The 200% Podcast has been two middle-aged men shouting at clouds, documentary series about the history of football in England and Wales, and is now about terrible old TV shows from the past.. Every Thursday, we'll deliver you an episode of our current series,This Is Our Everest. For more episodes than are available on here, feel free to pay us a visit (http://twohundredpercent.net/podcast).
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.
The Twohundredpercent Podcast emerges from its hidey hole this week with a lime and a coconut, just in time to discuss the fizzing excitement of the 4th round of the FA Cup. Unhappiness is the order of the day at Manchester United, where only drastic measures now seem likely to be able to save their season. Your regular correspondents are on hand to pontificate on just how radical these need to be.
There's also a distinct side of aggro as Edward and Ian look back at the 200% Derby between Spurs and Brighton, from which only one of your heroes could emerge with a light heart.
In what is a surprisingly concise edition by our rambling standards, we nevertheless also disavow anyone who is still holding onto the notion that Boreham Wood being FA Cup heroes is a Good Thing, come down hard on football's growing problem with tribalism and partisanship, and helpfully decide once and for all the identity of the biggest fish in the East Midlands football pond.

Podcast 324: On a Rafa Tip
On this week's Twohundredpercent Podcast, Edward and Ian are joined for a second time by Evertonian Sam Whyte (in addition to our now regular guest host, the fire alarm in Ian's house) to pick through the rubble of another week of top line soccer, including the departure of the Everton boss.
Rafa Benitez wasn't backed to the hilt with transfer funds at Everton but he made his presence felt in a variety of other no doubt long-lasting ways. Sam ably helps us sift through each of these, as well as revealing where Anthony Gordon gets his hair cut. Ian, meanwhile, is finally a convert to Team Rooney as your heroes try to identify some kind of strategy for Everton going forwards (which is perhaps more than their ownership have ever done).
Also up for discussion this week is Arsenal's successful appeal to have their match with Spurs postponed due to their apparent lack of players. With Covid now reaching endemic levels in the super, soaraway, smashing UK, is professional football now at risk of teams gaming the system for their own advantage? As with everything Arsenal-themed on the Twohundredpercent Podcast, your correspondents give them a fair and considered hearing.
Are football players now wrapped in cotton wool? And what is the solution to getting games played in real cases of mass absenteeism? Predictably, Edward has a solution. Make of that what you will. All this plus: footballers getting fat and the extraordinarily evergreen Barry Hayles.
You can find Sam Whyte on Twitter (@samwhyte) and we recommend that you do. We are also there (@twoht/@200percentpod) or you can email us with thoughts and feelings: twohundredpercentpodcast at gmail dot com.

Podcast 323: FA Cupcast
2022's first Twohundredpercent Podcast sees your heroes reflecting on a bumper week of FA Cup 3rd round upsets. Ian is somewhat concerned both for Nuno Tavares' long term career at Arsenal and also by the continual merry-go-round of blind hope and incompetence that has characterised Newcastle United's disappointing season.
Meanwhile, Edward busily picks out the best goal of the round, from lowly Kidderminster Harriers' shock win against Championship Reading. But where is Reading? We look into it and pull out an unlikely conclusion.
If all this excitement isn't enough, we are joined by the Twohundredpercent Robot to make the official draw for the 5th Round of the competition, a process that was far less straightforward than either we thought it would be and far less easy than The Sound of Football Podcast makes it appear. Nevertheless, the ties are all locked in, so prove Ian wrong and book your tickets early.
If you'd like to get in touch with us, you can find us on Twitter (@twoht/@200percentpod) or you could even email us: twohundredpercentpodcast at gmail dot com.
