  • Leon Osman's 'Ossie: My Autobiography'
    Mar 30 2026

    It's time to celebrate everyone's favourite era of modern history - noughties Everton under David Moyes. And who better to guide us through it than Toffees hero and midfield mastermind, Leon Osman? Courtesy of his 2015 book 'Ossie: My Autobiography'.


    Featuring Leon's bromance with Tony Hibbert, a very meek Phil Neville, Thomas Gravesen's inappropriate bearhugs, and a disastrous FA Cup final day which somehow featured Jim Davidson. Plus James Boughen talks us through why David Moyes is actually Paulie Cicero from Goodfellas.

    This week we're reading Arsenal's Invincibles hero, former Germany number 1 and genuine madman, Jens Lehmann's poorly translated book 'The Madness Is On The Pitch'. Featuring Jens on Emmanuel Eboué, his heated rivalry with Oliver Kahn, and the not very tranquil way he's decided to spend his retirement. Plus James's dad's famous new referee friend, why British plugs are the best, and an extra special dramatic reading from Gunnerblog himself - James McNicholas.

  • The Alan Brazil Trilogy Pt. 2: 'Both Barrels From Brazil' (ft. Ben Partridge)
    Mar 2 2026

    With great nervousness, we're venturing into the Alan Brazil multiverse once again. And joining us to do so, we welcome back Three Bean Salad & Beef and Dairy Network's very own Alan Brazil expert, Ben Partridge.


    This time we're reading Alan's second book, 2008's 'Both Barrels From Brazil: My War On The Numpties' - written with his Talksport partner-in-crime Mike 'Porky' Parry. A collection of essays, loosely about football, but mainly about why he thinks the country's down the drain.


    Featuring Alan's rants on the NHS, immigration, wii sports, and why policeman these days have too many cars. Plus Alan's mindblowing invention of double decker roads, and Mike Parry tells a joke that's so offensive the police have to be called.
