IS ERIC CANTONA'S LATEST INSTAGRAM VIDEO ART? 🍌🥚🍳| OFTW PODCAST 

"I've done it right this time" in the poll... Spells Dele wrong

That Burnley father-son act was AMAZING.

Just checking in, wanted to thank you guys. Started watching Ball Street my first week of Uni, finished my final year this week. Listening to you guys is usually a highlight of my week and helped me get through the last four years.

Just checking in, thanks James for reading out my comment, thanks comments for your expert advice. The first date went amazing. Turns out the meadow wasn't even a meadow and was just the name of a place in town. Already sorted a second date. For the record, shes not a dog.

James! When you wear that Colombia shirt, Flav should address you as “Ha-mez”. Missed opportunity in this pod.

Just checking in, nice to see the trio of big dogs back together

Just checking in, James your analysis of Utd was spot on tbf an excellent calm take

Calm take: This podcast is brilliant, but the chairs look uncomfortable.

#flamesupdate 2/2 I’m writing this comment the day after the formal, and I’d just like to thank you two and of course the whole community for the support. Well, I left it until the last minute, but I plucked up the courage to ask her. We were waiting to get picked up, and I just slipped in a little, “Hey, I’ve really enjoyed tonight. I know you’re really busy and all with your sport, but I was wondering if maybe you wanted to get breakfast with me sometime before school?” My heart froze for a second. All the hours of getting the angle right for the photo on my story, listening back to your advice and of course being an anxious muppet was down to this. She looked at me and said “I’ll have to check when I’m free, but that sounds great.” I know it might seem very simple for people like the big dog, but overcoming my anxiety like that is quite rare for me, and I’m so glad I did and I couldn’t have done it without all of you. I’ve sent you some photos from the night Jim, but unfortunately I don’t have a voice recording, so sorry mate. Thanks again, I’ll make sure to check in in the comments with how we’re going. James

Just checking in, A couple weeks ago I went for a few beers, on a thursday, for a leaving do. When I woke up the next day and opened my laptop I realised I had watched over an hour of this pod whilst drunk, that I did not remember. That night I went out again and the same thing happened, again I did not remember. Happily watched it from the start, as if the first time, hungover on saturday morning. Keep doing what you're doing x

Just checking in. was actually shocked at the end there when flav had to ask what James's full name was. I had this image in my head of you two giving longing stares to each other in the office, handing cheeky notes under the table and sharing a lambrini together under a star lit sky. However this has now been shattered by the revelation that flav is unaware of James's given Christan name. Now I am aware this might just be a game he's playing, a little flirt you might say, but it's a dangerous game indeed. Tred carefully my son, as one day your forgetting you mates name, the next your eating carrot sticks under motorway bridge. Nethertheless keep up the good work, yours truly

Just checking in. Good to see that the big dog is back

If we get a voice memo next week then this is the greatest podcast in the history of time.

Loz is the three eyed raven

Flav's rant on Brighton's anti-football behaviour is definitely NOT a calm take. #BoilingTake #TooHotToTouch

Flavs percentage games is the new funniest thing of this podcast ‘ I will never know the score of that game ‘ 😂😂😂

Just checking in, very wholesome pod this week fellas, keep it up!

Been waiting for this all day

Just checking in lads, been listening from day 1 and hardly comment. But after a few difficult weeks this pod really cheers me up at the end of every week! Keep up the good work lads!

The pod I most look forward to each week!

"All dad's in Burnley want a center back for a son" 😂😂😂

Just check in lads. Always start this podcast on route to football & finish off on Friday morning on route to work. Keep up the great work.

I love u James... Great pod and keep up the great job your doing and don't get discouraged at all, I'm an arsenal fan and flav out of football I like you 😋 I've suffered with depression a lot and u make my week every week, much luv lads, thank you from the bottom of my heart, you've got me through some hard time ✌ ps I don't mind you reading my comment out on the next pod to raise awareness of male depression and how much you lads help me out xx

Just checking in. Top dawgs.

Just checkin in. Flav we have mountains to ski on in Australia.

Just checking in. I have pulled out mid sex before, because I got the notification and knew I had to get a good gif. #WankorPodcast

"everyone in the championship has a go" Tony Pulis: hold my beer

Been listening since tfr days, Just checking in for the first time, started a new job in London recently so you can put my name down for the live show.

The Spencer Owen process was great Jim keep it up

Just checking in #FernReturn

Just checking in lads #FernReturn

Ach seiceáil isteach. Loving the pod boys keep it up.

Checking in

I really enjoy the bit where Flav has to rate his enthusiasm for the fixtures, please keep it as it is very funny.

I can confirm, wank or podcast.. it was quick pod nosh. btw OFTW group chat is immense

Just checking in... simple and nice 👍

Great intro.visionary

Right starting something new here quote of the week from the podcast this week it was ‘ what’s the point of playing that game they might aswell not even play ‘ 😂😂😂😂 flav is hilarious

#calmtakes is genuinely a good bit it makes good topic points from the community

This pod better be a thing next season.

Just checking in, as someone who had a shit calm take read out on the podcast I want to say I completely agree that calm takes have just become well articulated takes. We need to get back to what calm takes should have been - sensible, reasoned opinions well supported with evidence. Also best of luck James, hoping you play your situation well and next week's update is a positive one.

#calmTake Marco Silva is beginning to reel in the top 6 at Everton. They've beaten Chelsea, Arsenal and Utd in the last 3 home games, but despite Skys focus on the limp opposition every time, Silva has received little credit. Controlling nearly every minute, playing incisive, high tempo, high press football, reducing the opposition to just 8 shots on target and witholding a distinct lack of quality in the final third a more clinical side would have buried them more impressively. Chelsea face a looming transfer ban and the departure of their star player. Arsenal improved under Emery, but paper over the cracks, is unlikely to get funds to address glaring problems predominantly wingers, midfielders, and centre halves. Man Utd will likely back Solskjaer but who knows how good he is or whether the wheels will come off. Keeping the spine of this developing team and permanently signing Gomes and Zouma, along with a quality striker + 1/2 players. Everton could catch the big boys sleepwalking and sneak into the top 6

Today was Aussie James' party. Hope it went well.

Just checking in

Calm take: bring back testing tanveer

Just cheeky grin

I love the Flav enthusiasm ratings

Just. Checking. In. #coys

I'm just checking in guys.

#flamesadvice hi guys, just checking in. Long time listener, first time commenter, need some advice from you two and specifically not big dog tanveer (woof woof). So there’s this girl, let’s call her jugs, who I went to school and after several years, we’ve rekindled our friendship and I’ve started to think there might be something there. We’re good friends but I’m hoping for something more but I think I might be too deep in the friend zone. Would love some advice on how to play it from here. P.S. there’s a reason she’s called jugs.

Good luck Jimbo!

Brighton played wolves one game before spurs and did exactly the same thing and got a 0-0 draw.

How has Flav managed to “carve a career in football journalism” but have such a demeaning attitude to football outside of his top 6 bubble.

just checking in, flames. you don't need craig, you have me.

Glad this #calmtake came up because I never really understood it either

Craig only wants to go out with them cause they’re sound guys.. Ok I’ll go 😂

GO ON JAMES LAD

#FlamesAdvice Hope all is well lads, I'm currently finishing my a levels and next year I'm going on a gap year then after that plan on going to university in London. However, I'm not fully convinced by London as a small bloke coming from a small town in Wales moving to somewhere like London is terrifying for me. Therefore you coming from London I was wondering if you'd recommend London as city? Is it as bad as people make it out to be? Or is it a pretty chill place to live? Anything advice will help. Cheers lads keep up the great work.

Calm take flav needs to calm down and let his friends have other friends and stop getting jealous

best Flames advice ever.

BIG DAWWWWWWG WOOF WOOF HUAAARGHHHH THE DAWWWWG. We can’t let this pod retire for the summer at the end of the season, carry on with less football more bits. Or at least something to satisfy our weekly oftw cravings.

Just checking in...

James is right about the clappers. I’m a Leicester fan and hate them, they don’t really get used yet they get out on our seats every game. Someone’s gonna get an eye out cuz when we lose every one lobs it at people and players

Why does James' Roy Keane impression sound like Tom Cruise in Far and Away?

Just checking in lads. Life is ok. Can't complain.

Absolute shocker you haven’t put Touré in the team of the decade

I would pleasure my self first to rid my self of ungodly thoughts during the podcast, which deserves my full attention. #wankorpodcast

My West Ham supporting friend has said "our friendship is on the line" after I celebrated Eriksen's goal against Brighton & Hove Albion during the week. For the record, I am a Cardiff City fan, and Brighton spent the whole game parking the bus. So I feel like James when he celebrated a Liverpool goal, to Flav's disappointment.

Just checking in lads really Ill at the minute like constant green diarrhea basically have to get hydrated or I'll be in hospital with a drip

Thank fuck for James - the only person on the internet that speaks about Utd with any rationality at all. No hyperbole just constructive criticism

Just checking in, flav is spot on about Brighton btw

#Calmtakes Brighton stunk out a 0-0 With Wolves only last weekend.

I'm so unbelievably down with what Flav says about pundits talking about the bottom feeders of the league. Tired of seeing men contracted as professional footballers despite their team playing about 4 minutes of what can even vaguely be described as "football" per match. Sick of seeing teams stick 10 men in their own defensive third for 90 minutes at home because they're too shit at football (their job and lifelong passion) to do anything else against a competent premier league side. Then once the final whistle blows and I'm woken up from the coma I drifted into about 25 minutes into the half after some 6'2" 34 year old called Steve "Voted Leave" McNortertownson or whatever hacked a clearance into row Z for the 7th time I have to watch pundits wank them off and claim they deserved something from the game for getting paid millions of pounds to try quite hard at something once a week or so. Are we just distributing points to everyone who turns up regardless of quality now are we? That's called BLOODY communism Jamie Redknapp, fuck off. #calmtake? #maybe?

Go on James Allen son!!! Smash it/her! HOWAY the lad!

David Silva needs to be in the midfield. Although, depends on the formation I suppose

James you said if brighton played wolves they wouldn't have been that negative like against spurs. They played wolves the game before and put 10 men behind the ball and had 1 shot, 0 on target. Also brighton spent more than tottenham,77 million Brighton spent, tottenham 0. Also over the past 2 seasons brigthon have spent 10 million more than wolves.

controversial but not being bias take: de gae is the best shot stopper in the world but they need a new GK if they want to play it out from the back, unless he can be taught, because his distribution, along with the panicky defenders, stunts UTD's attacks. Ter Stegen, Allisson, Ederson, Leno, Kepa - all part of a plan, Maybe UTD's director of football would implement this

#FlamesAdvice FROM A NEW LISTENER! Just checking in! Only found out about the podcast a few weeks back and think it's now one of my favourites! Been back and listened to all of the 2019 podcasts enjoyed every second of it, however now I have a situation that I think this community could help out with! Over the last couple of months I've noticed this gorgeous girl at my gym, when I first saw her I did the classic stare and look away when she walked towards me, bloody great start that was! 😂 By some pure coincidence one of the blokes at the gym who I occasionally chat too whilst training turns out to be her father! (I found this out when they walked in together and we shook hands, she looked at me with quite a startled look, so I don't know if that's good or bad?!) Nevertheless over the last few weeks when I've seen her around we've shared a smile and a quick hello, so I am planning on sparking a conversation next time I see her(she trains hard so I've been trying to look for an opening to talk inbetween exercises) and see what happens! My situation is do I mention to her father first my interest in his daughter to maybe give me a better chance of courting her, or do I wait until me and her have chatted to see what sort of vibe I get from her? Any advice would be appreciated, love the show, keep up the good work guys! OJ!

#CalmTake: If I was a City fan I’d honestly consider supporting another team. The crushing lows and the amazing highs is what gives me the drive to go to Anfield every other week. I just think if you know your going to win every week it gets a bit boring. It’s not even like losing out on the CL is a ‘crushing low’ because most of them claim they don’t care for it anyway.

Just checkin in... I'm tired... working too much

James unfortunately the Wolves example in the Brighton conversation doesn't match your point, as they got a 0.0 away to Wolves a couple of days before the Spurs game. I agree with your point though, however for some reason Brighton have resorted to parking the bus over the last few games even though they've proved that they know how to play. I love the chemistry you and Flav have, the little looks he gives you when he's ranting about tin-pot clubs are hilarious. Thanks for the entertainment guys.

Have to move David silva into the midfield options surely

Still not sure why Salah has been deemed to have had a poor season, joint top scorer and 7 assists (same number as Bernardo Silva) and has played an integral part in what has been an incredible season for Liverpool. Love the podcast boys

Lads, I'm heading to the Liverpool v Wolves game, I am row 3 of the Kop, If we win the league look out for the 'Just Checking in' signage.

Just checking in the big dog is back.

#Calmtakes is the pod’s version of “No offense, but (insert offensive insult).”

Alright boys, just checking in. Brighton spent a fair bit in the last two seasons, Houghton just doesn’t pick any of their exciting players. Jahanbakhsh, Groß, Bissouma, Andone all in their squad but he can’t get them to play well. So instead he wants to play Dale Stephens and Anthony Knockaert every game

Just checking in to say James lad get a iorn on that shirt Christ almighty.

Michael Carrick not being one of the options is a farce. The man has won 2 premier league titles this decade.

PleAse please please can we have a new feature called “ the faces of Jim” ? I know of one man who is the taller bearded version of James , also I’ve seen someone on Twitter with the same face as him .

Norwich managers name is Gorkfark Joseph

Just checking in, can we talk about the hillarity of top 6 slips?

Brighton played the same anti-football against Wolves just days before James...stunk out the game to get a 0-0 draw. And they spent over £70 million over the past year, not awfully less than Wolves did relatively in the same time frame, over half of which was spent on attacking players. Definitely having a wank before the pod. And one after.

I reckon Guardiola’s job should come into question if City don’t win the league. The amount of money they’ve spent, the owners and fans should bloody well expect to win the league and everything else beside.

I'm with Flav, Brighton were disgustingly defensive. They literally had all 11 of their players in their defending 25 yards of their field. I also HATE burnley. what is the point of playing like that, how is it worth it playing like that to stay up. its torture.

Whilst I don't agree with Flav about Brightons tactics. Brighton played the exact same tactics at wolves 3 days earlier James.

Burnley are brilliant. I love a shithouse of a team stinking places out, it's amusing watching teams lose their minds and Burnley getting a result. They have a budget of a packet of ready salted and a free shot with every pint, they smartly play the way that gets them the most points.

Flav, would you rather Liverpool win the EPL but lose to Spurs in UCL final, or City win EPL, and Spurs lose to Liverpool in the UCL final?

Good news Flav, believe you me Bournemouth wont do a 'Burnley' or 'Brighton', one because we dont have a remotely good defensive record anyway (especially atm with having not a single fit full back in the squad) and two because its on the TV and given the piss poor home displays from Bournemouth since the 4-0 against Chelsea at the end of January, there will be a demand from the fans for some level of quality going forward

Flavs snobbery is hilarious, strangely he's echoing a lot of what I'm thinking as an arsenal fan.
