About this episode

You join us again in the time machine as we head back to the 2011/12 season! This time around, there is a truly fantastic array of jewels from the Ramble crown. We check in with Gigi Becali for the first time this series, hear of Jonathan Woodgate nutting a glass bottle in Ibiza and get our teeth into a Dog XI. Plus, the seminal work ‘If We Could Clone Ian Woan’.


All that plus Euro 2012 predictions, Bob Hippy and loads more! Bobby dazzler!
