A class episode this: four games, two quizzes, introducing AngeWatch, BotP, Sam reveling in Scottish glory, Gattuso being annoyed, Mucha flapping, Van Buren's three-goal term, and a lot of general silliness.

Kit sponsors! Classic teams! Mascots! Football in 2023! Other topics! ALL HERE! Yes, here it is, Sam's Big Football Quiz (aka The Quiz of Choice). A couple of great rounds and some interesting twists to keep you on the edge of wherever you sit when you listen to podcasts. Or the edge of the pavement if you listen while walking.
If you've missed this new, extremely tenuous section of the show, here's a super-cut of all our mini-quizzes based on the niche interests of certain members of Zbrojovka's squad. You don't need to know anything about football to join in, so play along to learn about geography, history, jet propulsion and more in the company of our players.
