We look back on a half season of football, give some predictions for the future, and generally arse about a bit. No change then. Enjoy the holiday season with a below average podcast. Hurrah!

Joe Hart and Outrage

The controversy over Joe Hart’s position at Manchester City is all a bit baffling. Not the fact he’s been dropped, it’s the controversy bit that’s baffling. No player should have a divine right to start for a team regardless of their attachment or history with the club. In every instance it should be earned through ability, form and application. Harts performances over the last few seasons have…

The CPOS Podcast is on Holiday

It is with heavy heart and a tearful eye that we begrudgingly announce the CPOS Podcast is on hiatus.  Saldly, despite the elaborate facade and spin, this isn’t our day job and things in real life have prevented Mike, Ollie, and Russ from continuing with the Podcast in the immediate future. Stupid real life, always getting in the way.  We can only apologise for the gaping void now left in your…

Big Sam's The Man

Big Sam’s The Man

It would be easy to dismiss Sam Allardyce’s appointment as the new England manager as a little bit ‘Mike Bassett’, but that doesn’t nearly do justice to the career of a progressive and vastly experience head coach.  A stoic advocate of Sports Science and data analysis based coaching it seems reductive to point the long ball finger at Big Sam. Customarily he does favour a more direct style of…

England Expects

It’s pretty unpleasent being in England at the moment. Aside from the social, political, and economic turmoil there is the men’s national football team. Another inglorious exit from an international tournament and another sobering morning after. One more shit storm to add to the grey cloud hanging over the nation.  The success of the national side is often reflected in the prosperity of the…

Armchair Supporters,Sit Down and Unite

You’re only a real fan if go to the game to watch Football. Armchair supporters aren’t real fans. You’ve got to be in the stands to support your club, right? Right? If that’s true, the future of this game of ours may be considerably less in scale, as the revenue inherited from TV rights indicates. Just as going to the game has grown into watching on TV, maybe it’s time football consumption…

Cleanpairofshorts Podcast – Ep115 -The Pools
