Lion Of Vienna Suite Podcast

Football isn't the only thing to be back this week, as Dan finally returns from his tour of the French Riveria, and in the absense of Chris, he hosts the pod on his return. Joining him for Episode 22 is stand in tech wizard Rob and Tom of the DownTheMannyRd variety, as it now appears that we've got 24 Toms on staff. The show got underway with a comprehensive review of Bolton Wanderers' Championship curtain raiser with Derby County. The lads discussed the match in great detail discussing everything from Jay Spearing's red card, to Zach Clough's nulification. From the great debuts of Madine, Prince and Wilson, to the seeming redemptions of Dorian Dervite and Dean Moxey. Not to mention Emile Heskey and the impact he made. Next up saw the cast preview two games, as the football is already coming thick and fast. First of all, with Burton Albion in the Capital One Cup coming up on Tuesday, the players they'd lack to see start the game were dicussed. Then, with the Whites having to travel to Middlesbrough on Satur

See, I told you that you wouldn't have to wait too long for the second part of #LOVpod Episode 21, and here it is in all it's glory. The cast remains the same as Chris is joined by Bolton News chief football writer, Marc Iles, and a triplet of LOV writers, with Liam, Rob and debutant Tom. Part II of Episode 21 begins with the pre-season predictions, as all the lads give their detailed thoughts on how Bolton Wanderers will fair this coming season. Then quick fire their thoughts on the Championship in general, who'll go up, who'll go down, who'll score the most goals and so on and so forth.  The fourth and final segment of the massive podcast is the part you were all no doubt waiting for, where we asked Marc your questions. Once again, all the questions were met with truly facinating answers and they are a must listen for every Wanderers fan. There's even talk about David Ngog costing £7 million... But for that and more you'll have to listen for yourself! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm

It's a pre-season extravaganza, it's a bumper five-man show, it's the return of special guest, Bolton News chief football writer, Mr. Marc Iles. And it's bloody long, but also bloody fantatsic. It's so long in fact, that we've had to split the show into two parts, the first of which is available for listening now, with the scond coming on Wednesday. Host Chris is joined by Marc, stand in Tech Wizard Rob, the maverick Liam O'Meara and, making his debut, U21 correspondent Tom Molloy. The first lengthy segment of Part I was discussing everything of note from the last two friendlies of pre-season, against Port Vale and Charlton Athletic. Talk of Gary Madine, Filip Twardzik, Derik Osede, Tim Ream, Andy Kellett, Josh Vela, Zach Clough and many more was in abundance.  Next up was a round up of all the news that's occured over the past week. Starting witht the soon to be announced triple signing of Lawrie Wilson, Stephen Dobbie and Emile Heskey. Next up was the potential signing of Italian right back Francesco Pi

After a rather conspicuous abscene, the #LOVpod is finally back, well at least some of it. Yes, unfortunatley, one of the participants in this weeks episode kind of disapears after an twenty minutes, as his recording cut out. But thanks to Dan's wonderful editing, all the way from the French Riviera, it makes a degree of sense. So listen closely as Chris and new boys Tom Wilson and for a bit, Alastair Sledge, discuss the talking points of the last two weeks, including Bolton Wanderers' bad, then much improved pre-season showings, the likes of Stephen Dobbie, Lawrie Wilson and Derik Osede, Darren Pratley being given the captain's arm band and then a certain fund raising campaign for a certain Adam Le Fondre. The pod is then brought to a close with a game of guess who and the question of the week, which enquired into the level of concern you have for Wanderers' potential relegation next season. With lots of random ramble in between, we hope you enjoy the return of the #LOVpod. Learn more about your ad choices

We here at Lion of Vienna Suite are always on the look out for fellow Bolton Wanderers fans to come to us with their own ideas and inspirational creations, usually in the form of writing, but now in a whole new direction too. You may have, or at least I hope you did, notice that there was no #LOVpod in the last week. Yes, for the first time since we started the endeavour - over four months a go now - we ended up missing a week, mainly due to me jetting off abroad again and other people just not managing to find the time. Well, someone did notice, a gentleman by the name of Alastair Sledge. Completely off his own accord, he sent us a short 13 minute "filler episode of the LOVpod; just him on his own, talking about the events in the last week. I absolutely loved it. Because it was obviously a lot more scripted, it felt like something different to the #LOVpod. It felt sharp, well written and concise. Due to timings and other such issues, you'll never hear the original recording Alastair sent me. But since I

The LOVpod is finally back, sorry for the delay! On this wee's packed episode Chris returns after his absense last week, and he's along side Dan, fresh of his first lad's holiday, and Tom, as they discuss a whole matter of things.  First up was some brief chat on the subject of lad's holidays, the small matter of Leicester City hiring a manager that isn't Neil Lennon, Man United's transfer activities and new kit news! Some proper Bolton Wanderers chat was up next, as the lads delved into pre-season talk and discussed Bolton's two friendly defeats against Sturm Graz and Paderborn, and whether we can really take anything away from them at this early stage. After that the transfer section, which has finally been pushed from the begining of the pod to somewhere near the back, made an apperane, as the likes of Derik, Jordan Lussey, Jon Ceberio, Alex Baptiste, Conor Wilkinson, Craig Davies, Sanmi Odelusi and Eidur Gudjohnsen were all debated over at length. Finally, things were brought to a close with another

This week's episode of the Lion of Vienna podcast was quite an awkward affair, with four segments recroded over three days, one of which this week's host, Dan Murphy, was steaming drunk on. Which you may find annoying or hummourous depending on your taste. Dan was joined at various points by Elliot, Rob and Arran Clements as they dicussed a wide range of things. First of all was a brief chat on the return of football, as a Bolton Wanderers XI traveled to Dan's home town of Atherton to face Atherton Collieries. Next up discussion on all the going ons at the Macron this week, including chat on Ben Amos, Gary Madine and Darren Pratley all signing with the Wanderers, Wilson Palacios and Stephen Dobbie coming in on trial, the signing of Derik Osede, dreams of Kevin Nolan returning, and the saddening departure of Eidur Gudjohnsen. The second segment was a chat about how to improve the atmosohere at the Macron next season, as the lads went for a meating with the club on how to improve it. Then they discussed the

We're back once again with the latest episode of the #LOVpod, and this week is a packed affair with lots to talk about. Chris, Dan and Liam began the pod with the traditional news segment of the pod, kicking off with the startling revelation that Bolton Wanderers may be signing David Dunn. The lads then discussed the other rumoured incoming over the past week including Ryan Taylor, James Forrest and Wilson Palacios, that was before they then casted their eyes on the potential outgoings of Conor Wilkinson, Sanmi Odelusi, Rob Hall and others from the Macron Stadium. The segment was then brought to a close by discussing the returning Baptiste, Spearing and Medo, and also chatting about Tim Ream's call up to the USA's Gold Cup sqaud. Next up, it was time to discuss the new BWFC home kit that has been quite a contentious issue on the internet, and the results are surprisingly positive. Liam then listened on in bemusement as Dan and Chris spent a good ten minutes discussing squad numbers for the coming season. A

Due to there being not much to talk about in regards to Bolton Wanderers of late, this weeks #LOVpod is actually the shortest we've ever done. But don't let that deter you, as the lads still squeze in some great Wanderers discussion.  Regulars Chris, Dan and Tom are this week joined by a new debutant, a recent addtion to the LoVS writing team and the wonderfully named - Eddie Skelly.  As ever, the pod is kicked off with a rumour round up, as they group discusses the strenuous links with DeAndre Yedlin and the more realistic chasing of a second Sheffield Wednesday forward, this time Chris Maguire. Familiar names Sergi Enrich and Nick Kuipers also found them selves back amongst the gossip. Next up, with rumous about who our new kit sponsor is to be and with the reveal of the new home shirt due this week, the lads shared their personal favourite and worst Bolton kits from the years. That was followed by another game of Guess Who? and I bet you'll never guess who won. Then things were all brought neatly to a

Back on time and back on form, yep, the #LOVpod managed to be completed all in one night this week, and there wasn't one serious technical mishap to be seen. Such bliss. On this weeks show was the regulars Dan and Chris, the returning Rob, and special guest, Mark Yesilevskiy, co-founder of the Lion of Vienna Suite, making his pod debut. The show once again kicked off with a good old news round up. Whilst there wasn't much to talk about in terms of Bolton signing players, apart from the new rumour that we're apparently trying to bring Leicester City centre back, Liam Moore in on loan. However, there was still plenty of news to be had. Adam Bogdan's move to Liverpool was finally confirmed, and his replacement in Ben Amos is said to be completed, but just needs to be confirmed. Darren Pratley deciding to sign a new deal instead of leaving was discussed, before a brief talk on our reaction to long time Bolton target, Craig Morgan, opting to sign for Wigan. In segment two, the lads discussed, with the fixtures

In a recording that was ravaged and plauged by technical difficulties, horrendous internet conncections, crying children and barking dogs, the lads have somehow managed to ranshackle together a half coherent #LOVpod, just for you. Before the custom transfer round up began, the reacurring trio of Chris, Dan and Tom briefly discussed the Champions League and just how remarkable Barcelona and Lionel Messi are. Then came debate surrounding the players who've been linked with Bolton Wanderers in the last week: Alfred Finnbogason, Wilson Palacios, Richie Towell and Daryl Hogan, before ranting about Liverpool fans' reaction to the news that they're signing Adam Bogdan. The next segment saw Dan and Tom share their all time Wanderers XI's, with one being considerably worse than the other and thus getting swiftly torn apart. No spoilers as to who that was *cough* Dan *cough*. Then the lads quickly gave their views on the much debate Rooney Rule. After that the podcast was brought to an end with the second round of G

We're back again for this the 13th episode of the #LOVpod and it's yet another one where we try something completely new. First of all, the usual hosts of Chris and Dan are this week joined by special guest Tom, or @downthemannyrd, a regular listener/reader of Lion of Vienna who we invited to join us. It's the first of hopefully many guest apperances from you guys. Conversation got underway with the reaccuring rumour round up, as potential transfers for Norwich City's Garry Hooper and recently released Nantes winger, Vincent Bessat were discussed. Along with the rumous that Darren Pratley is departing to Ipswich Town and the goalkeeping situation which is yet to be settled. Chat moved swiftly on to next season, and the lads discussed what would be succses for them in the coming campaign, Bolton being relegation favouites according to SkyBet and who else we think will struggle in the Championship next year.  Another innovation followed, as a brand new feature to the podcast appeared, as the lads contested i

Coming to you slightly later this week due to the Bank Holiday, it's the 12th episode of the Lion of Vienna Podcast. We've been going three months now! Who'd have thought we'd ever make it this far? So thank you all for your continuedlistenership and support.  With all the football gradually coming to a stop, there's isn't much to talk about this week, but the lads still managed to squeeze over an hours worth of Bolton Wanderers chat out, for your amusement.  Chris was joined once again by Dan and Liam on a rare three man pod, and proceedings got underway with a round up of all the latest rumours. The seemingly completed capture of Gary Madine, the continued link with Craig Morgan which was only intensified this week as he left Rotherham and the gossip of the Whites being linked with a Barnsley play maker. Discussion also briefly turned to our own contract issues, as Gudjohnsen, Pratley and Bogdan are all yet to sign new deals.  The second segment of the show saw the lads discuss how we feel our released p

It's a return to normality for the lads on the LOVpod this week, as no star studied guest will be joining us this week. But never fear as the lovely Rob Latham and the horrible Tim Ream hater, Liam O'Meara, return to the fold to join the remainging duo of Chris and Dan. I'm sure you'll be thrilled to know that the running time is quite a bit less than last weeks too.   This week on the show the crew get things underway by discussing the receently released Bolton Wanderers retained list, and sharing how we al reacted to the news that thirteen players will be leaving the club for defineite this summer. Then the conversation moved onto the players that reamin at the Macron Stadium, those four who are in flux and still locked in talks with the club, and the youngsters which have all penned their first professional deals. The third segment was what you've all been waiting for, as the winners of the LOVawards were finally announced, as the lads were joined by a plethora of well known stars for the prestigous eve

This weeks LOVpod is the longest we've ever done by quite a long way, and that's for very good reason, as we had the pleasure to be joined by the Bolton News chief football writer, and the very highly respected, Marc Iles.  Coupled with the very much welcomed return of Chris to the hosting seat, this weeks pod is a must listen for any Bolton Wanderers supporter. Things get underway with Chris and Marc discussing the previous season in intricate detail, from Dougie Freedman's failure to the positivity that Neil Lennon brought with him, and eveything inbetween. Next Chris posed the questions gathered from you, the lovely listeners, which led to some really interesting discussion on a wide variety of topics. After that Dan and Lee stormed into the proceedings for segment three, as all four of the lads went through their personal goal, match, moment, young play and player of the season. The fan results from the polls (which you can still vote on on lionofviennasuite.com) will be announced in the #LOVawards show

It's a momentus day in LOVPod history as, for the first time ever, we have a recurring cast. Whether that's a good or bad thing, well, that's for you to decide.  Daniel Murphy is once again your host and he's joined by Rob Latham and Lee Tennant, as they all manage to ramble on for far too long about Bolton Wanderers. The lads discussed in great detail the depressing affair that was the Whites' last game of the season, a 1-0 defeat to Birmingham City; reflected on the season on a whole, dissecting the bad moments and the good; they debated over which on-loan players should stay in the summer and finally ended with the Twitter question of the week.

With Lord Manning away basking in the Florida sunshine, Dan takes over hosting responsibilities for the eighth episode of the LOVpod, and you can almost pinpoint the exact moment in which he buckles under the pressure of carrying such a prestigious mantle.  He's joined by two lovely chaps in the shape of Lee Tennant and Rob Latham as they discuss a deluge of topics. Recording immeditialy after Bolton's embaressing performance against Bournemouth, they get things under way by discussing all the facets of the game: Bolton's no show, the flaws of the 3-5-2, the utter ineptitude of our defending and Bournemouth's chances of Premiear League survivial next season. Then they move on to talking points such as: Emile Heskey staying at the club next season, Paddy McCarthy's injury, what Neil Lennon needs to do during the summer and how he'll recruit new additions to his squad and the saddening retirement of defender Marc Tierney. After that, it's all about looking forward for the boys, as they preview our last game

This weeks sees the first and last Episode 7 of the Lion of Vienna podcast. Hosted by Mr. Chris Manning, he's joined by Lee, Dan and occasionally by Dan's dog, as they discuss the big stories surrounding Bolton Wanderers in the past week. The boys discussed the drab 1-1 draw with Charlton Athletic, Barry Bannan and Neil Danns' naughty  late night antics, a slightly better result with the hard fought point away at Brentford and then they take to the listeners' opinions in the Twitter question of the week.
