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?

Happy New Year from Set Piece Menu - the podcast where four friends talk football over food.

The football: New year, new you, old us. Instead of looking ahead to a prosperous 2020, we are filling the final of our festive pod slots with the culmination of an idea we had at the end of 2019, by bringing together your suggestions for a not-yet trademarked Select XI of players that didn't live up to their hype.

NB: We are dissatisfied with one player, so your help is still needed...

The food: Just like millions of households all over the world, we are picking our way through something sugary that might have been given as a cheap and easy Christmas present. You can't remember who it was from, and you're regretting eating it almost immediately. In our case, it's some salted caramel pretzels. 

Your suggestions to what we'll call our 'JAB' problem and other correspondence to setpiecemenu@gmail.com and @setpiecemenu

SPM 159: Unfulfilled Potential XI

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.
