    A Tale of Two Draws

    It was the best of draws, it was the worst of draws... Carl Roberts, Iwan Roberts and Sam Vokes react to the contrasting draws for Wales in the men's World Cup 2026 qualifiers and the women's Euro 2025 finals. It's a favourable proposition for Craig Bellamy with qualifiers against Belgium, North Macedonia, Kazakhstan and Liechtenstein, but Rhian Wilkinson's squad could hardly have been drawn in a tougher group in their first appearance at a major championship with games to come against England, France and the Netherlands.

    Cardiff's Riza revival unravels

    From taking 12 points from his first six games, to just two from the next six, it's been an alarming slump in form for Cardiff City under manager Omer Riza. The poor run of results sees the Bluebirds sitting inside the relegation places, and showing little evidence of being able to reverse the alarming slide down the table.

    The lads also discuss Ben Cabango's contract situation at Swansea and whether the new owners will spend in January to make a push for the play-offs. And with the Christmas party season upon us, Iwan and Sam recall some of their favourite fancy dress exploits.

    How (not) to run a football club

    Elton John, Delia Smith and Georgian billionaire Mikheil Lomtadze - just a few club owners that Iwan and Sam have encountered during their nomadic playing careers. With Swansea City starting a fresh chapter under new ownership and Cardiff City stagnating under Vincent Tan, the boys share their thoughts and memories over playing under various owners, and how boardroom drama can affect performances on the pitch.

    There's finally some positive news for Sam as he steps up his return from injury - but how can he force his way back into a team on a 10-game winning streak? And Carl makes a startling film confession.
