The latest Set Piece Menu - the podcast where four friends talk football over food. 

The football: Why do so many fans seem so miserable? The team wonders if it's sometimes easier to complain, and if wanting to be right can mean a supporter prefers his club to fail. 

The food: chorizo and pepper omelette from Steve, and glamorous liqueur chocolates from South Africa (well, Joburg airport duty free) from the returning Hugh.

We also reflect on what gives you joy in football, so keep the correspondence coming in:

SPM 52: Why do so many fans seem so miserable?

This is the latest Set Piece Menu - the podcast where four friends talk football over food.

The football: The Entourage. Neymar has one. Messi has one. Hinchcliffe didn't have one. Who are they and do they actually help or hinder a superstar player's career?

The food: Breakfast baps with a selection of fillings in, and this is crucial, home made muffins, provided by the inestimable Nicky Hinchcliffe.

SPM 143: The Entourage

This is Set Piece Menu - the podcast where four friends talk about football over food. They are together a writer, a commentator, a presenter and a pundit. Rory Smith is the Chief Soccer Correspondent of the New York Times, Steven Wyeth commentates for BT Sport and the BBC's Match Of The Day, Hugh Ferris is a presenter at BBC Sport, and Andy Hinchcliffe is a former England international (seven caps) who is now a pundit for Sky Sports. On each episode they discuss one footballing issue, while digesting a delicious lunch or brunch, and almost never reaching any sort of conclusion.
