St Johnstone's relegation from the Premiership is a done deal - and it has been a long time coming. On this week's Spoony Chop, Eric Nicolson, Stuart Cosgrove and Sean Hamilton dig deep into what has gone wrong at McDiarmid Park, when it began and what was - or was not - done to arrest the decline. And should Saints fans want Dundee at risk of joining them in the Championship via the play-offs?

On this week's Spoony Chop, Stuart Cosgrove, Eric Nicolson and Sean Hamilton discuss the hugely disappointing loss to Kilmarnock, Simo Valakari's position as manager and the requirement - as a bare minumum - for a purposeful performance against County.

With Simo Valakari's side now eight points adrift at the bottom of the Premiership, this week's Spoony Chop sees Stuart Cosgrove, Eric Nicolson and Sean Hamilton discuss a dismal few weeks on the park, a squad-weakening first week of the transfer window and what fans are entitled to expect from the club from now until it closes (plus Fran Franczak love-in).

St Johnstone are bottom of the Premiership at Christmas after defeat to Hearts. On this week's Spoony Chop, Stuart Cosgrove, Eric Nicolson and Sean Hamilton pick through the bones of a poor performance at Tynecastle, discuss the prospect of facing Dundee United on Boxing Day and assess the club's requirements from a crucial January transfer window.

St Johnstone suffered a season-worst sickener in defeat to St Mirren. In this week's Spoony Chop, Stuart Cosgrove, Eric Nicolson and Sean Hamilton rake over the still-burning coals of Saints' loss, taking in the good and the bad of their performance, some contentious referee decision-making and a pre-match radio chat that reeked of misconceptions.

On this week's Spoony Chop, Stuart Cosgrove, Eric Nicolson and Sean Hamilton chew on the weekend's heartening win over Kilmarnock, which featured yet another star turn from Sven Sprangler, Bozo Mikulic's first start in defence and a first headed goal of the season, from Mackenzie Kirk.   The guys also ponder St Johnstone's place in the geopolitics of the former Yugoslavia, Napoleon's likely view on Tommy Wright and pay tribute to Kenny Aird after the Willie Ormond-era great's death.

On this week's edition of the Spoony Chop - the Courier's new, weekly St Johnstone podcast - things get 'philosophical'.   Host Eric Nicolson is joined by Stuart Cosgrove and Sean Hamilton to discuss frustration around a defeat to Hearts that ripped up the in-game script, a young goalkeeping duo's desperate need for support and whether Croatian centre-half Božo Mikulić's work permit will be sorted in time to face Motherwell.

'The Spoony Chop' is the Courier's new, weekly St Johnstone podcast - and what better way to kick-off than by getting stuck into the superb, come-from-behind win over Dundee.    In episode one, regular panellists Eric Nicolson, Stuart Cosgrove and Sean Hamilton discuss the new manager's rapid, transformative impact at McDiarmid Park, whether it can be maintained and who looks like playing a key role.
