@ancientandloyal.com Good morning, I have a question. Is there a season review/highlights compilation video of Wigan’s 1998 season somewhere in the online sphere and if so would you mind awfully pointing me in the correct direction of it please.

Just a pointer towards the latest episode of my podcast Pundits & Panini Stickers. This time round we’re looking at the January 29th 1994 episode of Match Of The Day which features action from the fourth round of that season’s FA Cup!

In case you’re interested in Pundits & Panini Stickers, you can listen to the ‘pilot’ episode here in which myself and my co-host Mike (I found him!) discuss an episode of Match Of The Day from the 1997-98 season. We’re recording episode one next week! Follow the below account for more info!

Daniel Barker @danbarker2802.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

Ahead of the recording next week of the first episode of @punditsandpaninis.bsky.social I’m looking for your stories of meeting a 90s/00s footballer. The more mundane the better. Did you meet Kevin Phillips in Morrisons? Did your dad fit Terry Phelan’s Sky box? punditsandpaninis@gmail.com

Daniel Barker @danbarker2802.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

As per a couple of posts I made the other day I would be very appreciative if you could give @punditsandpaninis.bsky.social a follow. It’s the page for the podcast I’m hoping to get launched relatively soon. Still looking for someone to join me on the pod on a regular basis too!

Fancy chatting about 90s/2000s football while looking back at old episodes of MOTD, Football Italia, The Premiership etc? I’m looking for a co-host for Old School Football Podcast! Don’t need any particular experience, just need to be able to chat about football. Drop me a DM if you fancy it!

Daniel Barker @danbarker2802.bsky.social · 07/06/2025

(Cont.) and chat shit about 90s/00s football and Andy Townsend’s tactics truck etc? Alternatively, if you can help me find Mike (he used to do Relive The League on Twitter and some bits with Cultras podcast as well) and see if he fancies getting back on board that would also be great!

Daniel Barker @danbarker2802.bsky.social · 07/06/2025

So basically last year I tried to start a football podcast reviewing old episodes of Match Of The Day etc and I’ve decided I want to bring it back. Only down side is I lost contact with Mike my co-host (mainly due to me leaving Twitter) so I’m wondering does anyone want to come on board. (Cont.)

Can anyone help me? How do I go about installing Championship Manager 00-01 on my modern laptop? If anyone can help I’d be very grateful as it’s for an upcoming written project!
