    Gents, supported lokeren for over 14 years from the UK and came across this podcast. Love it! It fills the gaps when trying to read articles and translate. Although missing the madness of the last day and tonight’s game with Lokeren going 2-0 up in the playoffs - any chance of your thoughts / overview podcast?
