Gary and Emily take us past half a century with analysis from Sheffield United.Lincoln City's 3-0 defeat at Sheffield United gives Gary and Emily plenty to disagree about in episode 501 of the Stacey West Podcast. Emily wasn't impressed with what she saw at Bramall Lane, while Gary has arrived armed with enough stats to get another xG argument going. We discuss the missed chances, defensive mistakes, team selection and whether this could be the moment for some of our summer signings to get their opportunity.There's also the away day experience to pick over, from the flat atmosphere to crowded steps and chaotic food queues, although Gary's chicken pie and roast potatoes seem to have gone down rather better. Back at Sincil Bank, we discuss the temporary stand becoming a home supporters area and welcome the news of Tendayi Darikwa's new contract.We also reflect on our 500th episode interview with Chris Cohen and Tom Shaw, their partnership and the signed shirt Gary appears determined to keep. There's a quick word on West Ham, plus the usual diversions involving live music, a gold chain and a rather expensive piece of Lincoln City history.Were you more with Gary or Emily on the Sheffield United performance?

We've reached 500 episodes of The Stacey West Podcast! To celebrate, we're joined by Lincoln City head coaches Chris Cohen and Tom Shaw for a special conversation about their partnership, their journey and leading the Imps in the Championship. Chris and Tom explain how they first came together, why sharing the head coach role felt natural and what happened behind the scenes when Michael Skubala left. We also hear why Lincoln kept drawing Chris back, while Tom revisits his memorable appearance in an Imps shirt at Accrington. The pair discuss the challenges of Championship football, the trust they place in our players and the areas they've been working on during the international break. They also reveal their personal highlights so far, including a training session that told them plenty about the character of this squad. There's time for former Imps favourites, lessons from the managers they played under, competitive pool matches and the serious business of Tom's fist pumps! Thank you to everyone who has listened, watched and supported us along the way. Enjoy episode 500, and subscribe for more Lincoln City interviews, discussion and analysis.
