Ed is having a lovely time off on holiday, and George definitely isn’t upset about it. He’s joined by Richard Roughley though, so it’s not all doom and gloom.
Richard has been playing FM for 9 years and has been writing on The Deep Lying Podcast site for a while now. Which is good because George and Ed keep forgetting to.
You might have noticed over the past few weeks we’ve been threading the podcasts with suggestions we might be doing something big for the new 5-0. And here it is! The fiftieth episode! And it’s not just Ed’s mic starting to work.
The audio quality is a little wonky on the podcast this time round, mainly because George was in an airport. But he gives a heartfelt apology, so you can’t get too mad.
We’re one episode away from the 50 milestone. George gives us a George fact about airports, and we’re joined by FM Pressure aka James.
We’re edging even closer to the big 50. Ed doesn’t know how to set up his new microphone, and for some reason there isn’t any music at the start of this episode.
This week we do have a guest, despite what George might have said. We’re joined by Mark North who reinvents a tradition that we’ve all definitely been missing. He’s the chairman of United London FC, the world’s first manager-less football club.
We’re edging closer to the fiftieth episode. There’s a mystery brewing, albeit it’s being brewed by George and Ed so it’s not brewing particularly successfully.
This time we’re joined by Sean Cleaver, a freelance video game journalist who used to be an American sports journalist and supports Liverpool. So now you know all there is to know about him.
This week George falls into Ed’s trap and says “evening” to everyone. He’s disgusted with himself. But that’s unlikely to stop the podcast rolling on.
This week we’re joined by Nathan Bliss, a sports journalist student and an FM researcher for West Brom. That’s something that George gets incredibly excited about.
This week Ed is back, and George is delighted. It’s been weird without him, but then George compares himself to Jesus and it all gets a different sort of weird.
We’re joined by Lee Price, long time listener first time podder. Thanks to Lee’s surname, we decided the question of this week should be about the largest amount of money that you’ve ever spent on a player in FM.
George is on hosting duties again, because Ed has disappeared off the face of the earth. Or he’s been really unlucky, George isn’t entirely sure.
This week we’re joined by Jimmy who runs Loading bar in London. It’s basically a bar where you can turn up, buy some drinks, and play a bunch of video games. And he’s fallen back on the FM band wagon recently as well.
Ed is in a caravan this week, and George can’t remember where. He also admits his hatred of sunlight. But it’s okay because we’re joined once again by Chris “Samo” Samson from Occasional Football Manager. He’s hiding at work as he talks to us.
George is in the hot seat on his own this week, but he’s joined by Ben, aka The Worst Football Manager Ever for a good chinwag.
The question of the week revolves around your favourite FM staff. Who are the scouts and the coaches that you always go for?
