GT4ABL #89: From Delight to Despair for Arsenal, Neville’s First Week & LVG the Untouchable mad man
Is LVG a mad man that can't be touched?
Is LVG a mad man that can't be touched?
In this weeks show we react to the Vardy party whilst also considering the thought, is all the Vardy chit-chat is getting a little old now?. We reveal our nominations and winner of the Ballon D’poor, the competition FIFA regrets not signing up to, where we look at the biggest under performers from the last year. The award no player wants. All that plus the usual selection of insight yet comical features. Football nonsense at its finest.
The show starts this week with a nod to the nice guys. As Ronaldo emerged as the most "liked" footballer on Facebook following the release of his film, the boys pick out and discuss the game's real good eggs.
Next, Allcott revels in Chelsea's woes in roundup of the weekend, whilst Irwin hits back, defends Chelsea, and promises a backlash from the boys in blue.
Ever thought of something that would make the game better for you? "Footballing inventions" was next up on the show with a brainstorm of (now patented) gadgets that will revolutionise the game. A machine that holds your drink when you celebrate and decision making robots are coming soon to a stadium near you.
Craig's question talks about favourite types of goal, whilst offside touches on banned substances and something we never want to see in the game, mashed potato.
All this, Irwin ranting on pet hates, and much more on this week's GT4ABL. Follow us on Twitter for more content.

What has happened to Jose and the champions. Can anyone explain this footballing mystery? We take at look at some other unexplained events from the world of football, (Andy Carroll £35m!?). Plus would you miss your kid’s birth for a game football and just how do you make the perfect start to a day. All this and more from the UK’s favorite footballing podcast.
Following his unsuccessful spell at Aston Villa we reflect on what when wrong for Tim Sherwood, we also look at some other managerial do and don’ts. Find out what position in world football the likes of ‘Naked’ ‘The Prince’ and ‘Sexwhale’ are applying for (yes they are real names). And finally we catch up with Clive Whittingham from the excellent QPR fan site ‘Loft for Words’ to discuss the upcoming West London derby, Brentford v QPR. Great Touch for a Big lad, touching on all things serious and silly in football.
Sacking special! You go 2 months without a sacking and then two come at once. We don't normally put Dick and Rodgers in the same sentence, but we have tonight. Tune in for the view from the fans. We speak to Gareth Roberts from the excellent Liverpool podcast ‘The Anfield Wrap’ to discuss Brendon’s departure. We also catch up with Paul Dobson from the award winning Sunderland fanzine ‘A Love Supreme’ to try and find out when the Sunderland managerial merry go round will end! All this as well as our usual features. A football podcast not taking the beautiful game too seriously.
It was guests galore on this week's Great Touch For A Big Lad as we were joined on the phone by 'The Hit' presenter Mike Armagon, Copa 90's Eli Mengem, and Beesotted's Dave Lane.
