.7 MB

Again we find ourselves asking big questions like is something racist if the two people involved seem to be ok with it? What the heck is Jurgen Klopp's problem with the British climate, and where on earth did Ashley Cole learn to read? These, are just some of the many questions we will fail to answer in this episode.

September 19, 2019 07:56 - 9 minutes - 8.94 MB

After the most expensive team in Europe's top leagues lose to the cheapest, does this mean that we should just hand the Premier League title to Liverpool?  Meanwhile, it's time to get down to it if you want time off for the Euros, Arsenal pushes their fans to the edge and fake news taints Vincent Kompany's testimonial...

Respectful Monkey Chants, BIG Manchester United News, and Watford go back to their ex

September 12, 2019 07:12 - 9 minutes - 9.24 MB

The International Break came after a Inter-racist break, in which some fans were asking "Can a monkey chant really be respectful?" We wonder if a terrible impression can be as well. And if there is anyone who doesn't annoy Graeme Souness? Elsewhere, Man United continue to run away with the Commercial Partnership League as they announce their New Official Electrical Styling Partner, and Watford plays wheel of fortune with their managers.   On The Left Side is written and produced by Ant McGinl...
