We're back for a brand new season of No Tippy Tappy Football, ready to talk all things football and this time we're going bigger & better with the support of our new partner BOYLE Sports.This week Sam & Natalie are joined by social media superstar and assistant manager of Royal Oak FC...STEVE BRACKNALL!!!Steve Bracknall sits down alongside Sam Allardyce and Natalie Pike to discuss all things football from his social media rise to stardom to running a tight ship at Royal Oak FC.Steve and Sam start the pod by talking about some of the off pitch issues Steve has to deal with at Royal Oak including players not paying their subs each week, Tommy's weight issues up front and keeping morale high.Steve then discusses how he attracts players to Royal Oak by offering them a free buffet during quiz nights, how he conducts background checks on his players and why there's a big urban myth surrounding Big Sam.They then both discuss Royal Oak's huge kit launch, catching Parksy selling fake shirts from the back of his car & why people are trying to drag him down after his early success.Steve then tells Sam & Natalie about his thoughts on the modern game, his issues with Manchester City and what Royal Oaks aims are for the new season. Finally we end the pod with Steve talking about how Sam is a national treasure, why the duo would make a great team together managing Sheffield Wednesday and would he ever ditch his iconic look for a formal suit if Royal Oak reached a cup final?Bet £10 & get £30 in free bets + a £10 Casino Bonus when you join BoyleSports Here

On the pitch we've seen fight, spirit and togetherness
Leeds United were back in the cup with a trip to a boycotted Hillsborough against a depleted Sheffield Wednesday who played the kids in a cunny ploy to lull us into a false sense of security. It's Leeds, in the cup, against a bunch of kids…… What could possibly go wrong?

On this week's show, host Phil Harrison is joined by The YP's football writing team of Leon Wobschall and Stuart Rayner.They kick off by discussing Leeds United's reality check with defeats at Arsenal and Sheffield Wednesday, the Owls finally enjoying some positives with their League Cup triumph over their Yorkshire rivals and their come-from-behind first league point at Wrexham. Still no points for Sheffield United but some good news arrives with a step up in signings at Bramall Lane. A good night for most of Yorkshire's clubs in the EFL Cup, preceded a third round draw which offers numerous opportunities for giant-killing performances. And we cast an eye over the decision by York City to sack manager Adam Hinshelwood, just four games into the season.
High, wide and handsome. Reaction to an inauspicious Leeds United debut for DCL.
It has been a tough week for Leeds United fans. A heavy loss in their first away game of the season at Arsenal followed by an embarrassing defeat to a young Sheffield Wednesday side in the League Cup. Jonny Buchan, Adam Pope and Kaiser Chiefs' bassist Simon Rix give their views on a difficult few days.

Aaron Paul, Jobi McAnuff, Tommy Smith and Alex Bruce preview the 2025/26 Championship season, which kicks off this weekend. Are Ipswich Town the best positioned, newly relegated, side to be promoted straight back up? What are Leicester City and Southampton's main concerns? Charlton Athletic manager, Nathan Jones, joins the pod after his side won promotion to the second tier via the League One play-offs. He shares how he thinks his side are progressing. Wrexham have made statement signings this summer, can they go for an unprecedented fourth successive promotion? And what about similarly ambitious recruiters, Birmingham City? BBC Radio Sheffield's Rob Staton brings us up to date with the financial and ownership situation at Sheffield Wednesday. What hope is there for their fans? And for the other half of the city; what next for Sheffield United after their failed play off campaign?Elsewhere in the league, who are the other contenders for having an impressive season? Plus, the panel make their second picks in the 72+ Ultimate All-time EFL XI.TIMECODES: 3:21 The chances of the teams newly relegated from the Premier League 15:39 Charlton Athletic manager Nathan Jones 21:12 Can Wrexham keep dreaming? 25:21 Are Birmingham City carrying enough momentum to stay up? 26:45 Birmingham City manager, Chris Davies, audio 30:04 What's the latest from Sheffield Wednesday? 39:10 What next for Sheffield United? 40:54 Who are the other contenders for a strong season? 44:06 Ultimate All-time EFL XI
The Championship starts this weekend. To quote Gregor Robertson – “With some teams no one has a Scooby what is going to happen to them.” Big spending Birmingham City and Wrexham join the party, bringing some Hollywood glamour, how will they fare? Ipswich Town start as strong promotion favourites and both Leicester City and Sheffield Utd have fifty million pounds worth of parachute payment to help them on their way. At the other end it is anyone's guess – the spot light is on Hull, Sheffield Wednesday and Oxford…but how will Mark Robins do at Stoke and have Blackburn made the right signings? In the Championship any one of ten or fifteen teams could spring a surprise. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Large parts of the UK were hammered by Storm Floris in the past 24 hours – Will Bain hears from one Scottish business uniquely placed to share their story.Following on from our item yesterday on Morecambe FC there are yet more financial issues in the EFL - we hear about what's going wrong for Sheffield Wednesday.
