Three Sports Rankers

It's the final episode of Series 3 and it's all to play for. We count up the listener points (unsurprising spoiler alert, Rob Didn't do well), before Calum judges the best FIFA Men's World Cup Goals of the 21st Century. Sam and Rob scrap it out for the title, so get Youtube at the ready for this lengthy episode as the boys wax lyrical about some of the most supreme strikes the game has ever seen.

We're on the home-straight and that means three listener topics to finish the series. The first will be between Calum and Rob, and here's a minor spoiler... Sam is NOT happy with either gold choice. But with the scores tight, which way will he go. Let us know what podium you'd chose on social media.

Sam has gone peak Sam with his "home" topic this week and Calum has the unenviable task of taking him on, whilst in need of points. Its 8 years to the week since London 2012 so we hope this provides some much needed nostalgia, and remember the final 3 episodes of the series are "listener topics" so let us know what you want us to discuss!

It's Rob's turn to have a "home topic", and Sam who'll take him on. The most interesting element of this episode though may be West Ham fan, Calum... lagging behind in the series points total but very well placed to determine quite how bad a decision is at the top of a football club. Still no bleep button available in lockdown so Rob had to be on his best behaviour.  Do leave us a review, it really makes such a difference and remember you can follow us on Twitter: @3SportsRankers, Instagram: 3sportsrankers and Facebook: Three Sports Rankers

Its the first "home" topic of the series. A new concept that see's one of the Rankers attempt to get 6 points by not only choosing a topic to debate, but deciding who to go up against as well. Calum kick's us off with a topic he's wanted to do since the podcast started, and Rob has the unenviable task of trying to deny him a clean sheet.

Rob and Sam go head to head on the greatest sportswomen to have ever lived. It's a chance to extend their lead over Calum, but where will the points go, and with so many incredible athletes to chose from, who will make the final podium!?

As the Premier League returns after 3 months in lockdown, Sam poses the question, who is the best player currently applying their trade in the top flight of English Football. Rob and Calum take this one on, there's some overlap but some surprises in here as well, and of course a meltdown for good measure.

We're back with Series 3! Now, there's some very serious and important things happening in the world at the moment and although this episode won't tackle those issues head on, we thought it was the right time to bring American Trailblazers to the table. And who better to bring six brilliant choices to the podcast than Sam and Calum. There'll be a slightly different structure to this series so stay with us for that but we hope you enjoy our first episode back with some fantastic choices for Rob to choose from.

For this special episode, Neil Atkinson from The Anfield Wrap and David Downie from The Blue Room join Rob to discuss their top three Merseyside Derbies. It would be fair to say Neil had more memorable matches to chose from but it's a highly contested episode and more importantly great fun to listen to for any Red or Blue.

For this special episode, Jay Mottershead from Full Time Devils, and David Mooney from the 'Blue Moon Podcast' and The Athletic's Manchester City podcast, 'Why Always Us?' join Rob to discuss their top three Manchester Derbies.

We're back, it's been a while... there's even been a global pandemic since our last pod! We decided to get back, catch up and outline some plans for the next few months in lockdown. Spoilers, there are some technical issues but hey, that's the world we're operating in now, and if you're a fan of Calum's dulcet tones... well maybe the last 10 minutes aren't for you!

Sam threw a curve-ball at Rob and Calum for the final episode of Series 2... the greatest sports people he'd never heard of that were... and this is the crucial bit... still competing. In classic final-episode fashion Rob completely miss-heard the topic, but did find out before the boys went live so his hastily compiled podium goes against a list agonised over by Calum all week. With listener points finally revealed, it all results in a nail-biting race for the Series 2 title!

The penultimate episode of series 2 has Calum hosting on of the most open topics the podcast has ever seen!

A rare foray for the boys into the world of gaming. Sam and Calum, hoping for a clean sweep each to catch Rob in the standings, give their top three sports game franchises. Some predictable picks in here of course, but an absolute belter as well that had the guys reminiscing for at least 10 minutes!

Sam hosts episode 3 with a very Barker-esque topic of Best Lefies in Sport. Calum and Rob were tasked with choosing their podiums based on sportspeople who specifically used their arms/hands to make them elite in their field. There’s a surprise or two in here and a BIG points swing. Do leave us a review, it really makes such a difference and we're now on Podcoin as well.

Calum hosts Episode 2, as Who Do You Think You are and Three Sports Rankers cross paths… it’s Greatest Sporting Families. There’s a big choice to be made between the sprawling generations put forward by Rob and Sam, lots of points to be gained, and spoilers, obviously tennis features!

Rob, Calum and Sam are back to look back on the highlights of Series 1 as well as look ahead to whats changing for Series 2 and how you, the listener, will be able to award points and choose topics going forward!

So the series finale... and Calum is dishing out the points. It's greatest sporting feats, and it would be only right if Sam and Rob kept in line with the rest of the series and came at the topic at completely different angles! With two points separating them, it's all to play for, let us know if you agree with the decisions and who ends up sitting top of the Three Sports Rankers Podium.  Do leave us a review, it really makes such a difference and we're now on Podcoin as well.

Rob sits out the penultimate episode of Series 1, as its his topic up for discussion - greatest sporting comebacks. Calum and Sam sift through the annals of sporting history to find some of the greatest athletes, returning to a sport for all sorts of reasons. Full disclosure, this episode was recorded before the sad news of Niki Lauda's death and Tiger Woods' Masters win in April - we apologise for that, but there's still plenty to enjoy in here. Remember, do leave us a review if you can and follow us on Twitter: @3SportsRankers and on Instagram: threesportsrankers

Sam's topic this week has Rob and Calum wistfully looking back on some of Sport's most iconic uniforms - admittedly not the best of subjects for an audio medium so get your google at the ready if some of these don't automatically come to mind! Remember you can follow us on Twitter: @3SportsRankers and on Instagram: threesportsrankers 

After his quite timely capitulation (Meltdown!) in the last episode, Calum is in the chair with a belter of a topic this week. Sam and Rob try to avoid insulting too many sports fans as they pick their top three sports that aren't worthy of that title. Remember you can follow us on Twitter: @3SportsRankers and on Instagram: threesportsrankers

Rob sits out episode 5 as it's his subject up for debate. Calum and Sam sift through the annals of Sporting folklore to find some of the best capitulations in history, some of which are hardly believable! Speaking of capitulations... parental guidance, as the allocation of points does not go down well!  Remember you can follow us on Twitter: @3SportsRankers and on Instagram: threesportsrankers

Sam hit Calum and Rob with a blinder of a topic at the end of Episode 3 - Annual Sporting Events. They've had a week to prepare and its fair to say there's some very divisive picks from both panellists for the podium. Plus there's a sudden realisation that a scrap for points is very much on! Remember you can follow us on Twitter: @3SportsRankers and on Instagram: threesportsrankers

Team Sports... be-gone! Calum only wants to know about the best individual sports people in history this week. Strap yourselves in for probably slightly too much tennis talk (it is Sam and Rob having the debate after all!) as well as some very conflicting opinions on two of the sport's most iconic figures. Big omissions and big decisions ahead as one of the most contentious podiums to date is put together.  Remember you can follow us on Twitter: @3SportsRankers and on Instagram: threesportsrankers

Rob is in the chair for episode 2, as its his subject on the podium this week. With Premier League Frontmen up for discussion, Calum fights all natural urges to reel off West Ham strikers through the years (there's not too many to be fair). Sam meanwhile, winds back his sporting clock to a time when he cared about football. Not without controversy, the boys get the first taste of the pressure put on the judge to decide who picks up the gold medal, and who misses out on all important points.

Sam hosts our very first episode, as it's his subject that's up for discussion. Calum and Rob are doing the debating over bronze, silver and gold position, with the podium set for 21st Century Sporting Moments. There's some slight differences in interpretation, definite differences in opinion but one moment that has the two of them in complete agreement.

Welcome to Three Sports Rankers, the podcast which pits regular panellists against one another in a variety of topics to see who comes out on top in the ultimate sporting medal ceremony.
