England are in a major final and we were totally wrong about Kyle Walker. If we're being honest we're still on the comedown from Wednesday night's semi-final but we do our best to review England's tournament so far and preview our chances for the final against Italy. Is it coming home?

This week is a Got Got Need podcast takeover as Liam and Powles are joined by Liam's other podcast partner, Chris Robinson (@gingerboyo) for a round-up of the Euro 2020 group stages. Are Italy now considered the tournament favourites? Were England boring or professional? Did Turkey disappoint most of all the 24 nations involved? We get into the nitty-gritty of tournament football in the short 48-hour window between the groups and knockouts.

This week we caught up with the OG metal music pundit, Beez. Fan of all things metal, alt, punk, grunge and hardcore, as well as being a huge Gooner, Beez sits perfectly inside the Venn diagram of this podcast's demographic. We talk about the European Super League fallout, his thoughts on Mikel Arteta, the idea of alternative music breaking Tik-Tok and the future of heavy music & football punditry. We really do cover everything! We’re asking each of our guests to curate a matchday playlist filled to the brim with tracks of their choosing.

A couple of weeks off and no intro this episode as Powles and Ben were away for the week, but before they left we did manage to sit down with Ross Rickers of Chamber, Teejerker and the designer of the Heavy Metal Football logo! A huge Wolves fan, Ross talked us through the world of vintage tees, the link between UKHC and football ultras and his love for Pedro Neto. We’re asking each of our guests to curate a matchday playlist filled to the brim with tracks of their choosing.

12. Chris Blockd - Touring Photographer & Videographer
4/22/2021
1:55:57
A slight departure from the norm this week in that we brought on touring photographer and videographer Chris Blockd to teach us about the world of trading cards and NFTs. Having worked with bands and artists like The Dangerous Summer, Don Broco, Marshmello, Neck Deep & more, Chris has also found himself immersed in the world of making money through trading World Cup commemorative cards (or Panini stickers to us here in the UK) and NBA Top Shot. A huge Chelsea fan, we also get Chris to talk about Frank Lampard's tenure in charge and the success of this summer's signings. We’re asking each of our guests to curate a matchday playlist filled to the brim with tracks of their choosing.
