09/01/2017 - Transfer Talk

footballfoundry — Tue, 09 Jan 2018 14:10:53 +0100

With it being cup weekend and no football league action, we decided to turn our attention to the transfer window.

In this episode, we decided to highlight a bunch of Premier League teams that could do with a facelift this January transfer window, even Man City could do with a couple of players in to maybe achieve their dreams of going unbeaten all season long. But who else could do with a few extra players added to their lineup?

James & Matt make a bet on who will become the next Stoke manager... But the punishment for the loser could make or break them!

We reveal the overall winner between Lingard and Shelvey, who will make it into the 2018 World Cup Squad?

04/01/2018 - Oh Jesse You’re So Fine!

footballfoundry — Thu, 04 Jan 2018 16:09:12 +0100

We're back with the first episode of 2018 and by gosh, there's plenty of Premier League action to go through as the fixtures are coming thick and fast.

We highlight previous results such as Crystal Palace ending Man City's record breaking win streak, Swansea's remarkable 2-1 win after being 1-0 in the dying moments, what a start for Carlos Carvalhal as the new Swans manager.

In transfer news, Virgil Van Dyke completes his move to Liverpool for £75m. Is he worth the money? Is he the answer to that Liverpool so called "Back line" ?

Find out who our most recent candidate is for the 2018 World Cup Squad.. But who will they be replacing?

28/12/2017 - Our Prayers Are Answered

footballfoundry — Thu, 28 Dec 2017 09:56:39 +0100

With Harry Kane totally smashing 2017, could our hopes for some International success fall into this man’s hands?

Paul Clement is the most recent manager to be signing on at the JobCentre, but who will take over? A return for Gary Monk? Or a return for 4 game flop Frank De Boer?

Coutinho is back to his very best with yet another world class performance for Liverpool but can they hold onto him heading into the January Transfer Window.
