Episode 541 - J1 Matchday 34

Returning refreshed from the international break, Jonny and Ben reflect on J-Talk Live at the beginning of the episode, before sinking their teeth into the weekend's topsy-turvy J1 Matchday 34, in which none of the top three won, but four of the bottom six (at the start of the matchday) did!

J-Talk Short Corner - J3 Round 32 Review

In a standalone JTET mini-pod, Mike 'The Magic' Innes runs his forensic eye over last weekend's J3 action.

There's plenty to discuss, with under-new-ownership Omiya clinching promotion with six games to spare, as well as a heated battle for Play-Off places. At the foot of the table, there are still several teams who are in dire need of points to avoid a possible Relegation Play-Off at the end of the season.

Mike wraps things up with his customary check on the league table, and a preview of the upcoming Round 33 fixtures this weekend.

Thank you for all the support, and enjoy the show!

J-Talk: Extra Time – J2 Round 34 & J3 Round 31

There were plot twists galore in J2 and J3 last weekend, and James Taylor, Jon Steele and Mike Innes have all the details in this week’s JTET. First, James and Jon discussed the opening game at the Peace Stadium connected by Softbank in Nagasaki, where the generous visitors were Oita (start to 17:50), then Kofu’s surprise win over Okayama (17:50 to 26:30) and the draw between relegation-threatened Tochigi and Ehime (26:30 to 37:55). Next, it’s Most Bravo Player time (37:55 to 43:20), there’s a preview of the next round of fixtures (43:20 to 50:00) and of this weekend’s J-Talk LIVE at the Yokohama Football Film Festival (50:00 to 55:00). Then Mike takes over for a full review of J3 matchday 31 in J-Talk: Short Corner (55:00 to end).

Then in Part 3 (from 24:53) Jonny and Ben review all of the games from J1 Matchday 33, beginning at the bottom, with Tosu and Sapporo seemingly doomed, and Iwata's survival hopes on life support.

Jonny and Ben begin this episode with a wrap of most of what went on in ACL and domestic action last midweek (to 11:17), before they had the pleasure of being joined by new Kyoto correspondent Jamie Meikle to chat about Sanga's win over Chiba in the Emperor's Cup quarter final, and the terrific game that both he and Jonny were at on Sunday night: the 2-all draw between Kyoto and Gamba Osaka (to 49:55).
