Podcast no.5 is out now, with guests Craig Bloomfield (Loaded) and Andrew Dickens (action online editor at Shortlist), alongside the regular cast. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Can you update the link at the top of this page Miles, I've not been checking for the new ones assuming it would be.

**Miles Jacobson** · 09-11-2007 09:55

Parmie - have just updated it for no.6...

**Miles Jacobson** · 09-11-2007 09:56

01everton - the long term plan is to move onto a different country (or club in a country) each week with an expert from that country (most likely one of our researchers!). But we haven't worked out how to get a telephone to go through the mixing desk yet, so once we have, we'll start doing that.

**aaberdeenn** · 09-11-2007 11:15

Good job again.

**stokecity** · 09-11-2007 16:26

Did you mention who the winner was for the last podcast Miles?

**Miles Jacobson** · 09-11-2007 19:04

Stokecity - possibly not. The winner of the comp was Jimmy Ladlow, as chosen by producer Nick. Will make sure I say it on the next one...

**Parmie** · 11-11-2007 06:31

An enjoyable listen, Richard Innes is the best guest so far as he contributed more, plus I could hear what he was saying.

Have all the guests been from London so far?

**Miles Jacobson** · 13-11-2007 12:26

Parmie - I think that only one of the guests so far has actually been from London. Most of the guests live or work there, as it's somewhat easier to get people to travel from a short distance, but are certainly not from there.

**sinner_of_lust** · 15-11-2007 09:32

my god i thought you had not done any since the second one cam out, why did you not say anything on the main site and where can i get 3,4,5 and 6 want to listen to all

Difficult to tell one SE England accent from another

**Drunk Beware** · 15-11-2007 17:08

Is there any other way of downloading this other than on itunes?

**sean_oc16** · 16-11-2007 08:31

There was because I did it one week (no.4 i think) from footballmanager.net but I can't remember how and haven't been able to since.
No sign of this week's yet on itunes either.

**Miles Jacobson** · 16-11-2007 09:34

Drunk Beware - nope.

sean_oc16 - it'll be up soon, I hope. Just awaiting the file upload...

**sean_oc16** · 16-11-2007 10:11

It's up now

**Drunk Beware** · 16-11-2007 11:08

Ok thanks for letting me know.

**amack1n** · 16-11-2007 14:11

Where do I get number 7? It doesn't seem to be on Itunes yet and the RSS feed links just take me back to footballmanager.net

**Miles Jacobson** · 16-11-2007 14:19

amack1n - it's definitely up on Itunes. If it doesn't automatically download, just go to the "games and hobbies" section, and click on it there, then download.

**amack1n** · 16-11-2007 14:23

Yep, got it now

Thanks

**Parmie** · 17-11-2007 18:07

Could only hear Miles well, the guests were barely audible apart from the odd occasion of a can being opened.

Still enjoyable though but I'd suggest even a basic sound check is needed, no point having guests if we can't hear them.

**JohnB** · 21-11-2007 13:38

Nice work on the podcasts, but you need to work on the audio.

**timers** · 21-11-2007 20:04

How do I listen to these Podcasts? Please help. Not sure where to find them. Thanks.

**mattyspurs76** · 22-11-2007 07:04

Nice job Miles,

Listening to the podcast since day 1 when you only had the one mic lol

Getting better.... except no 7's doing my head in.
I can hear you in my right earplug and everybody else in my left earplug. Not exactly stereo sound is it, but cant complain much, at least your not all huddled around the one microphone anymore lol

By the way, you give away a copy of FM08 as a competition prize, as it occured to you that most people who listen have already got the game, hence why they tune it to listen to you guys?

Also, what were the silent crisps you were eating as ive been moaned at today at work for crunching my crisps to load.

**mattyspurs76** · 22-11-2007 07:05

By the wat guys, each episodes released every thursday/friday.

**tatman303** · 22-11-2007 08:20

Is there an non iTunes version of these podcasts, as I hate iTunes with a passion.

**Profesor** · 23-11-2007 05:08

Oh, I cannot wait to listen to this week's podcast, you won't be talking about Ebbsfleet this time, I bet

. Go SI go!

**amplifierworship** · 26-11-2007 06:48

I don't remember his name, but the guy who came in late wasn't very nice at all, and I could sense Miles didn't exactly like him being there.

**amack1n** · 26-11-2007 13:08

You mean Steve Hill (I think), the one who called Miles a "self appointed mouthpiece"

I don't even know how thats insulting tbh

**sinner_of_lust** · 30-11-2007 15:15

**sean_oc16** · 30-11-2007 16:57

Mika Aaritalo. Been toned down after the patch I think though.

**sinner_of_lust** · 01-12-2007 10:18

lol thanks, my spelling is so bad can never find anyone he says

**amplifierworship** · 02-12-2007 11:02

I really need that Football Manager cocktail recipe now.

**Jaz Guram** · 02-12-2007 18:57

Just listened to the podcast for the first time walking to work this morning, and really enjoyed it! The randomness and the broad variety of topics discussed was pretty entertaining it has to be said.

The constant sound of crisps being munched, and the resulting sounds of bits of crisp being sucked from betwixt the teeth was annoying though!

**amplifierworship** · 04-12-2007 15:28

The Football Manager podcast had made it onto the Featured page this week.

**sean_oc16** · 07-12-2007 10:11

Podcast 10 is on itunes now everyone, and listed on page 3 of the new releases podcasts.

**AndyCooll** · 08-12-2007 13:45

I wouldn't go as far as saying I hate iTunes, however however iTunes software doesn't work on my OS (Linux) so I'd like an answer to this question please. Is there any other way to obtain the podcasts other than via iTunes?

**JordanC** · 09-12-2007 22:48

For those that hate using iTunes (myself included), there's a general RSS feed you can use:

http://downloads.sigames.com/download/podcast.xml

That's how I get the new podcast updates and download it from there.

**binobasher** · 10-12-2007 11:17

i've only just subscribed to the podcast from episode 10, via itunes. is there any way of downloading past podcasts?

the link in the above reply did not help, sorry

Search for Football Manager in the iTunes store, and click on the icon. On that page, there should be a list of them to download at the bottom.

**Jaz Guram** · 13-12-2007 20:21

PLease stop eating crisps with (what sounds like) your gob right next to the mic!!!!!

How about flumps or something instead???

Apart from the grating annoyingness of the crisps, it's a cracking podcast and my third fave behind the Guardian's Football (twice) Weekly and The Times' Game Podcast.

**Jaz Guram** · 14-12-2007 01:54

Just listened to the Xmas special...no crisps, yay!

Excellent stuff, gonna sign the Bangura petitions now. What a disgusting situation that is.

More Ray Houghton from January, if possible please!

**duckman4442006** · 14-12-2007 03:27

another nice on e
sweet

**Miles Jacobson** · 14-12-2007 05:44

Jaz - I agree. Ray was excellent on there, as were all the guests this week. Was quite an experience for me hosting a show with 2 proper radio pro's!

**Jaz Guram** · 14-12-2007 21:59

binobasher - just click on the arrow beside the podcast in itunes, and the previous episodes should drop down. Hit 'GET' beside the ones you want to d/l, and, Shazam!, Robert's your father's brother.

**Jaz Guram** · 14-12-2007 22:00

Miles - you held your own for sure. Loved Ray's Jack Charlton quote about missing sitters against England. Quality.

**amplifierworship** · 15-12-2007 12:25

Ray Houghton is a legend. It sounded like he was going to put a hole through the table the amount of times he was hitting it.

**John Van Lampard** · 17-12-2007 11:16

Hi Miles love the podcast! And i won the xmas special about the scoody doo question what address do i e mail you on with my address?

**Guanyuzhizi** · 21-12-2007 17:45

How about a 8.0.2 X-Mas special? =)

**Guanyuzhizi** · 21-12-2007 17:45

with the Spanish fix.

**AndyCooll** · 22-12-2007 12:34

Excellent! Thanks very much for this info.

**Abaddon879** · 02-01-2008 02:17

Congratulations Miles, you managed to count up to 10 until you lost count!

Xmas special was actually #11, not #10 as you incorrectly stated, but well done for trying.

Just done an all nighter session on FM while also listening to all the podcasts from start to finish. Fantastic. Definately can hear the quality and organisation improving. Sadly you seem to be getting less and less drunk as the podcasts go on

. Drink more, it makes them ever more entertaining! What happened to the hints and tips you started giving out in the first few, you just kind of stopped? Is this due to overrunning?

Quite amusing listening to all these podcasts a few weeks after the events, such as when you said there was no chance Gary Megson would join Bolton as he had only just joined Leicester... How wrong could you have been!

Awesome podcasts however, and keep up the good work. Can't wait for the next one!

**Miles Jacobson** · 06-01-2008 14:38

John Van Lampard - the same one you sent the competition entry to should work.

Abaddon879 - I knew keeping count wasn't a good idea

Sure, I got it wrong about Megson. But lots of stuff right too - such as Spurs coming back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 during one

As for drinking more, the Xmas one was the only one where I didn't drink just as much. Maybe I'm getting better at hiding it.

The "players to buy for teams" stuff will come back - seriously over ran the last 3. Any suggestions can be made to either the email address given out, or on the Facebook page.

Guanyuzhizi - Xmas is the time for Father Xmas and Reindeers, not the time for trolls.

**Parmie** · 11-01-2008 11:47

Getting an error message 404 from Itunes when trying to download the latest podcast.

**Miles Jacobson** · 11-01-2008 11:57

Parmie - it's downloading through Itunes OK for me.

**GillsMan** · 14-01-2008 02:37

Hi, great podcast, really enjoyed it. The sound quality has improved since the first one (which I downloaded just for info). Congratulations on making the top ten over Christmas, good work.

**Superman_uk123** · 14-01-2008 08:21

Miles, yet another great podcast!!

I hope that Greek dude got what was coming to him!

When is the next one scheduled for?? I only ask as the anticipation is now killing me, for want of more!!

**A True Fan** · 18-01-2008 11:23

I won the competiton, but who do I send my address to?

This link worked for me for podcasts 11 and 12 but when I try and download number 13 whatever I click takes me to iTunes which I don't really want to download.

**sean_oc16** · 18-01-2008 15:31

That link's working for me, which is lucky as itunes has gone balls up atm.

**rooneymagic88** · 19-01-2008 04:06

The link takes me to the FM home page, when I click on listen to the podcasts now link it takes me to the iTunes store.

By the way, yes I am a smartarse, and yes, it did pay off.

**sean_oc16** · 25-01-2008 15:31

New podcast is on itunes now, not got round to listening to it today but probably will do tomorrow.

**rooneymagic88** · 26-01-2008 03:52

Could anyone post the link again please? Ta.

**sean_oc16** · 26-01-2008 06:03

**rooneymagic88** · 26-01-2008 07:10

Cheers sean_oc16, you are a gent.

**Miles Jacobson** · 01-02-2008 08:56

Guys - PLEASE download it from Itunes, and not direct links. It makes a big difference to the chart position, and if it drops out the charts, it'll end up being stopped. Whilst I'd quite like my Thursday evenings back, there seem to be a lot of people enjoying it, hence we've continued it beyond what was going to be the initial run.

**rooneymagic88** · 02-02-2008 04:40

The problem is not everyone wants iTunes software on their PC.

**legend 69** · 02-02-2008 12:54

I had my name read out on the 14 episode!

My name is Danny Mann, im the one who thought brazilians eat reindheer for xmas.

Just wanted to notify everyone because im really happy lol.

**Joor** · 05-02-2008 04:17

I cant see the podcasts on Facebook ..where is it ?

**Miles Jacobson** · 09-02-2008 08:56

rooneymagic88 - as I've said above, if people don't download through Itunes and our chart position drops, we'll stop doing it. I can't, personally, think of any valid reason to not have Itunes installed.

Joor - there's a group for the Football Manager podcast on there. The actual podcast is available through Itunes.

**Grohyt** · 11-02-2008 04:49

I also despise I tunes (not a big fan of it at all), however i dont want the podcasts to stop so i'll help you out

.

Miles, that's fine it's obviously your choice, I didn't realise why you were insisting on downloading through Itunes. Given the choice of having Itunes on my PC or not listening to the podcast then I will choose the latter so everyone loses out.

**Hawshiels** · 13-02-2008 07:19

That's the first time I listened to the podcast - mainly because I didn't realise by the forum thread title that you didn't need an iPod to listen to it.

Anyway, I really enjoyed it (all 2 hours of it nearly).

Great ideas in there for the future episodes and I'm looking forward to listening to them.

p.s. As for adding yourself into the game (as you spoke about in the podcast), I haven't done that but I did add my wife as a Physio so she could get her hands on the footballer's bodies. Everyone's happy then.

Keep up the good work.

**sean_oc16** · 15-02-2008 08:01

I understand there isn't a podcast this week, but will they continue again from next week?

**Miles Jacobson** · 15-02-2008 11:08

sean_oc16 - Yup.

**A True Fan** · 16-02-2008 11:16

Miles, have you sent out the prizes yet? Because I'm still waiting for mine.

**amplifierworship** · 16-02-2008 16:07

Miles, as there was no podcast this week does that mean there will be no more producer Andy?

**mattyspurs76** · 22-02-2008 06:48

Got a few questions regarding the game that i wouldnt mind hearing a discussion about, where can i email the info to?

Not facebook as im at work and i dont wanna be caught messing on there lol

**mattyspurs76** · 22-02-2008 07:06

ok, im gonna have to put my request on here, as i wont have time over the weekend and ill probably forget to do it. love some feedback on it.

1. Like to know more about what influence the weather/state of pitch & its size as to do in the game.

I look on the tactics forum quite often.. people say 'oh try this great tactic,no need to change it in the season, use it in all your games,just tweak this n that blah.. blah... blah.." if thats the case, why bother with the weather reports etc. Surely this has some outcome to the matches played.. i mean in real life not many teams play a short passing game on a muddy pitch, so does it effect the game?

Same with pitch size's, im confused with that aswell, im sure its easy to explain.

Ive looked on the forums for topics like these but i havnt found any, guess i could start one lol

2. Coaches and how best to use them.

Do you bother with youth coaches? how many?

Same with 1st team coaches etc...

What would u recommend having, not who!
I play with spurs most of the time and i can only have a max. of 8 coaches, so whats the best balance to have?

ie: 1 1st team/GK/Fitness/2 coaches n 3 youth coaches etc?

If thats the case, how can you then get 7star coaching in every stats?

Thats all i want to know about, any feedback would be appreciated.
Ive listened to the podcasts since day 1, they are great (withdrawel symptoms at moment as i havnt heard any for 2weekd now lol)

+ to be honest there isnt much FM08 conversations going on, Heard Miles say that if we want them to talk abut FM08 more then give them some topics, so there's 2 for you Miles, if you think there ok.

Cheers

matt

**sean_oc16** · 22-02-2008 13:57

New podcast is on itunes now people.

**bRAzIL** · 25-02-2008 04:07

Just listening to the podcast. Don't really see the point in it, is it supposed to be about football manager or football in general?

Just sounds like a load of opinionated southerners to me.

Although I have only listened to one so far, hope you discuss the reason FM08 is so bugged etc.

**bRAzIL** · 25-02-2008 04:55

ok, that sounds a bit harsh. Wrong side of bed and all that.

I have a question - what's the most excited you have ever got playing football manager?

**Hawshiels** · 25-02-2008 05:40

If you just listened to that one podcast, I can understand why you were disappointed. It wasn't that great I didn't think, but I did listen to the one from the 7th Feb I think and it was enjoyable.

And I agree that they should incorporate the game much more in their discussions.

**mattyspurs76** · 25-02-2008 07:39

mine would be my gf tryin to get me away from playing FM on friday night, i wont go into details but i got very excited and she won! lol

**adamd07** · 27-02-2008 17:57

The podcast is ok when they start talking about football, the only thing that annoys me is when they eat, I dont get why they cant do it before or after

**Hawshiels** · 04-03-2008 03:45

BRILLIANT!

This last podcast (28th February) is easily the best yet. Well done guys. !!!!

Please keep more of this coming.

The style was great, the content and questions asked by Miles all added up to a thoroughly enjoyable experience - although it could have been a bit longer (please).

**The Zog** · 28-03-2008 04:33

Miles, any plans to do a bit on the FM community sites? Like a litttle bit on whats going on at all the major community sites such as Sortitoutsi, FMGLive, FMBritain etc. would be nice to include that and some general news such as FMGLives closure then reopening.

Just an idea, loving the podcast and I liked the bit you did for Gamespot UK by the way

**Miles Jacobson** · 30-03-2008 16:19

The Zog - well, there's no podcasts for a while, so not in the near future. The community round up tends to happen on footballmanager.net, which is probably the best place for it as it's all online.

**bluebirds4life** · 04-04-2008 09:36

Thanx Miles great podcast mention me next podcast please i have a question to the guests:

Do any of the guests play any LLM games in football manager, if so how succesful are you?

listened to every one! KUTGW

**GeordieInExile** · 09-04-2008 18:41

Love it.

I do my work on a 30 inch Mac cinema screen and listen to the FM podcast to go along with a cup of coffee. Living in the U.S, it's about the only FM chat I get to listen to.

May I suggest Skype for any calls to researchers or other interviews. There may be a very slight delay, but it does a very good job. Email with any questions.
