Sweeper! - Steve Bruce (Chapter 8)

A chapter we can safely describe as 'lesser Bruce' as one too many automobile based interventions hinder Steve (and arguably the plots) momentum to both solve the mystery of Old Sam and prepare for the upcoming match under the floodlights. But we do enjoy the return of an old 'friend' who we thought we'd seen the last of...

Sweeper! - Steve Bruce (Chapter 7)

Erik Bantona, Ryan Bobson, David Becklamb, Cristiano Ronalyes, in the history of Mulcaster United the number 7 has been steeped in legend. To be associated with said numeral is a mark of quality, of commitment to excellence, of the ability to elevate your chosen pursuit above and beyond those around you. Will the same semantic brilliance pour from the pages of chapter 7 of Sweeper! ? The answer... is no...

We do however learn a lot more about the dynamic of Steve Barnes marriage and their Sunday newspaper consumption habits, his contempt for those who dwell on the past, and we meet the enigmatic Mr Smith who may or may not have

Sweeper! - Steve Bruce (Chapter 6)

Chapter 6 is here and we're into big hitter territory now. Steve uncovers more details about the enigmatic Sam and his shady past, something foul fills the air in Leddersford and it's not just the tripe. And yes, we're both crestfallen and relieved that the plot is starting to gain some real momentum. Let's hope for Steve's sake he can make it back in time for Christmas shopping with Susan...

For this episode, we are joined by comedian and one part of the Oh What A Time podcast, Tom Craine, to watch back the first episode of ITV’s The Premiership.

We review ITV’s brave new world of 7pm starts, scoreboards and fact graphics flanked by Andy Townsend’s Tactics Truck.

We also get Sunderland manager Peter Reid in what looks like a hostage video, Fabrizio Ravanelli cooking pasta with Derby’s Spaghetti Bob and Leeds United’s Alan Smith – the first winner of Ally McCoist’s Golden Goals - scoring a goal which is probably better than Dennis Bergkamp’s v Newcastle.

Plus, we dive into your correspondence which includes the TRUTH behind why Wolves were sponsored by Doritos and the first Let’s Be Having You Verified confirms an interesting story from Alex’s past.

Sweeper! - Steve Bruce (Chapter 5)

Chapter 5 picks up with some dynamite prose from Bruce. A masterclass in semantic efficiency. And then goes swiftly and consistently downhill from there...

We meet Steve's short-term sidekick in landlord Malik, and there's some revelations about the dynamic of Steve's marriage. We'd call this chapter 'joining tissue' - and we'd also love to know which famous crime writer would do the best job at rewriting or punching up the Bruce / Barnes trilogy?... answers on a postcard below...

Thanks

We're back in Leddersford and it's a trip to the morgue for Steve Barnes to try and get to the bottom of Old Sam's increasingly mysterious demise. There's a memorable cameo for some new but fleeting characters in this chapter (let us know who you imagined playing them in the film / TV spin off below) and elsewhere in the postbag we solve a mystery of our own when it comes to Steve's son Alex appearing in photos of the England team in that infamous trip abroad before Euro 96...
