Set Piece Menu

Four friends working in the media, presenter @hughferris, writer @rorysmith, commentator @stevenwyeth and pundit Andy Hinchcliffe talk football over food

[Set Piece Menu @setpiecemenu]

This week: the 275th and final episode. Our London Live Show in podcast form. Two topics of conversation, one with special guest @kickback_nedum, the most democratic Select XI we’ve done and the worst quiz you’ll likely ever hear https://t.co/fKgQNb19vI

@MrMatRead @hughferris @stevenwyeth @RorySmith Ah, shucks. It was nothing… Honestly, nothing, we did nowt, couldn’t even be bothered to log in and delete old files

[Mat Read @MrMatRead]

Can I just thank @hughferris @stevenwyeth @RorySmith and Chinch for leaving all the episodes of @setpiecemenu 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

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 https://t.co/dGITnBr1jE

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

@mrdougfrench @OWTK @RorySmith @hughferris @StanchionZine Britishness is contagious. He might already be incurable

[Set Piece Menu @setpiecemenu]

@OWTK You just need one saying Chorlton and an ampersand and you’re all set!

[Set Piece Menu @setpiecemenu]

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 🤌🏻

[Jeff Bogle @OWTK]

In West Didsbury, @setpiecemenu @RorySmith @hughferris! Heading into the post office to mail lots of my @StanchionZine books and magazine issues to U.K. readers after enjoying another football binge weekend (saw 3 of the 4 FA Cup matches, plus Bradford City and Wednesday)!

@ryan_pickup Sorry, but as you may have heard, the BBC’s impartiality guidance isn’t to be trifled with

[Set Piece Menu @setpiecemenu]

@OWTK Brilliant. A cross for the Sheff Wed goal Chinch would’ve been proud of too

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

[Rory Smith @RorySmith]

I went to Naples to meet Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is the most compelling, exciting player (and story) in Europe, as far as I can tell. Then I went for a pizza tasting menu, which is the high point of human civilisation. https://t.co/mgkIWddAHA

@OWTK It’s only a full house if you’ve ordered a takeaway immediately after the game from all three stadiums

[Set Piece Menu @setpiecemenu]

@OWTK 😢

[Set Piece Menu @setpiecemenu]

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

[Set Piece Menu @setpiecemenu]

@house78 We miss you more, Phil 🥺

[Set Piece Menu @setpiecemenu]

@black_bile No way we’d have managed to get Rory out of the Souk Waqif often enough

[Set Piece Menu @setpiecemenu]

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

[John Manasso @jmanasso]

@setpiecemenu Seems like one of the great Set Piece Menu topics of all time would have been, “Does the England Manager Have to Be English?” Sigh. @RorySmith @hughferris @stevenwyeth

[Set Piece Menu @setpiecemenu]

@Dgilbert87 You could not be more right, Dean

[Set Piece Menu @setpiecemenu]

@baris_koybasi @hughferris You should see the size of his house now
