Episode 34 : 18 Shades of Grey

irishpodcastnetwork — Wed, 05 Sep 2012 18:00:32 +0000

After a round of golf and the very startling revelation that Sully’s hair is going grey we sit down in the sauna that is our recording area to discuss the last three weeks of football and see how our predictions for the season are panning out thus far! Its been a decent start to the season with RVP netting a hat trick, Hazard lording it for Chelsea, Swansea scoring freely, Man City winning ugly and Liverpool just being ugly, both on and off the park.

We also have Getting Bling with Brian Ring, Fantasy Football, The Gospel According to Joey Barton and an e-mail, you’ll have to hear how that goes!

Episode 34 : New Voices

irishpodcastnetwork — Thu, 16 Aug 2012 23:00:26 +0000

WE’RE BACK!!! Well Sully is and he’s brought a new friend, Brian Ring. He made out that he was nervous but it wasn’t long before the lads we’re building up a rapour and having a right go off each other. In the first episode of the new season the lads look back at a busy summer of movements and transfers. Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs have all new names at the helm as well as a load of other teams too. Chelsea have probably brought in the most number of top quality players but United made the ultimate signing, RVP from Arsenal finally!! We also give our predictions for the season coming, they’re a bit mad to be fair.

We now have Getting Bling with Brian Ring. It even looks good when you right it and Fantasy Football will be taking a permanent spot on the show!!

Euro 2012 Episode 5: Pineapple!

irishpodcastnetwork — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 18:38:33 +0000

The Euro’s are over and Spain are champions and its unfortunately it boiled down to a bit of a non event as Spain absolutely murdered a tired and worn out Italian side! The lads look back at the two semis as Spain toppled Portugal on penalties and Germany were out classed by Pirlo.

Steve is back and arrives late half way through the recording, and Sully gets injured half way through, with a serious case of man flu, he apologises for the amount of sneezing in the show. The three lads look back at their highlights and the low points of the tournament and Steve gives us a run down of his trials and tribulations in Poznan.

Euro 2012 Episode 3: Nationality change

irishpodcastnetwork — Tue, 19 Jun 2012 17:36:55 +0000

We’re changing where we’re from, simple as Sully is German and Knowlesy is Spanish. It helps with the embarrassment. Embarrassed by tactics, team selection and squad selection and by a drunken chairman. All in all its been a disappointment from beginning to end for the Irish and the lads try and work out why and how things can be changed.

We look at the other groups as Russia crash out, Germany are solid and Portugal impress! Spain are through as leaders and we still have to wait and see if it will be England, France or Ukraine they will face. We also have Arse of the Week and the completion of GBWAOS week 1 and the start of week 2

Euro 2012 Episode 1: Where’s my sticker book?

irishpodcastnetwork — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 13:10:51 +0000

So you thought with the season over that, that was the last you’d hear from Sully and Steve. Well you were half right because in the very first episode of EatPrayFootball the European Edition, Sully must say goodbye to Steve as he leaves for the Euros, not before getting his insight into how he is feeling about his trip and how he thinks the tournament will pan out.

This left a void in the show, Sully didn’t fancy talking to himself for three weeks so he is joined by Andrew Knowles of Mostly Movies and Andrew will be part of the Euros team for the duration of the Championship. In the episode the lads preview every group playing particular attention to Group C, and give their predictions for every group, all the way to the finalists’ and eventual winners! They also give a slight insight into where their money will be going before the competition begins!

Interview with John Delaney

irishpodcastnetwork — Tue, 29 May 2012 04:33:14 +0000

The EatPrayFootball team don’t do things by half. With Euro 2012 on the horizon and with the Republic Of Ireland competing in the tournament, we wanted a big time guest. We didn’t want just a journalist or a pundit, we wanted someone directly involved who could give us a unique insight into the going on’s ahead of the big tournament.

What started as a couple of pints in the presence of John Delaney in Kehoe’s Pub off Grafton Street in Dublin, led to exchange of email addresses and the persistent asking of “When are we going to get that interview John????”. And to be fair to the man, John Delaney, with a very busy schedule, was as good as his word in granting a one-on-one with myself. At FAI Headquarters in Abbotstown in early May, Stephen met John…and you’ll just have to listen to the podcast to see how he got on.

Drunken Ramblings 2k12

irishpodcastnetwork — Mon, 21 May 2012 21:15:54 +0000

The Champions League final is the culmination of an entire season from Europe’s finest. The Championship Playoff Final can vault a team toward the hallowed turf of the Premier League. The Heineken Cup is a rugby match. EatPrayFootball comes together to celebrate this occasion by inviting a few heads from The Game ‘Shroom and Mostly Movies into the fray and we just record the whole thing. Think of it as a social experiment as much as it is a podcast about football.

Listen to the lads reaction, as it happens, with regard Big Sam getting his top flight stripes once more, something called the “Cullen to Kearney scale” and JT lifting the trophy aloft his “lionheart” head.

Episode 33: The one with Joey Barton

irishpodcastnetwork — Mon, 14 May 2012 20:01:56 +0000

Sully and Twomey wind down the season as its Man City who snatch the title from United’s grasp! Thanks to Joey Barton time? The league table actually stayed exactly the same as Arsenal finished 3rd, just, and Spurs took 4th place. Bolton could only manage a draw at Stoke which sealed their Championship fate.

We also have a Premier League round up, season review - including Goal, Signing, Flop, Manager and Gripe of the season. We also look at Fantasy Football as Sully takes the Daddas Demon league, and took the cup aswell as Aguero’s late goal made him about 250 euro. All this plus Arse of the Week, (Year) and the longest Gospel According to Joey Barton yet, he had a lot to say!!

Episode 32: Within touching distance

irishpodcastnetwork — Tue, 08 May 2012 12:47:47 +0000

The title is pretty much decided but there is an almighty amount still to play for as the race for a Champions League spot and the race to stay up is still up in the air. Man City were impressive against Newcastle winning 2-0 at the Sports Direct Arena. That should have spelt the end for Newcastle’s Champions League hopes but Arsenal slipped up against Norwich and Spurs drew 1-1 with Aston Villa. We look at whether Arsenal can keep on relying on RVP and if Spurs can strengthen enough during the summer to challenge at the very top of the league. We also look at the bottom of the table as QPR and score or get sent of Cisse gets them a possibly vital 3 points at Stoke. Now its a wait and see situation as Blackburn host Wigan tonight.

The 23 man Irish squad is announced and there are no shocks, McLean got in and Andy Reid didn’t. James McCarthy was left out due to personal circumstances and we’re technically the first broadcasters to give you this information, well we would have been if we recorded live, we even got there before SSN! We also look at Fantasy Football, its very much Squeaky Bum Time as there’s only nine points in it going into the final week, at least one title goes down to the wire this season. We’ve also got Arse of the Week, Getting Bling and a mind boggling e-mail. It will actually confuse you!!

Episode 31: Derby day

irishpodcastnetwork — Tue, 01 May 2012 19:31:16 +0000

Its officially back on again, but kind of all over in a sense because Man City beat Man Utd 1-0 at the Etihad last night to take a very serious step towards lifting the title this season. There was so much to talk about we didn’t even mention that it’s Episode 31 this week, 31 means loads of stuff, just google it!! We debate the merits of Mancini’s team selection and how Fergie got it oh so wrong. did playing Park, Giggs, Nani and Smalling cost the great one his 20th title? In other news, there was a load of other games the only noticeable one being Wigan’s 4-0 drubbing of Newcastle cementing their place in the Premier League and even further showing why Martinez is the greatest manager of all time.

We also look at the appointment of Roy Hodgson as permanent England manager and wonder what exactly Arry did to not get his dream job. We still reckon it’ll make no difference to English hopes at Euro 2012. We have no e-mail this week just a little anecdote about a big club in the championship (Leeds, not really a big club though) and we have a regular Arse of the Week again, probably the biggest Arse there is, but we still love him. Getting Bling is here as well, its getting close to closure as a segment however as Sully is well and truly broke.

Episode 25: Why I stopped doing a podcast with you

irishpodcastnetwork — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 05:49:28 +0000

Episode 25 starts with a rant and ends with a world exclusive. AIB are the reason Twomey is so disgruntled with the world, Twitter war to follow. The lads finally got down to football and Manchester was the main subject this week as the Reds took over top spot as City slipped up at the Swansea, the Welsh side proving once again that they fear no one at home. United had a routine win over in form West Brom, with Rooney grabbing himself a brace! Liverpool’s poor form continued as another goal mouth calamity cost them all three points at the Stadium of Light. QPR are robbed of a goal as goal mouth technology comes into question again, but realistically they would have lost either way. Chelsea scrape a 1-0 win and Spurs lose there third on the trot and their grip on 3rd and potentially fourth place. The Wolves chairman cried too, along with a sad Man City fan.

We look at Champions League as there may not be an English team in Europe come Thursday night and the roles are reversed as FC Namechange’s mnager John O’ Sullivan is interviewed by a Clay Davis Shite XI groupie. We’ve also got Arse, Bling and an anonymous Email.

All this plus an exclusive that will blow your mind, we’re no longer homeless…just click play!

Episode 24: Time to say goodbye

irishpodcastnetwork — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 05:23:17 +0000

As the title of Episode 24 suggests, AVB’s reign as Chelsea manager finally came to an end at the weekend after his side’s 1-0 defeat to in form West Brom. RDM is the new manager (Roberto di Matteo) is the new man at the helm but we ask whether that will make any difference to this club’s worst campaign in ten years. Spurs out play United at the Lane but still lose 3-1 and slip to there third league loss in a row. Are they now locked in a battle for 3rd and 4th place with Arsenal Liverpool and Chelsea. The former beat Liverpool 2-1 as RVP grabbed a brace and Wenger took Manager of the Month, he was as shocked as we were. Newcastle and Sunderland played out a proper derby game and Alan Pardew proved how much we rightfully dislike him having a go off God on the sideline, the game finishing 1-1. Fulham murdered Wolves 5-0 as Pogbababababa grabbed himself a hat trick and potentially a permanent deal. Also, we still hate Wigan!!

The theme music is finally here for the Gospel According to Joey Barton and it is unreal!! But Joey has suddenly got very boring, talking Soccer AM and QPR The Four Year Plan, we still love him though!

All this plus emails, Arse of the Week, Getting Bling with John O’ Sullivan in the most PG rated episode of EPF thus far, well PG ish rated!! Keep it here!!

Episode 22: Shaun Derry

irishpodcastnetwork — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 22:03:42 +0000

Its Pancake Tuesday, but the lads decide to eat football for an hour instead for Episode 22! FA Cup takes centre stage this week as Chelsea stumble again, which prompts Drogba to take the team talk in the tunnel at half time! Another sign that AVB’s time is running out? Arsenal will go another year without a trophy, dumped out by the ever impressive Sunderland until the guidance of the God like figure that is Martin O’ Neill. Spurs underestimate their opposition and get a worrying draw against Stevenage! And there’s wins for Everton, Stoke and Leicester.

We look at the possibility of there being no more Rangers in a number of weeks as they go into administration, and possible liquidation, is this the end of the most successful team in Europe?

We also have The Gospel According to Joey Barton, Praise to you Lord Jesus Joey, Getting Bling with John O’ Sullivan, Arse of the week, emails and a whole lot of pancakey goodness!

Episode 21: Football, what has happened you?

irishpodcastnetwork — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 05:38:07 +0000

In this episode of EPF, we issue a sincere apology to those who missed us last week, pesky gremlins!! Suarez and Evra once again top the bill, the handshake that wasnt, first Evra then Rio, Evra’s over exuberance at full time and Luis kicking the ball at the dugout. Oh and United won 2-1. Chelsea slip up at Everton, we look at the changes at Stamford Bridge over the past number of years. Spurs hockey Newcastle but will Harry take the leap of faith into international management? Thierry Henry bids farewell to Arsenal in style showing his class nicking a 2-1 victory from Sunderland! Business as usual for Man City, Norwich and Swansea play ball and, poor old Mick McCarthy gets the sack after a shocking 5-1 loss at Molineux, but no one was in anyway shocked.

James McClean (McClane) is the topic of discussion for this weeks e-mail, why oh why won’t Trap pick him? Twomey is okay with the situation but it’s now Sully’s mission in life to get him to the Euros.

All this plus a lovely ode to the late great Whitney Heuston, frankly is she heard our medley of her songs, she would probably wish she’d never sang them!! Keep it here!

Episode 20: Algorithms

irishpodcastnetwork — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 05:37:31 +0000

The return of Aarron Roberts is very close, so for now it is just Sully and Steve to chat about the weekends FA Cup action. The fact of the matter was, not a lot happened on the field, apart from King Kenny getting the better of Sir Alex in a dower affair at Anfield. The actions of both sets of fans was cringe worthy at times and the lads look at the potential ramifications of these actions. Terry vs Ferdinand turned into the “no shaking hands” match as the FA said no to the customary pre match walk by, possibly to keep Terry and Ferdinand out of the headlines. The rest of the ties failed to inspire with a good fight back from Arsenal and Brighton taking down a full strength Newcastle side. The lads look at the draw from the 5th round that really favoured all the Premiership sides!!

We also look this week at the Transfer Deadline day which without Jim Whyte could be very similar to the previous 30 days of the window, slow boring and extremely uneventful, the lads try desperately to find some bright light amongst the darkness tho, with the potential return of Mr Offside D. Cisse!!

All this plus the Gospel According to Joey Barton, more priceless tweets from the King of Twitter, Getting Bling, Arse of the Week and a helping hand from our IPN counterpart Michael Hynes…its 62 minutes of Footbally banter!!

Episode 19: Hashtag mute

irishpodcastnetwork — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 05:32:26 +0000

One of the more eventful weekends in football is followed by a cracking episode with one healthy full voiced member and a hoarse not so healthy member who clearly had an eventful weekend himself!

Manchester got 2 over London this week as United and City beat Arsenal and Spurs respectively, but the main talking point was ‘Not so Super Mario’ and his assault on the head of Scott Parker, which has cost him 4 more games suspended, are his antics finally getting too much? Clint Dempsey and Robbie Keane prove that good footballers can have some relation to America, as Fulham hockey Newcastle 5-2 and Keane beats Wolves 3-2.

We also have a look at the tweets of Joey Barton, and have a look at what makes a good manager, a good manager!!

All this plus Arse of the Week, Getting Bling (just about) with John O’ Sullivan, Emails and a sincere apology from Sully for sounding like he has just hit puberty!

Episode 18: RRR - Race, Row & Rooney

irishpodcastnetwork — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 06:00:59 +0000

With Aarron Roberts out, John O’ Sullivan and Stephen Twomey look back on a busy Christmas period which included Blackburn and Newcastle toppling United, Sunderland robbing Man City and Aston Villa hockeying Chelsea. We also look at the Wayne Rooney debate, will he stay or will he go? The lads seem to think the former! Plus they finally get to sink their teeth into Suarez debate. They debate whether Liverpool’s stance was the right or wrong one.

We also talk about the economy and Ireland’s possible second bail out, yes you did read that correctly.Stephen Twomey did all the talking to be fair.

All this plus Arse of the Week and Getting Bling With John O’ Sullivan and a ridiculous amount of early year tomfoolery and Santa’s back!!!
