@thejuiceshowpod Danny Mills at right back as well! I was at that game- remember being part of a half time a conga made up of England fans and locals! The Japanese stewards didn't really know what to make of it!

[Ian Rowlands💙💛 @IanRowly38]

@thejuiceshowpod As with the previous 2 World Cups, the pre tournament media coverage has, justifiably, been mostly negative. Also, timings of a lot of the games aren't great for a UK audience. If England put in a couple of decent early performances, fans will get excited about it Coming Home!?

[Ian Rowlands💙💛 @IanRowly38]

@alibruceball @BBCSport Another great season of pods, gents. You always help raise the spirits on a Wednesday morning (or Tuesday this week!). Hope you have a great summer.
@chris_sutton73 - Just listened to the Monday Night Club. Are you also a fan of Perry Mason & Kojak??!

[Ian Rowlands💙💛 @IanRowly38]

@thejuiceshowpod As successful as he's been, Pep seems to coach the joy out of naturally gifted players, such as Sterling, Grealish and now Foden. He likes players to be part of his system rather than allowing them to express themselves. Him departing could be the best thing for Foden.

@alibruceball @chris_sutton73 @stephhoughton2 The usual excellent listen on a Wednesday morning- terrible performance in Sutton Death by someone I thought was a knowledgeable, respected England fan & commentator!
Thinking of "rolling the dices" on a Salah Captaincy on my Free Hit??!!

[Ian Rowlands💙💛 @IanRowly38]

@alibruceball @_chriscoles_ @chris_sutton73 Great pod as ever. I'm chasing in my mate's mini League, so have taken on @StatmanDave differential advice with Schade in for Zubimendi and have binned Haaland. Green arrows incoming??!!

[Ian Rowlands💙💛 @IanRowly38]

@fpl_juice Still not the best score in our School Dads League! Is your lowly position one of the reasons you've stopped doing FPL content?? 😉

@richardosman Just been reading The Last Devil to Die during my recovery from a recent liver resection. Your description of Stephen's dementia journey moved me to tears - I lost my Dad to dementia in 2023, although had lost the "real" him several years earlier. Brilliant writing

[Ian Rowlands💙💛 @IanRowly38]

@alibruceball @chris_sutton73 @StatmanDave @MarkFosterSwim A great return for 2026. Currently in hospital recovering from a spot of surgery on my liver. You gents, both on this & the epic quiz, have helped put a smile on my face today (along with the morphine!)

[Ian Rowlands💙💛 @IanRowly38]

@MatchroomBoxing @EddieHearn Deepest condolences to all the friends and families. An absolute tragedy. Hope @anthonyjoshua is recovering OK & gets all the love & support he needs.

@fpl_juice "We smashed it" - said by seemingly any group who just complete a simple task. Also, any woman who refers to her other half as "hubby" should be divorced immediately!

[Ian Rowlands💙💛 @IanRowly38]

@alibruceball @LetsTalk_FPL Good to hear some proper expertise from @LetsTalk_FPL!
We have just welcomed a new puppy & will be leaving it on its own for the first time tomorrow morning. Apparently listening to human voices on podcasts is a good calming mechanism- so I'll be sticking you guys on for Percy!

@henrywinter Atmosphere at Wembley has been poor for a long time. I'm a Supporters Club member but don't often go to games. Best atmosphere I remember for a friendly was v Ghana years ago. Also, remember sitting behind the guy who threw the paper aeroplane that hit the Peru player #Scenes

[Ian Rowlands💙💛 @IanRowly38]

@fpl_juice Arteta very similar to Southgate (who I was a big defender of). Has transformed Arsenal from also rans to runners up, but not sure he or they have the mentality to win the PL or CL.

[Ian Rowlands💙💛 @IanRowly38]

@alibruceball @StatmanDave @chris_sutton73 @henrymoeranBBC I've hit the Wildcard and looking at a way of getting this guy into my midfield?! Any suggestions, @StatmanDave ?!

[Ian Rowlands💙💛 @IanRowly38]

@thekevinwebber Just read in @runnersworlduk that you're still here & still running! I first heard about you via @nickbutterrun 1st book and subsequent speaking tour. I am just getting back into running after my own cancer journey & your story is a real inspiration. 🏃‍♂️💪🎗

[Ian Rowlands💙💛 @IanRowly38]

@coldplay & @wembleystadium - I made it!! An amazing show once again!!

[Ian Rowlands💙💛 @IanRowly38]

@coldplay I post in my hospital bed after having an operation to remove a blockage in my bowel,which could be linked to the Big C. I've just listened to Pray and your words are perfect. I've got a ticket to see you 31st August @wembleystadium & nothing is going to stop me. #PRAY

[Ian Rowlands💙💛 @IanRowly38]

@alibruceball @chris_sutton73 @StatmanDave Great to have you 3 back with a klaxon heavy pod! Just bought this for a bit of holiday reading; I'm sure @chris_sutton73 has already read it cover to cover!?

[Ian Rowlands💙💛 @IanRowly38]

@fpl_juice John Lundstram & Hugo Dallas - both FPL Legends!!

[Ian Rowlands💙💛 @IanRowly38]

@MHMMediaGroup Myself and my mates had a great night at St Albans Arena on Sunday evening. Gazza was on top form and looking well. I even won a collection of signed & framed Glenn Hoddle photos in the raffle! Cheers for organising such a good night.
