Former Nottingham Forest full-back reflects on his career at the City Ground including asking Phillipe Montanier not to pick him, the stress of facing Ipswich on the final day and that famous game against Arsenal...

Episode 104 features not one but two interviews with former reds in the form of Eric Lichaj and Phil Starbuck pt 2. Alan and Steve dissect the current football climate, Joe Lolley's fateful Football Manager showdown with Swansea, his dissapearance from Twitter, the return of the Bundesliga, and why #NFFC fans rightly celebrate our illustrious heritage. Tom Head scores a last minute winner with this week's #WiggumsWall too and sets out the next instalment!

The United States Men's National Team (USMNT) hosted Bolivia with a young roster and came back with a 3-0 victory! The hosts break down the game, the goals, and take an in depth look at the US roster and who they would like to see earn minutes in upcoming friendlies. Mike gives his projected Starting XI for the next World Cup qualifying cycle, Nick reviews each player's current club, and he adds a few names to keep an eye on in Major League Soccer (MLS).   Speaking of names, the hosts can barely pronounce a single one. (Special apologies to Eric Lichaj.)

This week's episode sees the Top Class Finish boys recapping the Champions League Final, but with a focus on what didn't make headlines. The pod was also granted press credentials for the USA vs Bolivia match on Monday night, including USMNT practices and pressers. Nate was able to get exclusive player interviews before the match with: Timothy Weah - 25:00 Eric Lichaj - 28:00 Keaton Parks - 32:00 Wes McKennie - 35:00 The boys wrap things up with an Over/Under that includes...fried mushrooms?

Ty is live and in person at today's fishy bonanza vs. Bolivia. The boys did us proud and we get Ty's first impressions. Who oozes leadership the most? Did we deserve any of those goals? That was awesome! It’s We The People!
