110 Percent Podcast

Tamara and Olivia meet for one last 2022 iteration of one of the top 30 podcasts of our time to hand out the treasured 110 Percent Awards. Tune in to find out who took home the priceless miniature Zidanes for Best Villain, Perfect Angel, Best Var-gument and more in our belated tournament recap.  ~ Theme: Ice Cream / Leo Rossi ~ @110percentpodcast

In today's Very Special Episode, Tamara talks to business partner and former housemate Lallie about, in time-honoured 110 Percent tradition, all things WAG., running the gamut from Southgatian WAGs, legacy numbers, Germany's scapegoating, Moroccan Pop Idol stars, Rooney vs Vardy, and the biggest White Lotus spoiler of them all.  ~ Theme: Ice Cream / Leo Rossi Three Lions (Olivia's Version) ~ @110percentpodcast

The ladies reunite to discuss the battle for Al-Andalus, the nebulous concept of respect, who or what Olivia hates (and Tamara won't be drawn on), how many Latin American countries is too many, and our favourite manager, Raymond Domenech.  ~ Theme: Ice Cream / Leo Rossi Three Lions (Olivia's Version) ~ @110percentpodcast

The ladies muse expansively on World Cup infighting, both historic and present-day, also finding time to cover whether it's too early to consider things coming home, how many political statements a pitch invader can make (at most) and more hyping of Serbia vs. Switzerland: the Sequel.  Article referenced: The Fans Screamed for Qatar. Their Passion Hid a Secret. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/28/sports/soccer/world-cup-fans-qatar-ultras.html ~ Theme: Ice Cream / Leo Rossi ~ @110percentpodcast

The ladies regroup after a rocky start to the tournament to get into the weeds discussing seismic upsets, Al-Hilal, golden toilets, and the first game of the competition: Does this headline reference Argentina's 2-1 defeat or a national tragedy?  *A correction: Saudi pirate streaming site is referred to as beOUT; it's actually beoutQ. Let's say the Q is silent.  ~ Theme: Ice Cream / Leo Rossi ~ @110percentpodcast

The ladies return to inform the uninformed on the eve of the Sportswashing Cup— Qatar World Cup 2022. We talk sock length, autocrats, calves, past and present Jack Grealish Cup winners, the value-add of Shakira, and the moral rectitude of FIFA.  ~ Theme: Ice Cream / Leo Rossi ~ @110percentpodcast

Could it? Might it? Ahead of the 2020ish EU-ROS final, we discuss the quarter and semi-finals, what's ahead this evening, and take piping-hot pre-match commentary from Nancy Dell'Olio.  Academy Awards 2022 for Best Short Film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2v3BtyyUgo ~ Music: Southgate You're the One (Whole Again) / Atomic Kitten

As usual, it's assumed to be coming home. We recap the Round of 16 ahead of the upcoming Quarter Finals, and discuss French unity or lack thereof, and the trouble with unwanted opinions.  ~ Music: The Great Escape / The England Band 

We're back! For 'Season 3' and tepid EURO 2020-ish content, starting with the group stages. We talk Hungarian rainbows, nominative determinism and who last smacked Harry Kane in the mouth. 

Just in time for the end of the re-start, we're hosting the Radio 110 2019-2020 Award of the Season!  ~ Music: What's Your Pleasure / Jessie Ware

We're on lockdown and taking listener questions! Determined to provide content in a football-free universe, we discuss the Belarussian Premier League, corona misbehaviours, and the definition of a sex 'party'.  ~ Music: Break My Heart / Dua Lipa 

We potentially bite off more than we can chew unpicking Manchester City's numerous breaches of UEFA's FFP regulations, but financial corruption will surely join other topics in our wheelhouse that we also discuss in the episode: VAR, Bottega Veneta clutch bags and the merits and demerits of Olivier Giroud.  'How Football Leaks is Exposing Corruption in European Soccer' / Sam Knight https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/06/03/how-football-leaks-is-exposing-corruption-in-european-soccer

Back in our regularly-scheduled, rarely-observed slot, we're keeping relevant discussing this evening's FA Cup match when Shrewsbury play Liverpool's Infants, what that means for the FA Cup and Jürgen Klopp, why footballers love Nusr-et, and Neymar's birthday party. Because of course we do.  ~ Instagram: @110percentpodcast

After an extended hiatus, we deign to return for 2020 with a brief, delightful episode on an impending World War’s effect on football, and the toppling of Zlatan’s Colossus.

Another game, then we're off! After this week's stay of execution, we still speed through what Brexit means for the Premier League, before talking about about Granit Xhaka, his substitution against Crystal Palace last weekend, and what it means to be a captain in 2019.  ~ Music: Ossie's Dream / Chas and Dave The Anfield Rap (Red Machine in Full Effect) / Liverpool FC Fog on the Tyne / Gazza & Lindisfarne  Freestyle Rap (recorded at 101 Barz) / Ryan Babel ~ Instagram: @110percentpodcast

The girls bookend an incredibly serious conversation about Bulgaria, Haringey Borough versus Yeovil Town, and football’s racist problem with two asinine quizzes, and a moment on form analysis turns into a pronunciation lesson. ~ Music: Theme from Z-Cars Second 2 None / Mura Masa ft. Christine and then Queens ~ Instagram: @110percentpodcast

This Very Special Radio 110 gets to the heart of Coleen versus Rebekah, analysing the two statements, possible motive, and gleefully awaiting the inevitable showdown at Cricket Fashion. Also, Tamara meets Zahia Dehar, the patron saint of 110 Percent: A World Cup Podcast.  ~ Music: Je t'aime ... moi non plus / Jane Birkin et Serge Gainsbourg Footballers Wive$ Theme Song ~ Instagram: @110percentpodcast

We're back, baby! Welcome to the inaugural episode of our shiny new toy RADIO 110, a weekly run-down with the general good intention to talk about football.  To kick off, we pinball between hot takes on Danny Drinkwater, rampant goal differences, and a city where the streets are paved with lead.  ~ Music:  La Dolce Vita / Ryan Paris  ~ Instagram: @110percentpodcast

Episode 9 turns our frowns upside down - after a serious evaluation of England's performance in the tournament, Livi and Tamara talk about the nature of fandom, national and international football chants, and the next great football film (as written by us). Music: Ne Me Quitte Pas / Jacques Brel La Donna È Mobile / Guiseppe Verdi (as sung by Luciano Pavarotti) Blue Day / Suggs Delilah / Tom Jones Can't Smile Without You / Barry Manilow I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles / (as sung by West Ham) September / Earth, Wind, and Fire Theme: Ice Cream / Leo Rosso

Allegedly, it's the scandal episode at 110 Percent, where Livi and Tamara try and revisit all of our favourite stories - although there are too many to count. We manage to squeeze in Bruno and Eliza Samudio, Rhodri and Ryan Giggs, the Zahia Affair, and try and work out what exactly a pierced party chicken could be.
