On this Episode 14 of the Half & Half Scarf Football Podcast with Nick & Dom, we might just be hankering back for a better footballing time.

Discussing a subject suggested by regular listeners, Simon & Michelle Jennison, we look at whether Football Was Better 10-15 Years Ago?

• Has the 2008 - 2010 Pep Tikka Taka Revolution Gone Far Too Far?
• Are Man City Boring to Watch?
• Playing Not To Lose Is NOT Entertaining......
• Is Possession and Pass, Pass, Pass For Stats Sake a Fan Turn Off?
• Were Prime Man Utd & Arsenal a Delight We Long To Have Back?
• Why Are So Many Managers Wedded to a "System"?
• Should Direct Football Be Making a Comeback or Is It Frowned Upon?

Using a number of reference points, we think there is a lot in here to get you feeling a combination of annoyed and frustrated, but also nostalgic & hopeful - after all, we now see the likes of Set Piece Coaches and goals from long throws.

Tony Pulis must be smiling on his sun lounger whilst making spoof TV adverts with Big Sam & Pards!

We hope that you will enjoy and have your own views too - and why not suggest a topic or two like Simon & Michelle have done.

We would love to hear from you.....
