In case you haven’t listened to this week’s episode of the mainline @jtalkpod.bsky.social this week, it’s worth a punt (not least because Jon from JTET is the ‘special’ guest).

The lads are starting their pre-season preview cycle, so Jon talks about Mito & JEF Chiba’s prospects for Feb - June ‘26!

Many great reflections on an exciting year of #J2 action! Many thanks to both Jon and James @jtalket.bsky.social for giving us fans a safespace to express our joys and pains. It was wonderful to be able to contribute this season! Will be strange to hear them talk about #JEFUnited on the bigboy pod.
