Iain, Mem and Charlie return to look back on Barnet’s first month back in the EFL. 7 points from 6 games tells the story of a mixed August, with new signings settling in and familiar faces finding their rhythm.

Plus, we ask what August tells us about the season ahead.Thanks for listening and COUYB! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ahead of Barnet's return to the EFL in 25-26, Charlie, Mem and Iain sit down with Dean Brennan and Connor Smith (with a brief appearance from Jerome Okimo) to talk through last season's title, summer recruitment and plans for League 2. In a typically honest and open interview, Dean and Connor explain how they approached key games last season, their thinking around recruitment over the summer, and how they feel League 2 will compare to the National League. Thank you so much to Dean, Connor and Jerome for their time. We hope you enjoy the epsiode and are looking forward to the new season as much as we are!Take care and see you soon, Mem, Charlie & Iain Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In a Football Cliches style quiz, the Media Men (Sam E & Rory E) go up against the Cassen brothers (Jack & Charlie) to test a wide range of weird and wonderful Barnet knowledge.

Taking a moment to step away from the title race, Charlie, Mem and Iain compete in a 'Come Dine With Me' style event to create the worst away. Ground? Oppostion? Players? Managers? Going back through the painful memories of heavy defeats and dodgy terraces, who can create the worst away of all time. A brief note, you may have noticed from the logo / intro that we've joined the TalkSport fan network. We were invited to join a few weeks ago and couldn't see any downside. Nothing about the show changes (still infrequent and still informal!) but anything that can give the show a louder megaphone as the BBB campaign keeps pushing on deserves a mention. As ever, thank you so much for listening and we hope you enjoy the show! 4 games to go, everything crossed we can get over the line!Iain, Mem & Charlie Hosted on Acast.
