The Magic Sponge

Football podcast hosted by Jimmy Bullard and two comedians, Rob Beckett and Ian Smith. Been going for 3 years now but only got round to listening recently. Little al and scro recommended it on the podcast thread and gave it a listen - bloody hilarious compulsive listening.

If you like football insider tittle tattle then you'll love this. They have a special guest on every show and it's like being a fly on the wall in a pub listening to them spilling the beans over a drink or two about all sorts of crazy stories from their football days.

It is chaotic and very laddish but some of the stories really make you laugh out loud. Quite a bit of Palace references too. Just finished listening to Steve Claridge's one where he blames Alan Smith for leaving us because he fined and dropped him for turning up late for a reserve game, but let Salako off two weeks later for the same misdemeanour.

Bullard tells a funny story at the end of that pod when he was at Ipswich, him and two other players (which unusually for this show he doesn't name) are in the treatment room regularly with long term injuries. Whenever they had to go into the ice machine for 20 mins one of the players would always sneak off. After a few times Bullard and the remaining player wondered where he was going, so Bullard decided to follow him one day. He ended up following him in his car and found out he was going to the other player's house who was left in the treatment room. No prizes for guessing why! Bullard just came right back and told the guy in the treatment room. Obviously there were fisty cuffs.

If you like hearing football gossip from behind the scenes then you will really enjoy these pods. They're all on You Tube too if you prefer that to the pods.

Anyone else a fan?
