Episodes
-
S3 Episode 1 - The Onion Zoom
We may not be here every week, but nothing wrong with a wee socially distant TOB sporadic check-in every now and then! Join us for our first delve this season into all things fpl as mixed fortunes and wild card fever dominate the early headlines.
-
S2 Ep 24 - The Last Bag
Oh hi there! What did we miss? A lot it would seem, but there's still a A LOT to play for as we enter the final week of another exciting fpl season. TOB League is going to the wire, as is the race for The Onion Throne. Dive in with us two footed, one last time...
-
S2 Ep 23 - Bitter Onions
What's the bloody point eh? Damned if you do, damned if you don't. With a heavy heart we delve into mistakes made from the previous gameweek and plan for the blanks and doubles ahead. Play for pride or push the pineapple button? Decisions, decisions...
-
S2 Ep22 - The Comeback
It's time for a comeback. Not just to podcasting but to rise like a phoenix from the flames and re-ignite a floundering season...... maybe? Wildcards, double gameweeks and blank gameweeks inbound. Much to discuss!
-
S2 Episode 21 - The Never Ending Gaaaaaameeeeweeeek
It's been two weeks but feels like the game 'week' has been live for two months! It's still not even finished yet but we must check in and assess where we're at. It's time to plan for blank game weeks and possibly time to let chaos reign for those of us not where we need to be. That is if the...
-
S2 Episode 20 - Game Raisin' Bastarts
Oh god there's a lot to sift through here. The rubble of a disastrous gwk 23 (for most) and an incomplete 'double' gwk 24 where many are being punished by unfortunate trip c injuries. Lets just dive in and try and make some sense of it all, shall we?
-
S2 Episode 19 - The Best Episode Ever?
The best episode of TOB ever? Not for me to say, but there is a new jingle, a great nickname, an INSANE score in TOB League and a very full mailbag to sift through. Why don't you be the judge...
-
S2 Episode 18 - A New Ingsland
England's Rose Harry Kane is gubbed so our attention turns to replacement fire power. Like for like? or an opportunity to get some money in the bank? One eye is squinting at the first double game week of the season on the horizon but do you need to move now or will you be rewarded with patience?...
-
S2 Episode 17 - It's The Climb
The last TOB of the year. The last TOB of the DECADE! Finishing up 2019 full of hope after some festive gains. It's not too early to plan for dgw's, there's a raft of new differentials putting their hand up and it's ever so tight atop TOB League! Much to discuss..
-
S2 Episode 16 - The Henry Hall Christmas Special
Deck the (henry) halls with boughs of holly as it's time for your annual festive treat! Interesting captain choices, influential assets without fixtures and a preposterous rappers aesthetic dominate the airwaves for your last chance to stick it in the onion bag before Santa Clause is coming to...
-
S2 Episode 15 - Lucas Digne Zombie Team
The magic of the cup is here! So too is festive squad rotation so best make sure your house is in order. Someone is flying particularly high atop TOB League and there's an inquest to someone who's struggling in the money league. Fingers crossed there'll be no technical issues this week and we can...
-
S2 Episode 14 - MNTOB - PART 2
There seems to be an issue with the file uploaded last night. Perhaps Guy's comments on this weeks #stenchofpotench were too hot to handle and they shut us down. Regardless, here is the end of the episode that seems to be cut off! Apologies for any inconvenience!
-
S2 Episode 14 - MNTOB
Do not adjust your set, you may not have any MNF but as the early gameweek beckons, here's a dose of MNTOB to get you through. There's a deep dive inquest as Stuart attempts to stop the rot. Maybe a Liverpool defensive triple up like the TOB League leader is the way to go?! One things for sure,...
-
S2 Episode 13 - Spuds
I must be honest, we recorded this then I went to the pub so I don't remember the in's and out's of what we discussed now that I have to write a blurb about it. We definitely talked about Spurs. Pretty sure I was lamenting Tierney and Arsenal and whilst Guy wasn't admitting it, he's definitely…

S2 Episode 12 - J.A.V.
nine gameweeks in 40 days! That's the headline so you need to be thinking about your whole squad. Should you be ditching all City assets? Loading up on the Premierships 3rd best defence? Or taking a punt on a highly controversial stench of potench? Find out now...
-
S2 Episode 11 - The Iron Curtain
Some belatedly spoOoOoOky sounds book end all the hot button FPL issues of the week. Goal scoring defenders, stalwarts becoming differentials and the unlikely transformation of Bournemouth. All this and more...
-
S2 Episode 10 - I'm a Cuckoo
Some late night, well crafted metaphors address the state of play in a couple of FPL teams with a few struggling cogs in the machine. Pep Bingo feels more impossible than ever to predict and for those wondering if there'll ever be high scoring game weeks again, perhaps the answers to these...
-
S2 Episode 9 - Smeg Fridge/Frightened Squirrel
No better feeling than having another international break in the rear view mirror. Back to proper FPL business and it's important we establish what happens when the Pukki Party runs its course. To what extent are United going to get battered this week and what bandwagon is everyone seemingly...
-
S2 Episode 8 - Kevin De Groine
There's a collective sense at TOB Towers that we need to kick start our seasons. There's discussion of how to undo some woeful transfer planning, reluctant praise or The Rat's Leicester team and question marks over the availability of City's Rolls Royce midfielders..
-
S2 Episode 7 - We Need To Talk About Kevin...
A slightly sleepier than usual edition of The Onion Bag delves into the weekends massacre at the Etihad, discusses some controversial transfer moves and states definitively who are and who are not the best teams in the Premiership not named Liverpool or Manchester City. All that plus some gushing...
-
S2 Episode 6 - Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?
Back from our accidental hiatus and there has been some very exciting movement at the top of The Onion Bag League! There's a lot to catch up on and lots of options to be assessed front to back, so lets dive back in...
-
S2 Episode 5 - Flash Bang
Slightly later than we'd hope (sorry).. A shock revelation leaves Guy reeling, there's fine margins from last weekend, Mane vs. Salah weighed up and mid-range strikers all for discussion. Plus we talk Pukki-Party and whether it's myth or to be rolled around in..
-
S2 Episode 4 - Wil(d)ey Coy(oady)
No the title of this episode is not a new Bon Iver song, it's a not so subtle wink and nod to the fact that the fever has struck earlier than usual this season. One gameweek may not have been a data set but is two enough to throw the baby out with the bath water? The only question. To wild? Or…
more -
S2 Episode 3 - The Burnley Red Goose
One gameweek is NOT a data set!!! That being said, let's kind of treat it that way and assess all the drastic changes we all must immediately make otherwise our entire FPL seasons will be doomed. All that plus the public shaming of one man who forget to purchase teabags..
-
S2 Episode 2 - The Final Draft-Down
Not much tinker time left as the start of the 2019/20 FPL season looms heavy on the horizon. Join us for a position by position breakdown of where we're at and who should be considered for the final few days as transfer windows close and we all have to accept it's out of our hands...

-

-
Episode 32 - Trebles For Show, Doubles For Dough?
Stuart is joined by our Spanish correspondent Ross Strachan to look at all available options for the chipless or those with wildcard fever! Kane's injury, more talk of Sliding Doors and a cryptic, or just simply misunderstood voice memo from an absent co-host all dwell within..
-
Episode 31 - The Pineapple Button
It's officially the business end of the season and there's lots to digest after the first big double game week dust settles. Who should you roll the dice on this week? Who should be in your sights if you're coming down with a case of wild card fever? And what teams have their flip flops on and…
more -

-
Episode 28 - He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother
A difficult solo mission for Stuart as attempts to tackle an episode of The Onion Bag without a co-host. Fortunately he's wrangled in a skype guest, has tales of meeting premiership footballers and a fervent desire to bad mouth Leicester's new manager to keep him busy. All that and some of your...

Happy New Year! The boys are joined by their Uncle Ross for a stat-off and a debrief of 2019's first run of fixtures. There's also a strangely Germanic flavour with talk of Dr. Oetker, Ralph Rabbit-hutch and blast from the past Lewis Holtby as we try and return to some form of normality now that...
