Join us for our thoughts and emotions. All the emotions, all the memories. Thank you Mark. You'll always be our king.2024-11-081h 50The Nii Lamptey ShowWhen Mark Is ReadyOooh, look at the Nii Lamptey Show, taking a relaxed, light-hearted approach to things and going a bit existential.

The Nii Lamptey ShowChampionsWell, after a lot of waiting and a lot of mulling things over, everyone decided what we already knew: Coventry City were the best team in League One this season and were going to win the league anyway... so they might as well just make us bloody champions. Good call. It wasn't how we'd have liked, but by gosh, we are going to mark the occasion with a celebratory pod. Wacky circumstances call for wacky responses, so the Niis have gone with a mad five-man line up to wrap up the campaign. Joey, Paul, Neil, Laurie and...2020-06-111h 33

That aside there's still lots to talk about from the away win at Donny, while Shippers' plane celebration and Runar Normann's apparently questionable demeanour also draw comment. There's also another Godden disagreement for no real reason except Neil's unnecessarily protective nature towards his reputation. You can skip past that because nobody is actually slagging him off.

Het Anderlecht van Aad de Mos haalde Ghanese voetballer naar Brussel. Lamptey heeft nooit zijn belofte in kunnen vullen, ook niet bij PSV en zijn zwerftocht langs diverse andere clubs op de wereld. Een louche spelersmakelaar, een foute vrouw en vele privé-problemen, leidde hem uiteindelijk terug naar Ghana.

Have we got a show for you as we sum up Swindon with Laurie 'The Lonely Season' Kilpatrick, pick apart Portsmouth with Neil 'Nutmeg' Allison and broadcast the EFL cup draw LIVE!!! The Niis treat you to top quality content as they predict the draw outcomes for a number of teams ahead of the big prediction of who Cov will get. The grand finale is the big reveal itself and the only way you can find out who we're pl...2016-08-111h 07The Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 121 - Wind bagsThe Nii's didn't do a pod last week and it was through a sense of nominal obligation that they do one this week.
Paul tries to help Joey remember what happened in the Wigan game and Neil tells us about his gastroenterological anomaly
They're actually still talking now and Joey has hit record without them knowing it. Let's see how this goes...2016-04-151h 11The Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 117 - Kind of (sky) BlueLast week's extended audio suicide note was so enjoyable that we thought we'd do it again.
Neil is back in hizouse talking Rochdale but he can't lift the gloom as he bemoans the inexorable decline of the last few months.
With Laurie presumably having thrown himself off a cliff, under a bus and into a bath tub (while holding a plugged in toaster) we drafted in friend of the pod and the only non original Nii to have appeared in all four seasons of the pod (probably) CJ Joiner to talk about the Shrewsbury game.
2016-03-111h 07The Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 111 - Queen Lateefa Elford-AlliyuA wet and windy 2-2 draw causes some friction at Lamptey Towers despite us staying top of the league (well, for a couple of days) and the boys come to blows over the impact of missed chances, (ours against them) gifted chances (theirs by us) and the acceptable use of the word 'issues' 2015-12-031h 00The Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 110 - Top of the League!!!Howdy y'all
Sorry we left you for so long but we're back. The Nii's should be well rested but Joey is noticeably tired and brain dead this week and this has resulted in this entry being short and the pod going out unedited. That potentially sounds exciting like you'll get to see behind the curtain but instead you'll just hear Joey fucking up links more than usual and a live discussion about moving Only Covvect to next week
Still it's good to be back. It'll be a bit better next week. Probably...2015-11-271h 04The Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 109 - Cole or Cumberbatch?Hey hey hey,
Two games, one Cole, no goals; it's this week's Nii Lamptey Show! We try not to get too carried away with the Cole signing although it's very much a case of getting back to the stable with your horse pretty much out of sight. We find it pretty easy to not get carried away with two, admittedly very different, 0-0 draws and as usual we cut right through both of them with our laser sharp analysis laser.
Joey actually had time and tried to do a proper Swindon preview. This is the best...2015-10-221h 02The Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 102 - No Title This WeekThe Nii boys have found time in their busy schedule of coming up with songs featuring the name 'Lateef Elford Alliyu' to rbing you another podcast.
Joey missed the Southend game but Neil and Paul were there to fill him in on what was a topsy turvy game of positives and negatives, positives being that we got to see Lameiras ride on Johnson's back and negatives being Neil nearly drowning in roof water.
In other news we've got a competition on! Head to @NiiLampteyShow on Twitter and look for the tweet headed 'Competition Time' Retweet it...2015-09-0350 minThe Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 101 - Get Well Soon #JM10The Nii's are about a bit tired after 5 games in 2 weeks but that doesn't put the dampeners on what turned out to be a late night recording session. News of Maddison's injury did though...
We talk about *that* injury, *that* train station and Jordan Willis' sleep attire.
Warning: Contains continued optimism2015-08-2745 minThe Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 99 - #JM10After they confidently predicted an opening day defeat last week the Nii's return in buoyant mood to talk about a jarringly positive result and performance. Neil talks you through the performance of the debutants, Paul fires the bullets in a revamped Only Covvect and Joey copies someone (Dominic Jerams, AKA @SideSammy) else's homework for his Rochdale and Millwall previews 2015-08-1157 minThe Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 98 - Pre Season Optimism (Sort of)It's football time and the Lamptey crew are back to wreak havoc in a rusty, 'shit, I've forgotten how to podcast after 3 months of hypnotherapy to try and forget about the torment of the football season' kind of way.
We bumble our way through the pressing questions of the day and try to keep our chins up despite having sky blue anvils attached to them.
Warning: Contans frequent and unconvincing use of the word 'optimistic' and a Mila Kunis analogy from Paul that simply screamed 'we're back!'
Also - here are the l...2015-08-0350 minThe Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 79 - The Rabona of PodcastsThis week: Lamptey cross. Lamptey sad. Lamptey don't know how things got so bad.
Contains another attempt to debunk football. It's not for debunking.2014-10-241h 13The Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 76 - Niiche LampteyThis week: The Not Suitable For Anything performance against Preston gets a pummelling.
Contains some thoughts about £4.50 beers.2014-10-0156 minThe Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 75 - Repellent WaspsThis week: The Lamptey reassembly is complete. Newlywed Joey returns to the Nii line up and joins in the dissection of a fairly abject week of results.
Contains rude words for the owners of a certain Rugby club.2014-09-231h 05The Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 74 - While the Lamptey's awayThis week: The Lamptey saviour squad come through for you, what with Crone and Allison off galavanting.
Reda gets a bit of a telling off.
Contains a hiss. Soz.2014-09-181h 09The Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 73 - The Homecoming ExperienceThis week: It's been a huge week for City fans. We're home, and the Niis are delirious. Joey is off being married, but fear not - podcast regular Andy Powell not only joins the crew, but anchors the good ship Lamptey in marvellous fashion.
Contains some very tricky Only Covect questions. Good luck.2014-09-091h 00The Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 69 - Number EightThis week: All new Lamptey for the new season. New players, new games, same old opinions.
Contains fat jokes.2014-08-071h 09The Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 68 - Lamptey Awards BashThis week: The Lampteys close the season with an obligatory round up of everything that's gone on.
Contains a final farewell to Franck Moussa.2014-05-091h 33The Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 63 - Lamptey Podcasting SolutionsThis week: The Ole Gunnar Solksjaer of the podcasting world does it again - Andy Powell steps in at the last minute to win the Champions League for Manchester United. Or just perform admirably for the Nii Lamptey Show podcast while Neil is unavailable. The boys chat Callum Wilson, Chuba Akpom, weird adverts and Jordan Clarke's return to centre back.
Contains bold predictions.2014-03-201h 08The Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 61 - Nii McLegacyThis week: After another defeat you could forgive the Niis for going barmy. That doesn't appear to have happened however, and the Tranmere defeat gets a thorough, yet pragmatic going-over.
Contains slightly less Wogan-esque sound quality than usual. Blame anything but us.2014-02-2751 minThe Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 50 - Gould-en AnniversaryThis week: It's 50-up for the Lamptey boys, and they celebrate in the only way they know how; with absolutely no mention of the special occasion. Following Joey's meeting with the main men at the Council, it includes a special guest appearance from his partner in crime for that discussion - Andy Powell.
Contains plenty of chit-chat about what happened against Bradford too.2013-11-191h 14The Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 45 - The Joy DivisionThis week: It's the one you've been waiting for - Joey's only gone and met with Joy Seppala and Tim Fisher. Here he gives a full and frank round up of those meetings, as well as providing some crucial insight into the personalities behind the decisions.
Let's not beat around the bush - there's a lot to discuss, so prepare yourself for a sitting or two as the Nii Lamptey Show continues its attempts to navigate such a frustratingly complex and emotive issue.
Don't worry, contains post-Brentford waffle, Going for Gould and all the other...2013-10-011h 32The Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 38 - Sides of the fenceThis week: The Lamptey team for 2013/14 are back. Joey, Neil and Paul look over the opening week's football, Carl Baker's fan control, and once again discuss the burning issue of Northampton.
Contains balance and fairness. It really does.2013-08-091h 04The Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 37 - The Bomb SquadThe newly liquidated Nii Lamptey Show makes a poor start to the season with certain key members of the squad unavailable (Neil is on holiday) and some left to look for another club (Ed has decided that the rock and roll lifestyle that comes with being a niche football podcaster isn't for him and has stepped away for the time being) Still they soldier on with just Paul and Joey for this week as they attempt to break the world record for talking without providing any insight on everything from liquidation to their reasons for being 'scabs'.
I...2013-08-0251 minThe Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 35 - Cathartic reliefThis week: It's the penultimate Lamptey of the season and Ed does a fantastic job (even if he says so himself) in eloquently drawing the curtains on the match reports for the campaign. We're also delighted to invite Katy Fancourt from the CCFC ladies team into the house of Nii for a chat about how things are going for them.
Contains Aaron Martin ambivalence. We'd listen right to the very end if we were you.2013-04-3050 minThe Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 30 - England's Cody McDonaldThis week: It's a full complement of Lamptey boyz again - hoorah. Main topics consuming the Niis this episode include the treatment of McSheffrey, an improved defensive performance and John Fleck: the running brick wall.
Contains a special guest appearance by Hartlepool's number 8.2013-03-1951 minThe Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 25 - Where's the love?This week: Little Eddie W is absent from duty, but there's no stopping the Lamptey express. It's been a rotten 7 days, and while Robins vented his frustration after the defeat to Yeovil, this has certainly split the crew.
Contains an unnerving lack of Richard Wood.2013-02-121h 05The Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 24: The Ricoh horror showThis week: It's the day after the night before, and the Niis aren't feeling too good. Can they find a way of rationalising what happened? Is the JPT dream completely over? Will Ed ruin Going for Gould again? There's only one way to find out - by treating yourself to another little slice of Lamptey goodness.
It'll make you feel better, honest.
Contains straw clutching.2013-02-071h 00The Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 20 - William Edjenguele's new coatThis week: Cup fever has hit Lamptey Towers and the boys are looking back at the lessons from Spurs, but more keenly towards potentially the biggest game of the season so far; Thursday's JPT clash with Preston. Billy Edge's new attire has also caught their attention, and Neil has trouble with his left and right.
Contains plenty of myths getting Crone-busted.2013-01-081h 00The Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 19 - ...and a Happy Nii Year!This week: The Niis are all Quality Streeted out and return to ponder the work of the team over Christmas. They also try tremendously hard to get excited about the forthcoming trip to Spurs.
Contains nuts.2013-01-0355 minThe Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 18 - Merry Christmas, you filthy animalsThis week: It's the final Lamptey show before the Christmas period and the Niis are in jovial mood. Ed's otherwise engaged (we think he's a mate of Santa), but this doesn't stop the festive cheer following a phenomenal 4-1 win over Doncaster. The guys also take the chance to review the first half of what's been a topsy turvy campaign thus far.
Contains serious predictions.
2012-12-1959 minThe Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 13 - The drinks are on Nii!This week: It's a party atmosphere in the house of Lamptey as the boys learn about Ratner Effect and Baker uneffect. We talk about the merits of Joe Murphy and his 60 yard conversations, and Richard Wood drops by. Unconvincingly. Several times.
WARNING: Contains 0% actual Richard Wood.2012-11-171h 07The Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 10 - You won't like Nii when he's angryThis week: The Lamptey boys are upset. Things aren't going quite to plan with the Robins revolution, and while David McGoldrick continues to keep Ed aroused, the Sky Blues have fallen back into their losing ways and are playing atrociously.
Contains crossness.2012-10-251h 00The Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 6 - Richard UnShawThis week: The house of Nii is excited. The final managerial interviews are afoot, and this can mean only one thing. Richard Shaw's temporary reign is coming to an end (unless Andy Turner is to believed, which he is not). Here, they run the rule over the supposed candidates.
Contains Barry banter.2012-09-181h 00The Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 5 - Four men and a babyThis week: It's a full quota of Lamptey boys to discuss the impending managerial appointment, David McGoldrick's World Player of the Year odds and Adam Barton's inherent softness.
Contains the hardest ever Going for Gould.2012-09-1357 minThe Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 2 - Welcome to League OneThis week: Following an unbeaten (yet frustrating) start to the campaign, the Nii Lamptey crew are back to run the rule over the three opening games of the season. (Contains copious amounts of Kevin Malaga.)2012-08-2359 minThe Nii Lamptey ShowEpisode 1 - The Nii Lamptey Show (pilot)This week: The boys discuss the Championship relegation, hopes for the new season, and desperately struggle to answer the question - just who is the club's figurehead? 2012-08-161h 14
