This week, Rob Phillips and former Wales international Nathan Blake are hailing legends of the past and present. Both were there when Newport County added more inductees to their Hall of Fame at a plush ceremony at the Celtic Manor as “The Exiles” continue to prove tough nuts to crack under Hayden Mullins. Wales legend Ben Davies earns more accolades as he finds his scoring boots and they look at how Ethan Ampadu is successfully walking in the footsteps of a legend at Leeds United. The duo analyse the fortunes of Swansea City, Wrexham and Cardiff City in the Championship; Merthyr Town lead football tributes on the anniversary of the Aberfan disaster; Mark ‘Jonah’ Jones joins the boys to review the Welsh Cup action amid another managerial departure in the Novira Cymru Leagues. They discuss a setback for TNS in the Genero Adran League as well asking the question - what is the role of a Wales under-21 coach? And CPD Llandysul get a mention too!00:00 - Introduction & Welcome 01:50 - Newport County: Rotherham Comeback & Form 08:00 - Newport Legends Night & Hall of Fame Inductees 14:27 - Spencer Boys & Grassroots Football 17:56 - Newport County Upcoming Fixtures & League Two 19:26 - Ethan Ampadu: 100 Games as Leeds Captain 21:52 - Ben Davies & Welsh Scorers in the Premier League 25:43 - Wrexham's Bounce Back & Phil Parkinson 32:05 - Swansea City's Season So Far 34:46 - Cardiff City & Middlesbrough Review 41:07 - Merthyr Town Update 43:47 - Aberfan Disaster 60th Anniversary Remembrance 46:19 - Cymru Premier & Welsh Domestic Football with Mark Jones 46:58 - Terry Boyle Leaves Llanelli & Lee John Returns 51:51 - Welsh Cup Round-Up & Key Fixtures 55:02 - Grassroots Spotlight & CPD Llandysul 56:56 - Genero Adran Premier League Update 58:36 - Matty Jones Steps Down as Wales U21 Manager 01:04:29 - Outro & Wrap-Up-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Follow Rob&Blakey on our socials:X https://x.com/robandblakeyInstagram / robandblakey Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/3EIFIAd...TikTok / robandblakey Threads https://www.threads.com/@robandblakeyBluesky https://bsky.app/profile/robandblakey...Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...Please like and subscribe!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#Football #Soccer #FootballPodcast #Podcast #CardiffCity #Bluebirds #CityAsOne #Swansea #Swans #Wrexham #WxmAFC #NewportCounty #OneClubOneCounty #Exiles #EFL #NoviraCymruLeagues #NoviraCymruPremier #GeneroAdranLeagues #GeneroAdranPremier #MerthyrTown #WeAreMerthyr #OurTownOurClub #WalesFootball #WelshFootball #Cymru #Wales #Rob&Blakey #CommentaryBox #LoudandClear #LoudandClearonWelshFootball #RedWall #YmaOHyd #WalesAway-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Brought to you with the support of the Journalism and Media courses at the University of South Wales* Atrium campus, home of the creative industries.
