The Twohundredpercent Podcast emerges from its hidey hole this week with a lime and a coconut, just in time to discuss the fizzing excitement of the 4th round of the FA Cup. Unhappiness is the order of the day at Manchester United, where only drastic measures now seem likely to be able to save their season. Your regular correspondents are on hand to pontificate on just how radical these need to be. There's also a distinct side of aggro as Edward and Ian look back at the 200% Derby between Spurs and Brighton, from which only one of your heroes could emerge with a light heart. In what is a surpr ..read more

On this week's Twohundredpercent Podcast, Edward and Ian are joined for a second time by Evertonian Sam Whyte (in addition to our now regular guest host, the fire alarm in Ian's house) to pick through the rubble of another week of top line soccer, including the departure of the Everton boss.  Rafa Benitez wasn't backed to the hilt with transfer funds at Everton but he made his presence felt in a variety of other no doubt long-lasting ways. Sam ably helps us sift through each of these, as well as revealing where Anthony Gordon gets his hair cut. Ian, meanwhile, is finally a convert to Team ..read more

2022's first Twohundredpercent Podcast sees your heroes reflecting on a bumper week of FA Cup 3rd round upsets. Ian is somewhat concerned both for Nuno Tavares' long term career at Arsenal and also by the continual merry-go-round of blind hope and incompetence that has characterised Newcastle United's disappointing season.  Meanwhile, Edward busily picks out the best goal of the round, from lowly Kidderminster Harriers' shock win against Championship Reading. But where is Reading? We look into it and pull out an unlikely conclusion.  If all this excitement isn't enough, we are joined ..read more

On this week's festive extravaganza Twohundredpercent Podcast, Edward and Ian are joined by podcasting stalwart and renowned Metal fan Chris Nee to look ahead to another scintillating year of football.  Your heroes explore Chris's turbulent relationship with the beautiful game over the past year, before going on to touch on any number of hot topics. These include: the vital role the pornography industry must surely play in the normalisation and regulation of NFTs; the reason Edward's own Cryptocurrency never got off the ground; and weighing the thorny moral issues of the 2022 Qatar World ..read more

This week's Twohundredpercent Podcast is split into two parts. In part one your heroes investigate what is going on at Everton, a club who are seemingly in freefall in spite of their European Cup-winning manager (cough) and their owner's almost infinitely deep pockets.  There's considerable there-but-for-the-grace-of-god-go-I mirth at some of the Toffees' recent business in the transfer market and any attempt to calm the nerves of jittery Evertonians is soon kiboshed by Ian, who has been watching them play all season.  In part two, Edward and Ian report on their trip to Bognor Regi ..read more

This week's Twohundredpercent Podcast is a football computer games special, with both of your heroes having been playing titles that promise to offer up something new to the table. Both fail dismally, of course, which causes some consternation as both Edward and Ian like dicking about playing computer games a whole lot.  There are thoughts on the unique joy afforded by modern video games whereby the consumer also gets to be an unpaid product tester and the epochal FIFA versus PES rivalry for market dominance finally reaches its climax (FIFA won). Additionally, there is an idea for a new ..read more

This week's Twohundredpercent Podcast focuses on the new arrival at Manchester United, Germany's intellectual powerhouse coach Ralf Rangnick. But what do your heroes - or indeed anyone else in Britain - know about this international man of mystery? Very little, it turns out. Nevertheless, it's a gap in all our knowledge that seemingly eats an hour of your lifetime.  After a weekend in which Roy Keane and Jamie Carragher had a circular argument in which both men were simultaneously right and wrong, Edward and Ian bicker fruitlessly and ultimately discover nothing about Ralf Rangnick or ea ..read more

This week's Twohundredpercent Podcast is a right-up-to-the-minute look at a goalkeeper Liverpool signed 40 years ago, as Edward and Ian consider the career and legacy of Bruce Grobbelaar.  Your heroes childhoods were both touched by the acrobatic exploits of this outstanding player to some extent, so they try to get a handle on where he came from, who he managed to beat to the role and whether or not a chimpanzee in a green jersey could have done just as effective a job playing in goal for the brilliant Liverpool team of the 1980s.  There's also our thoughts on some of the darker m ..read more

How many times have all of YOUR toenails fallen out? None, presumably. But one of your regularly scheduled heroes on this week's Twohundredpercent Podcast's answer to that question may well surprise (and horrify you). It would certainly interest the subject of this week's conversation, Professor of Podiatry and English football's most experienced manager Neil Warnock.  He's been a controversial figure for much of his career in the dugout, but his recent sacking by Middlesbrough gave both Edward and Ian pause for thought. They've realised that actually, Neil Warnock has consistently been ..read more

On this week's emotive FA Cup special Twohundredpercent Podcast, we join your heroes as they recount their trek up to Hertfordshire from their homes on the Sussex coast to watch St Albans City play League 2 leaders Forest Green Rovers in the First Round Proper. It was a red letter day for the Saints, too, as they emerged with a 3-2 victory to secure their first win against League opposition since the English Civil War.  Not much time to dwell on anything else, or so you'd think: in fact, the ever-prolific Ian manages to drag us deep into a wormhole of Association Football in the Grand Du ..read more
