This week: the 275th and final episode. Our London Live Show in podcast form. Two topics of conversation, one with special guest @kickback_nedum, the most democratic Select XI we’ve done and the worst quiz you’ll likely ever hear podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

Can I just thank @hughferris @stevenwyeth @RorySmith and Chinch for leaving all the episodes of @setpiecemenu up for listening even though the show has ended. There is so notch excellence there which is filling me commute during this non football wilderness. Thank you, miss you

A few years ago we did a series on people who shaped modern football. Silvio Berlusconi was one of the four we chose. Many of the immediate obituaries will focus on politics & scandal. If you’re interested in his impact on football you can revisit it here podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

Well that looks exactly like the kind of neighbourhood where fine, upstanding members of the football writing & broadcasting community would feel right at home. Two pizza restaurants, two sushi restaurants and a hipster bar in the space of 200 yards 🤌🏻

In West Didsbury, @setpiecemenu @RorySmith @hughferris! Heading into the post office to mail lots of my @StanchionZine books and magazine issues to U.K. readers after enjoying another football binge weekend (saw 3 of the 4 FA Cup matches, plus Bradford City and Wednesday)!

“His hair is tousled: not artfully or deliberately, but absent-mindedly. He looks like a tortured love poet, or eager politics student.” @RorySmith interviews Khvicha Kvaratskhelia/describes what he sees in the mirror…

I went to Naples to meet Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is the most compelling, exciting player (and story) in Europe, as far as I can tell. Then I went for a pizza tasting menu, which is the high point of human civilisation. nytimes.com/2023/03/14/sport…

Some phenomenal footballers are celebrating their birthdays this weekend. Two with a combined 380 league appearances & 7 international caps were reunited at St James’ Park yesterday

We’d have loved finding a way to turn ‘it would be nice, but no’ into an hour of content

@setpiecemenu Seems like one of the great Set Piece Menu topics of all time would have been, “Does the England Manager Have to Be English?” Sigh. @RorySmith @hughferris @stevenwyeth

And don’t forget to buy Best Man Billy a coffee/beer for his years of hard work!
Admittedly the beer won’t last very long in comparison with the amount it time he’s studied endless spreadsheets for SPMPLPL, but he’ll savour it nonetheless

Exactly. Put City top, hope for the best with the rest and come up with a punny name. Simple

Done! Takes longer to think of a team name than do the predictions 😂

The clock is ticking on SPMPLPL 2022/23 - Legacy Edition. Deadline for entry is 8pm tomorrow (16th Sept). Come on, we've all seen enough to make some incredibly rash assumptions about how things will finish in May (or is it June?)

I have a book out tomorrow. It’s about a very quiet revolution in the way we think and talk about football, and the way football thinks about itself. It contains zero equations. smarturl.it/expectedgoals

Just out here in Cork, Ireland supporting @RorySmith and thinking about how much he and his @setpiecemenu band of brothers still and will always mean to me.

You've got until 8pm on 16th September to enter/amend your entry, so plenty of time to assess form, transfer window activity and your gut feelings before panicking and changing it all at the last minute

As always many thanks to @baileymp1 for curating & managing SPMPLPL. You should definitely click the link to buy him a coffee, because a) otherwise all he gets is our gratitude and b) he lives down south where they're running out of water and beer is so expensive it's £POA
