Welcome to Episode 65 of The Half & Half Scarf Football Podcast with Nick & Dom.

Recorded on Bank Holiday Monday (31st August), this is our first reflection on some of the things we have seen, picked up and would like to share from our early season games, research & extensive analysis across the Premier League, Championship, EFL & the SPL.

Loads to get stuck into now that PROPER football - the football we all love, is back up and running.....

Forget the World Cup, the forthcoming Nation's League and whatever else is happening in other areas like FIFA - take a little time to listen and see if we are discussing the things that other football fans talk about on their way to games, in the pub on and outside of matchday, on the concourse, or after the match - we think we are and we think you will enjoy the podcast.

So, apart from EVERYONE, who do we think might have a special interest in this particular episode;

• Man City Fans
• Evertonians
• Newcastle Fans
• Millwall Fans
• Spurs Fans
• Villa Fans
• Reading & Luton Fans#
• Celtic & Rangers Fans
• Russell Martin
• Port Vale Fans
• Boro Fans
• West Brom Fans

We also discuss some of the new rule changes (and how they are going in actual games), why VAR might be less of a hindrance (so far) and we also want to know which returning player has already scored against you after only 2 or 3 games - because they ALWAYS do!

If you want to comment or reach out, please do. We would love to hear from you......
