Guest Appearance - The Seagulls' Brendan Leigh. Today the Sharks discuss all things Seagulls with Brendan whilst still finding time to cover curtain companies and heading records, we have an interview with a genuine famous football person who has won a lot of stuff', and we see the launch of the IBUniverse!

Guest - Joe Bootland. Bumper episode today as we figure out how to have a guest - this week last season's top scorer for the Alts Joe Bootland - but not prattle on for more 90 minutes, and discuss the obligatory birthdays, autobiographies, former JJ legend's plate shenanigans, the heat vs. the wind, two tales of lucky shirts and an alternative use for goalie gloves, and we leave with a very important message that could just save the world. Al's mic had a slight issue so forgive the hiss....

Against all odds, Al and James return for another round of Island Bay United news and views, detailing a good weekend for the Alts and a bit of a drab one for the JJs, as well as the usual birthday coverage. A new section is added, the name of which is revealed mid-show, but it is basically a watered-down version of Would I Lie To You, and we hear from a familiar Irishman and learn of some curious door-lock mix-ups.

The opening podcast....or 'pilot', if you will....of James and Al's look at everything Island Bay United, mainly focusing on the sibling teams of the JJs and the Alt-JJs. This episode we cover the link between Paul Parker and James, the dramatic 9-man Alts 3-1 win against the battlers, the squads for the forthcoming winter season, Al's goal he scored about 28 months ago, and why James can't kick it very far and shuts his eyes for headers.
