Recurring Segments
- The News - José reports the news around the football world, introducing the segment by saying only "The news!" Often includes José's 'My Top Story', reflecting on the main football story of the week. The first episode of Season two included José reporting on the weather and showing sunny weather in Italy (the location of his new job) and thunderstorms in England in the locations of Liverpool, Manchester (Manchester United) and London (Arsenal). Often ended with José declaring, in a different way every time, that he is "fantastic" (e.g. he once sucked the helium out of a balloon before saying it in a distorted voice).
- Help Find A Home... - Wayne tries to find a job or team for an unemployed manager or player, in the vein of an adoption TV commercial.
- Wayne's Word - Wayne Rooney defines a difficult-to-pronounce footballing term. Named after the recurring sketch from Saturday Night Live, and a biography of Rooney with the same name. Introduced by Sven on guitar, wearing a bandanna (which has led to him being accused of pretending to be Willie Nelson)
- Sven's Wonderful World of Football - Sven is supposed to give his take on the football world, but things don't often go to plan. Ended one segment singing "It's Not Unusual" to British troops serving in Afghanistan and refused to present another segment while mad at José. This segment appears only sporadically.
- Thought of the Day - A short commentary on the state of football by José at the end of the show. Occurred only in the earliest episodes.
- Syndication of Special 1 TV - A short episode of Special 1 TV from another country, sometimes in different languages, from America, Italy, Germany and Sweden.
- Footballer's Tweets - A brief segment in the current season whereby temporary signing Fabio 'Cabbageman' Capello read out tweets from Premier League footballers. José is unimpressed with Fabio's feeble attempts at choosing humourus tweets to read out and subsequently sacks him Alan Sugar style to be replaced by Arsène Wenger. The segment is then dropped from the show.

Famous quotes containing the words recurring and/or segments:
“America is the world’s living myth. There’s no sense of wrong when you kill an American or blame America for some local disaster. This is our function, to be character types, to embody recurring themes that people can use to comfort themselves, justify themselves and so on. We’re here to accommodate. Whatever people need, we provide. A myth is a useful thing.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“It is not, truly speaking, the labour that is divided; but the men: divided into mere segments of men—broken into small fragments and crumbs of life, so that all the little piece of intelligence that is left in a man is not enough to make a pin, or a nail, but exhausts itself in making the point of a pin or the head of a nail.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
