Russ and Pete on the road again, as they enjoyed a return to winning ways on the road in sunny Hampshire for The Rebels.

Justin gave us his Albion backstory and favourite moments through the years , two of which were particularly good shouts!

In a pod extra, Russ welcomed on Dave Lane from the Beesotted Pride of West London podcast for a lovely chat ahead of Albion’s nerve-inducing visit to The Gtech this Saturday. Keith Andrews has proved all the doubters wrong this season, seemlessly taking over the reigns from Thomas Frank and seeing his side into a lofty 7th in the current PL standings with no sign of slowing down anytime soon. Laney spoke about Keith, the season as a whole, the impressive ongoing recruitment successes, Matthew Benham’s overall influence, the ever present and ever annoying media bias and what it would mean if The Bees could emulate our own achievements in earning a grand European tour for the next campaign.

With a busy start to 2026, it ended up a double bill of games to cover in one episode, intro’d by The Sickbed Kid, as soon as he was half-functioning again, to briefly review a long-awaited home victory over Amex bogey boys Burnley, before handing over the handheld recording duties to our regular Northern ‘Monks’ oop Manchester way for the always daunting visit to The Etihad. And it proved a fruitful and highly entertaining match, extending Albion’s unbeaten run up there to two games and the team’s AND Fabian’s overall unbeaten run against those poor, poverty-stricken urchins to 4 games!

At last, they’ve done it! Russ and Pete have finally completed the 92, after some delays and with no thanks at all to cup draws, frozen pitches and a lack of convenient rescheduling for TV in recent seasons. Dragging Russ’s wife along for good measure, they headed up to Barrow-in-Furness for the penultimate ground at Holker Street on the Friday night (19th) before hooking around Morecambe Bay and down to Fleetwood for the big one…Ground 92, at Highbury Stadium on the Saturday. And seeing as they were out and about and that an unexpected opportunity arose for a Sunday game, they added Brackley to their ‘140 Club’ tally for good measure. Learn more about your ad choices.

Another League Cup game, another 0-6 win! Bloody hell!!! Well that won’t be happening next time as Albion ended up with a trip to The Emirates to contend with in the draw on Wednesday. However it was a great trip and well worth it, for what turned out to be The Diego Gomez Show, with our Paraguayan midfield maestro netting a, what would you call it?, double brace aka 4 goal haul, with some spectacular strikes too. In the Pod Squad this time were Russ, David T, Chris, Sam, Ahmed, Alison, Dom, Alastair and Nick…the latter of whom was on a two match attending streak - an unbeaten one at that! - easy there, lad!!! We were also delighted to chat with Tykes fans Sam and his father Simon, who were great company. It was great to be back in Barnsley. Good town but it’s also changed somewhat since our last visit, good beers, good club and good fans. Best of luck for the season lads!
