With supporters protesting against the club's ticket partnerships and policies, they look at the action that was taken during the opening nine minutes of the win over Leicester and what is hoped it will achieve in the coming weeks and months. After a good performance in the centre of the pitch, we discuss what role Jack Grealish can have between now and the end of the season, plus it was a big week for Nico O'Reilly, after he changed the game at Bournemouth and followed that up by performing very well in midweek.

We'll hear from fans of Bury, Macclesfield and Stockport with their memories of visits to Maine Road. On top of all of that... what's the most audacious goal City have scored? ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

Prior to this offseason, General Manager John Schneider presided over two major shakeups of the Seahawks post-Super Bowl roster. We've referred to these as a 'Hawkpocalypse' due to their significance. Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor, Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett all left in 2018. Then two franchise cornerstones in Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner left in 2022. This offseason seems to close the book on some remaining pillars of the Pete Carroll era: Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf and Geno Smith. But does this shift seem as dire as the previous two, or is it a strategy to be celebrated? Will Schneider's move to bring in Sam Darnold, Cooper Kupp and Marquez Valdes-Scantling be able to fill the holes that were created in the roster? Even if they don't, we should expect the improvements on defense will help carry the 2025 Seahawks. In the second half of the show, we talk about some dream scenarios and nightmare scenarios for the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft. Could a dream interior lineman fall into the Seahawks lap, or will they move up to draft a quarterback or even stay put to take another running back? This week, a writer at the Sporting News and a Discord hacker need to 'Do Better.' Better at life honors go out to a diner in Oregon and Sam Darnold's prolific Reddit fanclub.
