The Optus Sport Football Podcast
Sports:Football
Schwarzie and Phil are joined for the first time on the pod by former England, Wolves and Cardiff City striker Jay Bothroyd.
After spending a while revelling in how Jay has an England cap and Bridgey doesn't, the guys chat about Roy Hodgson stepping down as Crystal Palace manager and assess the Premier League title race.
Jay also tells us why we should be watching the J-League this season - a place where he spent six seasons playing - and Phil questions Barcelona again under Xavi.
