showed his deep managerial insight by identifying Qiu Shenjiong as Shenhua’s best player in the friendly a few weeks back.

It’s not actually that surprising. The man has a horrendous track record with spotting goalkeepers, Schmeichel aside.
Interesting take on the Pub Talk concept & an enjoyable way to while away a quiet afternoon at work — plans for future podcasts, guys?

Nice to hear the voices behind the names – bcheng wasn’t quite as Yankee as I’d imagined, Ultra slightly more Scottish.
Background noise was a bit of a distraction and I find that podcasts need a few speakers to be lively and more varied.
I listen every now and then to two podcasts:
http://www.thefightingcock.co.uk/podcast/ (Spurs)
http://yellowfever.podomatic.com/ (Wellington Phoenix and NZ Footy)
Both are very informal (Spurs one has liberal use of rude words which is fun) and quite willing to put the boot into all and sundry.

great feedback Yiddo thanks. I actually have a pro-standard recorder, but unfortunately I forgot to take it to Beijing with me, so the background noise would have been even more of distraction. The Podcast won’t be a regular thing since we aren’t in the same city, but I’m sure we will do it again, hopefully it will be an improvement. Cheers!

You’re welcome Ultra. I didn’t comment on the content as it is, as always, great to read/hear anything from (lao wai) fans who are passionate about the game and their clubs (and also clearly know a thing or two about the bootiful game in the middle kingdom). Same goes for all the other contributors.

One of the problems with the foreign refs is that they aren’t using FIFA refs. If they bring in referees from other countries, they need to make sure they aren’t national refs from those countries.

Great comment about injuries and needing to stay off.

Great podcast, guys!
Bcheng: I would not be surprised if Switzerland gives China a harder time than Brazil. But, we will see. Would be nice to see Wang Dalei.
Yiddo, I listened to the Spurs one as well, for somebody that lived in London for a while, it is quite nice to hear the good old accent again.

Sorry Sweden, and I was wrong. What is the point of these matches if the team is nowhere near any form. 8:0, what a clear result…

Was just able to enjoy my first Pub Talk, learned a tremendous amount and really enjoyed it. I’m sharing this with my fellow fans via twitter and FB, this is a great resource for those of us interested in learning more about the CSL but are confined to English. Please keep these up, and if they ever could be available via iPad they’d be even more accessible to listen to! Thanks for these.
