I thought I’d be telling you that Gooner Podcast number 19 is now online. But apparently not. Oh no, we have number 18 part 2 for you. After happily bringing you podcasts numbered 1 to 18 over the last year and a half, we are now dealing in parts. I have no idea why. It’s still sponsored by goonershirts, and this is the second half of the chat recorded for the December podcast (already released) on a Monday evening between the Wigan win (Ebooooooooue!) and the defeat in Porto (boo!).

The panel discuss, amongst other things, what advice they would give to newly arriving CEO Ivan Gazidis. Their January transfer window wishlists. And the wisdom of the policy of playing weakened teams in the domestic cups. The panel of the Highbury Spy, Don Sebastiano and David Oudot spout forth, with myself stepping in for Mr Oudot when he has to make a swift exit to attend what he described as an ‘adult pantomime’. Hmmmm. Lord Ashburton does the usual hosting duties.

There are two ways of hearing it. First up, online without downloading by simply clicking here. Alternatively, if you want to download it to play on your mp3 player or at your leisure on your computer, visit this page move your cursor over where it says ‘episode 18 (part 2)’ in red text and then…

For pc users, right click your mouse and select ‘save target as’. For mac users press ‘control’ on your keyboard and then click your mouse and select ‘download linked file’. Once it’s downloaded you can play the file using your mp3 software, and transfer it to your iPod/mp3 player. If you’ve subscribed to the podcast on iTunes previously, it will automatically download when it next checks for updates. But if you go looking for it with their search facility, you won’t find it. Why? We have absolutely no idea. The mystery of iTunes…

Our next recording date is scheduled for late January, so expect another offering in a month’s time.

Happy listening…
