This episode we decided to take our naming convention from Friends, because that’s just the sort of podcast that we are. Ed makes a triumphant return, just a week late, and George joins in from just near Cologne cathedral. That’s some real commitment there. Also apologies for the background nice.

Our special guest is Matt Jollie who calls in from south Miami, which is, if anything, even more impressive than George’s German connection.

This week’s listener question revolves around the countries you scour for your best regens. Matt goes for Mexico, George skitters around like a scared rabbit and Ed has Georgia on his mind. In the 2020s.

And if that’s not enough, here’s even more –

• Chris starts an unemployed save that leads him to Plymouth Argyle, moves to Fulham, and then heads to Sunderland in what he calls his favourite save ever.
• George didn’t have time to play this week, but he did get to experience some football in real life, which apparently has nothing to do with Football Manager.
• Ed gives us a two week catch-up on his Juventus save. He gets annoyed by Newcastle, considered his options at the end of the season, and then decided everything was too easy and moved to Bayern Munich. Then George gets shouted at by a German man.
• Matt walks us through his introduction to the Johnson’s Paint Trophy and the teams that most American fans actually support.
• And we have a chat about a man who generated 1000 years of Premier League results in Football Manager.
