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.

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.
First up Mike presenter of BBC Sports Rugby World Cup show 'The Hit' gave us his thoughts on Rugby, Football and Arsenal. Unless you're a Chelsea fan, what came after that is not to be missed as Mike took on the challenge of "The One Minute Rant!"
Then, following the shock news that statistical Brentford departed with manager Marinus Dijkhuizen, we got the views of Dave Lane from the excellent Beesotted fanzine. Dave gave his insights and views on the state of affairs at Griffin Park, putting right a few rumours and easing Dom's relegation fears along the way.
Finally, Eli Mengem joined us live on the phone. Eli, who has travelled the football world with Copa 90, took part in our brand new game "El YES or El NO!" Posed with all football's key questions and armed with his love of fan culture, his battery lasted JUST long enough to give his opinion on derby days, Aussie Rugby and Lee Cattermole.
Great Touch For A Big Lad is available on iTunes.
