No J.League? No problem! Well, kind of a problem if your podcast is focused on talking about the J.League. Still, Jon Steele & Stuart Smith manage to fill up 45 minutes with (mostly) football talk. Some very serious, some not so. In the absence of any football to watch, we hope you enjoy it.

The 2020 J.League season gets going on Friday night, and to get you ready for the big kickoff we opened the door for any and all questions on J1, and our Patreon supporters and twitter followers certainly did not let us down.
Here in Part 1 of our Quextravaganza, special guest Dan Orlowitz from The Japan Times joined Sam and myself to answer the first batch of queries from our audience, while this episode also features my catch up with Scott McIntyre (this runs from 21:02 to 1:08:43).

We begin this episode with a look back at Saturday's wild and woolly Super Cup between Kobe and Yokohama, then our countdown of all top flight sides continues with Kansai rivals Gamba Osaka and Vissel (to 18:55).
Oita leads off Part 2, then things get a bit murky as we plough through Sapporo, Sendai, Shimizu, Nagoya and Urawa (to 45:55), before we finish off with Tosu, Shonan and promoted sides Kashiwa and Yokohama FC.
We're throwing the doors open to questions on anything and everything top flight-related in next week's pod, so get them in to @JTalkPod and/or @FRsoccerSam and we'll answer your queries in the next episode.

After warming up, Jon Steele & Stuart Smith are here to give a deep dive preview of the 2020 J2 season. Featuring a look at all the clubs and what they've done to strengthen and/or how they've been weakened. Also featuring computer metaphors, foreign goalkeepers, a stray f-bomb, a half time break and many other cool things.
It is a lot, but it is well worth your time. Any feedback is absolutely welcome, so you can contact us at:

Guess who's back? Stuart Smith & Jon Steele open the 2020 season with a brief (by our standards) and breezy introduction to J2. Who has the best kit? Who does Jon think could beat him up? What's going on in Gunma? Who will bring shithousery back to J2 this year?
It will all become clear in the J-Talk: Extra Time season premiere! Enjoy.
