Then in part 2, Jon runs through the East group, which included a dramatic late comeback win for FC Tokyo over rivals Tokyo Verdy (to end). Plus all the usual Player of the Round and Games to Watch sections.

Welcome to J-Talk Takeover Week! On this episode of JTET, regular Big Pod hosts Jonny and Ben run the rule over the weekend's goings-on in the J2/J3 100 Year Vision League.

Ben kicks us off with a rundown of all of the East B action (to 14:15), before moving on to East A, with Jonny offering his thoughts on each club from each respective group (to 22:56).

Then Jonny takes the reins and begins with the West A action (to 38:37), before finishing with West B, with Ben chiming in with some thoughts on some of the west's under or overachievers.

Stay tuned for James and Jon's takeover of Big Pod later in the week, and our special episode after Hajime Moriyasu names his World Cup squad on Friday.

After a hectic Golden Week slate of J2/J3 matches, James & Jon return to look over the big talking points from the most recent games!

In Part 1 (Start to 11:50), James picks out the vital information from Round 14 (played last weekend) from the Western perspective, while in Part 2 (11:50 to 22:10), Jon does similar for the East divisions.

In Part 3 (22:10 to 47:30), the boys got together for the first time in a fortnight to talk about the Round 15 games from the West (played on Wednesday afternoon/evening), before finishing off with a review of everything from Round 15 in the East (47:30 to Finish).

Topics under discussion include Ehime's stellar recent form, Tokushima parting company with manager Gert Engels in rather unceremonious fashion, and Jon's trip to deepest Tochigi to watch Yokohama FC's latest attempt to serve up 'impressive football'.

There's also Most Bravo Player chat, and a look forward to this weekend's Round 16 games!
