If you've found this podcast you’d better not be looking for something too serious. Or educational. Or analytical. Or even 100% accurate. Home of The P45, which you'll be receiving from Linda in HR if she catches you listening to this podcast at work, is hosted by Eion Smith, with Bob J Priestley a…
It seems like everything is pretty much the same as it was a year ago so our intrepid trio invade Sporcle for some quizzes. Can they name every FA Cup starting line-up from the last 25 years? How about every home defeat Alex Ferguson suffered as United boss? And why do they keep guessing John Lukic?
With Dean out spying on other podcasts this week, Eion and Bob discuss the weekend's news. Why does Alfie Mawson have a sore knee? Why is Andy Carroll linked with Spurs? Who the f**k is Martin from Wakefield? All that and a fun Sporcle quiz about Juventus...
Join Ed Noelmonds (Eion) as GSITM and the P45 bring you Brexit or No Brexit! Where do your favourite footballing personalities land on Brexit? Is Gary Megson a Remoaner? Does Craig Bellamy think the common fisheries policy is a scam? Does Mike Dean have a clue about this? Find out here...
New year, same old P45. The boys are back talking all about the FA Cup and why it's not really the prize everyone makes it out to be as well as... infinite lisps? Eion makes a wrestling comparison, Dean gets excited then sad about the Liverpool game and Bob gets attacked by his cat.
As the year draws to a close, the boys have decided the best way to reminisce is to rip off a TV show and add in some quizzes. Hear all about a commentary love story, Mark Pougatch, people who make irrelevant arguments and the stupidity of discrimination.
United lost on Sunday and the boys were baffled as to how Mourinho was still in a job. Unfortunately, they recorded about 12 hours before he was sacked... Still, Bob and Dean covered the Sunderland documentary too so there's that...
The boys are back and are bringing you the funniest nonsense they can find this week. Did you know Andy Tate has a new song? Sunderland have their own documentary? Dean is now famous? Join Eion, the newly-famous Dean and [deactivated] for all this and more.
The boys are back and they're really not enthused by the football this week. Eion and Dean get to rag on Man United for a while, Dean says something positive about Everton but there's no cameo from any cats.
The guys are back and they've decided to just wing it this week so expect absolute nonsense. Dean talks about Mein Kampf, the boys discuss Crystal Palace teams from the early 2000s and Bob reviews different rom-coms.
The boys are back and they really are not particularly enamoured with the weekend's action. Instead, they talk Peter Gabriel, surgery and Bournemouth. Because Bournemouth are nice.
Finally, the gang are all back together for a regular episode! This week they're shellacking Fulham for being awful, attempting to name Celtic and Rangers' UEFA Cup final squads and Bob's got his hands full with everyone's favourite disruptive cat Eric. Also, can you tell when Eion begins to eat a king rib supper?
With the international break upon us, the P45 boys bring us the latest news in their own distinct way. With explosions, pizza adverts and kids, this is exactly what you don't want from your news. Hosted by Eion Smith with special reports from Bob Priestley and Dean Mannion. 'Anxiety' by Kai Engel is licensed under CC BY 4.0.
With Dean doing one of those 'cultural excursions', it's Eion and Bob for the show this week. They talk Arsenal being dull now, Eion thinking Fulham are still crap and some other relevant football things. Hey, we're almost on time...
The trio are back together with an hour and a quarter of top quality bantastic ladness. On a serious note, Eion takes the SPFL to task, Bob talks about how he rescued a cat and the boys offer advice on staying safe at full back.
Dean is back from his holiday so the whole gang is bac... SIKE! Eion's went to Birmingham so it's Bob manning the ship with his usual succinctness. The guys talk everything from the lower end of the table with more talk on Burnley, Huddersfield, blazers and horses. Also, get ready for an outro longer than a Saido Berahino goal drought...
With Dean away, Eion and Bob draft in a man who spent the summer in his car. Yes, it's the 'star' of World Cup In A Car, Andrew Flint and because Andrew is based in Russia then every basic Russian joke is made. The guys discuss Cameroonian volleyball, daytime television, Theresa May, questionable Spanish morality, Neil Warnock's saggy face and Andrew's love for early 90s video game Super Soccer. Plus, Bob is bullied by Google Translates robot lady.
With it being international week, the boys ignore real football and talk about the virtual one. It's all about FM but they have just 15 minutes to do it. Whose house does Dean go to for virtual dinner? Which Italian does Eion call a donkey? What poor league is Bob in? Find out all this plus much more...
With the season now entering its first international break, the boys decided to do a big good/bad episode dedicated to the season so far. We learned Bournemouth are nice, Dean REALLY loves Callum Wilson, Bob is made of pipe cleaners and Eion really does say some terrible things.
Another drama filled weekend sees the guys have plenty to tee off on and it appears West Ham and Manchester United are the main targets. Eion nearly triggers Dean once more, Bob defends Manchester trams and the guys try to decipher where Chippenham is. This seriously is a football podcast...
Another week of action has passed and Cardiff were so dire that regular host Eion Smith contracted every disease going. Fortunately, Bob took the hosting reins and the head of the P45 Fan Club and host of the West Ham Matters podcast Luke Glanville was drafted in to join Bob and Dean for what can only be described as a mild train wreck.
The opening weekend of the Premier League has really changed the boys. Well, we mean Dean really. This week he pulls off an art reference; loses the concept of a greeting and has a barney with Eion over Jamie Vardy. Plus Cardiff take a pounding as do the boys' predictions.
The transfer window has been kind to the P45 boys approaching deadline day: Eion's released a wisdom tooth but Bob's picked up two temperamental youngsters and Dean has got a hell of a freebie mic. They're previewing the Premier League season bringing glory to City and doom to pretty much anyone below Liverpool. Plus, Bob's cat has his say on Brighton's chances this season.
Ronnie Dog Media sent their intrepid reporter out to get a quick world exclusive with the P45's very own Scouser Dean Mannion. Dean gives us his thoughts on the season just gone; pre-season preparations and whether there will be any wheeling and dealing in the transfer window from the guys.
With the World Cup now over, Eion and Dean are left to hold the fort after Bob goes down with a mysterious 'internet injury', No matter as the two of them play Football Manager and talk Rangers TV commentators, Domagoj Vida being crap, Manchester United's transfers and... erm... Sasha Baron Cohen? Plus, how many times can you hear the seagulls in the background?
Eion's back in the hotseat so the P45 goes raw this week. You can feel like you're in the call with them and boy, do you wish you weren't. They talk taking Trent Alexander-Arnold to the park, SNP MP Mairi Black's tweets, Antti Niemi and t-shirts...
There's no Eion this week so Bob is the less than able deputy filling in and he opens with the worst intro in P45 history (can you guess who writes these descriptions?). He's joined by Dean and Dave as Dave drops out halfway through; Dean drinks a beer and Bob answers the door. They're also mentioning the World Cup too...
Another week of World Cup action has passed so the boys naturally manage to talk about everything but. Bob's searching for Jamie Theakston's height, Dean's being extra professional and Eion is angry. Plus, Bob has a film recommendation
The World Cup is underway people and the boys have plenty to talk about! Dean returns fully unprepared; Bob reveals why Roberto Martinez needs to go in front of The Hague and Eion goes on a tirade about Mark Pougatch. Does this only have to happen every four years?
Believe it or not, this is a World Cup preview episode. Dean's not here so we've gone to the standby list and got Dave (@cm9798) to join Eion and Bob. They're talking ITV Player, Jonathan Wilkes on a cruise ship, Rashford and Lingard's rather 'special relationship' and Mario Gomez. Plus, some serious World Cup chat is in there too...
Load up the YouTube, find the questionably named channel and get excited for the World Cup as the boys find the laziest content they can this week. Bob does his best to elongate the podcast, Eion calls Japan 'just s**t' and Dean says 'wow' capturing the true spirit of Brazil 2014...
Bob's caught World Cup fever and he's passed on a little bit to Eion and Dean this week. Symptoms include watching goals from previous tournaments while recording a podcast. The guys are previewing the Ronnie Dog Media World Cup coverage, talking kits and how Eion ended up in the Costa Rica squad. Plus, some final happened...
It's another end of season nonsense show so the boys decide to do their own team of the season which features Salif Diao, West Ham and Dean and Eion completely forgetting about Saido Berahino. Plus, find out why Bob said the immortal line that serves as this week's title...
With absolutely nothing to play for on the final day, the boys have begun their fifteen weeks of season review shows. Who is a 2018 Salif Diao? Who wins the P45 award? Will Burnley Brexit their way to European glory? All this & more...
The guys are back with actual #content. Find out who doesn’t have a sticker album just yet and what everyone thinks of Stoke going. Plus, a moment of silence for a fallen joke
The boys have absolutely nothing to talk about this week so be prepared for an episode of total chaos. Hear all about Dean's goalkeeping performance he "was happy with"; how Eion got a free sticker album and just who will make the England squad for Russia according to Panini? Plus, who the hell are Rob and Mean Dannion?!
It's the debut of episode of The P45 which is totally original and not similar to anything at all. Host Eion Smith (@LongBallFoot) is joined by Bob Priestley (@BobJPriestley) and Dean Mannion (@Dean_Man7) to discuss the week's big news: the chronology of Sunderland managers. Plus there's loads on some French boy handing his notice in and an English teenager abroad
