A momentous day for Royal Oak FC as veteran right back Parksey hangs up his boots after a glittering 29-year Sunday League career.

A founding member with 742 appearances and more own goals than goals, Parksey's knees have finally called time. Steve is in bits, and he has big plans to mark it: a blue plaque in the Peace Gardens, a retired number two shirt and a third testimonial, with Dion Dublin at centre back and Angry Ginge's Winton United firmly in his sights.

Elsewhere, the lads weigh up the state of Man City's appeal, salute England's 7-0 demolition of Croatia, judge whose international farewell was better (Messi's or Ronaldo's), and hear how Steve's streaming career is going after Dele Alli takes the plunge.

Plus listener questions on first football loves and pet hates, and a tease of a mystery guest for next week. Jude Bellingham, Alex Scott, Harry Kane and (of course) Sir Bobby Charlton all get a mention in another jam-packed edition.

You can also watch the YouTube premiere of each episode on the Game’s Gone channel, every Thursday at 7pm with Bob and Steve in the live chat.

It's been a monumental week in football, as Royal Oak FC have finally won a game! Buoyed by their recent clear-the-air talks and Steve's trip to Turkey, their fortunes are on the up.

The only cloud on the horizon is Parksey, who went off at half-time (he's asked for a pro-rata deduction in his subs), while the lads discuss his future role at the club.

In the wider football world, the lads drill down into the breaking news that Manchester City have been found guilty of all charges relating to breaches of the Premier League's financial rules. Steve, Paul and Bob take a fan's-eye view of the fallout.

Elsewhere, Andy Townsend weighs in on pub toilets, and the lads ponder whose life they'd most like to live as a footballer.

Erling Haaland, José Mourinho and Hakan Şükür all feature in another packed edition.

D-Day arrives for the Royal Oak as Steve, Paul and Bob gather the team for a much-needed, clear-the-air meeting. But with many of the players AWOL, a tarot card reader in the pool room, and the players mutinous over an increase in subs, it's never going to be simple.

In this special episode, we see all the action as the air is cleared and the gloves come off: Carpet Dave makes a impassioned plea, Parksey is annoyed at Paul, Tommy bemoans the weight of the captain's armband and Wynney props up the bar.

Never one to waste an opportunity, Steve also funds a series of Tarot readings from the Oak's own version of Eileen Drewery, Spooky Susan, which reveal more about the deeper issues in the squad.

In wider footballing news, the lads also rip up the rulebook and discuss the contenders for the Ballon d'Or (Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Harry Kane) in another packed edition.

The Royal Oak is on the brink. Beaten again - this time by ten men of Packhorse - the tough questions are getting harder to dodge. Steve and Paul stare into the abyss and ask: is any of this worth it? Is the Meadowhall Premier League dream dead? Was it ever alive?

With the club on life support, the lads take a long, hard look in the mirror, and Bob calls for a clear-the-air meeting at the Oak that could decide everything going forward.

Elsewhere, we cover the fallout from a chaotic Manchester Derby, Oasis Live 27, Mikel Arteta's pre-season mind games, and a look at this season's promoted clubs to the Premier League.

Phil Foden, Bruno Fernandes, Roy Keane, and Liam Gallagher all get dragged into another packed episode.

The new season has kicked off. Unfortunately for Steve, Paul and Bob there's a recruitment crisis, with Spooner stuck in Ireland and only 9 players on the pitch for the Oak. Luckily, loyal viewers have sent in their videos for the lads to review - is there a hidden gem in the pile of video tapes? Or will they need to delve into the free agent market and look again at Wynney? In a jam-packed episode, the lads discuss Thursday night premieres on YouTube, Mike Dean's unique approach to refereeing, Carrick and Man United's current run of form, and who they'd come back as if reincarnated.

Kevin Keegan, Elvis Presley and Andi Peters all feature as the Royal Oak march on...

We're back. Fresh from the changing rooms of the Royal Oak FC, Steve, Paul and Bob return for another season of chaos from Sheffield's Sunday Imperial League.

It's been a summer of extremes: Paul's been on 15 holidays, Steve's patched things up with Nikki, and Bob's been quietly planning his own funeral.

Pre-season hasn't exactly gone to plan - the pitches are scorched, there's been a wave of player departures, corruption is still running rampant between Marshall and Merchant, and Firestick Dean's devices are, yet again, on the blink.

Elsewhere, we're making our early predictions for the season ahead and celebrating a huge trophy win at the Edinburgh TV Awards. Plus - Lionel Messi, Steven Gerrard and Roy Keane all get a mention as Sunday League's finest return for another go.

As another season winds down, here's a selection of highlights from the Royal Oak dressing room.

Steve went for the Man United gig and gave us his final verdict on who's better - Arctic Monkeys or Oasis. He also encountered Premier League legend Thierry Henry, but fared less well with Noel Gallagher, after an ill-judged voicenote left him looking back in anger.

Elsewhere, Bob showed us why he's the rain man of pies, and the lads settled the debate on their dream dinner party guests.

We'll be back next season with more from the fifth tier of Sheffield's Sunday Imperial League.

Thanks to everyone who watched, listened, commented and stuck with us throughout the season - it means a lot. Together as one. Steve.

It's been quite a season. Wynney's shock departure to the other side. A bruising, ill-tempered derby against the Nags Head that saw a painful defeat and left plenty of scores unsettled.

Steve, Paul and Bob have been there for all of it, in the dressing room and out of it, week after week. Here's all the best bits.

We'll be back next season with more from the fifth tier of Sheffield's Sunday Imperial League.
