It's a Gadsby's England Matchweek Special, as the monotony of the Premier League is put on a
thankful hold to make way for the bigger, better, and much more important international week! It's
Stuart Pearce's first (and possibly only) match as England manager. But who will he name as
Captain, and what should we expected from yet another injury-depleted England?
We break down Arsenal's big win in the North London Derby, get a good look at Klinnsman's USMNT
roster for the Italy friendly, and have a good go at guessing his starting XI. We furrow our brows
at Stuart Pearce's England squad, and ask why Liverpool fans' reaction to the Carling Cup win was
so very muted (at least in Josh and Al's apartment anyway).
As the season gets closer and closer, Chris and Ted bring you more MLS team previews! Tweed
Thornton drops in to give his thoughts on the Chicago Fire in 2012. Then, Andy Edwards makes his
triumphant return as expectations for Sporting Kansas City have been upped for 2012. Next, the crew
takes you all the way to the Pacific Northwest as Jess Cox gives us his thoughts on the Portland
Timbers, and Jim Sanderson drops in to tells us all about how Vancouver will certainly finish above
Salt Lake.
Richmond Kickers head coach Leigh Cowlishaw is interviewed about the concept of cost-free youth
academies and what that means for youth soccer in America. We suggest a few improvements for the
MLS All-Star Game, discuss Carlos Tevez' apology, Eddie Johnson's press conference and ask the
question: Would Liverpool fans rather have the Carling Cup trophy or a spot in next season's
Champions League?
What a week it has been...The Warnock era is upon us! My thoughts about that. Playing catch up
after the no show last week, but an extended Glory Glory Leeds show this time, to make it up to you
listeners. Neil Redfearn has relinquished his caretaker role as manager, to Neil Warnock.
Interviews with both managers on the show and a game report with a difference from the Doncaster
match!
"On this week's Gadsby's England roundup, the search for a new England manager continues as
caretaker-manager Stuart Pearce prepares to name the squad to take on Holland at Wembley next week,
and England change their kit – again. On the only broadcast in the world dedicated exclusively to
the England football team.
We review Barcelona's 5-1 win over Valencia, paying special attention to Cesc Fabregas: Can he
replace Xavi? If so, why was Pep so mad at him? We also debate Arsene Wenger's situation: Is it
time he left? We go over the MLS trade-a-thon that was Brian Ching and Eddie Johnson's
non-committal stay in Montreal, and we close out the show with a dramatic round of The Wikipedia
Game.
Part 3 of Around the League Extra's 2012 MLS Team previews continues starting off with a very
special guest. Who is it? Listen and find out! Also, Jon Hoffman from dcunitedoutsider.com drops in
to tell us why we should all be excited for the team in 2012. Also, Nathan Rupert gives his
thoughts on Real Salt Lake, and Craig de Argon returns not as the champ but expects nothing less
than an MLS Cup.
With Daryl gone to sort out his beloved Wolves, Albert, Josh and Peyton took to the studio to
discuss the return of the Champions League, Landon Donovan's departure from Everton, Rangers
financial woes, Zambia being crowned champions of Africa and new the USNMT jersey.
A monumental week for the England football team: Fabio Capello resigns. What happened? Who will
be the next England manager, and what is the future for English football?
On the latest Total Soccer Show (our first for SportsRadio910) we review Manchester United
versus Liverpool, including some slo-mo analysis of the Luis Suarez-Patric Evra non-handshake. We
also look at the latest England manager news and try to find a parallel situation here in the
United States (Olympic basketball?
Ted and Chris return with more MLS team previews as they open up with new correspondent
Christopher Boulay,as they discuss the newest expansion team, the Montreal Impact. Also A.J. Jobe
from the Crewsaders takes a look a much different looking Crew. And finally Jordan Wise from SB
Nation drops in talk all about the Dynamo as they look to open their new stadium in May.
We go back to the days of perms and short shorts to pick our team of the 1980s. That's the best
possible XI from the decade fashion forgot, but creative midfielders did not. We also discuss Fabio
Capello's shock resignation as England manager. Was Capello right to quit? Did the FA push him too
far?
After Grayson – A new dawning for our club? A solid 3-0 win for caretaker manager Redfearn at
Bristol sees him given at least the next three games in charge, before the board makes a managerial
decision. But with the club CEO on holiday and the chairman staying in Monaco as he has a cold (!),
no new managerial position was likely to be even looked at, let alone considered this week.

On this week's Gadsby's England roundup, a new show has to take over the airwaves: The England
and FA February Farce. John Terry is sacked again, Don Fabio puts the knife in and publicly
criticizes his employers the FA – worse, in Italian; Rio says no, and poor Stevie G. doesn't know
what to make of it all.
Daryl and Taylor discuss John Terry and the England captaincy, plus Taylor interviews veteran
journalist James Dorsey, who goes in-depth about about the tragic events in Egypt.
Chris and Ted begin a month of 2012 MLS team previews on Around the League Extra as they break
down the Revolution with Steven Stoehr from the Bent Musket. They also preview the Union with Murph
from the YSA Report, as they begin life after Sebastian Le Toux. They also talk Earthquakes with
new correspondent Lisa Erickson from Center Line Soccer, and finally the great ELAC returns to
preview Chivas USA!
Grayson gone! This weeks show looks at the implications of this sadly expected sacking and in
true Twiggster style, looks forward to the future with hope and looks back on Grayson's tenure at
our club.
The sacking overshadows an horrendous 4-1 home defeat to Birmingham in midweek and a truly
abysmal January transfer window.
Referee Scott Zawadzki clears up some common misconceptions about the laws of the beautiful
game. And no, he doesn't care if you "got the ball first." We also interview the filmmakers behind
"Laduma: One Goal" and ask: what now for WPS?
