In a must-listen episode, SWYW pod is back this week as Jamie, Steve and Jersey Chris are joined by Graeme Swann (dialling in from India) and Chris Murray for an episode that somehow manages to blend sci‑fi arguments, FPL strategy, cricket insight, street‑food fun and a whole lot of laughing.
The show kicks off with a full‑blown debate on Star Wars — including which episodes are truly the worst — plus a detour into Star Trek and Swanny’s brilliant Celebrity Mastermind stories and celebrity run‑ins.
Then it’s into football and FPL mayhem: • Arsenal’s title nerves and every other fan hoping they bottle it • Relegation panic setting in • Chip strategy talk and a looming double gameweek • League results, top and bottom performers, and Steve’s full standings rundown across all divisions • Cup quarterfinal matchups and promotion/relegation battles • Predictions for Man City vs Brentford, Forest vs Newcastle, and West Ham vs Arsenal
Swanny also discusses his new role with London Spirit, shouting out rising Jersey star Asa Tribe, while Murray previews defending his crown at the British Street Food Awards and a packed summer festival season.
It’s loud, it's informative, it's a bit more sweary than usual, and it’s one of the funniest episodes of the season.

Spygate, Socceraid, Fantasy Finals & VAR Rants, it's all in episode 83 of Sing When You’re Winning as we land on the final weekend of the season and EFL playoff finals.
Jamie, Jersey Chris and Steve are joined by huge Leeds fans Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Joe Derrick.
The pod dives into “Spygate” involving Southampton and Middlesbrough ahead of the playoff final, comparing it to the Bielsa incident and debating punishments and timing. They track a tense fantasy head-to-head between Nikolaj and Chris, discuss Leeds’ season and Daniel Farke, and vent about VAR, refereeing inconsistency, and Arsenal’s record for red cards and penalties conceded.
The group previews key final-day fixtures (including Leeds–West Ham, Spurs–Everton and Palace–Arsenal), chats Soccer Aid training and injuries, and jokes about ChatGPT quizzes going wrong.
