All Episodes - The Gaffer Tapes: Fantasy Football Comedy Podcast

S5 Ep15: Week 17: Don’t Make Any Rashford Decisions #FPL 18/19

We’ve saved the best ‘til last. Our final Patreon Guest-Host Johnny Worthington joins Tom and Ash for (probably) our last show of 2018 and provides some unique insight and an even uniquer quiz. We talk the Gameweek that was, and the Gameweek that will be, as well as a quick look at the busy Xmas fixture schedule. There’s some League of Power Bottom picks, it’s the biggest game of Timmy Tinker’s young life and there’s a Gaffer Tapes first as Father Christmas visits us in the studio.

S5 Ep14: Week 15/16: Charlie Austin Ruins Dreams #FPL 18/19

Our 4th Patreon Guest-Host Dan Parkinson joins us in the middle of Gameweek 15 as the scores (and disappointment) come in thick and fast. We discuss the much more successful Gameweek before it and the hopefully more successful one after it. There’s all the usual features including a brand new one we’re calling “The hosts get distracted by all the football scores coming in”. There’s a straightforward FPL quiz, some Power Bottoms and the best chapter of The Diary of Little Timmy Tinker to date - and that’s Ash saying that, and we know he never exaggerates.

S5 Ep13: Week 14: A Hughes Decision to Make #FPL 18/19

Another week, another brilliant Patreon Guest-Host join The Gaffers. Southampton fan Raphael Briand steps in for the ever elusive Mr Hazell to talk a very lively Gameweek 13 and despair at the current form of his beloved Saints. We talk the sack-race, whether Man City can actually go undefeated this season and we review - and set the alarm for - the “Double Cluster Bag” of fixtures that is Gameweeks 14 and 15. There’s social media questions, a quiz that one of The Gaffers absolutely bloody loved and it’s almost Prison Break time for Little Timmy Tinker.

S5 Ep12: Week 13: The Foyth-sythe Saga #FPL 18/19

Tom and Ash are joined this week by our second Patreon Guest-Host John O’Gorman, who’s fills Craig’s skateboarding trainers perfectly to review the previous gameweek, pour scorn on the international break that preceded it and review the upcoming premier league fixtures. There’s VAR talk from Tom, Ranieri talk from John and sexy talk from Ash. We have some Mendy replacement chat, some Timmy Tinker, some strong power bottoms and a current affairs quiz for the ages... sorry, that takes ages.

S5 Ep11: Week 12: Tears Of A Saint #FPL 18/19

The first of our Patreon Guest-Hosts, the mighty Dan Tiller, joins Tom and Ash in the studio in the absence of Australian Skateboarding Legend Craig Hazell. The usual reviewing and previewing occurs, and there’s a hell of a lot of love for a certain Chelsea Centre-Forward. There’s some serious Gameweek 12 Triple Captain discussion, some Dad Jokes from our guest host and a Christmas Quiz. Yes, a Christmas Quiz in November. God bless us, everyone.

S5 Ep10: Week 11: Wilson. Barkley. Paterson...Sessions #FPL 18/19

All three Gaffers make the starting lineup for this week’s show. We look back at a very good Gameweek 10 for Gaffer tips including Barkley, Wilson and Paterson, and not such a good week for Craig who transferred out the wrong player accidentally. There’s all the usual social media questions, breaking news on Craig’s winter skateboarding plans, an incredibly typical Ash quiz and romance is in the air for Little Timmy Tinker.

S5 Ep9: Week 10: Sorry, Not, Sarri #FPL 18/19

A Gaffer Tapes full-house happens as frequently as a Man United clean sheet nowadays, but this week all 3 Gaffers are here to talk you through Gameweek 9 and the upcoming fixtures. Conversation and tips range from choosing Bournemouth strikers to picking Cardiff differentials. There's a bumper social media segment, it's finally the big matchday for Little Timmy Tinker and with all 3 Gaffers present and correct, it must mean it's the return of the quiz!

S5 Ep8: Week 9: Dear oh Dier #fpl 18/19

Ash and Craig take the reigns with Tom on holiday and a whole lot of football talk breaks out. They discuss Man United's surprising problems and question why everyone's dismissing Chelsea from the title race. There's a lot of questions about Bournemouth in the social segment and a points update for the League of Power Bottoms. Finally, there's some speculation during a recap of Little Timmy Tinker.

S5 Ep7: Week 8: Holmes Sickness #FPL 18/19

A certain Belgian continues to outshine a certain Egyptian and a certain Portuguese gentleman is still at war with a certain Frenchman. It’s like bloody Brexit or something. There’s the usual fantasy football tips for the upcoming gameweek, some power-bottom picks, we hear from the FPL Boffin, and let us all please have a moment of silence for this week’s Diary of Little Timmy Tinker.

S5 Ep6: Week 7: On the Mendy #FPL 18/19

The two most resilient and attractive of The Gaffers return for all your Fantasy Football needs. We navigate you through the high-scoring gameweek that was, the wrestling-heavy social media questions and some cracking tips for the upcoming fixtures. Naturally, we touch upon speeding tickets, fictional Under-10’s Cup Draws and the lads are joined in the studio by a special guest from the FPL Community.

S5 Ep5: Week 6: The sky looks Gray and Stormzy #FPL 18/19

66.66% of The Gaffers are here to talk you through the Fantasy Football this week. Hot topics include whether Salah is worth the money when you can buy a bit of cheap H instead, and who to pick from in-form Wolves. The Wan-Bissaka bandwagon has started rolling again and old favourites like Lukaku and Murray are also back in favour. There is, of course, a social media roundup, a big decision for Little Timmy Tinker and we definitely won’t be announcing that we have signed a book deal or that Craig has started secret liaisons with a famous rapper’s girlfriend.

S5 Ep4: Week 4: Hart Shaped Problem #FPL 18/19

The Gaffers are back after gameweek 3 and Craig even bothered to turn up. They discuss the benefits of wildcarding early, how to replace Richarlison and Blame a certain ex England International for everything wrong with Burnley. With all 3 hosts back, the quiz makes a glorious return and we hear more from Timmy Tinker as well as Ash, after 5 years, finally hitting his popular culture reference boiling point.

S5 Ep3: Week 3: Harry Kane and the Flipped Curse #FPL 18/19

Gameweek 2 is in the can and/or bag and it was a doozie. Curses were lifted, band-wagons were broken and Arsenal still don’t have a single point. We discuss the importance of Salah and Aguero and how putting the armband on the wrong man can leave you as unhappy as José Mourinho looks.

53: Week 2: Fall on your Shaw’d #FPL 18/19

The Premier League is officially back and The Gaffers return for their 5th Season. As well as an XXL mini-league this season, we have a Gameweek 2 podcast full to the brim with genuine Fantasy Football talk and tips, as well as some social media questions from all over the globe. We discuss who you should have picked, who you shouldn’t, and - more importantly - how you should pronounce those players names correctly.

52: Week 1: The Boot Room (Redux) #FPL 18/19

  The new Premier League season is upon us which means The Gaffers are back for another year of fantasy football podcasting. Tom, Ash & Craig return from World Cup duty with another episode of FPL advice, football debate and even briefly wade in on the pros and cons of South Korean military service. Some much loved features are back as well as a host of new items including a potentially reputation ending debate piece and some beautiful heartfelt literature from Tom. And there’s a quiz. Obviously.

50: World Cup Special: Part 2

The second part of our World Cup Special is here - brought to you by Draft Kings. Craig is otherwise engaged, throwing cheese-toasties at TV runners, so Tom and Ash are steering the comedy football ship into the Semi-Finals! We talk about the four remaining teams in the World Cup, with maybe just a little extra focus on the mighty England. There’s the usual social media questions, Tom pleads for a drinking buddy, there’s news on Fantasy Premier League prices and the Gaffer Mini-League Pin for 2018/19… oh, and a lot of sweating.

49: World Cup Special: Part 1

The Gaffers return to their roots and bring you a World Cup Special, in association with Draft Kings. Tom, Ash and Craig discuss the tournament so far, the highs-and-lows, The surprisement, and of course the VAR. There’s an in-depth look at England’s campaign so far and not just so we can plug our World Cup Song. We read some of your social media questions, come up with some new TV show pilots and there is the return of THE most notorious quiz in Gaffer Tapes history… oh yes. DraftKings.com

48: Week 38: The Proof is in the Podding #FPL 17/18

The 2017/18 Season is over. The final league positions are revealed. The quiz is tied: there must be a winner. Ooooh it’s exciting, isn’t it?!Tom, Ash and Craig are back for the final pod of the season to review a great 38 gameweeks of Premier League action, look at the highs-and-lows in fantasy football and answer your social media questions.There’s also a supermarket class-war argument, Ash makes a sex robot using a toaster and we finish, as we always do, on Tom’s traditional Lee Sharpe Anecdote. You lucky sausages.

47: Week 37: Dead Cat Bounce #FPL 17/18

The stress of doing a couple of months of consecutive podcasting has proven too much for Craig and he’s limped off with a sore sausage. Fear not, as Tom and Ash are here for all your fantasy football needs.In Part Two we welcome our buddy Dominic Monaghan back to the podcast for his hat-trick appearance. We had several hundred questions for him from our loyal listeners, which is why we spent the majority of the time talking about Dom’s love for Manchester United and how attractive he thinks Jamie Redknapp and Frank Lampard are. Plus, there’s an ill-timed Gaffer Holiday next week, so we provide a bumper preview of the upcoming Double-Gameweek and the final week’s fixtures.

46: Week 36: Ings Can Only Get Better #FPL 17/18

The final Blank-Gameweek of the season is in the bag as we approach the homestretch of 2017/18. We brag about some ridiculous tips that came in and get so nostalgic about a certain Frenchman that it prompts several heartfelt singalongs. There’s a bumper Any Other Business, a new jingle all the way from Canada, an announcement about a very special guest on next week’s show, and Craig resurrects a classic Tom Holmes quiz that has suddenly become relevant.

45: Week 35: Double Ended Gameweek #FPL 17/18

The Gaffers come to you midway through the big Double Gameweek. What we lack in knowledge about final scores, final points and final decisions on retrospective bans, we more than make up for in raising awareness on behalf of the Dildo Community and talking heatedly about personalised mugs. We do, however, prove our worth with some insight into potential Championship players to look out for next season, Ash answers some tricky Blank Gameweek Questions and we round the festivities off with a bonafide G.O.A.T quiz.

44: Week 34: Double Game-Speak #FPL 17/18

The Moon Landing, The Assassination of JFK, Double Gameweek 34. One of the biggest events in the history of big events is finally here… being all big and eventy, and that. It makes-and-breaks seasons and separates the amateurs from the ones who claim they aren’t amateurs in their social media bios. Luckily The Gaffers are here to guarantee you success in the big Double Gameweek of the 2017/18 Season. We discuss what chips you should be using, who you should be picking and where to stick your Triple Captain. There’s also your Social Media questions, a (kind of) on-topic quiz and news of a Big Gaffer Giveaway!

43: Week 33: A Handful Of Wood #FPL 17/18

Gameweek 32 has come to an end and so has Alan Pardew’s lengthy, decorated reign at West Brom. The Gaffers discuss the usual movers-and-shakers in last week’s fantasy football and look forward to the upcoming week’s fixtures. There’s a brand new jingle, a very heated debate about diving, an Avocado related conspiracy theory and the return of the notorious quiz ‘Boring Pundit… more like YouTube Fun-Shit’.

42: Week 32: A lot of chips on one plate #FPL 17/18

Another international break is drawing to a close after the much feared (yet surprisingly high scoring) Blank Gameweek. We look ahead to the upcoming fixtures and the “Big Double Gameweek” on the horizon. There’s a retro World Cup inspired quiz that will be the nostalgia-lovers’s wet dream, Tom gets all uppity about Double Gameweeks and gives himself a social media upgrade live on air. 

41: Week 31: The Whatever Gameweek #FPL 17/18

The Gaffers are back in the studio to go through a disappointing Gameweek 30 which saw low scores and bad captain choices all round, as well as previewing the much maligned upcoming “Blank” Gameweek and all its potential pitfalls. There’s some cracking social media interactions, another top-notch quiz, and keep an ear out for the door bell… we might have a couple of visitors.

40: Week 30: Ayew Two Brothers? #FPL 17/18

Gameweek 29 is done and dusted and The Gaffers give it a thorough retrospective going-over. Discussion varies from Glenn Murray’s under-appreciation to Arsene Wenger’s overstayed-welcome. For the purists, there’s also the weekly quiz, hotdogs, chipmunks and Ash’s weird fetish for reunited Brothers. That’s Mental!

39: Week 29: The Adventures of Jack in Butt-Land

The FA Cup break is over and the Caraboa Cup lifted, now it’s time to get back to business. The Gaffers return to the studio to review the action from Gameweek 28. We discuss blank gameweek tactics, the use of your remaining chips, Duke Nukem and monks. There’s also one of our favourite quizzes to date and we finally ask the eternal question “Who the goddamn tits is Andy Robertson?”.

38: Week 28: Never Captain Walcott #fpl 17/18

In a surprising turn of events, The Gaffers go all serious and knowledgable as we give Gameweek 27 a thorough dissection, discussing this week’s biggest and most impactful players as well as a preview of the upcoming fixtures with a level of maturity that is not always present…then Tom eats some confectionary live on air and Ash gets annoyed. Classic Gaffers. 

S4 Ep37: Week 26/27: Chants Would Be a Fine Thing #FPL 17/18

Gameweek 26 and the Transfer Window are over, but luckily both are hot topics on this week’s podcast, diluted in equal measures with talk about Chicken Nuggets, fire alarms and farmyard animals. We discuss the annoyance of missing a penalty but scoring on the rebound, whether Bakayoko is actually the worst footballer in the world and, of course, there is a very viral quiz to cap off proceedings.

36: Week 25: Dirty Sanchez #fpl 17/18

Big transfers, hattricks, blanks and breaks are the talk of the town this week as The Gaffers navigate their way through the results from Gameweek 24. We have the usual social media questions, a look at the upcoming fixtures for your fantasy football tips, plus a cracking little quiz, jingle and all.

35: Week 24: Firmino’s Brazilian #FPL 17/18

Your favourite three FPL Agonises return to review a cracking Gameweek 23. Liverpool v Man City, Arnautovic and surprisingly Gus Hiddink are all topics of discussion. A slight technical problem in the studio means that the lineup changes slightly at halftime, but there’s still all the usual social media questions, previews of the upcoming fixtures and Roald Dahl chat that you need for the week.

34: Week 19-23: I have Sterling. Send bank details. #FPL 17/18

Australian jungles, Turkmenistan cycling competitions and bouts of gastroenteritis can’t keep them apart, as all three Gaffers return for the first podcast of 2018! We review the crazy Christmas and New Year’s fixtures, console (laugh at) those that pulled the Triple-Captain trigger on Harry Kane, answer your social media questions and Craig gets back in the Quiz Master’s chair… watch out for the skateboard.

S4 Ep16: Week 16,17,18: One hand on the Silva-ware #FPL 17/18

The Gaffers are back and streaming live as the scores come in for Gameweek 17. Patreon Guest-Host number 5 Joe Bloom fills in for the ever absent Craig, as we discuss last weekend’s results and preview the upcoming gameweek’s fixtures. There’s the usual social media questions as well as some live ones, and the standard of the Patreon Guest-Host Quiz gets ramped up once again, with the addition of plastic cups!

S4 Ep14: Week 15: Wham, Bam, Thank you Ram #FPL 17/18

Another big scoring Gameweek down and another Patreon Guest-Host to fill Craig’s suede moccasins. This time Tom and Ash are joined in the studio by Mr “Mental Email of the Week” himself, James Doncaster! There’s laughs aplenty as we review the weekend’s action and give a surprisingly thorough preview, complete with tips and analysis, for the next two upcoming gameweeks. There’s also all the usual features, a debate about what hat Ash should wear and there’s a quiz… what - a - quiz.

S4 Ep15: Week 14: It would be Rüdiger not to #FPL 17/18

In a bid for Jeff Stelling’s job, Tom and Ash return in the middle of Gameweek 14 and the scores are coming in thick and fast. They are joined by the third Patreon guest host (and, more hilariously, Spurs fan) Jack Saunders, who helps the lads cover the previous gameweek’s results and talking points, as well as the upcoming fixtures and raises the Patreon Quiz standard a notch by providing props! What a time to be alive.

S4 Ep14: Week 13: The Sack Race #FPL 17/18

Patreon Guest-Host season continues as Tom and Ash are joined by the wonderful Adam Race. The gang discuss the weekend’s results and how if you didn’t have Salah or Hazard you probably didn’t enjoy it much. We ponder the everlasting Kane debate, preview the upcoming two gameweeks - which are in close succession, and there’s a quiz so nerve racking that Tom was physically quivering… although that might be something to do with the amount of Red Stripe we were drinking.

S4 Ep12: Week 12: The Internal Mole #FPL 17/18

Craig has disappeared to the jungle again, but fear not, as Tom and Ash are joined by the first of our Patreon Guest-Hosts. We attempt to remember everything in the absence of the most professional Gaffer and largely succeed as we review the Game-Week 11 results, preview the upcoming fixtures and answer your social media questions. There’s also a dynamite quiz, some joke telling and several hundred puns on a certain someone’s name.

33: Week 11: House of Red Cards #FPL 17/18

The Gaffers are back in the studio and back to business as we review the action from Gameweek 10. We discuss the big point scorers in the absence of Aguero and Kane, as well as attempting to understand the Man City rotation headache. We’ve also got the usual social media questions, a debate on dead celebrities that aren’t dead yet, and a slightly worryingly titled quiz. Plus, we reveal a change to the usual podcast lineup for a few weeks while one of the Gaffers jets off to work on a tv show abroad…I wonder which one of us that might be.  

32: Week 10: The Gaffer Tapes: LIVE

The momentous occasion is here! The Gaffers go LIVE from Central London to record a podcast in front of a beautiful audience that travelled from all over the UK…and Spain! Enjoy the fantasy football chat, experience the laughs and hear the questions and jingles LIVE! Kane vs Lukaku, prosthetic legs, changes to the rules of football itself, room temperature sausages and R Kelly are covered in what was an absolutely brilliant, memorable evening for everyone involved. 

31: Week 9: The Gaffer Tapes 100th Episode Special #FPL 17/18

Soldering incidents, Asian cycling competitions and incestuous caravan holidays can’t hold us bac as all 3 gaffers are back together to record a landmark 100th podcast! There’s the usual fantasy football chat, interspersed in equal measures with nonsense and various trips down memort lane. To mark our centenary, we also have a very special interview with rapper, actor and comedian Doc Brown who talks candidly about The Beautiful Game and his beloved Crystal Palace. Plus, it’s the return of Craig’s Quiz, which has huge ramifications for next week’s live podcast! (Dramatic Music)

S4 Ep9: Week 8: Murder in Isaac Successville #FPL 17/18

Sure, we don’t mention Watford striker Isaac Success once during the episode but Craig and Ash do welcome TV’s Luke Kempner into the studio in Tom’s absence. The comedian chats about why Sean Dyche isn’t the man for Arsenal, how he once captained Theo Walcott on a hat trick and throws in some incredible impressions, as you’d expect. With Tom  taking a well earned break before we reunite for episode 100. The remaining Gaffers talk football, discussing striking options now that Morata and Aguero are on the sidelines. 

S4 Ep8: Week 6: DELPHinoise poTAYTOS #FPL 17/18

Craig is still absent as we start to slightly worry about his wellbeing in Turkmenistan. But it’s ok, because Tom and Ash are here to cover your fantasy football needs, plus we have Man City TV presenter Nicola McCarthy filling Craig’s wicker loafers in section 2, providing some genuine professional football insight for once… I know, right?!

S4 Ep7: Week 5: A Tadic Too Long #FPL 17/18

Craig is on international duty in Turkmenistan, so the two main lads steer you through the week’s football in one of the most thorough, stat-filled episodes to date. We talk red card replacements and transferring out the week’s top talent. All the usual features and nonsense are here, plus there’s a voice clip from a familiar face (voice).

S4 Ep6: Week 4: Schindler’s Lifts #FPL 17/18

The dreaded international break is over and the real football returns, just as the transfer window slams shut! The Gaffers review the action from Gameweek 3 and look ahead to this weekend’s fixtures. We answer your social media questions, hand out some fantasy football tips, and we tread very carefully when Craig brings back a blast from the past for this week’s quiz.

S4 Ep5: Week 3: Reverse Hot Hand Fallacy #FPL 17/18

All three Gaffers are present and hopefully correct as we steer you through another week of Premier League action. We discuss whether you should ditch previous fantasy football stalwarts that haven’t been scoring so far this season and Ash brings out another possibly made-up sporting term. We also answer your social media questions and try to convince you that no matter how bad it is, you do not need to wildcard yet! There’s the return of Craig’s quiz, some ODDSbible bets and Tom gets incredibly angry about Green Street 2.

S4 Ep4: Week 2: Show me the Mounie #FPL 17/18

With a last minute injury changing the usual lineup, the two most charismatic and knowledgable Gaffers review the opening week’s premier league fixtures. We talk which bandwagons you should let roll past you and which you should ride into the sweet sunset. We answer your social media questions and Ash sees pound signs as he goes a little bit money-crazy, like a young Scrooge McDuck. There’s Gameweek 2 tips, plus exclusive odds from the OddsBible boys, all of which while we try our damnedest to pronounce footballers names correctly.

S4 Ep3: Week 1: The Magic Roundabout #FPL 17/18

The Premier League is back and so are The Gaffers. Those thieving ninjas haven’t returned Craig’s laptop, so he is recording remotely from the tin bath in Saido Berahino’s bungalow. We go in depth into our fantasy football picks for Gameweek 1 and we stick our necks on the line with our picks for the season. There’s an extended social media segment as we answer all your burning questions, as well as a new jingle or two, a couple of choc ices and Craig’s quiz comes at you with a hadouken. 

S4 Ep2: Pre-season 2: Live Togga Draft

In a special podcast recorded at the Double Bill Cafe in London, The Gaffers and some select members of official Gafferazzi play Togga live! Experience the excitement of the draft as everyone picks their players and attempt to teach Tom how to play. There’s laughs, beers and espresso martinis aplenty, as well as an interview with a Togga expert, as the UK’s biggest Fantasy Football podcast get stuck into the magic of the Togga draft for the very first time.

S4 Ep1: Pre-season 1: Secret Sausage and Chips #FPL 17/18

The game is finally back online so it’s time to start picking teams and with only 3 weeks to go before kick off we get straight down to business. With Milner dropping back into defence, the ‘All out attack’ chip getting the chop and Everton swapping one of the Prems best strikers for one of it’s ugliest there is plenty to talk about. We also make some special announcements!

S3 Ep30: Week 38: And the winner is… #fpl 16/17

The Gaffers are back for the final episode of the season. The mini league, Tom Vs. Craig Vs. Ash and the Davis Cup winners are all announced and the gang take a look at the weeks football news and results. With Big Sam leaving and Wenger staying and the boys are in celebratory mood, the champagne is flowing (you’ve been warned)!

S3 Ep29: Week 37: This Is Howe We Do It #fpl 16/17

It’s the penultimate podcast of the season and it’s all change in the Gaffer top ten! A new kid on the block named Kevin ruffles some Gafferazzi feathers and Tom finally comes out on top of the 3 hosts. Some football related  questions descend into chaos as the guys sexually objectify renwoned managers and they each pick a left field last week pick to try and gain some last minute ground in the league. Also, Tom once met a famous footballer? Who’d have thought?

S3 Ep29: Week 36: Auntie Penultimate #FPL 16/17

It’s nearly time to say goodbye to the 16/17 season but while many players get secretive, The Gaffers are here to talk candidly about everything fantasy football. There’s some heated arguments as usual and Tom is back to deliver Where’s Wallers and present The Davis Cup ‘properly’ after his absence last week. There may or may not also be a rant about Spurs. 

S3 Ep28: Week 35: Slip It In Niasse #FPL 16/17

The Gaffers call in a top notch substitution as Fantasy YIRMA comes into the studio to supply some much needed fantasy football sense. He soon lowers his standards and supplies a quiz that Tom himself would be proud of. Ash & Craig breakdown last week’s results and dish out their advice on the best way to end your season. 

S3 Ep27: Week 34: Cabin Fever #FPL 16/17

The Gaffers are back to their best (we hope) in the middle of a double gameweek that will make or break your season! They share captain choices, tales of woe and a some weird stepfather related dark secrets. There’s a bumper packed section of listener questions and they discuss if it’s time to drop the dead weight who have nothing to play for. Not long to go but The Gaffers will be here until the bitter end! 

S3 Ep26: Week 32: Gaffer Fan TV #FPL 16/17

The Gaffers are back together in the wake of Arsenal’s convincing loss to Crystal Palace and it may or may not feature heavily as they dissect the week’s results. By dissect of course, we mean talk about it then get distracted by something metaphorically shiny. There’s an amazing amount of voice clips, tweets and facebook questions. Some interesting, some frankly weird. It’s what we’ve come to expect from the football podcast judged the UK’s best by industry professionals. We might’ve mentioned it. 

S3 Ep25: Week 31: Train Baptiste #FPL 16/17

The Gaffers are here, in the middle of a game-week, to talk about the game-week before it, and the game-week after it, but not the game-week they’re currently in…because they’re not Jeff Stelling. There’s the usual features, reviews and tips, plus we talk to TV comedian Dane Baptiste, who is on a train during the interview…hence the name of the podcast. 

S3 Ep24: Week 30: Alan Banana Split #FPL 16/17

Ding Dong the Internationals are dead, which means the gaffers are back to Premier League business for back to back gameweeks 30 and 31. Injuries are the talking point of the day with Lallana and Coleman on the sidelines for the forseeable. Well, injuries and 80s cartoons if we are completely honest but you can’t have one without the other. Listener questions are answered and this week’s quiz features riddles so ridiculous even Batman couldn’t solve them in time to save Gotham.  

S3 Ep23: Week 29: My Hand Shake Brings All The Boys To The (boat) Yard #FPL 16/17

The Gaffers are together recording from Pimp Shuei for the first time ever! Cocktails on tap doesn’t stop them discussing the shortest game week ever and the panic caused by Harry Kane’s injury. They make their predictions for gameweek 29 and answer your questions on things they hate about football and who could step up for Spurs in the coming weeks. As always, they end with a quiz, a lot of confusion and some chat about pirates. 

S3 Ep22: Week 28: You’re having a giraffe! #FPL 16/17

The Gaffers come to you in the midst of the Double Gameweek madness. We talk about the big scorers, how there’s still hope if you didn’t use your Triple Captain chip and guide you through the upcoming Jermain Defoe sized mini-gameweek.Tom fulfils his lifelong ambition of appearing on Arsenal Fan TV and Ash tells an actual joke for the first (and probably last) time in 3 years of podcasting.

S3 Ep21: Week 27: The sell out show #FPL 16/17

Ranieri is gone but life goes on and The Gaffers pay homage to Claudio with talk of double game weeks, blanks and how to enjoy football as a VIP. There’s all your regular features as well as some tips from The Odds Bible. Tom rounds things off with some offensive impressions, a quiz and some beatboxing. Yes. Beatboxing. Really.

S3 Ep20: Week 26: Chun-Leave It Out #FPL 16/17

All 3 Gaffers are present and correct and although it takes them less than two minutes to talk about 90s gaming, they do cover gameweek 25 including the rise and fall of Jesus, Ugly Pelle and the death of Phil Jagielka. The Facebook jingle competition draws to a close with a frankly astoundingly high level of entry and even higher level of questions. Ash talks up Snodgrass, Craig fancies Mane and Tom covers Danger W*nking. Standard. 

S3 Ep19: Week 24/25: The Differential Podcast #FPL 16/17

With Craig away (for a change), the two most reliable and sexy of the Gaffers are here to talk Gameweek 24 and laugh at you if you didn’t have Lukaku. We answer your social media questions, preview the upcoming Gameweek, ponder what to do with Alexis Sanchez, and there’s some poetry. No, seriously.

S3 Ep18: Week 23: Tom Normally Thinks Of The Episodes Names #FPL 16/17

The Gaffers are here with your weekly dose of FPL, while Tom is off sick with a dose of flu. Ash & Craig use it as a chance to actually talk about football. Well, football and Playstations and Full English Breakfasts. Is the Alan Banana gravy train over? Is Diego Costa back on the market? Will Tom approve of how we treated his precious broadcasting features? Listen and find out.

S3 Ep17: Week 22: The Coffee Tapes #FPL 16/17

The two most graceful and streetwise of The Gaffers are back to review Gameweek 14, which was a make-or-break week for a lot of Fantasy Football Players.

S3 Ep13: Week 14: WrongDong #FPL 16/17

The two most physically impressive Gaffers are back to review the fantastic highs and Coutinho shaped lows of gameweek 13. There’s the usual award winning features, as well as some new ones that probably won’t catch on, like “Tom and Ash discuss whether or not they should go to the pub on Saturday”. There’s also a special guest appearance from the man, the myth, the legend Fantasy YIRMA!

S3 Ep12: Week 13: Deeth #FPL 16/17

The two most intense and refined of the Gaffers are here to AWARD some praise to the fantasy football players that did well, and do our BEST not to JUDGE the ones that didn’t. Will Aguero be the TROPHY captain choice when we review the upcoming game-week? Will a differential choice like Defoe WIN our affections? Or will we pick Arsenal’s GOLDen boy Giroud?

S3 Ep11: Week 12: Get rid #FPL 16/17

The two most charismatic and voluptuous of the Gaffers are back for a bumper, XXL podcast. Filling in for Craigy Jungle Face is head of the Gafferazzi and owner of the coolest bar in London, Chuck Bailey. The lads talk Game-Week 11, answer your tweets and emails, and it’s the return of Tommy’s quiz. Ash also attempts to re-tell a classic Gaffer Tapes anecdote… which is why we overran.

S3 Ep10: Week 10/11: Return of the King #FPL 16/17

After an unscheduled break, the two most attractive and masculine of the gaffers are back to review a big scoring Gameweek 10, answer your questions and give you tips for the upcoming week of fantasy football.

S3 Ep9: Week 8: ELORA DANAN! #FPL 16/17

The Gaffers return in an attempt to put a positive spin on an incredibly underwhelming GW8. We talk about the little players that scored big points and the big players that scored minus points. There’s the usual social media questions, upcoming game-week preview and award nominated quiz, as well as one of the most heated debates since Hillary and Trump last went at it.

S3 Ep8: Week 8: Yellow Fever #FPL 16/17

As the International break limps to a close, Tom, Ash & Craig get back to business, mulling over their #FPL futures and celebrating a second consecutive nomination for Best UK Football Podcast. Aguero going yellow causes global panic, manager of the month for September is announced and one lucky listener gets branded a Nazi. 

S3 Ep7: Week 7: Shouting at Birds #FPL 16/17

The Gaffers are back and it seems that everyone’s had a good Fantasy Football week as green arrows are the talk of the town. We ponder who to pick from in form Liverpool, and how you should probably just avoid West Ham players altogether, unless you fancy a beer. We answer the usual social media questions, try to keep our exceptional run of tips going… and Tom has problems keeping up with the conversation as he hasn’t brushed his ears. Seriously.

S3 Ep6: Week 6: We Need To Talk About Kevin #FPL 16/17

Game week 5 is over and ‘Wildcarding’ is the talk of the town. The Gaffers talk through a few options for your new look team and answer your questions which range from whether Aguero should return, to which player you’d like to bathe. Little Dommy Monaghan has some more inquisitive gems and Tom proves that sometimes a good quiz name doesn’t make for a good quiz.

S3 Ep5: Week 4/5: Signing The Death Nail #FPL 16/17

Aguero might be taking a break but Tom, Ash & Craig aren’t as The Gaffer Tapes returns for another week of FPL news, tips and made up proverbs. With Lukaku’s hat trick saving some people’s week, the Gaffers talk striker options for the coming weeks and see what a low scoring gameweek has done to the top 10. They mispronounce some names in Tweets for my Tweet, get a voicemail from Dom Monaghan in a monastery and read your increasingly bizarre emails. Tom plucks another classic quiz from the archives and the guys make their picks for gameweek 5. 

S3 Ep4: Week 2/3: Supermarket Sweeper #FPL 16/17

Due to their growing success and international popularity, the Gaffers now refuse to be in the same room as each other. But thanks to modern technology (and Tom’s typewriter) the three lads are here to review the last game-week, answer the eternal question of Zlatan or Aguero… or neither, plus there’s a lot of talk about wildcards and even more about pizzas and Megan Fox.

S3 Ep3: Week 1: Huth vs Snodgrass #FPL 16/17

The 2016/17 season starts with a bang (kind of). The Gaffers are here to review the opening game-week, point out where you all went wrong and persuade you that no matter how bad it was; you don’t need to wildcard yet! There’s the usual social media questions, the first round in Tom’s big quiz and we give you some more genuinely decent tips for the forthcoming weeks. Who would have thought?

S3 Ep2: Pre-season 2: You Can Hear a PIN Drop #FPL 16/17

The Gaffers are back for another pre-season podcast and this time the FPL site is actually live! There’s no more wild speculation, just hard stats and facts… and nob gags. We take an unusually professional and in depth look at who is over and under-priced, we answer your questions on more than just Twitter, we reveal some of our incredible prizes that could be yours in the 2016/17 season and we drop the PIN to the most competitive fantasy premier league out there. Boom. There’s also a wolf and some cheese. 

S3 Ep1: Pre-season 1: Wild Speculation #FPL 16/17

The Gaffers are back for a pre-season podcast, recorded just before the FPL site (finally) went live… textbook. Hear the speculation, witness the guesswork, experience the not-really-knowing-what-the-hell-is-going-on. No changes there then. Tom also dons the Quiz Wizard’s Cloak and we have not 1, not 2, not 4: but THREE special announcements.

S2 Ep29: Week 38 Walking Home #FPL 15/16

It’s time to say goodbye to the 15/16 season but not without The Gaffers having a quick look back at what went right and what went wrong. They announce the final top 10, answer your end of season tweets and have a look ahead to the Euros. There’s a Best of Quiz and a genuinely side splitting anecdote from Tom, welcome at any dinner party (unless Lee Sharpe is there).

S2 Ep28: Week 37,38 Don’t Pick Welbeck!! #FPL 15/16

Craig and Ash take the helm this week, as Tom takes up a new hobby of fatherhood. They discuss the second double game week, whether it’s worth the hype and try to guide you to one last moment of genius in the last week of FPL. As always, they go through the league, answer your tweets on everything from celebrations to cereal and Tom even makes 2 minute cameo about which Arsenal player to pick. 

S2 Ep27: Week 36 Dominic Monaghan Investigates… #FPL 15/16

The season is nearly over but that doesn’t mean The Gaffers are dumbing down. Rather incredibly this week’s episode not only has FPL tips, football chat and a quiz but also a rather surprising interview with actor Dominic Monaghan. Tom, Ash and Craig do their best at remaining professional. You can be the judge of whether they succeed.

S2 Ep26: Week 35 Through The Keyhole #FPL 15/16

With the most unusual of excuses to date, one of the Gaffers is absent from the lineup this week… seriously, you won’t believe why. But do not fear, the two main lads are here to talk about that damn double game week, preview the tricky upcoming GW35 and have a huge announcement about next week’s podcast!

S2 Ep25: Week 34 Cock Tales #FPL 15/16

With all hopes for GW33 hinging on Everton or Palace, The Gaffers talk about the best way to finish your FPL season strong! Listener questions include Sanchez or Ozil? Which WBA defender? And pretentious drinks? Tom, Ash and Craig tackle them as professionally as always. Just not as professional as Copa 90. 

S2 Ep24: Week 32,33 Goblin Bowl #FPL 15/16

The Gaffers are back after The Lost Pod - a week that will forever be missing in the annals of FPL folklore. Thankfully it’s a bumper episode to make up for it with all of your twitter questions, the new league leader is revealed and Tom, Ash & Craig make their picks for the coming weeks. They discuss why Leicester may be brilliant but not profitable, the return of some FPL stalwarts and Quiche. Oh….and there’s a quiz or two… Brace yourselves.

S2 Ep23: Week 31 Okochani or summink #FPL 15/16

S2 Ep21: Week 28,29 GUILTY #FPL 15/16

The two most masculine and attractive of the Gaffers are here to review gameweek 28 and preview gameweek 29.

S2 Ep20: Week 25,26,27 The Albert Squares #FPL 15/16

Tom, Ash and Craig deliver a transatlantic podcast with the Gaffers on different continents. They do a whirlwind FPL tour of the last few weeks and catch up on the Gaffer Tapes league as we near the business end of the season. By business, we mean several Eastenders references, occasional game week chat and more naughty language than Nick Cotton.

S2 Ep19: Week 23,24 Scrambled Gregg #FPL 15/16

It’s deadline day and Tom and Craig are ploughing on in the absence of Ash, while he spreads the good word of #FPL in America.

S2 Ep18: Week 22: Defriend or Defoe #FPL 15/16

There’s a change in the line up this week as Taylor Kern steps in for Tom Holmes but there’s the same trusty features as The Gaffers cover what went wrong in game week 20, read the best of your tweets and end with some tenuous trivia. They discuss whether any value can be found in relegation battles and make a heartfelt apology about their criticism of Jermain Defoe.

Tom, Ash & Craig talk a surprising amount of football, FPL and analysis, with chat about KDB, Watford’s strike force and the risk of keeping Aguero. Not to worry though, Tom soon chats sandwiches and Ash gives us a quiz you’re almost certain to give up on.

S2 Ep13: Week 14: Pheasident Evil #FPL 15/16

The guys are back with a bang and waste no time in discussing the big topics like Wilson from Home Improvements and how to murder game birds. They answer your tweets and questions and deal with celebrity fans. Whatever.

S2 Ep11: Week 11: I am Mannahon! #FPL 15/16

S2 Ep8: Week 8: Points Of View - An Ode to Tom #FPL 15/16

In his absence, there’s a fair amount of football discussed and tactics talked.
