Big thanks to Ste Jones for providing the quiz this week which is on Promotion to and Relegation from the Premier League.
20 questions and a total of 20 correct answers to be had, but beware some of the questions have more than one answer.
Suj is quizmaster and James is on the answers.... spoiler you'll do well to beat him!
Best of luck, let us know your score in the comments or on the #trivia Slack channel, but remember no spoilers please.
Early release for all Patrons of tomorrow's Clash of the Correspondents
It's been a week since either of us had any on field matters to winge about so to avoid the possibility of this becoming 'another podcast about the Newcastle takeover' we cut this one a little shorter than normal.
On the Pod, thoughts on the respective weekend trips to Everton and Newcastle (yep them again) on Sunday, details on the dodgy group interested in buying West Ham, why something might be brewing behind the scenes at Tottenham, why the club turned down a meeting with the S...
Following on from our Podcast on the Newcastle takeover earlier today we take a look back on the 14 year reign of Mike Ashley that included two relegations, multiple managerial failings, attempts to sell the club as long ago as 2008, self publicising of Sports Direct and a group of people remembered as The Cockney Mafia...
We had a good day. Don't take anyone too seriously. I think we were all quite jolly.
On this week's Q&A topics include
- Raphinha's long-term future
- The Nations League Final
- Thibaut Courtois' UEFA winge
- Harry Kane career influences
- Worst ever signings
- The Hub hack
- What the Premier League looks like in 10 years
- & of course the usual nonsense

Angus McPhail from the brilliant EFL Fantasy Podcast joins James to discuss what's happening in The Championship and The Scottish Premier League and discuss ideas and tips for both Fantasy formats.
Angus is definitely the one in the know here, so why is James ahead in both formats...?
First 20 minutes is on Fantasy Scotland discussion and then the conversation moves on to Gaffr
20 questions, 20 correct answers to be had as usual and the theme is 'name the country'.
James gives details of some players called up for international duty but instead of naming the player there's only detail of the club that they play for. From there you have to name the country.
As ever let us know in the comments or on the #trivia Slack channel, but remember no spoilers please! Best of luck!
And Suj offends Geordies with his attempted accent and we also find out the ...
Well, well, well, what a difference a week makes with Tottenham winning and West Ham beaten.
But why is Suj angry, perhaps it's not with the club but rather his fellow West Ham fans that have annoyed him? We discuss the defeat to Brentford, dealing with different expectations and Declan Rice's potential legacy.
While two wins at The Lane have James feeling better and Nuno got his tactics right on Sunday but it was the spirit shown within the team that impressed most during t...
Hi all,
In case you have missed the news over on Slack we are organising a meet up on Saturday for Patrons at The Earl of Camden pub in Camden and would love you to join us if you can.

We have an area booked for up to 30 people from 2-8pm and will not be promoting this on social media to try and keep the numbers sensible. You are of course welcome to bring friends &a...

We discuss Heart of Midlothian, now officially the UK's biggest fan owned football club with 8000 members all contributing to the future of their football club.
But how did Hearts get here? How bad did it get for the Edinburgh club that meant the intervention of fans became a necessity? And now they have the club what do the fans want next?
And what can other clubs learn from this takeover that may help safeguard their futures?
On this week's Q&A, a riot of madness. Topics include...
* Saturday's meet up
* How big is too Big at the Back
* Leicester's tactical dilemma
* PL players we'd live to have on the show

Who are you backing this week?
Antonio, Fernandes, Kane, Lukaku, Raphinha, Ronaldo, Salah, Son, Vardy or soemone else?
Dilemmas everywhere with the GW7 deadline now under 24 hours away. And for James a sudden surge in defensive problems has even led to a consideration to pull out the wildcard, but it's complicated and much may hinge on the fitness of Luke Shaw. The perfect defence, this week's captaincy and the team we haven't considered but should now all get coverage.

Suj details why he was concerned early on during Saturday's win at Leeds... but you didn't come for West Ham talk did you...!?
James breaks down what he describes as one of the most inept tactical structures he's ever seen in Sunday's North London Derby and why it's already a case of when rather than if Nuno loses his job as Tottenham boss.
There's a scathing assessment of the squad including the player who is 'finished', why the team is in desperate need of fresh faces, why...
