Chris Phillips -chief sports reporter for the Southend Echo and ‘I’ve Got Blues For You’ podcast – joins Turner and Nick in a chat about Simon Cox, the situation that led him to Western Sydney, what Simon offers with his football, what he will bring to the pitch and gives us an insight into the […]
The inevitable came through on Monday morning after a frustrating and performance void of any spark or optimism. Markus Babbel’s run as Wanderers manager is over after a near year and a half and it hasn’t been the best. Turner, Josh and Nick are joined by the man-in-demand Stephen to discuss Babbel’s dismissal, what went […]

The competition is in knockout […]
Around The Bloc’s monopoly of the Podcast D’Or is over, as fans awoke on a grey and gloomy Friday morning, shocked to hear that their favourite podcast had not made the shortlist. Looking to add a third star to their logo (or change it to a single star with the number 3 in it), most […]
