    Nov 10 2025
    Liverpool icon Robbie Fowler sits down with Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and Paddy McGuinness for an unfiltered chat about the highs, lows and funniest moments from his career. The lads dive into Liverpool’s loss to Manchester City and what it means for their Premier League ambitions, before things take a weird turn as Robbie tells the unbelievable story of how he ended up on the Real Madrid team bus celebrating their La Liga title… and how the night continued at Ronaldo’s (R9) house.

Robbie also opens up on his frustrations about not even getting interviews for managerial jobs in England, and why he feels he deserves to be talked about in the same breath as Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen when it comes to players who exploded onto the scene. The conversation also turns to the infamous “Spice Boys” tag: was it fair? Robbie gives his honest take on how that label shaped perceptions of the team and his own career and reveals the truth behind those famous white suits at Wembley,. He also talks candidly about why he never truly enjoyed his time with England. All that plus Nicky Butt recalls the time he had dreadlocks for three hours… until Sir Alex saw him.

    Niall Horan On Mourinho's Life-Changing Gesture, Awkward Meeting With Roy Keane & Prince Harry SNOG!
    Nov 3 2025
    This week Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and Paddy McGuinness are joined by superstar singer Niall Horan on the pod. Niall discusses his love for Derby County and Malcolm Christie, reveals how he turned up hungover at Chelsea for knee rehab under the watchful eye of José Mourinho and the subtle ways José showed his authority. He also talks about his awe for Roy Keane and debates whether he’d rather have been a pop star or a Premier League footballer. Meanwhile, Paul reflects on the huge reaction to his heartfelt comments about his son’s autism recently, before sharing why much of his football career wasn’t as enjoyable as you would think. Nicky recalls hang-gliding in Rio with Keane (and nearly being caught by Fergie), while Paddy remembers the night he shared a moment with Prince Harry in a nightclub and Jamie Carragher doing the Toxteth Tango in a dance-off a Brazilian legend. Plus, the lads imagine Niall and Paddy’s pro football careers as written by ChatGPT, with one ending up as a superstar with "Jack Grealish energy" and the other a lower league midfield journeyman. They also react to the breaking news that Gary O'Neil could be returning to Wolves, Scholesy reveals his odd superstition from his playing days, and Paddy ends up needing emergency physio mid-show.

    Oct 6 2025
    Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and Paddy McGuinness are back with another chaotic mix of football discussion, stories and laughs. The lads debate Liverpool — is Isak trying to do too much? Does Salah need a rest? And did Andy Robertson just have his ‘Gary Neville at West Brom' moment? Scholesy reveals how he tapped up Wayne Rooney (and how others players made it known they wanted a move to United), while Nicky recalls the day he found out Sir Alex wanted Michael Owen, much to his own dismay. They also recall the moment they realised how good Crstiano Ronaldo was and reveal his secret talent…for impressions. There’s also some England chat: should Bellingham, Foden, Grealish have been left out? Did Sir Alex really ask them to pull out of England squads and what they made of Glenn Hoddle’s faith healer Eileen Drewery. Plus, Scholesy and Nicky explain why they were terrible roommates, reveal who was the biggest swot when doing their coaching badges, remember how Becks’s room always smelled nice and Paddy recalls a day out in London that began with a shopping trip with Jason McAteer and ended with him playing credit card roulette.

    Has Arteta Failed At Arsenal? Rashford RANT & Top 5 Midfielders! | The Good, The Bad & The Footbal
    Sep 22 2025
    Paul, Nicky and Paddy are back for episode 2 of The Good, The Bad & The Football. They pick over Arsenal and Man City’s 1-1 draw and ask some big questions: is Arteta a failure until he wins a major trophy? Have two of the Premier League’s most famous foreign coaches gone full English? And what has happened to the Kevin Keegan lookalike who used to sit next to Pep? The lads show some love towards Sunderland, Fulham and Barcelona star Pedri, but there’s not so much for Chelsea, Marcus Rashford nor Ollie Watkins. We learn why warming up with Peter Schmeichel wasn’t for the faint-hearted and Scholesey gives his take on Wayne Rooney’s claim that gaming played a pivotal role in Manchester United’s success. There’s also a chat about the worst football chants, the top 5 midfielders currently playing, an unplanned food quiz and Paddy recalls one of the worst gigs of his career.
