BONUS MEAT with Matt FordTHE ONE WHERE TALK ABOUT GERMAN FOOTBALL WITH A PROPER GERMAN FOOTBALL EXPERTIn this unnumbered “extra” episode, Kevin and Paul are joined by Matt Ford from highly respected German news agency Deutsche Welle to discuss the controversial return of the Bundesliga and whether or not it could signal similar "restarts" for other leagues across Europe (and of course it did). Matt also does an incredible job of explaining how the highly complex at the best of times German regional fourth tier play off system works, and how the ramifications of Covid-19 have made it even more unfathomable. No music, no theme tunes, no features, just three British people talking with surprising knowledge (in our case, it shouldn’t be a surprise in Matt’s case) about the machinations of another country's football pyramid. Bonus meat indeed.

TIME ADDED ON FOR SAUSAGES PODCAST

Football isn’t all about Guardiola and Klopp, zonal marking and Twitter WAG spats. It’s just as much about crushing disappointments, seasons being all-but over by the end of September and your manager being sacked after your game is postponed half an hour before kick off due to a train derailment.Time Added On For Sausages is a different kind of football podcast (well, we would say that) as we focus on the minutiae that makes this the best sport in the world, unless you’ve just been expelled from the EFL with debts smaller than the amount of change in Alexis Sanchez’s trouser pocket.In each episode we’ll talk to supporters of teams from all over the world whose ambitions are less winning the league by 23 points than finishing the season... We’ve got fans of clubs such as Kickers Offenbach, Ebbsfleet United, Öster IF, Bucharest United, Valletta, Southend United, Excelsior Rotterdam, Orlando City and Clyde, plus we’ll be looking at what makes for the most combustible rivalries, busting a few myths and getting all misty-eyed and unnecessarily nostalgic about the 1970s and 1980s.We’ll be going to non-league games (that was the plan, anyway) and seeing what it is that makes people support a Combined Counties Premier League team but without ever mentioning the words ‘grass roots’, plus we have regular anecdotes from the golden age of football broadcasting, namely Capital Gold Sport from the mid-1990s and we’ve managed to persuade a whole range of bands, signed and unsigned, to record their versions of football songs and we even performed a draw to see who got what song and it wasn’t from a supermarket in Bangkok. Football, eh?
