🎙️ Welcome to This Week’s Award-Winning Podcast!
Russ and Waggie are joined by now semi-regular guest Mr Phil Lloyd for his fourth appearance — so no debut questions this time, just straight into the week’s talking points.
We dive into:
⚽️ The 1–0 defeat away at Reading — a better performance, but a late, gut-wrenching goal.
🔝 Still sitting 6th despite not exactly lighting up the league… and, by our own admission, not being that good.
🔄 Transfers Chat - Incomings, outgoings, and potential further outgoings — including the silly, stupid, and just plain ridiculous rumours (one that wasn’t really a rumour, but still needed putting to bed), plus the more credible whispers… although there aren’t many of those around at the moment.
🌍 MCO Talk - A discussion on Multi-Club Ownership and the majority stake in DVSC (Debreceni VSC).
And of course, it wouldn’t be a full episode without Random Sh*t of the Week — and this time, Waggie's in charge! 🎤
Due to external influences, it’s a REPEAT (😱)…
Start, Bench, Sell!
Three players per position — Russ and Phil make their choices (some tough choices in there).
Drop yours in the comments and let us know your why!

In this episode: In this episode of the award-winning The Scarf Bergara Wore, Steve is joined by Kosi from the 'And He Takes That Chance' podcast to preview a high-stakes League One clash at Edgeley Park. As Stockport County and Huddersfield Town battle for supremacy in the top six, the pair dive into the tactical blueprint of Lee Grant’s "Terriers,". We analyze the strike partnership of Alfie May and Bojan Radulović, the threat of Chelsea loanee Leo Castledine and whether Huddersfield’s defensive fragility on the road will be their undoing. We discuss if this Huddersfield squad has the Championship-ready depth to spoil the Hatters' party on Saturday., and whether Oliver Norwood’s deep-lying orchestration can steer the Hatters to victory.

In this episode of The Scarf Bergara Wore, Steve is joined by Ben from The Tilehurst End Podcast to preview Sunday's massive League One clash against Reading at Edgeley Park. We dive into the huge sigh of relief at the Select Car Leasing Stadium following the departure of Dai Yongge and the arrival of Rob Couhig’s Redwood Holdings. Ben gives us the lowdown on life under new ownership, the tactical shift since Leam Richardson took the reins in October, and why the Royals are starting to look like a real force again. We break down the danger posed by Lewis Wing and Jack Marriott, look back at the shared history involving icons like Adam Le Fondre and Ollie Norwood, and discuss whether County can bounce back from the Lincoln result to keep the pressure on the play-off places.

In this episode of The Scarf Bergara Wore, Steve kicks off the New Year by looking ahead to Stockport County’s trip to Sixfields Stadium to face Northampton Town. Joining the show is Charles Commins from the It’s All Cobblers To Me podcast to provide the inside track on the opposition. We dive deep into the state of play at Northampton, covering everything from the Kelvin Thomas ownership and the long-awaited opening of the East Stand to Kevin Nolan’s first full year in the dugout. Charles breaks down their summer business, the impact of Manchester United loanee Ethan Wheatley, and why the Cobblers’ home form has been a tough nut to crack. We also take a trip down memory lane to discuss the many players who have worn both shirts—including Fraser Horsfall and Matty Warburton—before making our all-important score predictions for the big New Year's Day clash.

Lincoln City arrive at Edgeley Park sitting 2nd in League One, having sustained a high-level promotion push under the long-term stability of chairman Clive Nates. Since Nates’ arrival in 2016, the Imps have transformed from National League champions into established League One contenders, combining smart investment at Sincil Bank with the tactical innovation of head coach Michael Skubala. In this preview, we dive into the data behind their league-best home form, their tactical identity as a high-pressing outfit, and the veteran core that has them dreaming of the Championship. We’ll also highlight the key players to watch and revisit the familiar faces who have represented both clubs in this high-stakes Boxing Day "six-pointer."

Welcome to another Scarf Bergara Wore match preview podcast! Ahead of Saturday’s massive League One clash at a Edgeley Park, Steve is joined by Matt from the brilliant Stevenage FC podcast Stand to preview Stockport County vs Stevenage. We dive into everything Boro: Phil Wallace’s long-term ownership, Alex Revell’s impressive start as manager (1.8 points per game, currently 6th and just a point behind County with a game in hand), a rock-solid defence that doesn’t concede many, summer transfer business, key men like Jamie Reid (6 goals already) and that stubborn back line, plus how Revell is likely to set up against Dave Challinor’s side.

Waggie is in the hot seat this week, joined by Andy, Jimmy, and Fan Debutant — Pete Mellor, the man who famously loses his top at most away days!

Then we dive into:
⚽️ The 2–0 win away at Doncaster — two superb goals and two potential red cards to debate.
📅 A look ahead to Saturday’s home clash with Stevenage.
🔝 Still within touching distance of the top, despite a relatively shaky November.
And of course, it wouldn’t be a full episode without Random Sh*t of the Week — this time, Andy takes the mic! 🎤
His twist on Family Fortunes brings a new game: “What’s in the Bag?”
