As promised the often imitated, never bettered Set Piece Menu Premier League Prediction League is back for another season of low maintenance fun & jeopardy. You can enter SPMPLPL 2022/23 - Legacy Edition right here: tinyurl.com/setpiecemenu

Just out here in Cork, Ireland supporting Rory Smith and thinking about how much he and his Set Piece Menu band of brothers still and will always mean to me.

Sounds like there’s more than one Hugh Ferris…

I have a book out tomorrow. It’s about a very quiet revolution in the way we think and talk about football, and the way football thinks about itself. It contains zero equations. smarturl.it/expectedgoals

The clock is ticking on SPMPLPL 2022/23 - Legacy Edition. Deadline for entry is 8pm tomorrow (16th Sept). Come on, we've all seen enough to make some incredibly rash assumptions about how things will finish in May (or is it June?)

Exactly. Put City top, hope for the best with the rest and come up with a punny name. Simple

Set Piece Menu And don’t forget to buy Best Man Billy a coffee/beer for his years of hard work! Admittedly the beer won’t last very long in comparison with the amount it time he’s studied endless spreadsheets for SPMPLPL, but he’ll savour it nonetheless buymeacoffee.com/s8at61c

We’d have loved finding a way to turn ‘it would be nice, but no’ into an hour of content

Some phenomenal footballers are celebrating their birthdays this weekend. Two with a combined 380 league appearances & 7 international caps were reunited at St James’ Park yesterday

“His hair is tousled: not artfully or deliberately, but absent-mindedly. He looks like a tortured love poet, or eager politics student.” Rory Smith interviews Khvicha Kvaratskhelia/describes what he sees in the mirror…

Well that looks exactly like the kind of neighbourhood where fine, upstanding members of the football writing & broadcasting community would feel right at home. Two pizza restaurants, two sushi restaurants and a hipster bar in the space of 200 yards 🤌🏻

The King of the Gantry making history. Chinch on co-comm duty for actual, live televised football at 3pm on a Saturday 👑

A few years ago we did a series on people who shaped modern football. Silvio Berlusconi was one of the four we chose. Many of the immediate obituaries will focus on politics & scandal. If you’re interested in his impact on football you can revisit it here podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/set…

Can I just thank Hugh Ferris Steven Wyeth Rory Smith and Chinch for leaving all the episodes of Set Piece Menu up for listening even though the show has ended. There is so notch excellence there which is filling me commute during this non football wilderness. Thank you, miss you
